Pieced that together under $2k. Overkill for what I'm doing? Can I get a better bang for my buck?
I literally just built a PC like 2 months ago using very similar components. The elite 110 is a nice case but it was not very fun to work with it. I hope you have a modular power supply (although the vast majority of power supplies are modular these days).

32GB of RAM is overkill. You could safely drop to 16GB and basically have zero performance loss.

1050 Ti is extremely underpowered compared to the rest of your build.

Personally I have one of these http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX63114

but there are even some 1070's that are mini-ITX compatible for even more power.

What kind of CPU cooler are you getting? Remember your clearance is tiny.

Anyways here's a pic just to know what you're getting into!
