Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1242
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 266
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 Single Fan - RM 489
FSP Hexa+ 400W - RM 145
Bitfenix Nova - RM 149

Total: RM 2580 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

You can do the following to keep below 2.5k:
1. Remove the dedicated GPU if you don't mind to run those games listed with low/medium settings at 1080p60, the iGPU (Intel HD 530) is able to do that.
2. Remove the other 8GB RAM for the time being (not recommended as more memory do benefit video editing/rendering).

If you can accept the extra RM 80 then you can consider sticking to this build.

Windows 10 will be installed for free by ETech (as reported by forumers here).

Another casing option would be Tecware Alpha (RM 199), it comes with 2 front intake fans which can improve the airflow of the rig.

Thanks for the detailed suggestions, do you have any idea when the next gen Intel Proc & Nvdia GPUs will hitting our shores? If it's this year I can wait.

Nvidia's Pascal is coming soon in June/July while Intel Kaby Lake's ETA is still unknown, but it is rumored to be released in Q3 or Q4 later this year.

Cool, once they released I'll ask again. biggrin.gif

Quick one, which is a better PSU in terms of performance/efficiency ? Corsair CS550W or Cooler Master V550S? I am aware that one is modular the other isn't. Perhaps can suggest another Gold Rated PSU? Which is in a similar price range to these?

They all fall in different tier so you cannot compare them directly.

CM V series is the highest end series in CM PSU line up, it uses high quality Japanese capacitors while Corsair CS series is one of the low end series with 80+ Gold rating (rare case), the internal components are found to be mixed with Japanese and Taiwanese parts, the price of this PSU is expensive (overpriced), if you were to choose this PSU, I will suggest you to go for Bronze rated Seasonic M12II EVO/S12II series instead.

FSP Hexa+ is considered one of the best low end PSU (below RM 200 mark). It doesn't have the best internal components but the price is very worth considering it is from the popular FSP OEM.

As for current stability, review etc, you can find more info online.

I see, what about models from Seasonic? Like X-560 or G-550? IINM they are the OEM for some of CM's PSU? unsure.gif

Yes, there is one model up for pre-order last month By Asus but no more news after this, maybe Asus only brought in few units for those who pre-ordered so I didn't include it in the list.  sweat.gif

Asus MG279Q IPS 144Hz FreeSync - RM 2699 (Pre-order price)
