It's a pretty good build, but for a little more you can get a ryzen 3 and an SSD

G4560 is no longer worth buying... Ryzen is better bang for the buck, come with a decent cooler for decent OCing up to 3.8 GHz. Throw in an SSD for boot drive, it will improve speed by a lot. Ryzen loves fast rams, 3200 MHz is ideal, 2x4 better than 1x8. 1060 3gb a big improvement from 1050 ti. Kept all your rest components :)
