What I can see is plenty of overpriced stuffs especially Asus mobo and GPU, but it's your money so I won't stop you from getting them, you can always spend your money in a wiser way like getting better parts for the rig for better performance instead of aiming for certain brand name.

For sure the i7 which is having the hyperthreading technology (extra 4 threads) will have slight edge on gaming but not all games utilize this technology yet.

DX12 aims to reduce the CPU overhead and is believed can improve CPU utilization so i7 might become the primary CPU choice for triple A titles (even though many triple A titles recommend i7 now even in DX11 era, but it is still far from being able to fully utilizing the power of i7 though).

i5 is also good enough for gaming, get i7 only if your budget allows.

So you said you can upgrade the GPU if you go for i5 path, from R9 390 to R9 390X? Or R9 390 to GTX970/GTX980? GTX970 is slightly weaker than R9 390 though and GTX980 is more expensive than R9 390X.

I suggest you to wait for next gen GPU if you are not in a rush as Nvidia is expected to announce new Pascal GPU at GTC on April 5.

Temperature is quite similar for both brands for non-reference card.

Suggested 4th gen Intel CPU due to budget limitation.

How many times you need to ask

Prices do not change much compared to last week.

ITX build again?

Acer Predator XB281HK, if you are using a compatible Nvidia GPU then you can take advantage of the GSync feature.

H110 comes with 2 RAM slots only but for casual users, it should be enough, if you think it is ok for you then just pick H110 (save money).

Kingston SSD is ok, just need to avoid their lowest end series (V300) due to NAND issue.

You can go for Samsung 850 EVO then, or the lower end 750 EVO.

As for USB 3.0 PCI-E card, if you have budget then you can look for Silvestone (expensive) or Transcend (cheaper, around RM 50+).

Too risky to run R9 390 on an entry level PSU, you are advised to get a more decent and capable PSU to run it.

Nvidia is expected to announce next gen GPU (Pascal) tonight at GTC 2016 so you might need to hold off from getting any new GPU now.

If you need HDD for more storage, add RM 215 for WD Blue 1TB HDD.

You stated [Purpose] light gaming - such as Dota2, Csgo & use for work.

For Dota 2 and CS:GO, i5 is more than enough, you never describe what you gonna do for "work" so I assume it is just some basic stuffs and not related to any kind of serious rendering/editing

ASRock, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI are all reputable mobo manufacturers, in theory they should have similar quality, but sometimes s*** happens Just pray you can get a defective free unit (most likely).

As for RAM, it is related to what you gonna do as well, Dota 2, CS:GO, basic stuffs etc., 8GB is enough.

Budget is too tight

If want to keep ~1k, drop the GPU.

If want to keep ~1.5k, downgrade the GPU to Sapphire R7 260X or switch to mATX build (mITX is expensive to build).

What games you play?

Optional upgrade:
1. GTX960
2. R9 380

Both < 1k, you can re-use your current GPU first and only get a new one when you upgrade your monitor, most likely you can get next gen Pascal and Polaris GPU by then.

HD6950 is quite an aged GPU so don't expect it is still able to perform very well in games

Yes, Zotac is offering 5 years warranty for their GPU products.

I think it is just an error, the specs listed on the page are wrong as well.

What's in the box:
1 x Zotac GTX 970 1 x Dual 6-pin to 8-pin PCIe adapter 1 x User Manual 1 x Driver Disc

Usually low end (H110) mobo only got 4 SATA 3 ports due to chipset limitation, while mid tier mobo (B150 & H170) comes with 6 SATA 3 ports, if you want > 6 SATA 3 ports, then you need to look for specific Z170 mobo but this will jack up the cost.

Suggested last gen platform since it is cheaper to build.

Nvidia didn't announce any new GTX GPU based on Pascal/Tesla P100 yesterday, so I guess they will do it in Computex 2016.

If you cannot wait then I think you can just settle with current gen GPU then, even after they announce new GPU, it will take some time for the GPU to reach MY.
