Get dual channel RAM
I'd consider a case with better airflow, especially if you're spending money on fans
Any way you can wrangle a little more cash for a better CPU?

Anyway, if you want more in depth advice you're going to have to give us more to go on.

What games you play
What resolution
Other uses
Desired outcome

Welcome to the forum!

Buy a case that actually has airflow

buy a 1080p 144hz display for those kinds of games with a 1050ti instead of a 1060, just run them at lower settings, it'll be fine.

Maybe spend some money on a better CPU, as in buy a 2TB hard drive later. like an R5 2600 is pretty good and likely won't need replacing for a while.

You're going to want the fastest/cheapest dual channel RAM you can find

You're spending way too much on the mouse/keyboard, you can buy that stuff later.

No idea how good your part picker is for actual pricing/availability.

Motherboard might need a BIOS update, most are probably updated by now.

***SORRY WHAT

Is that a 240hz display for equivalent US pricing? What the fuck is going on there? It costs as much as 144hz displays on your part picker?!

If that's real probably buy it even if you can't exactly drive it for now.

No idea what cheaper stuff is readily available where you're at. Cheap Chinese mice are mostly fine IMO, have used the Redragon stuff worked fine for me, though I only got to AK in CS:GO.
