Thanks. that truly helps and your suggestions makes more sense. yeap, i will like to be more future proof with AAA games (not limited to only e sport titles). i am using this monitor at the moment, definitely not a gaming one cause it was bought with other intention in mind couple of years back (https://www.viewsonic.com/sg/asset-files/files/_lcd/au-va2419-sh.pdf). there could always be possibility to upgrade in future.
For the RAM, i chose T Force purely for the RGB purposes and it will cost around 349 / 429 (Performance RAM). So i guess that price is still ok since it is below RM500
For casing, it is down to either one of these: Lian Li TU150 or H210. that is firm. What im unsure is the PSU. im looking at either FSP Hydro GD 650w or Corsair RM650w. if FSP is ok, that will be good since there is a difference of RM100.
For cooling, is AIO a good choice over the Scythe Mugen 5? i will treat this as an add on provided i have extra budget.
If it is for AAA gaming, go with the 3600. You will be good for at least 3 years.
The monitor is alright for 1080p 60Hz gaming so your CPU and GPU selection is good.
I recommend the Fury because that is what I'm using. It has RGB as well and is from Kingston. I have no experience in using T Force so that's your call. Go for 3600 MHz RAM if you can, or 3200 MHZ is good enough if you cant.
As for CPU cooler it's up to you because the R5 3600 is not hard to cool and already comes with a cooler out of the box. So when looking at a cooler, consider if you want to OC or upgrade to a i7/i9/R7/R9 later.
I personally would go for the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev B as it can support high end CPUs up to i9 or R9 if you upgrade later for a fraction of the AIO cost.
If you would like to spend on an AIO, know that the TU-150 supports 120mm AIO while the H210 supports 240mm AIO. 120mm AIO is good up to i5/R5 while 240mm is good for i7/R7. Take a look at your budget and see which one looks nice.
If you want a 240mm AIO, I can recommend the NZXT X52 Kraken (there's a X53 that came out last year, but I dont like the cable management on that).
EDIT:TU-150 uses an SFX psu.
Your options are Silverstone SX-650G or Corsair SF600/SF700.
Corsair ones are not easy to find nor are they cheap.
H210 uses an ATX PSU.
You have a lot more options here, and ATX PSUs are cheaper than SFX.
I have the RM650 and recommend that or the superflower leadex II/III 650W.
