is thermaltake versa h25 necessary for this setup?

It's a case, so if you hadn't have your own case, yes it is necessary (unless you plan to use your PC naked lying outside).

table casing
any thermal cooler recommendations?
this rig is going to be used for heavy gaming.
also thinking of changing the GPU to gigabyte instead of zotac

CPU cooler? Since the CPU is locked and you can't OC on it, just find whatever aftermart cooler under RM150 and have the design which suit your taste and fit in your case.

For case fans, just grab some cooler master jetflo. I personally is a cheapskate which prioritize performance and value over aesthetic, so you will see me importing generic OEM fans from taobao instead of getting normal fans out there in the market.

As for the GPU, do note that Gigabyte's 970 priced at about RM1.6k, but if you have the money to spend, we won't stop you. But again, at 1.6k, I will rather wait for AMD's R9 390 which should offer better performance, 5.5GB more VRAM but still cost lower/about the same.

Well you got a lot of choices for your rig with 6k budget, you can go for oc rig (not really useful for gaming thou), GTX980Ti (overkill for 1080p thou), GTX980 + 1080p 144Hz monitor and so forth, if you don't need keyboard/mouse/speaker/OS, then the money can be used to invest in a 144Hz monitor.

Gaming rig 2.7k

got a monitor alrdy (1080p)

requirement: gtx 960
other than that i think its finee.

i5 4460 rm600

thermaltake versa h25 189

all comp + gst = 2752.8

is there any changes or improvement that i cant made?

and is the spu i choose reliable?

Looks fine,though you can add RM20 to the PSU and get Seasonic M12II Evo 620W 80+ Bronze Fully Modular for more headroom for future upgrades.

And yes,the Seasonic S12G 550W is a good PSU.

Really arrr? Lemme check... yeah you're right too blind to see... all this RED-BLACK-WHITE theme...

Yeahh, will be doing some gaming... light gaming... maybe some BF here and there... and, I havent play D3 yet

Xeon E3 1231 V3 is same tier with i7 4790 with slightly lower clock speed and no iGPU only. If you insist to get i7 4790, downgrade the SSD to 128GB and top up RM 40 for it.

is SSD 128 GB enuf to just store OS?
Btw, MSI GTX970 isnt good?

Enough to store OS but after you install Windows Update patches, it will take nearly 35% of 128GB SSD space, so getting a 256GB will be more worth and have more space for storage.

MSI is good but overpriced, nearly 1.6k and is only 400 behind Palit GTX980. It's still a GTX970 no matter what brand it is, there is no performance compromise. If you want the MSI card just for the design and brand name, go for it, it's your money anyway.

Are you fine with the card not red/black in colour but red/white?Asus GTX960 Turbo 2GB GDDR5 RM849.Strix edition RM939.The R9 380s cost around the same btw.

You want 2 monitors,a GPU and sleeved cable but with the budget you've,you might have to sacrifice a monitor.

Well you stated no budget so I will just include the items that are suitable for your usage.

thanks for your input bro. got my rig today but unfortunately they did not have zotac gtx970. bought the gigabyte 960 instead

Hmmm, yeahhh... I'm thinking the same thought as well... PUT A HOLD TO ONE MONITOR

The Red-White Asus GPU is kinda hot too... need to make some survey and review bout it... thanks man

Can anyone recommend me a good 1080p gaming monitor priced around Rm600-800. Thanks guys.

Around RM600-800?BenQ RL2455HM RM699.I think that's the only gaming monitor around the price range.
