I won't use a 2200g. Why use a build with an APU when you're getting a decent dedicated gpu anyways? Go with a 1300x or Intel 8350k.

Looks good, I don't think your going to fine a 1050 ti for 175$ though. I have heard some bad things about the EVGA b3 power supplies and some said get the b2's but I'm not completely sure they're that bad.

2200g is basically same performance as 1300x and about 15$ cheaper.

If you can, change the SSD to one that isn't crap. Something like the SL308, MX300, MX500 or 850/860 Evo.

Change the PSU to something that isn't quite as much of a fire hazard. Something like the CX450/M.

I would recommend a Corsair CX550M PSU instead of that EVGA unit. It's considerably better and not a whole lot more expensive.

I would also strongly recommend overclocking the CPU and RAM, but not overclocking the iGPU (since you won't need it).

240GB SSD is a decent size but you will only be able to install a few games for the time being, if you can afford it I would suggest trying to drop in a 1 or 2 TB HDD into the system for mass storage (there is about a $20 difference between the two with the 2TB being better value).
