Better MoBo and PSU and not an overpriced HDD.

Usage first?

pure gaming

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 895
MSI B150M Bazooka - RM 399
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 289
Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1345
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 229

If cannot accept overbudget, I recommend to drop the SSD first and get it after you have enough money later.

first time heard b150m bazooka
ok2 mayb I find some extra cash for the ssd, tq terence!

HI Minecrafter,

Thanks for your recommendation. Say if im gonna use this pc more towards gaming and entertainment would the would the AMD+RADEON be a better choice judging on it's price and performance output? So by replacing the MOBO, CPU, GPU, PSI and ram reduction will the spec below serve better for gaming?

X8-FX8320E 8 core 3.5GHz RM599
MSI-970A-G43 RM334
POWER COLOR PCS+ R9 380 4GB GDDR5 RM889
Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM199
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM219
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 169
Corsair Carbide Spec-03 RM219.42
CM Hyper TX3 Evo RM94.34
Viewsonic VA2246 RM369

Total:RM3,091.76

Intel leads in gaming industry now due to poor single threaded performance of AMD CPU, so just stay with Intel build.

Hi terence,

Appreciate your advice, so if I aim solely for gaming and entertainment which CPU and MOBO are recommended for matching the GPU?

By judging on your budget, it is possible to fit an i5.

Either Haswell or Skylake is ok, Skylake is more expensive (+ RM 250 for DDR4 based mobo + DDR4 RAM).

If want to save money and don't care about generation or technology, i5 4460 + H81/B85 mobo will do.

honestly..should we care?

will there be any diff if the clock is same at 4.0ghz?

Are you comparing Intel vs AMD at 4GHz or Haswell vs Skylake at 4GHz?

Guys, can you recommend me specs for a PC for RM2000?

Aiming for a gaming rig.

On the side note, is the BenQ EW2440L a good monitor to be used for gaming?

You can visit mr benq's thread for more details. EW2440L is not categorized as gaming monitor but it'll work fine for gaming.

Just like how I use Dell U2414H for gaming. As long as you see if, it's all good.

Clock for Clock

Intel Skylake faster than Intel Haswell.

Intel faster than AMD.

Hi guys,

Need to your advice again before I commit to anything

[cool.gif [Budget] RM 2200

[Purpose] Work and gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] HDD, Monitor

[Monitor resolution] My current monitor is only 720p, but I'm keeping it for now. Might wanna upgrade sometime later

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Warframe, Photoshop; Would like to be able to play GTA V, Witcher 3, MGS V with decent performance

[Personal preferences] can I get an i5 and a GTX 960 with this budget? Open to other GPU recommendations, but I'd like to at least have the i5

[Location] KL

My advice is dont get AMD..AMD and Intel rig not much different in price..for AMD, you must get aftermarket cooler, there at least you need to spend another 100-200 or higher if you opt for water cooling..

AMD X8-FX8320E vs Intel Core i5 4460..different around RM200+..but the performance for Intel is better and you no need aftermarket cooler..so you make your calculation..

Guys, I'm planning on building a PC rig.

My budget is around RM2000
Usage is mainly for gaming
I need suggestion on whether the stuff I'd be using back is compatible or not.

HDD is fine, I have 4TB worth of HDD.
I have a CoolerMaster 650W
ASUS P5KPL-AM

Stuff such as Wireless card, mouse, keyboard & speakers not necessary. Already have them.

Anyone who could help me with suggesting a rig build for me would highly be appreciated.

Note: The most graphical demanding game I play is Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
