Mid range gaming pc build recommendation

[BenBen010103]

I am looking to build a pc for playing car racing games such as NFS, Dirt etc. I also play GTA as well. On the other hand will link up to dual monitor for work wise.

I am looking at Ryzen 1700, gtx 1060 6gb, 2 X 26/27" monitor, but not much clue on the rest of the stuffs like which brand/size is more value for money now in the market for rams, psu, harddisk, ssd, casing, cpu cooler(is water cooling still in the trend?), monitor. Budget is around 1.5k or lesser excluding monitors. Saw some cpu with many running led lights like very nice, the lights are from ram and fans on the case?

Looking to buy some stuffs from comex and the rest from sim lim perhaps? Any recommendation what are the items I should get from comex and balance what items to get from sim lim and which shop?

The games you play don't even need R7 1700. R5 1600 is enough liao.

Here is what I think is good enough for both you and your budget:

CHASSIS: Phanteks P400 TG $135
MOBO+CPU: Asus Prime B350-PLUS + AMD Ryzen 5 1600 $478
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz 2x8GB (AMD certified) $204
PSU: Superflower Leadex Silver 650W $129
SSD: PNY CS1311b 128GB $89
HDD: WD Blue 1TB $72
GPU: GALAX GTX 1060 6GB EXOC White $419
OS: Windows 10 Home $12 via Carousell

TOTAL: $1538
