RAM to reuse? What model is that? (DDR3/DDR4/speed/model name etc.)
This monitor supports FreeSync out of the box so a compatible AMD GPU with FreeSync support will be able to benefit from it, something like RX480/470/R9 Fury will do (or wait for RX490/upcoming Vega for Nvidia GTX1070/GTX1080 equivalent card).

4GB X 3 DDR4 Kingston. Please quote including RAM as well. Thank you. notworthy.gif

So you got 4GB x 3 DDR4 RAM to reuse and the build list doesn't have to include any new RAM quotation right? (I assume yes)

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1399
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379
Kingston 12GB (4GB x 3) DDR4 <unknown speed> RAM - reuse
Gigabyte GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Windforce - RM 1319
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 315
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 205
EVGA Supernova 550 G2 - RM 459
Tecware Alpha - RM 229

Total: RM 4305 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

GTX1070 is possible if you downgrade the PSU. If your DDR4 RAM is > 2133MHz (i.e. 2400MHz), it will be automatically downclocked to 2133MHz due to chipset limitation.

Would be good for you to indicate what you use the rig for. Am assuming gaming and if so, what kind of games. Also critical is your budget indication

oops.. sorry forgot to state my budget. Yes it was for gaming. Mostly Overwatch, Battlefield 1 and FIFA. Might be getting For Honor as well.. My budget roughly around 1000-1300

It's either GTX1060 6GB or RX480 8GB with that budget range.

GTX1060 performs better in DX11/OpenCL games (~95% of the titles in the market now).

RX480 performs better in DX12/Vulkan games (only few titles but it is increasing slowly).
