yes you can re-use your old HDD and your dvd player (can refer here : http://www.wikihow.com/Install-a-DVD-Drive ) , add an SSD for your OS and your 3D work programs (autodesk maya, adobe photoshop, adobe after effects etc) and another hard disk for extra storage.

CPU-Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3-RM779
Mobo-Asrock B85M Pro-4-RM279
GPU-Gainward GTX 760 2GB-RM799
Memory-Gskill Value Ram 1X8GB-RM239
SSD-Plextor M5S 128GB-RM299
HDD-WD Blue 1TB-RM189
PSU-FSP Raider 550W-RM239
Case-CM K380-RM149

total-RM2972

May I ask why Xeon E3 over i5 / i7? Do you think I can skip the 1TB HDD since I plan to reuse my old one? (1TB as well)

thanks again thumbup.gif

the Xeon e3 is basically an i7 without onboard gpu and has slightly lower cpu clock rate but in all in all it's almost the same. Yes you can skip it, with that extra budget you can add another stick of 8gb memory or upgrade the gpu (probably gtx 760 with non reference cooler, Gainward 760 Phantom or Leadtek 760 OC for example).
