Hi guys! I'm from Singapore and really new here. I'm trying to build a new rig for my girlfriend. 1. Budget & Location
Keeping it below SGD $3,500, SGD $4,000 is kinda stretching it.
CPU: Intel i7-8700
Cooler: NZXT Kraken x52
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z370-E
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2400mhz
GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 OC
Case: NZXT H500 Black
Storage: Samsung Evo 860 1TB
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750G+ Modular
2. Aim
It's for playing higher end games like Monster Hunter World, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy XIV. Not really a productivity machine.
3. Monitors
We have a wide screen monitor right now, LG Ultrawide 32" at 60FPS. Not really looking to upgrade yet.
4. Peripherals
We just need the Windows 10 Home OS.
5. Why are you upgrading?
My girlfriend has been staring at my rig when we're playing the same games, and she's really envious of the graphics. So she's getting one too.
Do let me know if this is something you'd recommend!
EDIT: So with everyone's help I'm revising my build:
