Is the gtx 960 a better choice than 970?
*edited*

Not by a long shot. It's expensive for the performance it does. GTX970 instead.

Hello there. I'm a newbie here, need some suggestion to build my mini itx pc. Already got monitor(23") and casing (Fractal Design Node 304). My main purpose is for Photoshop, Movies, and Games (Low graphic games actually, just FIFA and Counter Strike) but I'm willingly to spent more on graphic cards and ram.

After briefly done my research, I just want that:
i5
HDD 1TB
WiFi

Heard that ASUS motherboard is great, but I dont know, you guys surely knows better than me, right?

Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

p/s: My budget is just around RM1.4K++

Tough budget for ITX. How about these?

Core i5-4460 - RM619
Asrock B85M-ITX motherboard - RM289
Kingston 4GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM129
WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM179
Antec VP500 power supply - RM149
WIFI USB dongle - RM20

RM1385 total (Viewnet prices)

I guess you have to live with crappy FPS for 1080p with built-in GPU.

Try Sapphire R7 265 2GB DDR5 Dual-X at RM529. That's bare minimum for DirectX 11 1080p gaming. Also, Asrock H97M-ITX/ac has built-in wifi but it is priced at RM349.

TristanX, where can you find Asrock H97N ITX/ac for 349? I asked most of them offering around 365 - 369…

Besides, gigabyte h97N WiFi and asrock's. Both has minor difference and I can go any brand I like right?
*
Yeah, there is price hike due to US dollar. It was 349.

That's up to you for the brand.

Thanks a lot for the help to fill in the blanks in advance  smile.gif

i5-4690K (RM819) is not worth it. It is at the price of Xeon E3-1231 V3(RM829) which is slightly underclocked i7. And if you not gonna OC the i5, even worse

I suggest going for these instead

Xeon E3-1231 V3 - RM829
Coolermaster Hyper 212X - RM149
Asrock H97 Pro4 motherboard - RM329
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM249

WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM179
Gainward GTX970 4GB DDR5 - RM1099 (from Idealtech or lingloong)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] prefer 24

Thanks for the input!!
Btw so its possible to run two disks at the same time?
I mean like SSD and HDD together at once. the main thing is the SSD right (where the OS is located)?  ohmy.gif and I can save most of my files or works to the HDD. And may I know what is the maximum ram I can add up to? 16gb? 8x2 or can I put more slots in.  notworthy.gif  Thanks so much.

If lets say I really go with this rig, in the far future Im still able to do upgrades right, like the GPU for example (Just need to check the compability?)  ohmy.gif
*
Yes, you can.

The motherboard has 4 RAM slots. Recommended RAM is already 8GB x2.

As for the GPU upgrades, it depends on what you are buying. Add RM80 for 620W power supply if you want more room for GPU upgrades.
