With this budget, suggest to wait till Intel 9th gen is out and reviewed. Hold on another 3-4 months. Meanwhile, can buy a gtx1080 Ti and upgrade your old rig (still using your 3770k rig?)
Thanks for the headsup. I see that they're expected to be reviewed early next month. I guess I'll wait until then before deciding.
Yea, I'm still on my previous rig, a 3570k though

What about these:

COOLER: CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100I PRO RGB RM 439.00
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F GAMING RM 867.00 (Can opt for Z390)
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RM 889.00
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1080 TI GAMING OC 11GB GDDR5X RM 3,299.00
SSD: SAMSUNG 250GB 860 EVO M.2 RM 378.00
HDD: SEAGATE 3.5' BARRACUDA 1TB RM 185.00
PSU: SUPER FLOWER 650W LEADEX II 80+ GOLD RM 415.00

MONITOR: ACER PREDATOR 34' X34P CURVED IPS RM 3,899.00
TOTAL: RM12,600 (E Tech PC prices)
Thank you for the suggested specs. May I ask what are the main advantages of the ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F ? I forgot to mention that I have a dedicated sound card (Asus Xonar Essence STX) that I will be transferring over. Seeing that this mobo has a soundcard as well, would it be compatible?

Cerv U can also get the monitor from shopee/lazada. Can get around 300 cheaper

Yes, i'll do that. After further research, i'm now thinking of going for the Alienware AW3418D instead. Around 1k more on Shopee, but seems worth it for the build and specs.
