Alright then, you can downgrade the GPU to an even cheaper one to save money if you want

Not quite possible to fit an i5 in the build, a 120GB SSD can be added with minor over budget though.

Case is very subjective, I usually don't prioritize the case in the budget first unless it is stated. Fancy and nice looking case could cost you a lot and will definitely bring down the overall specs that you can get with your budget, if your requirements are high (especially on GPU part) then I will sacrifice the case in order to get something that can at least match with them rather than skimping on hardware part.

Someone asked the same question earlier, Tecware vs Bitfenix, or Tecware Alpha vs Bitfenix Nova to be precise (sometimes Tecware F3), F3 is a mATX case so it is totally out of the question if your mobo is an ATX mobo. Since your budget is less than RM 150, then it is up to Nova vs F3 only, F3 comes with more casing fans, this could save you few bucks (possibly hundred), Nova in the other hand only comes with 1 rear exhaust fan but it is an ATX form factor case.

If form factor and clearance aren't the main issue, then F3 is a better pick for me, more color choices, cheaper, sleeker design in overall.

But of course, your budget matters the most.

Getting genuine Windows key from a retail shop could cost you a lot and doesn't help you too much in your situation especially when your budget is low, try to check Garage Sales for cheap genuine key if you want but be careful on this, some might be selling duplicate/stolen key etc.

If your current Windows 7 key is an OEM key then you cannot transfer the ownership to new mobo because OEM key is tied to the first activated mobo, but there are few ways to get past this, like asking support from Microsoft (not guarantee will success, they might ask you to buy a new key instead)

CPU upgrade is depends on the socket, so the upgrade room is pretty much locked to 2 generations (like Intel 6th and 7th gen both using LGA1151 socket), any upgrade beyond the same socket will require mobo upgrade too.

If you want (or can) to go up to 3.3k, then you can upgrade the CPU to i5 6500 and add a 120GB SSD. And this specs can run most of the games on high (or ultra if the game is well optimized for PC) settings

If you prefer to have more VRAM and full GTX1060 (the 3GB variant is around 10% weaker than the full specs 6GB variant), then you can consider to drop the SSD and use the extra money to get a 6GB GTX1060.

Drop the Z170 mobo and high performance RAM, use the extra money to get i7 6700 instead, some games are very CPU demanding and the i5 will somehow "bottleneck" the GTX1080 when it can't cope with the heavy CPU workload/demand, this is often seen in open world title and heavy multiplayer based title. Fast RAM does benefit Skylake CPU but you need a strong CPU foundation first before spending so much in a Z170 and high speed RAM, it is just a waste when your CPU doesn't even have the chance to fully utilize them due to "bottleneck".

Is 3TB HDD really necessary for now? If yes then you need to downgrade other parts, like mobo/case to keep below 6k, otherwise you can just get a 1TB HDD (costs around RM 220) for the time being for storage.

Not recommended to go for SLI setup anymore unless you have a lot of cash to spend, why I said so? Well you can just count how many titles out there have proper SLI support from Nvidia and games developers this year, we barely can fill up all the fingers that we have

It is not worth to spend so much to get a SLI ready or multi GPU setup anymore these days and the upcoming Volta GPU is said to drop SLI completely. Don't forget about the PSU requirement too if you really want to go for multi GPU setup

SLI ready mobo requires Z170 mobo (at least 16 PCIe lanes, dual x8) and the cheapest SLI ready mobo will cost around RM 650+/- (Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI).

Superflower Leadex Gold, the most valuable tier 1 PSU at the moment

And may I know which Be Quiet 600W PSU model you are referring to? There are many models out there.

You need Z170 mobo to take advantage of the overclocking ability too, if your budget allows then next thing you need to check is the game, if the game you play is very CPU demanding then the extra speed of 6600K will help you slightly.

About the cooler, it depends on your surrounding/ambient temperature and how much extra speed/voltage you bump into the CPU, mild overclocking should be fine.

Not all games can run on max settings at 1440p, it is all up to the optimization from the games developers FYI.

RX460 4GB > RX460 2GB/GTX950 2GB > GTX750Ti 2GB, well RX460 and GTX950 both are having extremely similar performance in games, but old rules still apply, those favor Nvidia card will see the GTX950 pulling ahead of RX460 and vice versa, the 4GB VRAM in RX460 is a bonus though, so there isn't a clear winner here.

If you want a better quality WiFi adapter, please top up your budget and try to get those with at least 1 antenna.

If you don't mind used item, then those cards listed by you are marginally faster than the new GTX750Ti.

Looks fine to me.

Checked the system requirements for both of the software listed and they don't seem to be very demanding to me.

If the workload of this PC involves some serious database management (possibly multithreaded or want to prevent data lost or memory error correction etc.), then you can think of getting a better CPU, like Xeon and ECC RAM, or even a UPS. But what you stated seems to be quite easy to achieve at the moment though

4k budget to include a decent CPU + GTX1070 + 1080p monitor will be very hard, but here is your reference (require some top up).

As you can see, I've to "downgrade" many hardware to fit the card in the budget, GTX1060/RX480 is more budget friendly and suitable for you, the extra funds can be used to get SSD/upgrade PSU/better monitor etc.

Please top up your budget if you want SSD (or you can downgrade the GPU to RX470 4GB or GTX1060 3GB, but performance will be slightly lower than the full specs 6GB GTX1060).

I would go for this then.

Upgrade to 500W model then, 450W (true power) will still be able to handle it well but we prefer to give the PSU extra headroom.

But don't go for i3 6320, what you get from the regular 6100 is just the minor 0.2GHz bump for extra RM 200, that's not worth, it is just a daylight robbery

I suggest you to pair the RX480 with an i5 CPU instead, some CPU demanding games run poorer on an i3 rig.

6100 has HD530 too FYI.
