get a higher watt psu?
ryzen shd be ok if u do more the just gaming.
if kabylake chip is cheaper why not get a i5-7600 with b series mobo and some savings here. imho a locked chip with z series board is a waste there.
dun get mini 1080. too little fan too much heat. can get msi 1080 gaming x from amazon prime singapore at slightly below sgd800 check it out.
do u really need the sound card? onboard sound is very good nowadays get soundblasterx katana and a decent headphone might be the way to go.

most importantly what monitor u want to game on?
1440p ultra? or 1080p ultra?

if u are intending to game and stream pubg ryzen shd be a better choice but im on 7700k i feel its good enough no frame drops.

Stick with meshify C. Mastercase 5 need to adjust fan curve to make it optimized enough for a gtx 1080.

Sent from PM me if you wanna build a DIY PC or wanna learn how to make one yourself using GAGT

1080p ultra will be ideal. I was looking online that the intel coffee lake i7 core really outperforms ryzen 1700. hmmm.

For gaming, yes Intel i7 outperform Ryzen even on 4c8t kabylake i7. So no doubt the coffee lake will outperform more.

Ryzen 7 mainly meant for people who do thread heavy works, mainly like video production and live streaming and deep learning etc. Stick with Intel if your main aim is gaming.
