I am building a new Gaming pc. I am from singapore and the prices here are quite high compared to places like the US. Currently looking a getting a I-5 6600k or a i-7 6700k for the CPU with gigabyte z170m D3h. A zotac 1060 3gb and for storage looking at 240/250/256 SSD and 1tb HDD and a 16gb ram. Not sure what power supply and case to get.

Please do advice on what I can do. Thanks

I would reccomend the core i5.
the i7 is considerably more expensive and the i5 gives you great performance overclocked.
for the GPU I would prefer the 6gb version of the gtx 1060.
the storage is OK, but if you just want the ssd for the OS, a 120gb SSD is more than enough.
for the ram, if you only want to game on the pc, 8gb will be fine.
this components can be powered by a 500W PSU, buy one with at least bronze certification (I'd reccomend the evga)

now for the case is more of a personal choice, if you want a cheap case with a windows. I like the nzxt s340, or check the phanteks.
this are mid tower cases.

Get EVGA G2 or Super Flower Leadex Gold or Corsair RMX.
Those three are my favourite since never had or heard of any issues with them.

Definetly get an i5 if you plan only gaming... When streaming comes to question, then you would see benefits from i7, but since I think you will only be gaming, there is no need to go out there and throw money on something you don't need. And definetly as everyone said, get the 6gb 1060... 3GB is just a stupid card that really should not exist.

If you want a decent case, get the Define S, but that is just my favourite. It is not just for watercooling, like most of people will say to you. Since it doesn't have HDD cages or optical bays there is less restriction to airflow from the front and you can benefit from it greatly if you add more fans. If you want to spend a little more on a case and have everything in it(ODD for example) my other recommendation is Phanteks Enthoo Pro. That case is so well built that it puts to shame more expensive cases with flimsy plastic and bad internal decisions.
