Does this budget include peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, headset/speakers and monitor?

Also any aesthetic preferences?

White and black theme, great-looking case. Still room to spare for peripherals, anything that  costs more in Singapore, or upgrades.

 

This is overkill for 1080p, good for 1440p60, and ok for 1080p 144Hz 

Possible upgrades based on use case:

1440p 144hz  --> GTX 1080 & 6700K

4K --> GTX 1080 & 6700K

Professional usage (rendering, etc) --> 6700K

Here's another setup based on a Singapore shop/website that currently totals up to a subtotal of 2,196 Singapore dollars and an estimated 2,206 Singapore dollars when you add delivery (this may change best on where you live and there are other options)

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 Processor (6M Cache, 3.30 GHz)  ($325)

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9B  ($99)

Motherboard: Asus Z170-P D3  ($239)

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit - Black  ($165)

Storage: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB  ($159)

Storage: WD Se 3.5" 1TB 128MB Cache, 7200RPM  ($138)

Video Card: Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Super JetStream  ($688)

Case: SilverStone Precision Series PS08  ($59)

Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Gold 750W 80 Plus Gold, Full Modular  ($165)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 OEM  ($159)

 

Like the last post, this assumes no aesthetic preferences and that peripherals aren't included in the budget.

**update** The reasoning for the WD Se drive was that the 1tb blue drive while cheaper, would increase the delivery cost therefore being more expensive.
