Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1424
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - RM 419
G.SKill Aegis Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 560
Palit GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Dual - RM 1229
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 375
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 359
Tecware Edge - RM 149
ViewSonic VA2419-SH IPS - RM 525

Total: RM 5259 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

To keep within your budget, you may do one of these (or more):
1. Downgrade the PSU
2. Downgrade the mobo
3. Get a 120GB SSD instead of 240GB
4. Downgrade to 8GB RAM

etc.

Always base performance first before adding SSD. Also, Transcend 220S will blow Kingston UV400 away. I think there is a price hike on Trancend SSDs though.

Let's say I don't want to have SSD in this built (or only getting 120GB for OS/Essentials), which part i can spend more to enhance the performance further?

Graphic card. Next level for CPU is significantly more expensive. Need to change to overclockable motherboard and adding heatsink.

Alright, will put that in consideration, thanks for your suggestion! biggrin.gif
