Hi everyone i am currently looking to build a SFF build somewhere around next week. can u guys check my list to see if i am missing anything or improvement in any area?

purpose is for gaming @ 1080p obviously.
no monitor/kb/Mouse/OS.
budget is around ~1200-1300 region.



Casing Node fractal design node 202 , 129
Cpu + mobo msi b250 pro AC & i5 7500 464
cpu cooler cm geminII m4 55
ram 8gb ~ 99
hdd WD 2tb blue 99
ssd sandisk ssd 240 118

Singapore's node 202 does not comes with psu. Also, node 202 has no space for 3.5 HDD.

Get fractal core 500. Bigger a bit but allows you to install 3.5hdd and aio cooling.

Here we go again :)

CASE: Fractal Design Node 202 ($129)
MOBO+CPU: MSI H110i Pro AC + i5-7500 ($430)
COOLER: use stock fan
RAM: Kingston Valueram DDR4 2133MHz 8GB ($85)
PSU: Silverstone SFX 450W Bronze ($109)
SSD: PNY or OCZ 240GB ($119)
HDD: WD BLUE 1TB 2.5" ($91)
GPU: Palit Dual GTX 1060 6GDR5 ($389 via lazada before discount)
Addon: 2x 120mm fans for gpu compartment for better cooling and airflow (~$20 depending what kind of fan you getting, search around carousell)

TOTAL: $1372

Prices quoted from PC theme or otherwise stated.

Now is not a great time to buy gpu. So hold out on that first. Wait for qoo10 have better coupons maybe, then get a zotac twin fan gtx 1060 6gb for about $350 coz Palit dual is a tad louder during load.

Use stock fan for cpu cooler. Upgrade in future to a cryorig c7 for quieter operation and lower temp. Same as the ram, upgrade in future by adding another stick if 8gb became not enough.
