You didn't state what to reuse (except the monitor) at first so we all thought you are getting a new rig instead  laugh.gif

If you choose to keep using your current processor, then mobo and RAM can also be reuse, no need to change because you can't find any new suitable mobo (LGA1155 socket) now.

Since your monitor is 720p, gaming requirements are much lower, but I will just include a decent 1080p gaming capable GPU so you can just upgrade to 1080p monitor next time.

Zotac GTX970 4GB GDDR5 ZT-90101-10P - RM 1479
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 409

Total: RM 1888 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

PSU can keep also but if you want more headroom for future upgrade, you can get Seasonic M12II EVO 620W (RM 409, modular cables) or Seasonic S12II 620W (RM 349, non modular cables).

As you said, no more suitable mobo for my processor socket.
The mobo im using is pretty small in size and have some issue on USB ports that annoyed me for sometimes.
The casing is normal casing (commonly used in office/school)
So i consider to build a new rig instead of upgrade current rig.

And, between Intel Core i5 4460 and Intel Core i7 2600, which is better for future upgrade?
I need to use it for at least 3 - 4 years without changing the major components, cpu and mobo to be specific.
