So sorry the GPU is indeed supposed to be a Powercolor R9 290 PCS+ RM1549 from feiton.
Can revise the suggestion from there again? Terribly sorry

Also, I suppose a 128GB SSD for OS is enough. 500GB seems like overkill lol.
Is there a need for a K version Intel CPU if I don't intend to OC?

Change CPU to Intel Xeon E1230 V3 3.3Ghz RM779.
Are you gonna only play Dota 2 with your new rig? tongue.gif
And the 290X Tri-X doesn't cost RM1699,cause that price is 290 Tri-X's. tongue.gif
You can just get Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 RM1299,and get an SSD.. brows.gif
Samsung 840 Evo 120GB RM329 icon_idea.gif
But is 4K your budget?

Yeah, 4k but can make adjustments for up to 4.5k smile.gif

If I am you, I won't be getting 4670, for which it is RM100 pricier over the 4440. I will either stick with 4440 or top up another RM100 to get a Xeon at RM780, even better multi task/thread performance.

A B85M is also pretty fine if you plan to cut a little budget and not really utilizing the Intel SRT of H87.

Corsair/Kingston RAM should be cheaper

As for 3rd party cooler, generally if you are not OC, the Intel stock cooler is enough.

1. Switched to an i5 4440 atm. Will prolly upgrade the processor in the future should I feel the need to do that.
2. What's the difference if there is an 'M' on the mobo?
3. Read up abit on Intel SRT and it seems like it would be useful as I am indeed using an SSD and HDD so I suppose it is okay for me to stick with the H87?
4. Will the H87/B85 be able to support better processors such as an i7 or better in the future if I want to change?
5. Thanks, will not get a separate cooler then.
