plan your budget on the most important parts first like CPU, gfx card, RAM, PSU and ssd these are the parts that will affect performance.

GTX 1080 is still going to be too expensive for me, even if i go for the cheaper brands(which i don't mind at all). I don't care at all for aesthetics, only for the performance of the computer.

Guess that you have to look out for Q10 sale. I managed to slash 200 plus off GTX1080 when I build my rig and run with my 144hz monitor and max setting.

Bite the bullet a little and go for the best GFX. Afterall, this is what you will be looking at.

After shop discount a little bit, and the windows 10 which is cheaper, and using Shopback for lazada for 1.5% rebate. About a little lesser than 2.3k. I don't know where I can skimp on anymore.

Code: CITIWONDER (sat to mon)
using CITIBANK cc, first 400 customer will have 8% discount, capped at $15.

Code: DBSFIESTA (fri)
using dbs or posb cc, first 700 customer will have 8% discount, capped at $15.

All buy separately when it is about to hit 200 bucks to get maximum discount.

My bad. I've checked. The monitor is not 144 Hz. Zzz lazada title misleading.

Sorry.

Update:

CASE: Tecware Edge ($69)
MOBO+CPU: MSI Z270 SLI PLUS + i5-7600K ($596)
CPU COOLER: Cryorig H7 ($65)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666MHz 2x8GB kit ($184 after $15 off via Lazada)
PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 750W ($164.70 after 8% off via Lazada)
SSD: PNY CS1311 240GB ($109)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB ($72)
GPU: Palit dual GTX 1070 ($524 after $15 off via Lazada)
OS: Windows 10 OEM (<$30 from Carousell)
WIFI: ASUS PCE N15 ($59)

TOTAL: $1876

My suggestion is not to take 144hz monitor. You can do a quick search at lazada and qoo10. One can easily fetch 500 bucks.

The remaining budget you find a decent 60hz 1080p monitor which you're happy with.

get a 27" IPS 1080p 60hz monitor is awesome too, and the color will blow away all those 144hz TN monitors.

Drop the cpu to non-K and mobo to B250 and one can get a better case and maybe 500gb ssd.

Dude, your budget for other stuff is so jacked and you go for gtx 1060? How is that justifiable? Lmao.

i7 if got budget, i5 if budget is limited. Samsung ssd is expensive.

Ocz TR150 or pny cs1311 is more than adequate.

Get a GTX 1070 at least. Whichever model is fine as long as the appearance and budget is okay for you.

Consider according to your budget, start with gpu, then cpu and finally the ssd.
