Well it is almost possible if you have monitor, hdd/ssd and casing to reuse.

I am not sure if Leadtek GTX980 and CM G750M PSU combo still available or not, if yes then you can get i5 4460 + 8GB RAM + cheap H81 mobo and you are good to go, the cost should be around RM3.1k.

Yes the first promo ended in Dec 2014 but Idealtech had this promo again in Feb 2015 but I am not sure if it is still available this month, but you can try to ask them thou.

Idealtech

i3 is dual core and i5 is quad core, some games won't run on dual core processor such as Dragon Age: Inquisition, but if you only play Dota 2 then i3 should have no issue and it is able to support the GPU.

Can

Using it now and I would safety say it is matte.

DDR3 RAM cannot be installed on DDR2 slot, the physical key notch location is different

Are you sure? Leadtek is in the mid of the pack, it is much cheaper than overpriced Asus.

For example, Asus Strix GTX970 is RM1649 while Leadtek Hurricane GTX970 is RM1499, even the reference GTX970 by Asus is also more expensive than Leadtek by RM60.

Do you need a new case?

If you choose Bitfenix Prodigy then you are heading Mini-ITX build. Mini-ITX build will be more expensive than standard ATX and M-ATX build.

Monitor choice:
BenQ GL2450-B - RM 489
Samsung S20D300FY - RM 349
Samsung S22C170BS - RM 409

You can try to choose cheaper monitor to cover the over budgeted rig

970 performance is the double of 960 and with current price tag, 970 is the sweet spot for gamers. If you play on 1080p only, then 960 is fine but 970 will have more juice for ultra settings in games.

With GST implemented this month and weak RM currency, it is getting harder to build a rig with i5 + 970 with a good PSU under 3k, but since you have 3k + 500 budget so I think it is still within your purchasing ability.

Choose the second option and pair it with Samsung 19.5' monitor so you won't over budget. Or you can try switching to cheaper case to get bigger monitor or better PSU.

Your CPU is really weak to handle new games and large multiplayer map, your RAM is also not enough, 8GB is recommended.

Since you play online BF, quad core is the minimum because dual core will not be able to handle it smoothly.

For processor, AMD still behind Intel in single threaded performance and since you are buying a rig for gaming, AMD processor is not recommended as many games out there are favouring Intel.

For GPU, yes if you cannot reach 970 budget, you can try 280 or 280x which is below RM900. But AMD GPU is power hunger and runs hotter than Nvidia.

K70 and K70 RGB is different, TS wants K70 RGB and the price is around RM 680 at the moment.

Yes that mobo supports XMP, but getting a higher frequency and performance RAM won't have much performance differences in real world unless you are doing benchmark on it, but if you like the design then you are good to go

Monitor is just my own preference as U2414H is a good quality IPS monitor, you can choose other monitor with low input lag if you wish.

If you don't need WiFi, you can get cheaper M-ITX mobo such as Asrock B85M-ITX at RM 329 and spend the extra RM70 to buy extra casing fan, the PSU suggested is fully modular so it is easier to do cable management in your M-ITX rig.

The cheapest is Gainward reference version of GTX970, it was around RM 1099 before GST, now should be around RM 1160+/-.

RM 1000 budget might be a little bit hard to fit in all the parts with GST implemented now.

Which graphics card do you have now? Cannot recommend a PSU without knowing the card model. Add PSU will run out of your budget tho
