Would be good to know what kind of games you play to establish whether they are GPU/CPU demanding or not. Here's something to consider:

CPU - Intel G4560 RM249
Mobo - Asus H110i-PLUS RM380
RAM - 8GB Kingston PC DDR4-2133 RM270
HDD - 1TB 7200rpm RM212
Case - Cooler Master Elite 110 RM189
PSU - Cooler Master Elite 550W RM235
GPU - GIGABYTE GTX1050 2G D5 OC RM599

TOTAL - RM2134 based on C-Zone pricing

For better GPU, GIGABYTE GTX1050TI 4G D5 RM715
Add SSD, KINGSTON UV400 120GB RM239

Mid and lower end AMD Ryzen is scheduled to be released next month, so this build is still based on Intel CPU and they are many possible builds for your budget, you didn't list out which games you are going to play so I'll just use a dual core i3 as reference, you may ditch the SSD and upgrade to i5 or even GTX1060 if you prefer to get something that is able to improve your gaming experience.

Intel Core i3 7100 - RM 522
ASRock H110M-HDV - RM 260
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
Zotac GTX1050Ti 4GB GDDR5 Mini - RM 729
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 234
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169
Tecware F3 - RM 119

Total: RM 2507 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Those games you mentioned do take advantage of the extra cores, so yea i5 will give you a more stable frame rate and gaming experience.

thanks for the advice
maybe i'll reuse my 1tb hdd from my old pc to save some budget for the i5
then i5 7400 should be ok rite?
do i need to change the psu and mobo that u suggested earlier to cater for the cpu?

The earlier suggested mobos are all socket 1151 so, no need to change.
