Try haggling with this guy for Silverstone PSU and case. 300W is more than enough. I'm not a fan of cap ayam PSU.

Try the build I've listed for WhysoSerius with Silverstone cases and power supply from the other guy

Not sure what "light game" you are referring to so I assume it as basic casual game and iGPU should be able to cope with it.

these software doesnt need gpu?

The iGPU should be enough, rendering is more towards CPU computing.

If you insist to get a dedicated GPU, you can downgrade the i7 to i5 6500 and get a GTX750 for CUDA technology, but seriously it won't help much in rendering speed/time unless the software is heavily relying on GPU computation.

Budget is very low for a full set desktop FYI.

[Personal preferences] Monitor I prefer Dell/Asus, prefer smaller case and silent. No OC required as i will be lazy doing it after half year. Not sure whether USB type A and type C port are recommended to have for future purpose.

Thanks!

Your budget can fit a GTX980Ti so ultra settings at 2K isn't a big problem for optimized games. AS for USB Type A/C, you can always buy one and plug into the PCI-E slot if needed later.

The CPU cooler just use the stock cooler or its wise to get third party cooler? Possible to add keyboard, mouse and speaker into the budget as this is a totally new setup. Thanks! Is there any difference between B150M and H170M?

Stock cooler should be ok since you cannot overclock the CPU, if you are not satisfied with the CPU temp after you have gotten your rig, then only get a decent 3rd party cooler.

Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 69
Edifier M1250 2.0 Speaker - RM 42

B150 and H170 difference is small, B150 doesn't have SATA RAID support, Intel AM/TE/vPro support which consumers hardly use these features to be honest.

The "M" behind stands for mATX form factor.
