Do you plan to OC or go for SLI/CFX?

If no then, there are a few rm3k builds on the first page of the thread. Pretty good, check it out.

Probably no OC or any other advanced stuff.

oooooh, somehow it didn't occur to me to look in the first page I'll take a look
Meanwhile, I'm not in a rush to get the rig, is there anything new in a month or two that I should wait for ?

AFAIK,nothing new ATM..only Ivy's new i3 3220 will be coming..that's all..just survey pre-setup spec at the first page.There's a lot of combination option that might be suit for your needs..

ohh.. jus noticed.. gonna OC in the future gonna learn .. so have to go with i5 3570k ???

Yes, 3570K is recommended but it is priced at RM699. Regular i5 has limited overclocking headroom.

Ur choice but then u might need to get a aftermarket cooler, a 600/650w PSU for some headroom

do i need to increase my budget or cut down on other expenses ?

You will need to increase your budget. About RM250-300 more.

ok.. lets say bout 3.5-3.9 budget ... can i have a AIO water cooler ?? and get a lower end GPU ?

here

Intel i5-3570K RM699
Asus P8Z77-M RM339
CM Hyper 212 EVO RM109

3.5K can get you a good aftermarket cooler already. 3.9k can get you a good water cooler.

Bare in mind this setup has reduced monitor resolution. 20" is usually 1600x900

3.9k can get?? H100 ???

My suggestion :

Intel Core i5 3570K RM699
MSI Z77A-G43 mainboard RM389
No ram
Galaxy GTX670 OC 2GB RM1289(CEX)
Seasonic S12II 620W PSU RM299
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD RM255
Antec One Hundred case RM219(lingloong)
Lite-On 22x DVDRW RM59
Intel 330 60GB SSD RM249
Antec Kuhler H2O 620 cooler RM249(CEX)
Viewsonic VX2336S 23" monitor RM479

Total - RM3907.00

AFAIK,there's none..only H100 with 240mm rad available in malaysia..
Regarding the OC,i saw some reviews,GD65's OC Genie II can easily OC i7 3770K to 4.2GHz..more than that,it based on how lucky u can stabilize them
