Hi folks, I have been using laptops for years now and this will be my first proper PC build. Will be using it just like I would on a laptop but with more power and changeability down the road.

B][Budget] RM3000

[Purpose] Browsing, gaming, and basic computing

[Hardwares that will be re-use] No idea

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Chrome, Steam, and Microsoft Office.

[Personal preferences] Possible to build small form factor with this kind of budget?

[Location] Penang

Not bad. I think can stretch abit more budget for i5.

CS:GO, Rocket League, Tomb Raider series, Need For Speed. I just want to play Low-Medium with stable framerates. Gaming laptop heats up way too fast.

Nice. Think can be lower as I already have keyboard and mouse. Also headphones.

Okay. Duly noted.

So should I first hunt for a case? Then motherboard? Or can buy parts at random order? Afraid of compatibility issues.

Nice. Quoted for future reference.

What about WiFi card and sound card? Are those built-in on the motherboard?
