I used their tax filing help last year and found it really clear and quick. They broke stuff down in simple terms and were fast to respond when I had questions.

I ran into something similar before and ended up getting most of my gear from https://mineshop.eu/. They had solid options already in stock, and shipping to Malaysia was faster than I expected. If you're unsure about compatibility, you can ping them—they were pretty responsive when I had questions about whether a specific PSU matched my setup. Prices were okay too compared to some other sites I checked.
