Cut the mobo to h170 or b150. Use the extra cash to get a better PSU/gfx

Could do better IMO

CPU and mobo a little overkill, could be cheaper
RAM just get normal one, cheaper
PSU rather get Seasonic or Superflower

Here is my suggestion
i5-6500 + MSI B150M Bazooka @434
1x8GB Kingston DDR4-2133 @58
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB @139
WD Blue 1TB @77
Samsung DVD Drive @25
Sapphire R9 390 Tri-X @540
Seasonic M12-II 620W @115
Corsair 100R @85
Total 1473

Zotac gtx970 is $439 at lazada, y not topup abit get a gtx970?

 

[intrance]

Asus Z170- PRO Gaming (6600, 3.3GHz) is the price killer for your rig..
go for MSI b150M Mortar + i5-6500 @449

as other suggestion, go for better gpu

 

[monikernemo]

Zotac gtx970 is $439 at lazada, y not topup abit get a gtx970?

Agreed. Its much better than spending $419 for a low end GTX960

Because gtx 970 is 3.5 GB but 960 is satki full 4GB



Okay jokes aside, yeah go for 970.

Change the ��� PSU as well

Thanks everyone for your advice!

Was sourcing at PC Themes since Fuwell doesn't carry Zotac or Superflower PSU on their list. Seems like Superflower Gold is not in stock at PC Themes either.. But anyway, here's the new setup:

Only concern is if the m-atx board can fit my old Asus Sonar DX as well and if the PSU can support another 2 more HDDs.

650w platinum waste money. Just buy seasonic evo 620w

 

[lalalalalala]

at what point is a plat worth it? whats the sweet spot for 650w? bronze? gold?

usually gold is enough, plat maybe if u on 24/7 then can see savings

Ok lah. Platinum PSU for better efficiency. At least he knows he's getting something solid. Solid brand with solid efficiency.

Bought the superflower w650 gold think it was the last piece
