I guess you can call me a pc noobie and I just need someone to see if my chosen parts are compatible together and will work nicely. If you see some parts that do not work well together, please tell me how and suggest a better improvement for that part. Thank you!

Yes, but this will get you better performance for your money. In either case the Cryorig H7 is a better option for a cooler.

Everything seems good but I'm questioning why you're spending so much and getting a 1050ti, do you plan on playing more CPU intensive games? 16GB of DDR4-3000 RAM is quite overkill for a gaming rig, do you plan on doing video editing or intensive work as well? Don't get me wrong, the 1050ti is a good graphics card for the price but if it's a mainly gaming PC I feel like you should focus more on the GPU. Nice build tho!

Better Option. The 1060 6GB will make a difference.

High end CPU with an entry level GPU, mkay. The R5 1600 has equal or better performance in gaming. With my build you'll get sooo much more performance for your money. Just the GPU alone is 40% increase, and I even added an SSD and faster memory.

It all depends which games you want to record, you should be able to record gameplay fine with Shadowplay, which I think uses the least amount of the CPU. The specs should be fine for doing non-heavy editing.
