P. supply: planning to get Corsair ax760w

RAM: planning to get Kingston/Corsair 16 gb (8x2)

Mom. board: planning to get Asus z97-k

HDD: Planning to get 1x WD blue (1TB) + 1x WD green (2TB) for storage

I prioritize gaming performance, i'm poorfeg so budget max is rm 6000 +/-

All sifu please come help give suggestion !

520W is enough for this setup, he can go for 620W if he wish to do so but I prefer modular cable, PC looks nicer and you can get rid of unused cable for better air ventilation.

You're spending too much.It's because there's much unnecessary item on the list..rm4000-4500 should be enuf already.

You don't need Corsair AX760 if you are not going to SLI in the future, normal 500-600W will do.

You don't need a z series mobo as well if you are using a locked processor unless you are going to SLI in the future, H97 or cheaper B85 will do.

Your budget is healthy for SSD, drop the WD Green, it is a turtle and go for Seagate Barracuda.

Intel Core i7 4790 - RM 1179
Asrock H97 Pro4 - RM 369
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM x2 - RM 468
Leadtek GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Hurricane - RM 1429
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W PSU - RM 379
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 429
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD - RM 299
CM Hyper 212X - RM 169
Corsair Carbide Spec-02/03 - RM 239
Logitech G100 - RM 119
Dell S2415H - RM 769

Total: RM 5848 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Thanks sifu! 

The PSU& mobo i was planning to get ax760& z97k respectively so that i can use use it after future upgrades.

Will switch WD green for Seagate.

For cooler, i'm considering Cooler Master Hyper 212X & Cooler Master Seidon 120V Liquid Cooler, difference is only RM 10.

But cooler master seidon 120v is the lowest spec water cooler. In term of effectiveness, will 212X be better?

Understand about the upgrade, the PSU is good to go but Asus Z97K is a waste as it only supports Crossfire but not SLI since you are choosing Nvidia GPU over AMD GPU, 9 series mobo can upgrade to 5th gen processor which is coming out in June but the performance bump isn't significant so I don't think you will upgrade the processor in short time.

May I know what is the future upgrade you are looking to do on that mobo? 

Pick Seasonic G-650.It's far cheaper than AX760.Enuf even for GTX 970 SLI.
Z97?going for K series in future?

Ha3,
i would say, moreless the same,
im using previous version 120v,

But ur processor is not OC,
So doesnt matter much,
as ur cpu will not heat up much

For PSU i would prefer a higher wattage & quality one so that i don't have to change it in future. 

Was planning to get either AX760 or Cooler master 750 (which is only RM 500).

For mobo, decided to get MSI Z97-SLI KRAIT. Planning to get another GTX 970...

Might get a K-series processor too in the future 

Seasonic is a good quality psu.Cooler Master V700 you mean?it's made by seasonic as well FYI..

I'd take Asus Z97-Pro Gamer RM662.50 for overclocking.
