Ahh.. Actually I am trying to avoid having 2 pc. So its possible to use the same case is it? Can suggest a system with a budget of 2.5k? Is it hard to remove old system and install new to the case?

The one posted by mod_po above your post will do.
Just remove the monitor from the build, then add in a GTX960 instead of 750TI, SSD instead of DVD/HDD and find a mobo which have PCIE gen3.

Looks like need to change the power supply as well is it? Which mobo to buy? Can i ask the shop to install all items so that i only need to install on my haf 932 case?

On second thought, should i just sel of my old system and top up my new system? Or is the value too low better keep it?

No idea how much you can fetch with that.

At your budget, an Asrock H97 pro4 should be possible.

I googled bout your PSU and its model seems pretty dated, it is safer to get a new one in this case.

No, you need to install the mobo on your case first then only mounting other parts, especially GPU.

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 669
MSI B85M-E45 - RM 289
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 219
Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1271
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 194
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 135
BenQ GL2450-B monitor - RM 479

Total: RM 3455 (GPU is from Cycom, others are from Viewnet inclusive of GST)

Adding a SSD will cause overbudget but it's up to you

Liteon MU 120GB SSD - RM 229
Liteon S900 128GB SSD - RM 249
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 429

Since it is Z68, high chance it will have PCIE 3.0, which is still the best offer out there by today.

Even if it don't, PCIE 2.0 is still pretty good enough for GTX970. As for CPU, since it is Sandy Bridge, try some overclock to make it perform at the best it can.

Pre-haswell (Ivy and Sandy) CPU support locked overclocking (on Z platform mobo) up to the maximum turbo clock.

In other words, you can lock it at 3.7Ghz (I assume yours is 2500?)

OHH sifus please help, for im in a dilemma . I wanted to buy a gaming rig but im still cannot choose between 970,980,980ti. I started with a budget of RM5000-5700 and wanted to buy a Gtx 980 but then i heard that a GTx 980ti was coming up. I was excited to hear that my budget could be used to buy the gtx980ti. But then i was advised from my friends that i should instead save my money from buying the GTX 980/980ti and buy the the 970 due to how cost effective the 970. Now im not sure if i should spend most of my budget on 980ti/980 or just buy a 970 and spend the rest on other part of my Rig and buy a new card in the next 1-2 years. Currently im using a 1080p monitor but i totally forgotten the brand. I hope sifus can help me solve this dilemma and give me a rig suggeston.

Yes, 970 offers pretty surprisingly great performance for the bucks it ask for (particularly from Nvidia, which is a rare sight), which is also a reason why it is so popular. But again, it is a mid high end card at best (and there's the 3.5GB VRAM fiasco just incase you didn't update bout it).

980TI on the other hand is not too shabby either. A 2x GTX970 SLI which cost the same (on paper, but practically 980TI will cause more due to being new and super rare) to a 980TI only offer bout 10% more performance. For people who can afford to pay over 3k for a GPU, they will prefer a GTX980TI despite the "10%" less performance cause:

1st, single card is hassle free than multicards. SLI require compatible mobo, PSU, drivers and bla bla bla to work, while sometimes it still stutter in performance despite high FPS. Single card of about the same performance is a winner here.

2nd, bout the VRAM part. 4GB (or precisely speaking 3.5GB) is pretty impressive amount of VRAM for last year standards, but with ever growing details and resolutions, it will soon be a norm or even a minimum. On the other hand, 980TI come with 6GB VRAM by default. Extra VRAM also make SLI rig more plausible, since SLI theoretically double (or at least 1.5x) the performance, but not the VRAM. You gonna require more VRAM when you are pusing games at a higher settings. The original 3.5GB VRAM is pretty sufficient for the game setting a single 970 will post (by today), but when double up the performance, it may not be enough.

Now, back to your rig part.

5-5.7k is still somehow limited for a 980TI rig. Reference 980TI from asus cost RM3.3k, which took more than half of your budget already and left you with under 1.7k for the remaining parts.

Unless you can preorder a cheap 980TI at sub 2.8k price, I will suggest you to go for a RM4k+/- rig with GTX970 for better price optimization.

Looking for some help to attempt to spec a new system with the criteria below with a budget of RM3800 or so. Priorities are quiet operation and easy maintenance as it will mostly be left on 24/7, maybe with a reboot every 2-3 weeks.

- Xeon E3-1231 V3, or whatever the latest version is
- H97 mobo, since I don't plan to OC
- 8GB of RAM
- GTX970, if possible... I heard Zotac is good value?
- SSD + HDD
- mini-ITX... or mATX, at least. Prefer a small form factor to save on room
- PSU, cooling and fans, to suit, with above-mentioned priority on low noise
- suitable casing, preferably with removable dust filters for easy cleaning
- system will be under a desk, in case that is a factor
- NO monitor, optical drive, keyboard, mouse or speakers needed.

Any help is appreciated.

Intel Xeon E3 1231 V3 - RM 949
Asrock B85M-ITX - RM 329
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 209
Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1271
Seasonic M12II EVO 520W - RM 319
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 194
Liteon S900 128GB SSD - RM 269

Total: RM 3540 (GPU is from Cycom, others are from Viewnet inclusive of GST)

Case choice (all with removable dust filters):
Corsair Obsidian 250D - RM 359
Bitfenix Prodigy - RM 349
Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX - RM 329

Do you mind to point me where do you get the price for Corsair Value RAM 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RM469? I have looking at Viewnet pricelist up & down but can't find

Found it

if u fine with idealtech choice of hardware n the price, so ur build just fine,
the cooler is not a must as u not using any cpu intensive software,
but it is recomended to get one, but still, stock cooler will do just fine,

u can consider BenQ 24" GL2450 RM479
