Does this look like a usable system?

Ketzni · Jul 23, 2017

Hello!
This is my first time building a PC and a couple of friends recommended I get help here.
I have made a list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ketzni/saved/#view=sD6TWZ
What I am wondering is, Is this all of the part required to make a good gaming PC. Am I missing anything? Are there things that don't need to be there or are there better cheaper options.
I look forward to your replies! Thanks!

Instead of the i5-2320 + GTX 1050 2GB build you initially listed, you'd get better value and performance with a Pentium G4560 + GTX 1050 Ti 4GB + better RAM, HDD and PSU. The case and headset were left untouched:
