Can get Jonsbo UMX1+ Window case

MB: MSI H110I PRO AC, cheap with wifi

CPU Pentium G4560 might be sufficient for your needs.

More importantly, what's your budget????

Budget is 500+

Your expectations dun match ur budget. Either lower your expectations or increase ur budget.

And that case is nt available in SG.

500 how to i5? Lol

Wait for Ryzen ba. Coming out soon. Price might get competitive so just wait a bit.

500 i5 possible. Only previous gen i5 preowned lor, but a graphics card to fit your uses then see your own luck at finding the right preowned deal.

Budget wise if 500$ ain't nuff I can top up...

Rightfully, yes it needed to be flashed. Do ask the shop see if they can help you flash. No guarantee can or not though. Even if they do it, it's out of good will.

If cannot, then head down to the distro and they can do it for you.

However, there are some people who reported that theirs are not flashed and able to use kaby out of the box. Perhaps it's new batch and MSI flashed it, I can't be sure.

Alternatively:
1. look for a 270 chipset motherboard instead. This one confirm can put in Kaby Lake. However, a 270 chipset mobo will probably inflate ur budget by ~$100

2. Pay assembly fee get the shop to assemble for u. They assemble they must to the necessary flashing if required
