Alienware X51:
http://www.dell.com/my/p/alienware-x51-r2/pd

That is tough to build unless you can find someone selling Silverstone ML07 and RVZ01 case
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=503

RVZ01:
http://www.silverstonetek.com/raven/produc...l=RVZ01&area=en

You can find people selling Silverstone SG05 Lite though
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=413&area=en

Any desktop GPU that is GTX750 or R7 260X already blows GTX745 away.
Looks like Lumion needs graphic card updates.
http://lumion3d.com/products/

You can try changing it to Leadtek GTX970 4GB DDR5 at RM1299 plus Seasonic M12 II Evo 520W power supply at RM279 and see how it goes.

That is the first step of ITX since Leadtek is only 8.11" long. Next phase, change to these

Xeon E3-1231 V3 - RM829
Asrock H97M-ITX/ac motherboard - RM349
Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM249
Coolermaster Elite 110 case - RM139

So Tristan do u think that the x51 is a good deal?i will take the cheapest one since my budget is only ard 3k,and one more thing izit possible to upgrade anything in the future if I'm buying Alienware x51?

Hi, currently in my mind as below:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k 4GHz RM1159
MOBO: Asrock Z97 Extreme4 RM579 or Z97X Fatal!ty KILLER RM599 or Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 motherboard - RM559?
SSD: Intel 530 240GB SSD - RM 479
HDD: WD Blue (WD10EZEX) - RM 189
RAM: Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM244
ODD: REUSE PIONEER DWD-RW
CHASIS: ??
PSU: Seasonic X-650 RM529 / Seasonic M12 II Evo 620W power supply - RM359
LCD: REUSE DELL U2312HM
COOLER: Coolermaster Hyper 212X - RM149
GPU: GTX970

a) Which motherboard is preferrable? Why?
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 is already good enough

b) Do i need to get those like GSkill Ram or other?
Nope, RAM speed does not increase performance that you will notice

c) Do i need the Seasonic X-650 instead of Seasonic M12 II Evo 620W?
X-650 is Tier 1 which has higher quality parts inside. You get what you pay for.

d) Is Coolermaster Hyper 212X silent enough and support if i overclock?
Silence is very dependant on fan and your other parts as well. Also, you get what you pay for.

e) Can recommend me a chasis? Prefer to be solid and silent.
Try Corsair Spec 02 or 03 at around RM220.

f) Do i need fans for extra cooling? If yes, what to add, as mentioned, prefer to be silent.
You have to experiment at stock casing fans before you start increasing the fans.

Nope, you can get better. The issue is the cases that has the size close to X51 is not available here yet.

Branded PC upgradeability is always limited. The PSU of that X51 is disappointing.

I need some advice if the spec below will be suitable for daily usage (FHD movie, Dota 2, overclock) and it's also within 4k budget

Intel Xeon E3 1231V3
Asrock H97 Pro4
Kingston 8GB DDR3
WD 1TB Caviar Blue
Sapphire R7 265 2GB DDR5 Dual-X
Seasonic S12 II 620W
Phantom White 410
Liteon 24x DVDRW
Silverstone TD03
Benq GL2460HM

Is the GC good enough or there's other better card? What about the monitor?

You don't need overpriced motherboard for non-OC CPU. Asrock H97 Pro4 at RM329 is already more than enough.

Old parts are hard to find. Either you buy online or look for second hand.
