[Hardwares that will be re-use] 3 HDD, 1 SSD, monitor, keyboard, mouse

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 16 2015, 08:48 AM) LGA 1155 new mITX mobo is very hard to find now, I'll just recommend a new platform to you instead. Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 822 Gigabyte H170N-WiFi - RM 575 Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 269 Fractal Design Node 304 - RM 369 Dell U2414H - RM 1025 Total: RM 3060 (ETech price inclusive of GST) To reduce cost, downgrade to Haswell (4th gen), this can save you roughly RM 500 since you can reuse your DDR3 RAM and Haswell mITX mobo is cheaper. Edit: typo on socket number  Thanks terrence. I might change PSU as well. Any recommendation? @all, anyone interested with my old rig stuffs do let me know.

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 16 2015, 02:20 PM) Your PSU is fine to reuse, if you really want to change to a better quality PSU, you can consider Seasonic M12II EVO 520W/620W for fully modular cables or S12II 520W/620W for non modular cables, price is around RM 300 - RM 400 depending on the model you are getting. alright cool. thanks again
