Dear Sifus,
What can I get with a total of RM2000-2500 budget?
*excluding case, monitor, keyboard, optical drive, and mouse
*good for open world games such as DayZ, Batman, etc...
*good for video editing, engineering softwares

Tq for the fast reply. I have some questions to ask you :

If I wanted to change to i5 or i7 in the future should I go for the Z97 mobo instead?
I am most probably will build a new pc after June 2015. Is it better to wait for Skylake since it might be out later this year?

Is the gtx 960 a better choice than 970?

Is the BenQ RL2455HM a good value monitor for competitive games like csgo where reaction time is important?

I am currently using the old Samsung SyncMaster 2043SWX. Bought in late 2009.
Is there a massive difference between 1ms and 5ms response time (in the eyes of competitive player)?

Are there any more cheaper or value for money monitors other than the BenQ mentioned?

Need some suggestions

[Budget] RM 1500

[Purpose] Gaming & work

[Hardwares that will be re-use] hdd, graphics card, monitor, keyboard, mouse, chasis.

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] GTA 5, CS:GO, Dota 2, MS Office, Photo Editing, Engineering softwares like PSpice, Matlab, etc

[Personal preferences] Non-overclock build.

Currently using Phenom IIx4 955 BE and AMD 6870. Going to reuse graphics card while saving money for 970 or 960.

Other than that, may I know the value of my pc right now (without hdd and gc) if I were to sell it?
Here is the specs

AMD Phenom IIx4 955 BE
MSI 790FX-GD70
4x2GB DDR3 1333 RAM
DVD RW drive
CM Hyper 101 CPU Cooler
500W PSU (Dont know what brand)

Thank you.
