PROCESSOR- Intel Core i5 7600K @ 3.80 GHz

PSU- Corsair TX750M 750W 80 Plus Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply

GPU- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB Video Card

Motherboard- MSI B250 GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard

SSD- Intel 600p 128GB 80mm PCIE 3.0 X4 M.2 SSD

RAM- Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB (4x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz

MONITOR- 24" AOC E2470SW LED Gaming Monitor 1ms Speaker HDMI VGA DVI 1920X1080 Full HD

Thanks alot!

You should've gotten a Z270 motherboard and a DDR4-3200MHz kit to take advantage of your unlocked K processor.

I'm not too familiar with unlocked K processor? but would it be worth it to get the new motherboard? and better ram?
also this isn't really for overclocking as i've never been down that road but I do want good quality gaming, like beautiful graphics would be nice, also is it okay to have my gpu fan running continuously at 60-70% fan speed
and one more question
if you could look at a picture of my set up could you tell me if all the fans are set up correctly facing the right ways? including the heat sink

Case: Great
Cooler: Good
HDD: Great
CPU: Okay
PSU: Great
GPU: BAD get a GTX 1060 or better. With your budget you could get a better one.
MOBO: okay
SSD: okay (overpriced) with this money you could also get a better GPU. But this is my opinion.
Ram:Good get 16GB and you will be future proof.
Monitor: Great

Hmmm....
Your cpu heatsink is not mounted correctly.
