1.8k budget help

[PolyInHelp]

Hi friends. I have a budget of 1.8k to build a new gaming desktop and I would require your kind help to assist me in recommending me a best bang for bucks.

This would be the final build that I will be getting.

i5 6600 + MSI B150A Gaming Pro
Kingston Value RAM 2x8GB
Corsair CX 650W (maybe 550w?)
Palit GTX 1070 SUper Jetstream 8GB
Tecware F3
Crucial MX300 750GB
WD Blue 1TB
BenQ XL2430T 24"

To final double check, would all this part work? Any bottleneck issue? And would it works wonder? My budget got increased to roughly 2k. That's why I got the 144Hz monitor.

If you don't intend to upgrade display to more than 1440p 60hz, then 1070 will do.

Anyway your budget is meant for gtx 1070 at max since 1.8k includes peripheral and monitor.

Suggest 1.5k for rig, 300 for monitor and peripherals.

Need WiFi?

Is aesthetic important?

I know there's no perfect desktop? I would prefer an nice LED and case needs to have good ventilation. I do have a wifi dongle and not an issue. atx would be good

OS from Reddit if you're ok. Save more, use the money for actual hardware.

Haha understand! Come to think about it the led lights is not require liao. Minus off that, is there any think can be improve on? In terms of hardware?

 

[singupingu]

If you don't want LEDs, Palit dual is $529 at lazada. Another $126 can spend on better psu or a case you fancy. I remember seeing people reselling those VP/Gamepro zotac mini gtx 1070 at $500.

Their coolers not as good as super jetstream though.

 

[PolyInHelp]

In terms of performance? Are they the same? Haha why the big jump of price sia

Steelseries Rival 100, OEM pack. $29 from Qoo10 Videopro. Use coupons to bring price down further.

 

[PolyInHelp]

Thanks for the deals! I will be getting the rig asap. Technically every hardware parts would work right?

 

[xiaozozo]

buy from PCT, parts will vary due to availability. the shop assistant will advise further. you can get them to build the pc for you, so no trouble for you at all.

current specs, they will work together.

 

[PolyInHelp]

Would the below specs be needing a 3rd party cooler? Or stock fan would be sufficient?

i5 6600 + MSI H110M PRO VHL
Kingston Value RAM 2x8GB
Corsair CX 650W
Palit GTX 1070 SUper Jetstream 8GB
Tecware F3
Crucial MX300 750GB

No need. But Tecware F3 has a side window, so a 3rd party cooler will look cool

 

[zenniz]

For power supply, i would rather get SF LEADEX 550W 80+ silver Fully modular. Same price.

 

[PolyInHelp]

Thanks! Any parts I can do a downgrade? To fit in the 3rd party cooler? Any recommendation? Would the 550w power up the gpu ah? Is it sufficient?
