I'm looking at building a computer and currently have this:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KWbwD2

Basically, I don't have a budget currently and need to start saving.

Ideally, I want the PC to cost less than this but I'm not sure where to cut, as I want to be able to stream games.

The plan was to get the cpu, mobo, ram, ssd now and a super cheap 1050, then upgrade to a 1080 at a later date, as I need the PC asap and don't want to have to upgrade more than I have to in the future (such as better ram, cpu, an ssd etc). I also plan to add (in the future) a bunch of extra fans and a few more hard drives (don't ask), and perhaps a second monitor. I choose the PSU I did because I feel like I might need it for the computer to last for years with nearly 16 hours a day for gaming, with it being on for nearly 24/7 (if not me, someone else is on it).

Currently my mouse is damaged & I use a laptop, so no option to cut on monitor/mouse/keyboard either.

I also wanted to try and future proof it to some extent hence cutting the graphics card so much for a later date to get better processor etc but is there a more efficient way I can do this?

Finally, is the wireless card I choose good for range? I'm not really sure how to tell, I'm basically nowhere near the router...my laptop picks it up fine currently though.

Thanks in advanced!

In truth, it's almost pointless to make a build now to purchase later. Pricing and availability can change dramatically over a short period. According to your savings time frame you have availability of 20xx cards, possible 9th gen Intel, Ryzen refresh all looming.

Aside from that I think your build idea is solid.
