My revised setup. Is the Hydro H60 necessary for this setup?

As you are getting a non-K CPU, an AIO is really not necessary. Instead, get a good air cooler eg Cryorig, Noctua. There will be no risk of leakage and/or pump failure

Swap to RX470 and the difference can be used to get a Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB.

mITX mobo in an ATX case? Not saying it is not compatible, just not a good idea, go for at least mATX for more RAM slots (if got), PCIe slots and etc.

And I noticed you have a PCIe WiFi adapter in the build list, mITX mobo only comes with 1 full 16x PCIe slot and for sure it's for your main GPU, so you need to swap to mATX mobo to install the PCIe WiFi adapter.

Remove the CPU cooler and go for a 120GB entry level SSD, stock cooler is good enough for a locked i5, SSD will improve the system responsiveness as well as boot time.

With no OC involved, stock CPU cooler would suffice. Allocating the funds for an SSD will greatly enhance the overall build

In the case of the FSP Hexa, the 550W version costs RM229 compared to RM199 for 450W. You decide.

Would be good for you to indicate what you use the rig for. Am assuming gaming and if so, what kind of games. Also critical is your budget indication

2. MOBO - ASUS H110M-D RM299
3. RAM - 4Gb DDR4-2133 RM149
4. Case - AVF Case with 450W PSU RM159
5. HDD - 1TB 7200rpm RM219
Total - RM1065

Add SSD - Samsung EVO 850 120GB RM299

You can play around with the config using Idealtech's Tool

Hey Pros,

I just had a question, since I still have my old PC casing (gigabyte 3D aurora 570) and old power supply cooler master 1000w, could it still be use to build as part of a new rig today?

Any comments are appreciated, thank you in advance.

If they still work, I don't see why not

Thanks Richard, do you also have any recommendation for 2k PC rig- I don't really game much but use it to watch series and movies, that's all.

If you are certain gaming is not necessary, you could consider this:

1. CPU - Intel G4560 (RM239) or i3-7100 (RM509)
2 MOBO - ASUS H110M-D (RM299)
3. RAM - DDR4-2133 8Gb (RM289) or 4Gb (RM149)
4. SSD - Samsung EVO 850 120Gb - RM299 - for OS and apps
5. HDD - 1TB (RM219) or 2TB (RM345) - storing your movies maybe?
6. GPU - GTX1050 (RM579-599) or GTX1050ti (RM719)

Prices are from Idealtech

need some advice on getting a graphic card

Currently use

i5-6402P
ASUS B150 PRO GAMING AURA
4GB D4 PC2133

Only have few new games in Steam
1. PES 2017
2. Football Manager 2017
3. Civilization IV
4. Dead by Daylight
5. METAL GEAR SOLID V

and few old games that doesn't really even need GC

some of the newer game tak boleh pakai due to no GC

Is RM500++ low end GC capable of running those games?

If so, any suggestion?
*
Your budget will get you a GTX1050 2Gb (RM579) or RX460 2Gb (RM559) to run those games but may not be able to run at ultra settings for some games you listed
