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.

Nice! this is what i've been looking for. mATX form factor, any suggestion of 3rd party cooler as I worry the compatibility issue whether can fit to this case or not. Also will Seasonic S12II 620W be fit in this casing? According to my finding, this should be modular, correct?

Any 3rd party air cooler with height < 160mm (e.g. Cryorig H7/Cryorig H5 Ultimate) should be ok but this depends on the clearance/space available and your cable management.

Seasonic S12II 620W can fit in the case but it is a non modular PSU, you can top up to get the fully modular version (Seasonic M12II EVO 620W) at RM 379.

Alright I will just create a build with i5 + GTX970 which is good enough for 1080p gaming.

And due to limited products range by Thundermatch, there is no cheap DDR4 based B150/H170 mobo to pick so I will just use Haswell instead because there are reports saying DDR3 on Skylake mobo will cause damage to memory controller after long time of use.

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 788
MSI B85M-E45 - RM 313
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 198
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 259
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 229
MSI Tiger GTX970 4GB GDDR5 OC - RM 1590
Corsair VS550 - RM 219
Asus SATA ODD - RM 69
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139
Dell S2340L IPS - RM 656

Total: RM 4460 (Thundermatch price inclusive of GST)

Thank you so much! Btw, is it better to use i5 4690 with extra rm60? Will performance improve a lot? Also, is it better use better psu with extra rm40? Corsair VS650W Modules Power Supply. Are there any better monitor 24" inches with similar price?

Didn't notice the price difference is just RM 60 because other shops are selling roughly RM 100 higher. You can go for that but speed is mostly depend on the app usage, normally 3.0GHz is enough for gaming nowadays unless you do rendering work which benefits from higher speed. Same goes to PSU, RM 40 is OK for 100W for me too.

As for monitor, S2340L is the best you can get with RM 600 range but please take note the screen is glossy finish, meaning you can see reflection when you are under bright light source.

Oh, not the real Thundermatch it seems, just a subsidiary of it.

But anyway, you are using a locked CPU so getting a Z97 board might be a bit useless though, but you do get full size ATX board and more PCI-E slots so you make your own choice here brows.gif
