Hi folks ! (This is my first post here)

I hope you're all having an awesome time with Christmas slowly approaching !
I came here today to ask you about a build that I plan on buying before or short after the year ends. I know many topics are similar to that one and I hope it doesn't annoy you !
So basically it is a 750$-800$ build and what I want from you guys is to give me your opinions/tips about it and what should I change/add. Also, I am new to the PC world so I don't want to go over 800$ for this build. It goes like this :
CPU : iNTEL i5-7400
GPU : Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti G1 Gaming Edition
MOBO : MSI B250M Pro-VD
Storage : Seagate Barracuda 1To
Memory : Ballistix Sport LT 1x8Go
Power Supply : Corsair CX450M (should I take CX550M instead ?)
Case : Masterbox Lite 3.1

Thanks folks for answering me !

Where are you buying from?
Whats your budget and currency?
What monitor(s) are you using with this system?
If you need monitor(s), what's the budget including them?
What exactly will you be using the system for?

Thanks for the reply !
I am buying from amazon (I know for a fact that there are some websites that sell gear for lower prices but I don't know what are the best ones)
My currency is euros so, as my budget limit is 800 it is approximately $790.
I don't want a monitor that's more expensive than 100 although I've already seen one on amazon that's convenient for me (Phillips 223V5LSB2).
I plan on using this PC for gaming essentially.

I meant what country? Euros could be Ireland, Germany, Italy, etc. You're not buying from the US so your budget in USD is no help

So, 900 euros including monitor? Or 800 euros with monitor?

What games? What else than games?

I'm in France.
I meant 800 with the monitor
I plan on doing some GTA V, Overwatch, Battlefront, Witcher 3, Fortnite, PUBG, etc... Quite the latest games (they're not the very latest but you get the idea)

Thanks !

If you can manage a little over budget, this would be a killer system;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (104.99 @ Amazon France)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (89.98 @ Amazon France)
Memory: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (93.08 @ Amazon France)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (68.99 @ Amazon France)
Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (239.90 @ Amazon France)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (45.49 @ Amazon France)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (57.61 @ Amazon France)
Monitor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (134.95 @ Amazon France)
Total: 834.99
Just add an HDD to it when you have some more money.

Otherwise;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (104.99 @ Amazon France)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (89.98 @ Amazon France)

Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (68.99 @ Amazon France)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (41.90 @ Amazon France)
Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (147.95 @ Amazon France)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (45.49 @ Amazon France)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (71.41 @ Amazon France)
Monitor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (134.95 @ Amazon France)
Total: 798.74
Semi-modular PSU and a 1TB HDD within budget, but a slower GPU.

Thank you for your time !
Now I have a problem with that and it is that I never asked you to offer me a whole new build, even though I still appreciate the effort ! I just asked for some advice about the build I first proposed, what components should I keep/change without going over my budget I also asked people to tell me if it was a good build for a beginner.
Thank you very much for the time and effort you've put in but I didn't seek that kind of answer. Though, I would still like your opinion about the original build I mentionned !

Thanks.

The i5-7400 is a poor choice. An i3-8100 would be better. No SSD. Case is meh. What I recommended has an SSD, better case, better PSU, better CPU with more/better upgrade options, and better GPU if you can manage to get the RX 570. Plus the monitor I recommended has Freesync, which will be very nice with an AMD GPU. Much better than that cheap Philips crap.
