Hello,





I would like to build a mid-range gaming PC.



This is what I have as a first draft:

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated. Especially ways to reduce the price without compromising too much performance

Get a B360 motherboard instead of a Z370 unless you're upgrading to the unlocked CPUs down the road.

If you're on a budget, choose a cheaper casing and put that money into a GTX 1060 3GB.

GTX 1050Ti can give you 1080p low setting on most AAA games...

Spend less on cpu and motherboard and casing. Motherboard dont really make a difference. Buff your GPU. CPU i-3 should be enough and i usually go for the cheapest mobo that can support that cpu and ram

What you have chosen looks good. Do keep in mind that your Mobo only supports up to 2,666mhz for ram speed. Thus you might want to relook at your rams to save a few more bucks.

Also, if you don’t mind I suggest getting windows license keys from Shopee. It’s only like RM5 and they work well. You could save heaps there and perhaps get a dual fan 1060 6gb for better cooling performance.

Will do thanks
