Hello Community,
I’m new to PC building and would like to get advice about building my own one.
Approximate Purchase Date: Around 31 July, as parts will be delivered to my college on approx 10 August
Budget Range: SGD 600-730, not including monitor, keyboard/mouse and OS. As I stay in Singapore, parts from US are 36% more expensive for me. So a budget of US$569 = SG$773 because of the exchange
System Usage from Most to Least Important rate.
: Gaming, Movies, Surfing the Internet
Are you buying a monitor: Maybe, I have a Samsung Smart TV (unused, not sure of the model name and measurements and can’t open it yet) at home but I’m unsure if it has HDMI ports to plug my cable into the PC.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows 10 Home
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon
Location: Singapore, in a hostel with my roommate
Parts Preferences: I would like a GTX 1050 Ti/1060, a Ryzen CPU and a microATX Tower case.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: PC needs to be relatively quiet and small enough to occupy my work desk in my hostel room.
I would like my PC to be able to play current and future games smoothly for at least 5 years before I upgrade the CPU/PSU/GPU, if needed. I don’t need to run games at 1440p, Ultra settings and 60+ FPS.
I am also waiting for the release of Ryzen 3 1st Gen. If I can run my games with Ryzen 3 instead of Ryzen 5, I can spend at least SGD 50 less on my PC. However, the Ryzen 5 1500X is very promising as a middle-of-the-road, value-for-money processor.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current multimedia laptop is unable to run most current games well, and I really want to play future games without a hitch, especially Monster Hunter: World.
This is what I plan to buy. Of course, it's subject to changes.

Total estimated price: USD 600 = SGD 816
I am considering buying my CPU, GPU, Mobo and PSU in my country's tech shops, but I'm concerned about the inflated prices there. Should I opt for websites or local retailers?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
