Change your case, if you are on a budget I suggest watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdtBkN3vrpQ&

You can get a cheaper Motherboard if you'd like unless it has a feature you want

That is an AMD cooler and will not work with your CPU, get something like the Cryorig H7 or Cooler Master Hyper 212

If you can swing it I would seriously suggest getting 16GB Ram (2x8GB sticks) since more and more games are pushing that 8GB as a minimum

If you can swing it I would suggest a 1050ti over the 1050 as well.

I would get a different PSU, thats a fairly low quality in the EVGA line, on your budget a Corsair CX500M

Use a site like PCpartspicker.com to find the best deals on the parts.
