Hi Sifus,
Im building a desktop (for movies, internet surfing & Dota 2) for my friend. Budget Around RM2-2.5k but the list i have now is already exceeding it.

CPU: i7-4970S - already have
SSD: Intel SSD 535 Series, 240GB - already have
Motherboard: ASUS B85M-G - RM312 (not sure if this motherboard is good enough but generally want asus only due to quality and reliability reasons)
RAM: KINGSTON 8GB DDR3 (1600MHz) - RM232 (Would dual channel x2 4GB be faster?)
Power Supply: CORSAIR CX Series Half Modular CX600M - RM364 (any better option?)
HDD: 1TB Western Digital 64M SATAIII - WD10EZRX - Green Power - RM216 (optional can removed)
CPU: Heatsink COOLER MASTER Hyper 212X - RM152 (needed cause cpu dont have cooler/heatsink)
Graphics: SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON R7 260X 128bit 2GB DDR5 (PCIE 3.0) - New - RM464 (is this enough for Dota 2?)
Cooler Fans: Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850 RPM x2 - RM160 (can remove if not needed)
Casing: CORSAIR CARBIDE SPEC-01 Mid Tower Case - RM228 (any other slim micro-atx casing with good cable management & cooling?)
Optical Drive: ASUS 24X SATA DVD-RW Drive - DRW-24D3ST - RM65
Grand Total - RM2631.65


Would appreciate any expert advice on this matter. Thanks:)

Asus B85M-G - RM 313 (Well you want Asus for the quality and reliability reasons but their after sales service is bad TBH doh.gif )
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 209 (Dual channel is faster but you won't notice it in real world performance so just get 1 stick of 8GB, cheaper than 2 sticks of 4GB and have higher resell value in the future)
Seasonic M12II EVO 520W - RM 319 (A lot better than Corsair CX series due to 100% Japanese capacitors inside)
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 189 (Don't get WD Green, it is a turtle, max speed is just 5900RPM compared to Blue 7200RPM, you will notice the speed difference when you copy huge amount of files or load games etc.)
PowerColor R7 360 2GB GDDR5 - RM 459 (R7 260X is last generation card, get the new 3xx series, enough to max out Dota 2 at 1080p)
Corsair Carbide Spec-01 - RM 229 (Can switch to Thermaltake Versa H25 to save money)
Cryorig QF120 Performance (2200RPM) PWM x2 - RM 98
Asus DVD-RW SATA ODD - RM 59
CM Hyper 212X - RM 169

Total: RM 2044

Still have budget left, can use it to get a better GPU if you want.

Thanks for the reply Terence.if not Asus any recommendation? The seasonic 520w enough? Was considering 620w version.BTW the graphics card brand..never heard before, is hat good? Oh ya is there other recommendation around to max out dota without pushing the gpu to it's limit? Thanks so much for your list, much appreciated!:)
