Processor: Ryzen 5 2600 - RM 758
Motherboard: ASRock B350 Pro 4 - RM 390
RAM: Patriot Viper RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDDR4-3200MHz Performance RAM - RM 750
GPU - Asus Strix GTX 1060 6GB - RM 1266
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM - RM190
Casing: Segotep LUX II RGB - RM190
Power Supply: Corsair CX650M Semi Modular PSU - RM 310

Total RM 3845

Usage : office work, game such as upcoming monster hunter world

My question is, I need suggestions on which area to cut corner/improve, as my initial budget is around 3500 but right now seems to be way more than my initial budget. Is 16gb RAM a must for gaming purpose these days or I can go for 8gb RAM at lower speed? Is it recommended for me to do so and add on RM 80 for TX650 PSU? Thanks

Well, performance RAM is more expensive. You can save by going regular RAM. You gonna lose a bit of performance though. Switch the graphic card to Galax at RM1199. PSU, you can go Corsair VS 450 at RM159. Prices from C-Zone.

Kindly take note power supply quality is also lower for low budget ones.

16GB ram isn't a must for gaming. 8GB is the minimum requirement so you're good to go with 8GB if you're looking to save some money. After all, you can upgrade to 16GB in the future when you have more savings and when you feel the need.

As for PSU, if you're getting 8GB only then you can consider using the 'saved' money to top up to get a gold rated PSU as higher grade PSU usually runs cooler and last longer.
