Sorry for the trouble. I draft him a buid but it burst the budget. Mini-its will do. He does not need wifi.

show us the build. we can work from there.

i5 6500 + msi h110i pro ac @ 453 (422)
palit 3gb gtx 1060 @ $305 (lazada)
fsp aurum gold 550w @ $99
crucial 8gb 2133mhz value ram @ $71
windows from reddit @ $30
transcend 240gb ssd @ $99 (qoo10)

not good at casings so won't be able to advise u much on that. i prefer something cheap can already.

the total without casing is around 1026. if ur friend doesn't care too much about graphic quality and wants to maximize frame rate, consider a 1080p @ 144hz monitor with the qnix qx2414 @ 287.50 (qoo10) or the zowie xl2411 @ 400+.

like all builds, there's potential to min max every component. it's how u want to do it. but this is a rough gauge for u to proceed. there are some coupons and vouchers for u to utilise but i am too lazy to calculate the total cost.

and yes, some people will tell u to get that gtx 1070. i agree that it's a much superior card but the pricing now is just horrendous.

edit: just realised i centred it around 1060 for this build. if so, cut the budget further and get this psu instead http://www.lazada.sg/fsp-hexa-450w-80-10115703.html

some mini-itx cases also have the capacity to fit in atx psu. without getting a sff psu, it could save u a few more bucks. the fractal design core 500 itx casing can fit it in http://www.lazada.sg/fractal-design-core-500-itx-casing-2163335.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=sem_non_brand&utm_campaign=669965911&utm_content=FR370ELBUD8NSGAMZ-2259230&utm_term=36078506313_aud-127990545401:pla-261398162399_c&adjust_tracker=t2v78t_5n20iw&adjust_campaign=669965911&adjust_adgroup=36078506313&adjust_creative=_&adjust_label=%7B%22ClientID%22%3A%22441-004-5453%22%7D&gclid=CNnU8NmE3dACFRWVaAodXA4EFw.

Hmmm...

i5-6500 + MSI H110i Pro AC (ITX) @422
1x8GB Crucial DDR4-2133 @62
Transcend SSD370S 256GB @129 (Lazada)
Zotac GTX1060 Single Fan 3GB @299
Fractal Node 202 @129 (IMO looks awesome)
FSP 450W SFX Bronze @99

Add the Windows from reddit and the Qnix monitor mianbaofen suggested and you should be good to go

Unless he needs more space then can get him a 2.5inch Toshiba 500GB HDD @ 62

everything increased tremendously. now gpu no longer good to get 1070. some people still push to get 1070s when the price is not at the bargain of 300+ to 400+. really.. :s22::s22::s22:

Some still ok

And as far as I remember 1070 is cheap cause you can stack coupon like no tmr otherwise prices not much different from what I remember

the idea is coupon stacking. now dun have those coupons. the cheapest 1070 u can find will still in the 500s. that's a $200ish upgrade, possibly hitting $300. at the price, it's not really a bargain, more of a want.
