You could probably swap the 1050ti for a 1060 mini and stay on budget.

What is the the difference between a normal 1060 3gb version and the mini one? Any links you could provide for the Mini 1060.

 
The minis are alittle cheaper, have slightly less clock speeds (probably insignificantly so) and consume less power but still are more powerful then teh 1050ti. However they also run hotter and are noisier.

I should say this build doesn't include the cost of Windows, however you can use Windows 10 in a sort of trial mode, although there are some cosmetic limitations put in place.
