Just get the cheaper motherboard (770T-C45) and graphic card (Powercolor HD4850). Can cut another RM20!!!

Then you'll have to use DDR2 RAM, which is cheaper as well. Not bad...

Get the E6300 at RM250 instead. It is over RM100 cheaper than the E7400 and only has a 0.08 clock speed difference and a smaller 2MB cache. Apart from that they are basically the same processor.

For the GPU, any HD4850 will do. If you aren't looking to XFire, any G41 or P43 mobo will do. Just pick the cheapest as the LGA775 platform is a dying one. I'd recommend Gigabyte's G41M-ES2L.

Do you really need a SSD?

By the way, a chunk of LGA755 chipsets only support DDR2 RAM.

A good PSU choice will be the Silverstone Strider ST400 at RM185 or the Vantec ION2 460W at RM145.

No. There aren't any glaring differences that set those two apart.
