R7 370 is not quite worth at the moment, simply because of the price tag of RX 480

23" monitor can go as low as RM 400 (not necessary RM 700 unless you are going for Dell IPS).

Yup

Haven't played PES 2016 before so I have a quick check on the system requirements, the recommended specs are i3 530 and GTX 260.

Pentium G4400 is on par with i3 530 but GPU (GT730) is weaker than the suggested GTX 260, if everything performs correctly according to the recommended specs, then I don't think GT730 can get you a very good frame rate on high settings.

Performance difference between GTX1070 and RX 480 is very huge, they are aiming different user base.

GTX1070 is slightly faster than the previous GPU king, Titan X while RX 480 is meant to replace R9 390/GTX970/GTX980 at a much cheaper price tag. So in a nut shell, GTX1070 packs almost twice the performance of RX 480. So swapping from GTX1070 to RX 480 will bring down almost half of the frame rate that you can get in-game ya

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1305

Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Jetstream - RM 1999 (Estimated, leaked price in Nvidia thread, TBC)

Total: RM 4474

You left around RM 500 for monitor and KB. If you aren't going to get an expensive mechanical/gaming KB then you can settle with cheap Logitech Wired KB (< RM 50). As for monitor, RM 500 cannot do much, unless you top up your budget or swap to RX 480.

Downgrading from i7 to i5 is also a good option here to cover up the cost for monitor and other parts.

Both builds are able to run Dota 2 at max settings (1080p60).

EVGA PSU is not available in Malaysia officially.

EVGA does have global/international warranty policy but since their PSU isn't available in Malaysia so I am not sure if they will accept RMA locally or not, but you can always send back to the origin country for RMA via courier service if they allow customer to do so.

If you can wait then you can consider waiting for RX 470 which was announced yesterday in E3 2016, RX 470 is packing the performance of R9 290/GTX 780 at a very attractive price. If you cannot wait then you have to settle with last gen card (GTX960 or R9 380).

It depends on which GTX1070 (or other GPU) you are going to get, I think you gonna settle with a "larger" SFF case like CM Elite 130 (long), Phanteks Evolv ITX (quite big to be called as mITX somehow), Bitfenix Prodigy etc unless there is a mITX GTX1070 (or single fan version) that can fit in CM Elite 110, Silverstone SFF cases.

As for i5 CPU selection, you can go for i5 6500.

Your budget is unable to build a rig that is ready for VR (min requirement for VR is i5 4460 and GTX970 currently).

If you were to fit an i7 in a 3k rig then you gonna sacrifice a lot on other parts, namely GPU, i5 is more budget friendly and basic H110/B150 mobo is enough for your usage, getting H170/Z170 will increase the total cost needed.

Monitor isn't listed in "Hardware to reuse" so I guess you gonna need a new monitor right? QHD (1440p) is out of your budget because it costs at least 1.4k in local market, you gonna settle with cheap TN 1080p monitor for now (or a VA panel if budget allows).

May I know your exact PSU model?

This build is based on what you can get in local market currently, it might change in next couple of weeks when AMD RX 460 and RX 470 arrive in local market, so if you aren't in a rush, you can consider waiting for their arrival, they are based on new AMD Polaris architecture and carry more performance than the GPU that you can buy locally now within similar price range.

Are you still considering to reuse your current PSU? If yes, please provide the exact PSU model name so I can justify whether it can work with new system or not.

It will be either same or slightly more/less expensive unless the part that you want to buy is following the RRP set by distributor.

And yes product choice will be different too, if you want to get it from LYP, then you have to choose the appropriate replacement for those items that are not available.

It is either GTX960 or R9 380 for now.

Different brand is having different price, premium brand such as Asus, MSI and Gigabyte usually are more expensive, you aren't advised to get them if the price is over RM 950, not worth the money, used GTX970 is just around RM 1000 and carries twice the performance of GTX960.

RX 470/460 is coming soon, probably in next few weeks FYI.

Either one is one, if you overclock your 2600K then it will be more preferred.

RX 480 is slightly cheaper, RM 1249 for 8GB version according to pre-order price from local retailers.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1305

You are advised to upgrade to at least i5 for those triple A titles listed, RX480 is good enough for 1080p.

Intel Core i3 6098P - RM 441

If you insist to get i3, it will be over your budget, you need to downgrade to Pentium G4400 to keep below 1.5k.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 845
Asus H110M-K - RM 273

This is an incomplete build list with unknown PSU model, so I can't comment further on compatibility, the AIO liquid cooler is not necessary FYI if you want to save cost.

Please elaborate more on your usage and budget if possible.

i5 6500.
