It would be much easier if you could give your desired specs first, but anyway:

CPU: Ryzen 3400g (RM700)
Mobo: Asrock B450M Pro4 (RM350)
RAM: Kingston HyperX 3200Mhz (8GB x 2) (~RM350 - price fluctuating now)
SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB (<RM350)
PSU: FSP Hydro Gold (<RM400)
Casing: Tecware Forge M (if you don't care about dust) (RM150)
GPU: Not sure what light gaming is... but let's say Zotac GTX 1660 Super (RM1.2k)

i7 will destroy your pc budget because it is too expensive and given your usage, there is no need for i7. Also intel motherboards tend to be more expensive and not compatible for older generation processors.

usually the go to place for this pc is IdealTech, Netstoreconomy, LingLoong (Dotatech IT), racun tech, and many more. There are some shops that it is not mentioned here offer secondhand pc parts that you might be able to upgrade your pc for better performance for the same price.

a 1.5k desktop is hard to achieve. can't actually get super good specs with it. you can search it on lazada or shopee. just have to know the keywords.

like for your budget is around ryzen 3400g with 8gb of ram with a non modular psu with a a320m motherboard.
