Not bad, but is it possible to do something about the cables? I'm not sure if the case has space behind the motherboard tray, but making it a bit neater would improve its looks a lot!

this is a good idea.

 

Or if you only play like 1 game, drop that HDD. Upgrade GPU and save up for the mass storage later.

Which 1050Ti or 1060 should I get?

Get an R3 1200 instead of the 1300x. Get a cheaper 240-256GB SSD. Get a better PSU. Get faster RAM. Up the 1050 to a 1050Ti.

Go with Ryzen 3 1200.

Get 2400+ MHz RAM

Get a 2nd TB of HDD storage for just $10-15 more (or as the other poster said, get the HDD later)

500 watts is probably overkill for this build, but whatever reliable PSU you can get is fine.
