GPU
galax 1070 ti exoc snpr = rm1990
zotac 1080 mini = rm2250
(tbh, far a cassual gamer this is kind of overkill? maybe a 1060 6gb would be fine)

You got a point there.
I am not a heavy gamer but I would like to play high end AAA games (and hopefully high res and FPS) such as PUBG which is not optimized.
I am planning to get a wide screen and higher than 1080p monitor (still deciding).
Would GTX 1060 be enough? Or should I go for GTX 1070/1080?

Yeah but Mini cards are not recommended due to just enough cooling. 6k can get you these

Intel is slightly better for gaming but the motherboard support is stale. AMD still supports AM4 till at least 2020

If you really want intel, switch to these

Core i5-8500 - 785
Gigabyte B360M-D3H - 369

Vega is overpriced for the performance it provides. Price levels

GTX 1070 TI/GTX 1080 > Vega 56
GTX 1080 Ti > Vega 64

So if I want better cooler, I should avoid Mini cards?

Motherboard support for Intel is stale... you mean to say I will not be able to upgrade much in the future, since it will change soon?

GTX 1080 > Vega etc.... in terms of performance or pricing?

Are you waiting for the new gen to upgrade your GPU? If no, then you should upgrade your GPU first to at least a 1070Ti as that will give you a better performance boost. Your CPU is still a pretty good one for gaming.

New gen? You mean GTX 11xx series? When is the planned availability for them in Malaysia?

I understand the GPUs prices have dropped quite favourably?
Should I get it now (GTX 10xx) or wait for GTX 11xx? Will GTX 11xx be available in Malaysia by Sept?

If you can wait, then its worthwhile to see what Nvidia has to offer. If its not up to your liking and you prefer 10 series still, 10 series cards should drop a tad bit by then.

Good point. I was considering whether to buy 10 series before SST starts in Sept. Not a wise decision eh?
