Advice on my rig

[ahhjiee]

This is my first time building my own rig after days of research. Please advice me if there's any compatibility issue, whether there are tweaks to be made or wherever i can trim off some of the pricing. Still waiting out on BF and CM deals. Most probably going to reuse my existing PSU.

I'm a casual gamer just looking to make the computer optimised for 1080p gaming. Thanks.

CPU: i5 6500 $250 (AMAZON)
MOBO: MSI H110M PRO-VD $59 (AMAZON)
GPU: ZOTAC MINI 1060 6GB $312 (AMAZON)
RAM: ANY CHEAPEST 2X4GB ~$70 (LOCAL)
HDD: WD 1 TB $68 (LOCAL)
SSD: is it necessary now? or can i put on hold first for future upgrade? (Budget limitations)
NETWORK: TP AC 1300 ~$50 (LOCAL)
CASE: FRACTAL DESIGN NANO S $108 (LOCAL) <- open to suggestions looking to trim off the price from here

Total: $917

Am I missing out on anything? And with a $917 price tag am i getting my money worth or can i get something better?

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.

I have considered H110i PRO AC but it does not ship to Singapore. Local bundle is 394. $30 more than buying a seperate network adapter
Does buying from local include warranty? Sorry I'm noob at this.
WD 1 TB Blue $68 from tradepac.

Got warranty bah... WD can claim, just google change region on your WD.
Seagate also same. Just register normally at Seagate site.

Motherboard EVGA got international warranty. MSI/Asus can claim US Warranty thru EZBuy forwarder - Means will cos money for shipping.

Unless those cut throats at SLS bring down their prices, Buy Online FTW!

no. only evga brand can get warranty.

local can get zotac or palit for local warranty.

Technically speaking, all gpu purchased from overseas have warranty. just that EVGA allows u to send back to taiwan for RMA whereas the rest of the brands need to send back to USA which is more expensive.

Ts if you buy cpu and mobo from amazon delivery how Long?

yes that is right. but the fees for shipping back and waiting time...can consider just give up already on warranty
