Hello all sifus, I am a total newbie in building rigs but I am planning to build one in the near future. I'm still not too sure on the compatibility and how good it is, so any sifus could highlight a thing or 2 for me to improve or could reduce the cost is highly appreciated.

Motherboard: MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Processor: Intel i7-7700K
GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB PC4 3000Mhz (8GBx2)
Storage: Samsung 960 EVO M.2 500GB
Cooling: Corsair Hydro 100i v2
Power Supply: Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500W
Case: Cougar Gaming Panzer Max

This rig will mainly be use for gaming (Crysis, Battlefield 1, FIFA and others) and some video editing and would like to be able to do so in the highest resolution. I haven't decided on any type of monitor yet, but I'm not planning on buying a 4k LCD. For the time being, I'm also not planning to overclock it or playing with the SLi.

If anyone can suggest how to lower the budget but is still able to do the functions that I wanted is highly appreciated. Right now this rig would more or less costs around RM8.5k, I am trying to keep it below RM8k (RM7k if possible) but don't have any idea how I should change it right now. THANKS!

I see, which power supply do you think is most appropriate for this build? And can please share how I can lower the cost? Cause aesthetics and branding is not my concern, I am simply choosing these based on the reviews that I got online. So any kind of help is highly appreciated.

Wow thanks for the suggestion! But I have to ask though, is there any significant difference between the mini and Amp! version of the GPU? I do know that 1080 is the newer version comparing it to the 1070 though.

So in this case the 1070 have a bigger heatsink compared with the 1080 right?
