The casing price eats a chunk of the budget.

How about these

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 1039
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X2 - 606
Zotac GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 mini - 1309
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB - 487
WD Blue or Seagate 1TBĀ  - 210
Super Flower Leadex Gold 550W - 429
Coolermaster Mastercase Maker 5 or 5T - 829/999

RM5354/5524 total (C-Zone prices)

Optional:
Zotac GTX 1070 8GB DDR5 Mini - 2019

I wouldn't recommend buying Intel at this time but you can switch it to these.

Core i7-7700 - 1379
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - 449

For the casing, go to the shop and pick one. Aesthetics is entirely you.

OK...another question:

is Gigabyte AB350N Gaming WIFI better/usable compared to Asus Prime B350M-A? and AMP version of the graphic card?

Hi, I need recommendation for my motherboard. Mostly will be playing games and watch movie at 1080p. Here are some parts that I have decided:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
RAM: GSKILL RipJaws5 2x8GB
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 AORUS 6GB
PSU: Xigmatek Shogun 600W
SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Case: Coolermaster Mastercase Pro 6/ Maker 5t

I need a good motherboard that can support my build, probably RM500-600 range. Slightly exceed a little is ok with me, as long can support my case, processor.

Asus B350-PLUS should be around RM500ish. That power supply is crap. Get something better like Super Flower Leadex Silver

I see...since I'm not buying the parts and building it myself, there's not much choice there. In the list that I see, there is FSP and also Cooler Master. Would it be ok? What are the recommendation if its either of these two brand?

Btw, I'm building the rig through Idealtech.

I've been searching around and found GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3. Between the two motherboard, is it the same? and does both support the 4 USB 3.0 that is in the front panel of my case?

and another thing..for the SSD, what's the difference between V-NAND and M.2?

since I'm building Ryzen rig, is G.Skill Flare X (3200mhz) worth it? or RipjawsV (2800mhz) is enough? not going to overclock but wanted the best RAM for value.

Hi, would like to get some recommendation on monitors. I have Gigabyte GTX 1060 Aorus Extreme 6GB.

My budget is around 1-1.2k. 1080p with 24/27" would be ok.
Is G-sync necessary and worth it?

Any recommendation would be helpful.
