Need help with Budget PC Build

[reinerng]

Hi all, First time building a PC from scratch. Would be nice to get some advice from you guys cause Im a total newbie here.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/GRFHWX

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MOBO:MSI B150M BAZOOKA Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SC GAMING Video Card
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Are there any way which I can build or change parts so that I can make this under a thousand?

Please advise if there are any of the parts here which cannot be found in sg, or if there are better bang for bucks parts which I should instead opt for.

Primarily using this for causal gaming like CS:GO and photoshop. Also using for academic research on the sideline.

Can this build support a dual display? as I am intending to use a dual monitor for this.

Super newbie question: Can connect to wifi?

Are there any disadvantage if I further downgrade the GPU to the 3gb variant instead of the 6gb Variant?

Seems like this does not have onboard Wi-Fi card. U need to get a dongle if u want Wi-Fi.

So far, I don't think the difference between 3gb and 6 is much. Only time will tell with the newer games.

edit: building all this in sg will be more than 1k sgd for sure. usd already 900+

1k as in SGD or USD? And next u really want to get all these parts? Or really just get get similar parts where local is selling?

The GPU u get can have dual monitor support.

Nope the board does not comes with wifi , so u have to purchase either a USB adapter or pcie adapter.

For the last qns, depends on the games u playing and the resolution as well, if not going to play any AAA title games still good for 1080p.

Ah cool, I'm looking at 1000 SGD actually. Tried to compared prices with the pricelist in HWZ, but it comes up to about 1.2- 1.3k SGD. I dont necessarily have to get the exact parts but it'll be good if there are suggestions as to which parts I should replace.

I dont think I play a lot of graphic demanding games, more on the photoshop part and allowing the build to be futureproof for say 3-4 years?

Thanks so much for helping!!

well im not sure u want a build in wifi or with another pce/usb wifi adapter?

photoshop wise is it quite heavy task and frequent user? or still using it a few times and once in a full moon?

I think I would opt for the one that is cheaper overall. Seen some with built in wifi and they seem pretty expensive.

I think I am a moderate user, so, perhaps a few times a week, but not to the extent of using it to make a living.

Wow, this seems like a pretty good build. Anyway just to ask some question.

Are there any significant difference with this MOBO and the MOBO which you recommended, besides the built in WiFi.
