Can maybe opt a i3 since budget allows..

G3240 + h97 board is useless man, get I3 + h81 board

Only cost $65 from ASUS H81I-PLUS for a H97 chipset and Intel Wireless-AC 7260 card. What's not to go after...

Oh with wifi ac then ok la , never see properly

Can go I5, but must push a bit and bargain more.

let say if i take this build with a i5 4460 with increase budget
and maybe i might add a gfx later next time

CASE+PSU: In Win BM650 [Black] + Powerman IP-AD180-2 180W Flex ATX [80 Plus Bronze] @ $109

should i opt for other casing + higher psu?

If your intention is to do more power demanding tasks in the future then you should opt for bigger chassis.
