FreeSync monitor requires an AMD card to take advantage of it, and there is no equivalent card from AMD that provides the performance of GTX1070 yet so you gonna go for Nvidia path in this case, GSync monitor is expensive, almost 50% more than the cost of an equivalent FreeSync monitor.

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1408

AOC G2460PG GSync - RM 1900
TP-LINK Archer T6E AC1300 PCI WiFi - RM 150

Total: RM 7709 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

To reduce the total cost, you may:
1. Get a cheaper model of GTX1070 (Palit/Zotac)
2. Get a non-GSync monitor (can save more than RM 600)
3. Switch to RX480 and FreeSync monitor (RX480 is slower than GTX1070 though)
4. Downgrade the mobo to older chipset/PSU.

etc.

New set? If yes then the price confirm > 3k now

Intel Core i5 6500 (3.2 - 3.6 GHz) - around RM 900
MSI B150i Gaming Pro AC (Mobo) - around RM 500
8GB DDR4-2133 RAM - around RM 250
1TB HDD - Not needed
GTX 1060 6GB - around RM 1250 (cheapest variant)
Raven RVZ02 Casing (Slim m-itx casing) - around RM 400
Silverstone SFX 500W 80Plus Gold PSU - around RM 400

Total up will be around RM 3700.

Not quite possible when the casing and PSU requirements are fixed, they are expensive and will only add burden to your wallet

Intel Core i3 7100 - RM 559
Asus H110M-K - RM 271 (BIOS update is required to support Kaby Lake CPU)
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 255

Optional upgrade (if needed only, not necessary need to follow):
1. i5 7400 (if tasks require multicore CPU)
2. 16GB RAM (if tasks require a lot of memory)
3. SSD (recommended to improve system responsiveness as well as system boot time)

Depends on which games you are going to run, but considering the fact that 1050Ti/960 is a mid end card, you are unlikely to run latest titles on max/ultra settings, so your i3 is probably fine, don't worry too much about CPU bottleneck, just lower down the games settings if there is really a CPU bottleneck, the performance gain from your 7850 is quite significant (~30%)

mITX mobo in an ATX case? Not saying it is not compatible, just not a good idea, go for at least mATX for more RAM slots (if got), PCIe slots and etc.

And I noticed you have a PCIe WiFi adapter in the build list, mITX mobo only comes with 1 full 16x PCIe slot and for sure it's for your main GPU, so you need to swap to mATX mobo to install the PCIe WiFi adapter.

Remove the CPU cooler and go for a 120GB entry level SSD, stock cooler is good enough for a locked i5, SSD will improve the system responsiveness as well as boot time.

There is no B150-HDV, I am assuming you are referring to B150M-HDV. Both models listed by you are mATX form factor

B150 is a slightly better chipset than H110, more RAM slots (the one you mentioned above doesn't take advantage of this though), more USB ports, more SATA ports etc.

If their price is within similar range, then the B150 will be a better pick.

Dell U2417H (or U2414H for older version) - around RM 990+/-

Dell S2415H (glossy screen) - around RM 750+/-

Acer R241Y - around RM 750+/-

Possible but you will need to change the mobo to mITX form factor, ATX PSU to SFX(L) PSU and get a low profile air cooler for the CPU, the total cost will be much more than buying a new set.

FSP Hexa is slightly cheaper than Corsair VS and both of them are low end PSU, either one is fine with your available budget.

Both are equally good to me, they have solid build quality, there are plenty of reviews available online. If you happen to own a compatible Asus GPU (& other compatible aura sync enabled hardware like selected Phanteks casing and G.SKill TridentZ RGB RAM), you will be able to utilize the RGB aura sync features if you choose Strix Z270F.

MSI Tomahawk is one tier lower than Pro Carbon.

They do have similar amount of power phase count (10 which is very good for stable OC), but Tomahawk doesn't support Nvidia SLI and RGB lighting.

Yes

You may downgrade the i5 6600 to i5 6500 (or even i5 6402P to save even more).

Stick with stock cooler for the initial build, if it gets too hot then only add a low profile 3rd party CPU cooler.

GTX1060 3GB is a good pick if you are on a tight budget (or RX470 4GB is fine too), you get roughly 90% of the performance of the full GTX1060 6GB specs at ~RM 300 lesser.

Intel Core i5 7400 - RM 841
ASRock B250 Pro 4 - RM 449
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 275

Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 359
Tecware Edge - RM 149

Total: RM 3521 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Alternate build:
1. Older chipset mobo (H110/B150) with a 120GB SSD (or 240GB SSD if you downgrade the PSU too)

No mobo? No PSU? No casing? How to run this setup?

Budget?

Yes you can, you may do this:

Intel Core i5 7400 - RM 841
ASRock B250 Pro 4 - RM 449
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 275
Sapphire RX470 4GB GDDR5 Nitro+ - RM 998
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 375
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 195
Tecware Edge - RM 149

Total: RM 3501 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Then you need to re-calculate your allocation as well, it will be over budget, the price difference between GTX1060 3GB and 6GB is around RM 300+/- only

Then it will be either 3 of these (there ain't too many mATX mobo choices to make):

1. Asus Prime Z270M-PLUS (7 power phase design)
2. ASRock Z270M Extreme 4 (6 power phase design)
3. ASRock Z270M Pro 4 (6 power phase design)

More power phase is better for OC traditionally but this had changed in the past few generations (around Broadwell/Skylake era), 6 is sufficient to provide a stable OC for most of the reviewers, what is more important is the quality of the VRM and the temperature management, these boards are very new and don't have much reviews posted online yet, well in this case, I would go with the one I like in terms of features offered and board design, probably the Z270M Extreme 4 (comes with PCIe steel slots, RGB LED support and cool design).

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.

Please make sure your current GPU can be fitted in the casing chosen above (if you aren't sure, you can state out the model here so I can determine for you).

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.

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