Kind of disappointing!!!

Incompatible motherboard and processor for one. Poor quality psu and hard drive. What is your budget for this build? And I really wouldn't go AMD at this point.

I have about 550 USD, Thanks for helping me with this.

total 6043kr = $664usd

Unfortunately, that is well over budget. And that is the lowest I would go. Basically you would need more money saved up.

Also, what type of games are you planning on playing? The 1050ti may not be powerful enough depending on games played.

While that is a viable option it will be much more expensive in the long term to start with entry level parts then move up to higher performance parts. Even if you resell the used parts you won't get what you paid for them.
Well im not gona pay 1000 USD at once for the PC so this will have to do.
