How about this? Changed to mATX and reduced RAM, still enough to get the monitor within 5k.

CPU: INTEL CORE I5-8400 RM705.00
MOBO: ASROCK Z370M PRO 4 RM535.00
RAM: G.SKILL D4 PC2400 AEGIS 8GB RM367.00
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1060 6GB G1 GAMING RM1559.00
SSD: WESTERN DIGITAL 2.5' WD GREEN SSD RM169.00
HDD: SEAGATE 3.5' BARRACUDA 1TB SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM RM163.00
PSU: SUPERFLOWER LEADEX SILVER 550W RM299.00
CASE: TECWARE NEXUS M RM139.00

TOTAL: RM3936.00

for GPUs mentioned, i assume the higher price have better performance?
locked processors, u meant not going overclock?
the SSD prices differed quite alot, is because of the size?

I wouldnt' mind excluding monitor price from the rm4k-5k range. The price range is just my rough guessing price to get the performance that i want. Im okay to top up abit for smooth running high FPS on Dota2, CSGO, PathofExile, High settings(no need ultra) on high-end games (imo Witcher 3 maybe? God of War if it ever comes out on PC?)

Not necessarily higher price GPU = better performance. However, G1 Gaming does have a better cooling compared to Zotac.

Yes, locked processors means you can't OC them.

The WD Green SSD that @Helldana suggested is a 120GB SSD whereas the Samsung one I suggested is a 250GB thus the price difference.

If budget 4-5k excluding monitor, you could opt for a 1070Ti:

CPU: CORE I5 8400 (6C/6T) 692
MOBO: GIGABYTE B360M AORUS GAMING 3 337
RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS V SERIES (2X8GB) DDR4 2800MHZ 783
GPU: GALAX GTX 1070 TI EXOC-SNPR WHITE 8GB GDDR5 2,149
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB 367
HDD: SEAGATE BARRACUDA 1TB 170
PSU: SUPER FLOWER LEADEX SILVER 550W 301
CASE: TECWARE NEXUS TG 139

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - 848

Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 337
Zotac GTX 1070 Ti 8GB DDR5 AMP! - 2279
WD Blue 250GB M.2 - 347
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB HDD - 173
Corsair TX 650M - 429
Tecware Nexus Tempered Glass case - 179

RM4967 total (C-Zone prices)

No issues with compatibility there. Everything looks great. Though if you can splurge a bit more for a 80+ Gold PSU that'd be even better.

B360M is MATX and B360 is ATX size. Make sure your case fits ATX mobos if you're going for B360 Gaming Plus.
