Can you give the model of the motherboard?

Also change the PSU to a corsair CX450,

Watercooler is absolutely not necessary, the cooler that comes with the processor is good enough,

More info needed about the ram, how much ram, and is it a single stick, or 2 sticks?

 

Optional:

480gb SSD's are already really cheap, so i would go for a 480gb ssd.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Ok, these are nice, but your case is Micro ATX, so ATX motherboard wouldn't fit in there.

 

You could go for MSI B450M mortar, or B450M Bazooka Plus.

 

Woops sorry, you are all good. Your case supports both.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

1050ti basically is really bad value. It performs far worse than the rx570.

 

Drop the stupid water cooler, and update the GPU to a GTX 1060 6GB.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

It's okay but thanks for pointing some good mATX mobo might change to either of those if budget is too tight

Think 1600 is $80 at microcenter now, if OP can go there in person to buy it then it'd be even more money saved
