Intel Core i5 7500 - RM 888
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - RM 419
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 275
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 AMP! Edition+ - RM 1379 (With improved 9Gbps memory)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 474
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 359
TP-LINK TL-WN722N USB WiFi - RM 45
Tecware Edge - RM 149

Total: RM 4207 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Not sure about Windows 10 price, you can try to search in Garage Sales for cheap key (beware of counterfeit key though) or get it from retail shop.

You may downgrade to GTX1050Ti 4GB/GTX1060 3GB/RX470 4GB to save cost since your monitor resolution is just 900p.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I have decided to get the SSD first, because I got a code for Windows 10 early. Is it alright if I use my laptop to first install Windows 10 on the SSD, then later move it to the new system once I get all the parts?
