You can upgrade to i5 7400 (or even Ryzen 5 1400) if you can top up your budget by ~ RM 100 - RM 200.

Get your fact right first

NZXT Kraken is not RM 1000 range, the most expensive one (X62) is just RM 759.

And Tecware Alpha is a standard ATX case with 240mm top and 280mm front radiator support, plenty of space for AIO water cooler.

Depends on which type of games you are going to play, I can see they all come with GTX1050Ti so the main deciding factor would be CPU, if the games you play is CPU demanding then pick the Ryzen 5 1600 build, if not then the i3 will do, you could even swap the i5 7400 to Ryzen 5 1400 build if your budget is around 2.8k.

BTW for both Intel builds, the mobo picked is mATX form factor, it won't fit in the ITX case (CM Elite 130 is an ITX case) FYI.

RM 600 can get a 1080p IPS monitor already, look for ViewSonic VA2419-SH/Dell S2218H/S2318H/Acer R221Q etc.

Since budget is not a problem then I will just go "all in" mode

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - RM 1599
Asus Prime B350-PLUS - RM 533
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 570

AMD cards are out of stock everywhere so I will use Nvidia cards as reference instead.

Intel Pentium G4560 ~ around RM 250
Cheap B150/B250 mobo with at least 4 PCIe x 1 slot (more is preferred so you can add more cards in the future) ~ around RM 400
8GB RAM ~ around RM 275 (4GB is also fine)
GTX1070 8GB ~ around RM 2000 (x 4)
500GB/1TB HDD or 120GB SSD ~ around RM 200
> 1000W 80+ Platinum PSU ~ start from around RM 1000
PCIe Riser ~ around RM 50 (x 4)
Open Bench Case ~ depends on which one you get, price may vary, just assume it to be around RM 300

Total cost will be around 10k+/-.

You could also go for GTX1060 which you will receive the ROI (return of investment) slightly faster than GTX1070, but in long terms, GTX1070 is able to earn more than GTX1060 (around 30% more annually). If you want to save cost, you can ditch the case and get cheap shoes rack from Tesco/Giant/<insert any hypermarket here> or DIY for yourself

Go for Ryzen 5 1600 to save a couple of bucks, ditch the T2 and go for a better cooler if you plan to overclock the processor

If you prioritize quality over performance, you can ditch the SSD (or downgrade to 120GB) and use the money to get a better PSU like Superflower Leadex Silver/Gold, EVGA G3 series etc.

If you don't have any HDD/SSD to reuse, the total cost will be > 1k.

Nope, it's value RAM actually, Corsair and Kingston Value RAM with exposed PCB model is also within that price range, I picked G.SKill mainly because it comes with a nice enclosure without extra price bump

And yes cap ayam PSU is also okay if you don't mind.

RAM overclocking only.

For latest socket (1151), yes, Z series mobo is required.

No problem with the price.

Haswell to Broadwell? That's 4th to 5th gen and the socket is still the same which means you don't have to swap the mobo if you go for this path, but then it is not worth to do this upgrade because the improvement is not insignificant at all, same goes to Kaby Lake (7th gen) upgrade, AMD Ryzen is a better pick if you want something that can bring major performance improvement to your rig.

Your budget is not enough to get a decent quality PSU, RM400 is the minimum recommended budget for that purpose

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 outperforms i5 7400 in general.

Tempered glass casing doesn't affect airflow, it's more towards aesthetic purpose, more and more big brands are releasing their own tempered glass casing nowadays and if you would like to jump on the bandwagon but have limited amount of budget then K7 is among the cheapest option out there. If you aren't fancy of tempered glass then there are plenty of other casings to choose from within your budget like NZXT S340/Corsair 270R/CM Masterbox 5 etc.

As for the PSU, no doubt it's gonna be Leadex Gold, it is a tier 1 PSU, the Corsair CX series is barely considered as a good PSU (tier 5 with expensive price tag ), another option that you can consider is EVGA G2 (obsoleted)/G3 (new).

Strix B250 is more towards aesthetic as it comes with some fancy features like RGB support to sync up the RGB fans in your casing, you can save a couple of bucks by going for a cheaper B250 if you aren't going to utilize those extra features by the Strix B250 model and use the money for other parts.

Ryzen is good so far, it's a complete new process node and architecture. i5 7500's clock speed is slightly higher than 7400, if clock speed is important for you (single threaded apps which rely on single core performance will perform better on a CPU with higher clock speed), then yep I would top up for the 7500.

AM4 ATX mobo starts at around RM 550, another model that you can consider is Asus B350 Prime, red & black board design as well.

Ryzen 5 1400 is like an i7, so 30% performance improvement should be easy to achieve, but if you don't mind adding another RM 200, Ryzen 5 1600 is a good pick (6 cores 12 threads), more powerful and a great leap from your current i5

If you want to keep the level/grade of Leadex Gold which is a tier 1 PSU, then you will have to look for EVGA G3, CM V series (not VSM), Corsair HX, RMx, RMi etc, G3's price is closest to Leadex Gold's price.

All the PSU listed by you are okay for overclocking, the internal components that build up the whole PSU matter the most, it is recommended to fork out more budget on a decent quality PSU for stability purpose.

FYI,

SilverStone Strider Essential - tier 6
Corsair TXM - tier 2

It means the power adapter included in the package is UK adapter and can be plugged in directly into our wall socket without having to use converter or transformer (some electrical appliances need to convert the voltage to work).

Depends on what games you play, some favor Nvidia, some favor AMD, but both of them are incredibly hard to purchase now.

VP9 decoding yes, encoding no.

The cheapest AMD Ryzen CPU is > RM 800, your budget won't be able to fit it unless you top up.

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - RM 1599
Asus B350-F Gaming - RM 650
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz RAM - RM 669
Asus GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Strix Gaming - RM 2549 (Price is subject to change & got ready stock as of yesterday)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 509
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 239
EVGA SuperNova 550 G3 - RM 499
Tecware Edge TG - RM 189

Total: RM 6903 (Topmaid price inclusive of GST)

Sure, just get a 1440p monitor (if you haven't already) and you are good to go, it's a complete build, you may get more casing fans if you want to improve the airflow of the rig.

It's gonna be Cooler Master Blade Master, around RM 35 only each
