Hi all, been doing some reading and researching here and there, and came up with the below parts selection for my new mid range gaming rig.

My guidelines for selection are:
- not going to OC or SLI
- Will prefer most bang for buck component if possible
- my first time DIY-ing, best be noob friendly

1) MSI B150M bazooka plus mb + i5 6500
(saw quite a few posts reco this. The most worth place to buy from is SLS?)
2) 16GB RAM
(will one stick of 16GB valueram be better? or should i find dual rams, 2x8GB? Cheapest to buy from SLS?)
3) Graphics card - Already bought Zotac GTX 1070 AMP Ed.
4) PSU - Looking at 550W PSU.
(any brand and model to reco now? Best to buy from lazada?)
5) SSD - already have a samsung Evo 750, 240gb.
6) Case - Coolermaster N200
(saw his been reco in some posts, do this case have any noob unfriendly features that i should take note of? best to buy from lazada too?)

7) Monitor - looking at 27inch, 1440p. Min 60hz, budget around $500.
(saw a few posts, looking at Qnix, crossover, dell. which model will u reco?)

Hope i can get some input and suggestions. Basically i am more undecided where to buy from and the brand/models i should choose.

2) find dual in case u need to troubleshoot. where to buy beside do some own research ;)

4) if u have the budget can get SF Ledex 550W gold.

6) dun think so. unless u have nv build a pc b4...den i would say read the guide to find out more.

7) depends on u. but my take is dell (den again u have to hope for discount to get it below 500.) qnix and crossover really depends on luck most of the time. (since they are abit bad stuff but good pricing.)

I would say u do abit more in researching what u want. and look at online and SLS shop where offers better.
