If VRAM usage is > 2GB, R9 280 will have advantage, otherwise they are almost the same.

i3 has better single core performance even though it is only dual core, most of the Intel out perform AMD CPU even though cores are lesser, don't judge performance by just looking at the core offered. A

And why you need quad core CPU? Any heavy workload or gaming there?

Witcher 3 is packed with Nvidia GameWorks, which holds back the performance of AMD card, but they (settings) can be disabled completely if I am not mistaken, but so far quite a lot of titles released this year are having issue with AMD card, if you want performance out of the box, go for Nvidia card, it is safer at least.

Hmm, do you already own the two 1440p monitor or they need to be included in the budget (you didn't include monitor in the hardware to reuse part so I am not sure about this)?

They suppose still have stock, probably removed from the list due to the massive stock addition of LGA1151 mobo (list too long and no space to list old mobo). And of course you can buy the parts from others if they are cheaper.

Yes, at least you have day 1 driver support and better performance without tweaking any settings, but drawback is more expensive than the same tier AMD card.

If buy all parts at once, you might be able to get some discounts from the shop, but price will be according to current market's price.

If you buy separately in each month, there are some possible situations, first is MYR continues to drop and price will increase next year, second is MYR strengthen against USD, price might be cheaper. If buying separately, high chance there isn't any discount unless the seller is very kind to you

If you are thinking of getting Intel Skylake CPU then go just ahead because Intel won't release new gen CPU so soon, if others then you need to consider the timeframe, some might have new products incoming soon, if you don't mind getting obsolete hardware, then either way is fine.

They are having almost identical performance except the VRAM is 3GB on R9 280, but due to some performance issues on recently released games on AMD card, I suggest you to stick with GTX960 for better performance out of the box especially those Nvidia GameWorks enhanced titles.

You mean TIME Broadband? If yes then no need any special model, normal WiFi card will do.

If you are applying for 100Mbps package then you need to know you won't be able to fully utilize the 100Mbps speed on WiFi because the stock router given by TIME (ZTE H298N) isn't strong enough, only LAN cable can get full speed, average is around 60Mbps only on WiFi (I am using it also so I know). Get a 5GHz with 802.11ac mode router and you are good to go.

Then a normal USB WiFi card (cheaper) or PCI-E WiFi (more expensive) will do, you can get those with dual band support just in case for future 5GHz router.

If you worry about signal quality, go for PCI-E based WiFi card instead, if not then it is sufficient, generally USB WiFi card is weaker in signal.

If you play other latest triple A titles and want to run on almost max settings, please change the GPU from GTX960 to GTX970.

Keyboard/mouse/speaker is not included in the list, you can just grab whatever suits you with the remaining funds.

Well I suggest you to save more first before buying, this spec is pathetic TBH

Need budget first so I can make suggestion based on it.

4.5k can go for i7 and it really helps a lot in rendering/modeling.

As for mobo, B150/H170 will do, i.e MSI B150M Bazooka D4 (RM 409, mATX) or Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 (RM 589, ATX).

And RAM, you can just get value RAM, especially those with 2133MHz, because only Z170 mobo can use > 2133MHz RAM, so if you get 2400MHz and install it in B150/H170 mobo, it will downclock itself to 2133MHz also.

As for PSU, if budget allows, you can go for Seasonic M12II EVO 620W (RM 409), if budget not enough, FSP Hexa+ 550W (RM 199) will do the job just fine.

Please note that the price and product range is different for each shop, I see you included an EVGA GTX970, so high chance you are getting from Idealtech, they don't carry MSI mobo one.

Will use Haswell (4th gen) instead of Skylake (6th gen) due to budget issue.

Little over budget, hopefully you are ok with it

As for speaker, just grab those cheap one like Edifier M1250 (~RM 40).

Idealtech pricing is slightly higher than other shops FYI but they provide better after sales services.

Not quite possible unless you have HDD to reuse and the build will be based on Haswell (4th gen) instead of Skylake (6th gen).

If you don't have HDD to reuse, it is still possible to get a GTX970 + i5 rig under 3k, but you need to spend time to hunt for the cheapest item either online or physical shop.

To get Skylake i5, you need to top up another RM 250, just for CPU + mobo + RAM alone.
