It could work, but money could be spent more wisely.

However, I would get the 1050 Ti Mini, scout for a cheaper case, and remove the case fans (they're good to have but not necessary).
This will allow you roughly an extra 50 bucks to spend. Use that 50 dollars towards adding an SSD for your OS (it'll help boot times for the OS and applications like Google Chrome).

Also, I'd get a wifi adapter that you can fit inside your actual desktop. Look for a PCI/PCI-E type of adapter.

If you live in the continental US, here is a better build:
