Can someone see my build

[herobrine_second]

Replacing my laptop which keeps BSOD, looking at budget of 1.2k, can be up to 1.5k also. Mainly using it to game (like GTA V, Witcher 3, Cities Skyline) and Photoshop, basic work, etc. No need to have ultra settings, just 1080p 60fps maybe on high or medium.

This is what I'm thinking of now, prices from PC Theme:

446 - Gigabyte B150M-D3H + i5 6500
509 - MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB
72 - WD 1TB Blue
159 - Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
63 - Kingston 2133Mhz CL15 8GB
129 - Phanteks Eclipse P400 ATX
103 - CM G550M 550W 80+ Bronze

Total $1481

Monitor, keyboard, mouse not needed.

As its my first time building a computer i'm not sure if I have left out anything essential.

1. Is there anywhere I can cut so that I can fit within 1.2k, other than the case? (Aesthetics are important to me so if there's a cheaper and better case it would be great.)
2. Should be going to PC Theme or Fuwell to build but is there anywhere that is recommended?

Thanks!

The MSI GTX 1060 is rather ex. You might want to consider Zotac instead.

I would also suggest you get a better PSU.

Change gpu to zotac and might be able to get a 1070.

Ssd change to zotac 240gb. That's under 100.

Are u going to assemble yourself ? If so, consider getting online from qoo10 and lazada. Got sales on 11.11 so u can consider.

Will be changing to Zotac GTX 1060, single fan or double fan matters? Not going to assemble myself as I have no experience, which PSU would you guys recommend?

I myself using fsp, some people strongly recommend super flower. But most people avoid seasonic.

I myself using 1060 mini. Get the amp for better cooling if it means to u. Tbh, your budget can fit 1070 if u assemble yourself and get parts online. But if u don't like the hassle, the 1060 is the best u can get

Seeing that I can get such a price without black friday and the 11.11 sales... I guess I can get even lower prices on those days? I think maybe I'll get the 1070 since I *might* have spare cash. Thanks for the input guys!
