why not post your current rig and see whether it is worth to upgrade?

Nowadays, most of the games is bottleneck by GPU.

Your build can easily do 970 plus an i5. Wait for experts to recommend.

You can download the price list here

If you don't do video processing, don't require a i7 cpu.

If you don't want overclock, skip the k cpu and z170 mobo.

ssd at least 256 gb or above is prefer.

Is the building guide updated?

Haha. Well for a 1.8k budget, the generic advice is GTX 970 reference card then work backwards from there. i5 6500 is good enough with 1 8gb single channel DDR 4 ram and a 650-750 PSU. Can't advice you on Mobo/Case but you can get plenty of recommendations from the shops. I mean, it really depends on what you want. Potential SLI? USB A/C capabilities? Micro ATX? SSD/HDD?

do you need a monitor?

 

[seaisbored]

i5 and a GTX 970 are the recommended ones.

i also would like to the NZXT case that is made by razer

NZXT case made by razer? I don't think that exists. If you mean a case that NZXT collaborated with razer to produce, then I think you mean the NZXT h440. Its a good case. A bit tight on cable management though, like most of the NZXT cases. Although the newer designs are trying to resolve this. I believe the newer one is the Noctis?

From personal experience, if you're really fast/lucky with the Qoo10 coupons, could be cheaper ordering online via Qoo10, and then store pick-up for the parts. Some of the online stores are Sim Lim stores, but you can use the Qoo10 coupons too instead of relying on bargaining.

I managed to get $300 off my $1.7k (+ monitor) rig cause of the CNY coupons and multi-accounts

PS: Plus if you assemble at their store, can still bargain for the assembling + casing.

hey guys, what's the recommendations for a budget of $1200 custom PC?
just using it to play some casual games like maple, AVA online (FPS) and watch videos

You only require $700-800 to fulfil those needs easily...

More importantly, what other parts do you need within this budget?

Since you are playing over wifi try to get a good adapter like ASUS pce ac68
