Yes. I am building it from scratch. Need a monitor/ keyboard/ mouse etc. My rig budget itself is 1.2k. And the accessories wise will be additional 500.

Accessories I doubt need $500 if you are talking about Monitor 24" or so 1080P + Keyboard + Mouse.

Rather you up your rig budget to $1300-1400 if possible. Much more performance to squeeze out. $1200 budget a bit hard to get it run AAA games like Witcher 3.

totally possible to get $1200 to run AAA games. a gtx 1060 with hairworks off will do the trick.

The budget so squeezy you need to down the graphic for sure in order to play AAA titles. You won't be able to get gtx 1070 as well. If you shoot up your budget to 1.5k while accessories at 200 bucks will do. You don't need power expensive gear to play games.

That is 1.5k cpu 200 for screen, speakers, keyboard and mouse.

I see. I could do that. I was sparing additional cash aside for my accessories haha

I am still thinking between 1060 6gb or go with a 1070

Depends on your budget. Nobody can really tell u what to do. If u want to enjoy gaming for the next couple of years, a 1060 will do. But for future proofing wise, a 1070 is better.

The reason why people say 1070 and they have it is because of the recent promo that made 1070s cheaper than 1060s. U just missed the promo.

But if I am u, squeeze a 1070 in. Compromise on the psu, casing, mobo. Because the 1070 is worth it. Don't be stingy on cpu.

Ok much thanks. I am pretty much keen on going with 1070. This is a pretty standard build my friend came up for me. Should i use i5-6500 or 6600k? And is there anything else i should change? I have yet to decide on my case too. Will probably decide it after choosing my parts.

i5-6500 with b150
8gb ram
Gtx 1070
450w PSU
240gb ssd
1tb hdd

A 6500 will do for gaming. Have u decided what u need your mobo to do? If u need Wi-Fi, get the b150 pro gaming wifi mobo from Asus. Otherwise, go for the cheapest h110.

I still need to know what's your final budget. 1200, a 1060 rig can be easily made. 1500 will be a 1070 rig.

i5 6500 + msi pro gaming wifi (itx) @ $461
zotac gtx 1070 mini @ $579 (lazada)
FSP aurum S 80+ gold @ $99 (lazada)
8gb value ram @ $71
f3 tecware @ $45 (qoo10 @ tech deals)

all this stands @ 1255 without the ssd and hdd which i think u can get easily to hit 1500 (I am pretty lazy to do this). thing is, now with not much promotions going on (black friday is over, no good coupons to use), I can't really stretch that dollar to get more out of everything.

ram and mobo+cpu i get from pcthemes. if only u were a couple of weeks earlier...
don't take it as a final quote, use this as a guide on what prices to expect per component. i am sure there's more room to stretching the dollar.

What's a good h110 board? ��

the cheapest one that u can buy. frankly, i dun even understand why people want something more than a h110 other than oc (z mobos), more pcie slots, m.2 support (the asus h110-A/m.2 https://www.asus.com/sg/Motherboards/H110M-A-M-2/ has that), more sata ports and maybe usb 3.1 ports. the casual user doesn't even need those, in fact u won't even use all of your mobo's functions.

i recommend anyone building a new rig to look at this list https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Z170-H170-H110-B170-Q150-Q170---What-is-the-Difference-635/to compare. buy things that u need, not things that u think u will use in the future unless u are absolutely sure.
