Hello masters of custom rigs! Need suggestions for a build with details below:

[Budget]
RM4k

[Purpose]
Mainly as a gaming rig, work stuff (graphic design and illustrations) and everyday use (net browsing, downloading, office document processing)

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Have existing peripherals like mouse and keyboard, 23" Samsung monitor and speakers.
May salvage my 1TB HDD.

[Monitor resolution]
1920 x 1080 - I'm reusing my monitor.
I'm setting a seperate budget for a second monitor for future investment but that's a different story.

[Games & software that use frequently]
Games that I can literally push the settings to the max - BF4, AC4 Black Flag, Tomb Raider, Skyrim
Software - Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Painter, MS Office

[Personal preferences]
- Quote with price on the items
- Throw in an SSD as system drive and an extra 1TB as storage drive.
- Chassis - Sleek and badass design with sufficient aircooling flow. I know there're tons in the market which is hard to decide, so I'll allocate around RM250-400 for one within the RM4k build.
- GPU - I'm more of an Nvdia person.
- At the moment I'm not looking to OC, nor having as water cooling setup.
- Prefered vendor - IdealTech

[Location]
Kuala Lumpur

Appreciate you insight and many thanks notworthy.gif

Thanks rav3n82! thumbup.gif
I was thinking an i5 4670 CPU would be suggested instead of a Xeon CPU. Am I correct to say this rig is suggested with the intention of not OC-ing? Please clarify if I'm wrong about that. Although currently I don't have plans but I may have itchy hands to OC in the future icon_rolleyes.gif
