You can get MSI h110 pro AC(build in with a BT and wifi chip)

As for your monitor are looking for those very good for gaming or a very normal one?

buy everything at tradepac:

MSI H110i PRO AC + i5 6500 @392
Kingston Ram DDR4 8GB @44
Suuperflower Ledex 550W 80+ sliver @ 119 (PCthemes)
Transcend SSD370 512GB @237
Corsair Air 240 @145 (PCThemes)
GTX 1070 FE@768
Asus VG248QE @509+6

Total: 2220

All prices are qoute from Tradepac otherwise stated.
for Qoo10 if u have coupons will greatly reduce the price, but may u might want to wait for next coupons giveaway.
Lastly, its over your budget.
maybe u have to give up on the gpu and monitor and downgrade a bit.

BenQ XL2411Z vs asus vg248qe, both on par IMO
Benq is 468 at pc themes
Both are 144hz monitors

Damn really? Well I saw mostly saying its the most budget one.

Completely forgot to state that the asus has built in speakers, the benq one DOES NOT HAVE SPEAKERS
So if it's a requirement then go with asus I guess
Read some reviews (cause I might be getting one in nov/dec with new pc, nothing finalised though) and more people prefer the benq one too, cause of the anti flickering

1) will staff fix for you?
Don't think so unless you request, some shops build the whole thing at a small cost (I think $10? Idk, never been there)

2) how much more? I think mb with integrated wifi a bit hard to find

If you buy from them, some are willing to install for you. Although when I bought mine, the staff say cannot install cpu for me cause I no cpu cooler :s22:

MSI motherboard is fine, as long as it meets your needs.
