Hi guys, need some recommendation to replace my 6 years desktop
[Budget] RM7k-8k

[Purpose] Gaming for latest games at max settings, and maybe able to play latest game 5 years down the road (not max settings of course)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Only Monitor maybe (U2311HD). Quite old monitor, not sure should I upgrade or not

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
New games from steam, and also maybe cities skylines, planet coaster with loads of mods

[Personal preferences]
Intel processor & nvidia gc. Price don't need include HDD, but SSD (240gb) is a must. Doubt I will OC at all

Thanks

End up I go for this

Intei Core i7 7700
Asus B150 Pro Gaming
Asus Strix GTX10180
Kingsston SSDNow M.2 240gb
Kingston D4 PC2400 Fury 16GB Ram

EVGA SuperNova 550 PSU seems not available here, any other idea what else I can get for PSU?

Case and Monitor still not yet decide. Still thinking should I use back my old Dell, or break the budget and get a 1440p monitor.

PS: Asus B150 pro gaming is a good mobo? This I might still can change.

If you are looking for same tier (tier 1) PSU that costs the same (more or less) as the EVGA unit that I've recommended to you earlier, then you can consider these:

1. Superflower Leadex Gold
2. Corsair RMx/RMi
3. Cooler Master V series (only for fully modular model)

Or "downgrade" to EVGA SuperNova GQ series (tier 2).

How much is the mobo? RM 500++? If yes then it is overpriced, B150 is last gen chipset, current gen is B250 (the successor of B150), it is not worth to pay for RM 500 for an old chipset when you can buy a new chipset at about the same cost.

Ahhh yes. The B150 is around rm550 or so. Guess I will change to others then.

Thanks for the PSU recommendation too
