Mostly aesthetic and better heat dissipation (just slightly).
Example of metal backplate on a GPU, it looks much nicer right?

Total: RM 14005 (ETech price inclusive of GST)
I haven't go into "all-in" mode yet, Dell U2417H is chosen mainly because of its super slim bezel which is good for Nvidia surround setup (triple monitors setup), the downside is slower response time (6ms) and 60Hz (still a standard anyway). As for GPU, GTX1080Ti is coming very soon and should be packing with Titan X Pascal's performance at much cheaper price tag than Titan X Pascal (est. RM 4500).
Thank you. Will use this as guide
What about custom table to house the hardware with some fancy cooling system? Any idea where to get this in Malaysia?
