Been years since I built a computer, do these components match?

I used to build my own PCs back in the day, but I turned into a laptop user, so it's been a long time since I did one. I looked around tom's articles and decided on these as they more or less match my budget.

What I am looking for is to see if I am missing something vital here:
Case: Housing Masterbox 5
CPU i5-7500
GPU GeForce 1050 Ti
RAM Corsair Vengeance
Mother ASRock SLI Z270 Pro4
SSD SK Hynix
Power CORSAIR CX650M

I'm open to recommendations, thanks in advance.

I use the pro 4 (albeit the full atx one)
Its a good board , better than the PC mate IMO.

I would go for the full size pro 4 for an extra $10 , you get more expansion slots & both a PCI express based m2 slot & a second sata one.

Not looking to game, mostly for Maya.

Sweet, I just did a quick benchmark comparison and it seems that you are indeed right. Thank you for the heads up.

Psu is a little much for a 1050ti, you could easily use a corsair CXM 450W or even a Seasonic S12-II 520w, both coming in @ $50 or less.

If Maya is what will be primary, I'd consider 2 changes. First would be as much ram as budget will allow, 32Gb would be healthy, 64Gb if the board can handle it. With a Ryzen, try for 2666MHz or 3000MHz, it's a quick and inexpensive boost to performance.

Secondly, I'd forgo use of the 1050ti and aim towards a nvidia Quadro, something like the P600.

Good thinking on the P600, any recommendations for a good budget AM4 motherboard? I'm looking at the MSI PC Mate and ASRock AB350M Pro4.

As for the PSU, it comes quite cheap so I decided to go for it, basically for the same price of a 450W.
