GTA V highest settings will require at least a GTX980Ti (basic & advance settings all maxed out at 1080p 60Hz). I tested with GTX970, basic settings can be turned on to max (including population/traffic density etc. provided your processor is not bottlenecking with i5 mininum), but once advance settings are turned on, FPS drop occurs everywhere.

Your budget cannot fit a GTX970 so highest setting is not possible for now, and you requested SSD to be included which is even harder to build a decent gaming rig that can handle games smoothly.

Intel Core i3 4170 - RM 486
Asus H81M-K - RM 229
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM - RM 220
Gainward GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 799
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 229
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139

Total: RM 2516 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

The degradation of MYR has caused hardware price to increase for the past few months, it is possible to get a i5 + GTX960 under RM 2500 last time FYI. If you wish to run future games at smoother frame rate, I suggest you to save RM 1000 more for i5 + GTX970/R9 390.

let me review my budget again

If stay at Haswell (4th gen) i5, then you need only RM 350 more while maintaining other parts.

If go for Skylake (6th gen) i5, then you need around RM 650 more for Skylake mobo + DDR4 RAM.

If you are going for GTX970/R9 390, prepare another RM 600.

i3 is not sufficient for CPU demanding games, if only casual gaming like MOBA games then i3 is ok.

SSD can be added later when you have extra funds.

thank you
i will review back my system to select which and which to downgrade for a while
