Thoughts on pc build

Just wanted opinions on a build I’m going to do:

Intel i5 7500, Msi gtx 1050 Ti gaming X, Corsair H100i Aio, 8 gbs (2 x 4gb) of any cheap ddr4, NZXT H200i, Msi Z270I Gaming Pro Carbon AC, an 80+ bronze or up 500w modular psu, 1tb western digital blue HDD, and any 250gb SSD

Edit:

Mini Itx build (don’t have much vertical space) 

budget is around $750

want to be able to over click a cpu in the future

Okay, at first, your part choices dont look so bad but "any" psu could ruin ur pc. Dont just pick random component, especially the PSU... We could disagree on the ram but you get my point.

But 1st: Dont take an Z270 if u arent gonna overclock.

2nd, (more a subjective part) Dont spend all of your money on the mobo and case. You could save money on the mobo and case and get like 16gb ram or even a used gtx 1060.

3rd: Consider getting a 1600(x)

4th: Give your budget and region next time so we could change some parts if needed so you could end up with a better build

An i3-8100 has performance similar to the i5-7500.

There is little point putting an H100i V2 cpu cooler on a locked cpu.

A good 450W psu is perfectly adequate for this build.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XCxsKB $730, faster CPU and better GPU. Buy the 1060 3gb its a better value than the 1050ti.

Don't get an aftermarket cooler there is no need for it since you're not OC. The reason you cant OC is that the 8100 doesn't support it. You will have to step up to the K variant if you want to OC. :)

Instead of going mini itx (unless it's a necessity), what about a Fractal Meshify C? Or Phanteks Enthoo Pro Midi M TG?

I'd say still get a cooler. Looks + lower temps/acoustics. 20-30 bucks should do you more than plenty.

It's not all about look in reality it's whether or not its practical and Intel's stock cooler does just fine but if he needs an aftermarket cooler. He/she should get the t4 or hyper 212. For a build like this, I would grab the t4.

Agreed. Even when gaming he can expect 70+ or even sometimes 80° with that Intel cooler, not mentioning the turbo jet engine and coil whine.
