-Intel i5-7600K
-GTX 1060 6GB RAM
-16GB RAM (Corsair or G.Skill)
-2x 240GB SSD
-1x 1TB HDD (if necessary but preferably SSD)

3.5 isnt enough to build a k series build PLUS the 2 ssd's and 16gb ram....
only net you one of the 3.... thats how poor the rm is now.

400 is barely enough for the mobo... do you know how much those bits cost??

approximate breakdown; (cheapest bits you can find + figs rounded down)

1)i5 7600k alone already hits rm1k+

2)z170 > rm400, z270 >rm600 (afaik thats the pricing for these overclock-able boards currently)
=so far mobo + proc already makan 1.4k++ (minimum)

3)240gb ssd is around rm300+ a piece.....
=1.4+300+300 = 2000

4)1050ti 700++
=2000+700 = 2700

5)8gb ram is more than rm240
=2940

6)psu 500w (lets just taker the cheapo hexa) = 200
=3140

Figure at this point isnt even a correct figure, actual prices for the parts above are slightly higher and we would still need a few bits
7)case
8)cooler

just trying to point out that the initial AND second build you suggested were impossible to say the least.... the third build is way cut down compared to the other 2.... ofc its possible BUT for tripple-A titles.... imo a 1050ti isnt really cutting it. since the request was for a gaming pc..... dumping money into the proc isnt a good idea, might as well drop the k-series processor and get a good 1060 (6gb if possible)
thats my 2 cents...

edit:
basically trying to say, you cannot get the k series with a 1060 or that amount of memory, you can only pick one of the three.....

Need a rig for photoshop/lightroom usage, don't need GFX and SSD (will reuse old). Wants smaller footprint casing.

Any recommendation?

Please ensure your current GPU can be installed in the following casing (CM Elite 110), if it doesn't fit, you will need to swap to a slightly bigger casing like CM Elite 130. Same goes to PSU, if the power requirement of your GPU is higher than what the below PSU can support then you will need to upgrade the PSU as well.

u might wana bump your budget up abit given your requirements (am also assuming no monitor is needed otherwise its really really tight)
3k budget, you will probably not want a overcloack-able processor... no point you get water cooling....

you can just ngam ngam afford a basic i5+1060 build.... scroll back and look at some of terence_nwb's builds.... he has recently posted a few that meet your demands.... (except the led's and water cooling which isnt required or even nessasary given your budget)

Yeah monitor isnt required.. and cooler is just optional upgrade, maybe on future. however my budget is 3k above means min 3k and above..overclockable processor is considerable as well

You should have stated the max budget you have, budget 3k above means nothing TBH, 10k is also 3k above and the difference is 7k

The build below is solely aim to take advantage of the Asus Aura Sync feature for RGB lighting (since you mentioned you prefer LED lighting and stuffs), it is not practical to follow such build if you are on a tight budget as these products are usually more expensive than the standard product which doesn't have all these fancy features included. No 3rd party CPU cooler is included in the build below FYI, you may add one if you want, stock cooler is enough for now unless you got a lot of money to burn.

Intel Core i5 7400 - RM 841
Asus ROG Strix H270F - RM 689
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 275
Asus GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Strix - RM 1569
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 375
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
EVGA SuperNova 550 G2 - RM 459
Phanteks Eclipse P400S RGB Tempered Glass - RM 415

Just surf IdealTech. I used reliable sources to quote, you can double-check prices at where you buy as well.

Hi, need help to suggest for custom rig.

[Budget] MYR3000

[Purpose] Mainly for 3D rendering and little bit for gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Only mouse

[Monitor resolution] 21

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Sketchup, Vray, 3D MAX, Revit, Phosotshop

[Personal preferences] intel Core i7

[Location] Klang Valley

Thank you in advance.

Sry, I don't need that small as in SFF, perhaps maybe motherboard with 2 PCIe slot (might want to add a soundcard)

Need a new monitor? If no you may consider this:

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1403
Asus H110M-K - RM 259
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
Palit GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 StormX - RM 565
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169
Tecware Edge - RM 149

Total: RM 3019 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

If yes then you need to downgrade the CPU from i7 to i5 (or wait for AMD Ryzen for cheaper multicore CPU next month).

Intel Core i5 7500 - RM 908
Asus H110M-K - RM 259
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
Palit GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 StormX - RM 565
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169
Tecware Edge - RM 149
BenQ GW2270 - RM 432

Total: RM 2956 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

* BIOS update is required to run Kaby Lake CPU on a mobo with older chipset.

How about this then? It is much larger than SFF case (< 15 litre) but slightly smaller than mid tower.

Intel Core i5 7500 - RM 908
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - RM 419
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 275

SSD re-use
HDD re-use
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 429
Tecware F3 - RM 119

Total: RM 2150 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Thank you for the advise. I was thinking that the budget of rm3000 is excluding the monitor.

Hi Bros, am looking to get a gaming PC for less than 2K.
Excl. monitor and HDD.
Will just need a 120GB SSD in the new setup though.
Any recommendation?
Thanks
