You will only see come difference in real life when using some software like maya with performance ram vs value ram. Most of the case, capacity of ram is more likely to affect the speed together with processor.

Dual channel depending on motherboard, while most mobo nowadays support dual channel memory so no worry.

RM799 is the reference card, While other brands with RM1200 most likely are custom design/layout with same nvidia chip gtx760 but pre-OC.

Try

CORE I3 3220 RM354
ASROCK B75M-DGS RM199
Kingston 4gb ram RM104
Seagate 750gb RM159
Sapphire 7750 1gb ddr5 RM299
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Any Casing RM150
Dell S2240L led ips 21.5" Monitor RM489

Total RM1903.

In that case u will need to lower the spec to fit your budget:

Intel G2010 RM159
MSI H61M-P31 RM155
Kingston 4gb ram RM104
Seagate 500gb RM159
Sapphire 7750 RM299
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Total RM1025

Try
Intel Xeon E3 1230v2 RM779
MSI B75MA-P45 RM229
G-Skill Value ram 4gb x2 RM219
Crucial M500 120GB SSD RM359
Seagate 1TB RM199
Leadtek GTX650 ti Boost 2gb or Sapphire 7850 2gb RM599
SuperFlower Golden Green HX500W RM249 (from GBros or other dealers from CyntrixTech)
Dell 23" monitor S2340L led ips RM559
CM N200 Casing RM179

Total RM3371

*"NEVER SETTLE FOREVER" only applicable to new series of AMD cards iinm. For never settle bundle, u need to ask from sellers.
No opnion yet, since the cards not even released, no benchmarks or comparisons too. If u need a PC immediately for working, I will say buy the lower end GPU first and see how's the performance from new series of AMD then decide the upgrade options when u get more budget.

**There's no fact that AMD build is always cost efficient than Intel. The fact for now is: Intel is leading.

***Performance ram doesnt help much or show much different/improvements even in benchmarks. Stick with value rams to save your wallet.

The spec looks decent for your usage. For power supply, try consider FSP Hexa 500W RM149.
Not sure what's the ATX casing u are getting, the total cost i calculated is approximately RM1060(FSP Hexa 500W included) without casing.

Yup, the price is quite acceptable. In Kuching Sarawak the price is around RM285~300 for window/normal version.

300R do have both with mesh and window version. Window version usually RM10 or 20 expensive than mesh one.
Window version do have more flex than mesh one due to the big acrylic window.

Either one of them are good imo.
cable management for both cases are ok, in the end still depend on how user manage themselves most of the time.
no ppl suggest doesn't mean it is bad, just casings are so many type of design. so different ppl sure have different preference in design.

Personally much toward simple design casings, such as Silverstone PS07, Arc Midi/Mini R2, 300R, etc.

I can tell it is impossible to build an itx rig with only RM500 of budget.
Good luck if u can find anything cheap components.

Try

Intel duo core G2020 RM174
MSI H61M-P31 RM155
Kingston 4gb ram RM109
Seagate 500gb HDD RM159
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
XIGMATEK HELIOS 231/ 232 Casing RM109

Total RM855

*Due to budget constraint, its really hard to minimalize your rig if u plan to go for itx build.

The casing is mATX size, slightly smaller than mid tower.
Casing price is different from a lot of aspects like expand features, mobility, build quality, size etc.
Yes u can add GPU on the motherboard in future as long as your power supply can support.

HDD with sata3 labeled is marketing gimmick. HDD still runs on 3gb/s speed even though u connect it to sata3 port.
For mobo that support sata3 6gb/s interface, maybe ASROCK B75M-DGS RM199 or MSI B75MA-P45 RM229.

I have see some unboxings and reviews about mATX prodigy. Its cable management kinda bad although it can fit many things.
Which in the end kinda leads me toward TJ08 if i plan to go SFF build .

Intel i5 4430 RM564
ASROCK B85M-HD5 RM249
Kingston 4gb ram RM109
Total RM922

I would suggest upgrade to Intel i3, better processor will help your photoshop a little.
128gb should be enough for essential programs, video/other files stored at 1TB HDD .

Yes, Sapphire only offer 2 years.
So far Sapphire still a reputable brand as AMD cards manufacturer for quite a long time.
No ones can say how long it would last, longer warranty time doesn;t mean product will last longer actually.
Sometimes a product gives 5 yrs warranty, but it keep on failing and u need to repeat the procedure of claiming will be much tiring lol.

Yup, it should be able to run it since your PSU can provide 500W true power.
Here's the power consumption chart of the card:

Yup, they work well without problem.

Try

Intel i3 3220 RM354
Asrock B75M-DGS RM199
Kingston 4gb ram RM109
Seagate 500gb HDD RM159
Sapphire 7750 1gb ddr5 RM299
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Any Casing RM150
Viewsonic 23" monitor VX2336S led ips RM479
Logitech G100s Keyboard RM119

Total RM2017

*pirce taken from viewnet/c-zone.

You may downgrade the monitor to 21.5" one, but probably be TN panel with around still RM400 price tag.
Spec listed is enough to handle max graphic setting at 1080p. More answers as posted above ady.
