First Entry Custom Gaming PC Build Help

[AceTitan]

Helloo, I've been researching and picking out parts for my first custom PC, he's what I've got https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NVGdQV . I based the build on the i5-6500, and the GTX 1050 Ti with a budget of 750$ - 850$. I've been swapping parts such as the storage and PSU for more cheaper/valued alternatives, I think I'm in a decent spot. What do you guys think of the parts/build? Are the parts compatible with each other? Is there any better parts I should swap out? Should I ditch the optical drive since I'm only going to use it once for installing drivers and windows? 

 

I've also checked the sizes of the hardwares if they'll fit inside the case (PSU, CPU cooler etc), it'll be great if you guys can verify it, thanks in advance :D

16GB RAM, super powerful CPU, etc.

 

keep in mind that if you wait until the mining bubble pops, you will be able to put in an RX 470/570 instead of the 1050Ti, which would crush it in games. if I were you, I would wait until AMD cards return to their MSRPs

So, I'm guessing using a thumb drive is more convenient?  A friend of mine says using USB is more complex, I have little knowledge of this area hahaha. Ditching the dvd drive sounds great saves me 20$ to get a keyboard since I don't have one

I'm not really well informed of the cryptocurrency scene, how does this affect the prices of the GPU? It's strange lol

right now, miners are buying every RX 470, 480, 580, 570, GTX 1060, 1070, and even 1080 they can find, since it's profitable to use them for mining.

this has led to GPU prices being way overinflated. cards like the RX 470, which are 75% or so more powerful than the 1050Ti, used to sell for $140ish, sometimes dropping as low as $120 with rebates. this is obviously a way better choice for your PC, but since there's a shortage right now, it costs about $400 instead. when the shortage goes away, prices will drop back down.

Oooh I see now, on the bright side, we have this sale event that happens every late October, hopefully the GPU prices come down before that. Thanks for the help
