Hi guys and Sifus!
I have more or less decided on my choice build. (thanks to guidance and advice from vandoren and terence_nwb

).
Just wanted to put it out here for more opinions and advice!
From Idealtech:
CPU: INTEL CORE I7 6700 (4 CORE/ 8 THREADS/4.0GHZ) = RM 1325
CPU COOLER: CRYORIG H7 (145MM) = RM189
MOBO: GIGABYTE H170-GAMING 3 = RM539
RAM: GSKILL RipjawsV RED 2x4GB DDR4 2400mhz (CL15) = RM329
GPU: EVGA GTX970 ACX 2.0+ (Dual BIOS) 4GB DDR5 256Bit (1178/7010) = RM1599
PSU: Seasonic S12II-620 EVO (80+Bronze/ Non Modular) = RM299
CASE: Sharkoon BW9000 (BLACK) = RM299
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB = RM509
TOTAL: RM5088 ( slightly over-budget but I can live with it

)
I'm gonna reuse my keyboard+mouse, monitor, optical drive, and a few SATA HDDs.
So, what do you guys think?
I have until this weekend to confirm my choice.

PS: Since I'm most likely ordering from Idealtech and I'm not going back to KL until Tuesday next week, is it beter to confirm order now or wait till last minute? ( in case of further price drops

)
According to zhen^wei from Idealtech, the Seasonic S12II 620W unit failure rate is quite high for latest batch (lots of RMA/warranty claim), switch to Seasonic M12II EVO 620W better.

I already have a casing. So I can use it for the ram perhaps. Is the latest i5 expensive? The one with DDR4.
Your current casing is ATX form factor, or at least mATX? (Just have to make sure it can fit the mobo)
Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 809
MSI H110M Pro-VH - RM 329
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 ZT-90310-10M - RM 799
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Total: RM 2541 (Techview price inclusive GST)
Latest Skylake i5 is same price as Haswell i5, the problem is the mobo which can support DDR4 is expensive, the lowest end chipset (H110) with DDR4 support is going to cost you RM 329, which is significantly more expensive than DDR3 based mobo.
