It definately seems as if this is a gaming RIG and for that, The only things i could say on this is that a GTX 1050 can have some trouble playing high end games on even a non widescreen 1080p monitor, so that could be a bit more taxing depending on what your trying to achieve. Again, depending on what your playing and settings, 8gb of system RAM could pose an issue in the future, maybe look into upgrading to 16GB if your getting close to that limit. 

 

Other than that, it basically comes down to preference ^_^ everything else looks fine and should be solid though i am a bit surprised how much you spent on peripherals when you could have put a bit of that towards a bit higher CPU/RAM/GPU =P BUT! it does look like a quite nice setup, nicely done! and congrats =)

The cooler is overkill but nice. GPU is weak and will struggle in games. Power supply is also too much. Could have gone with a 550W.

 

But it looks amazing in the photo. Hats off to you.

 

A good build name. Following the white theme, I am suggesting "Frost".

ah i see =P that makes more sense now lol definately wait a bit til GPU's come down in price, supposedly nvidia new cards are set for "maybe" august so should wait at least til then to see what happens with prices/availability. 

 

Frost sounds good, or maybe Arctic Chill? as it looks like a sweet chill spot xD

Haha yeah GPU Prices were already expensive in Australia as is. This whole price epidemic just made it worse here. will be waiting until September for a new GPU. Frost sounds pretty cool. may go with Killer Frost of somethin

I agree with what he said about the gpu choice, you should've gone with a 10606gb in the first place so that you don't have to upgrade again so soon, although I understand that you couldn't really cause of the gpu prices, makes sense. Also, go with Frost, Killer Frost sounds like too much and too stereotypical gamer sounding.
