Refer to IdealTech (Google) or etc... Better check the place where you build your PC too. Some of these specs do not include LCD so might need to order or use your old one.

This spec does not include monitor right ?

So far this is what Ideal Tech offered me for RM7069, I was wondering do I need to upgrade the RAM into GSKILL RipjawsV RED 2x8GB DDR4 2800mhz (CL15)/(CL16) for RM649 and the PSU into FSP Hydro G 650W (80+GOLD/Full MODULAR)*5 Years Warranty (Entitled for Red Green Match VI RM50 Rebates) for RM499.

RAM - 8GB is enough but will run of out memory in no time if you don't practice memory management at all, i.e. few Chrome/FF tabs can take away half of your available memory already, 16GB is recommended for this case (not mandatory though as Windows will remove inactive apps from the memory if it is not enough or use virtual memory).

PSU - I have no idea why they always push that PSU model to their customer, RM 349 for a non-modular and unknown internal component quality (barely got any review online), why take the risk? Superflower Leadex Silver is obviously a better choice here within the same price range. And yes I do recommend you to top up your budget a bit for a better PSU in this case.

Oh and about the Wireless adapter, is it sufficient to use the TL-WN881ND (300Mbps Wireless N PCI Express Adapter) listed there in terms of stability and connection range ?

can I know some feedback about Acer KG240A RM999 144hz 1ms monitor compared to the BENQ 24" XL2411 ?
I've asked like 5-6 resellers like ideal tech, etech, dota tech, and all of them are out of stock for the BENQ 24" XL2411 monitor. I guess I'm out of choice and have to consider the acer monitor, so I would like to know if its good enough.

Techview posted the picture of BenQ Zowie XL2411 two weeks ago on their FB page, not sure if it is sold out or not, if you haven't asked them then you can try to PM them.
