Is this setup good for a mid range gaming computer?

Hello everyone.

I am trying to build a mid range gaming computer that can run my 144hz 1080p monitor and capable of streaming on twitch too.
The main concept is to make the best silent and fast computer for the price. I prefer mini tower, so here is what i think the best setup.

Processor: Intel Core i5-8400
GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO (500gig)
Case: Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 3.1
Mother Board: ASRock Z370M Pro4
Power supply: Chieftec Smart 500W

What do you think about this setup? If you know any hardware that would suit me more please share your knowledge.

Depends on what games you play. In most games you won't benefit from 144hz cuz the gpu won't render that much. Also I recommend an i7 or the best i5 for streaming.

Should be Quite nice and 6 cores should handle streams. I would push some HDD storage for backups etc, but other than that it SHOULD handle streaming.
you will get ~100 fps with reasonable settings, but I have no idea how taxing streams will be on your FPS.

Can easily push 144+ FPS on eSports titles. Not so much about AAA titles, though. I pretty much have the same build except the SSD is half the size, ram is Team Vulcan 3000mhz 16gb kit and mobo is Z370P D3.
For example, CSGO FPS is 300+ fps. I'm planning to buy Forza 7 which can be pretty demanding and from the research I've done, 1050 Ti + 8400 can push only 60+ fps @1080p max settings. Other games, like, AAA can be pushed to 60+ @1080p.
