For office use, mainly running accounting software. No need overclock CPU or motherboard.

1. Will 4gb ram be enough to future proof at least 3 to 5 yrs or so?

2. Is G series processor good enough or should try to get i5 these days?

3. What wattage PSU to get? What are some reliable brands or models that can last at least 5 years?

4. What motherboard to use which is very durable for 5 yrs and has all in one graphics, lan, sound, usb3, or even with wifi? Asus, Intel or gigabyte?

5. Should assemble in funan or sim lim? Any recommended shop name?

1. For mainly running accounting software, 4GB good enough. Preferably 1600 C11 G.Skill Value Ram 4GB

2. G3220/G3240 processor can already. i5 is just a waste.

3. Seasonic S12G 450 for top performance :)

4. If you want reliability Gigabyte H81M-S2PV. If you just want it to be cheap ASRock H81M-DGS. Can't vouch for reliability on those but anything happen the shop will help you settle

5. PC Themes. No exception.

Also, For HDD 1TB Toshiba combine that with a CoolerMaster N200

I doubt u can feel the difference.

Of course need cooler. The heat wont dissipate on its own. At least a heatsink is required.

The boxed processor includes a stock cooler. You do not have to spend additional money to buy a separate one. So just install it.

That's why I suggest Seasonic S12G 450 lo ... 5 year warranty, 80 Plus Gold. What else can you ask for?
