You can get 212x off Qoo10 for like 35 w/voucher or 40 w/o voucher

I see that you are using 4k monitor. I can only inform you that 2070 super will not able to run a smooth 60 fps for quite a number of games at max settings. You will need at least 2080 ti to run smooth 60 fps at max settings.

Also, my personal choice for ssd would be 660p 2tb instead of sx8200 1tb, for the same price or sabrent rocket 1tb at a cheaper price, it is very good value for its price/performance at 1tb. If the rig is mostly gaming and not involve with any workstation stuffs like video editing stuffs, rendering etc where you write data like drinking water.

660p is using QLC NANDs while many others are using TLC. The reason why it is so affordable. Do take note.

I think seeing TS plays Dota and MMORPGs... he should have no problem reaching 60hz or close to that by tweaking some settings ba. If he’s playing AAA with ray tracing and HDR then for sure RTX 2080 TI is recommended.

Haha dun think I can afford 2080ti (way out of budget)

For gaming, 1440p or 1080 is best if you are on a budget.
