From what I heard, I need graphic card at least GT 670 and above. 630 suffice already?

Adobe only recommends 512mb of GPU..you can go for GTX650 since you've got much budget..

Intel Pentium G2020
Kingston DDR3 2GB x 2
WD Green 2TB HDD
Jonsbo V2 with 300W PSU

For the rig above which mobo better?
Sapphire Pure H61 or MSI B75IA-E33

This rig is for watch HD movie (720p or 1080i) and downloading.

Or If I want to change the CPU and Mobo to AMD build, any suggestion for CPU and Mobo?

Just stick for the intel's setup..already good.

I didn't know that we have Sapphire mobos in Malaysia

Between the two, I'd vote for MSI B75IA-E33

sale at lowyat c-zone

guys, I've been looking at mobo asrock B85M Pro4 and B85M-HDS, I see the fan connector in B85M-HDS is only 1 for chasis fan. let's say I end up buying B85M-HDS as my mobo and my chasis come with 2 fan. how do I make the 2nd fan spins? sorry, I'm still new in rig building

Buy a fan adapter :

oohh. I just read, what I understand, we connect it directly to the molex connector at the psu right?

Yup

Hi all sifus. Am a first timer here in building a personal desktop. Greatly appreciate all your recommendations in advance! Sorry for my silly question, but I'd like to know after receiving your recommendations, should I actually head out to get each item individually and build it myself, or is it a norm to request for quotation from a local store and get them to build it for me?

[Budget] RM2500

[Purpose] Home use, love multitasking while playing FB games, watch HD movies, minor photo and video editing, will want to leave it on for long hours for torrent downloading

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig] Only speakers, will need to purchase everything else including monitor, keyboard and mouse

[Monitor resolution] Good enough to watch 1080p HD movies

[Game or software that use frequently] FB games e.g. Zuma, Adobe Photoshop, Windows Movie Maker, and many Office files that will be opened at the same time

[Personal preference brand] None

[Location] Penang

Once again, thank you extremely much!
