"a i7 few core"? Not fully understand, I assume you mean do we need i7 if only gaming.

Well, it depends on your budget, if budget allows, surely the i7 is more future proof, we have seen quite a few latest titles are using the extra threads of i7 already, for example Fallout 4 and the currently most CPU demanding single player game, AC: Syndicate.

I tested AC: Syndicate on i5 4460 and i7 6700K, it turned out that i5 is somehow suffering from CPU bottleneck, CPU usage is constantly 90% and above for all cores, sometimes it even hit 100% for all cores, this causes issues like mouse lag/delay. This could be a poor optimization from Ubisoft (they are well known for poor PC port afterall ), but rest assured, open world games tend to draw more CPU power compared to other genre games.

If you are more towards this type of games, get an i7 is highly encouraged.

Your budget can fit i5 + GTX960/R9 380 at most, running max graphics settings with this GPU with mostly yield < 60 FPS, medium/high settings is more FPS friendly, of course they can run max/ultra settings, but you might face unstable FPS and screen tearing.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 876
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 399
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 ZT-90306-10M - RM 840
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
Seasonic M12II EVO 520W - RM 349
Bitfenix NOVA - RM 149

Total: RM 3038 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

[Budget] 1.5-2k lower better

[Purpose] Playing League of legends

[Hardwares that will be re-use] none

[Monitor resolution] 20"?

Rig local shop suggest to me,
I5 6500
Msi z170A krait gaming
Gtx 960 4gb
1tb hdd
2133mhz 8gb ram
Thermaltake evo blue 2.0 650w

Want to ask whether above psu a good psu?

Why go for a Z170 motherboard when your CPU is locked. Typical shop wanting to squeeze money.

State your budget and usage. We can come out with something better and worth it.

Sorry. Not expert in pc building. cpu locked? Meaning cannot do over clock?

Yes CPU locked means not able to OC the CPU.

Z170 is only needed when you have a K processor, which is an unlock CPU. Eg; Intel i5 6600K.

State your budget and we can come out with something for you

As st4Lk3rz said, no need Z170, H170 is fine or even B150 ones are enough without extra features you might not use.

GTX 960 4GB??? Everywhere I look in lelong, this is 1k to 1.1k, definitely not a good choice when R9 380X 4GB is just RM 1140. Or you can go with a normal GTX 960 2GB, RM 830, and the money saved, get a HyperX Fury 120GB for RM 217.30.

Try to get a Seasonic PSU, like SeaSonic Power Supply S12G GOLD 650W (S12G-650) EM 466.40 or Seasonic Power Supply M12II BRONZE 620W (SS-620GM2) RM 381.60.

Make it cheapest possible for you (Intel build).

Intel Pentium G3250 - RM 239
ASRock H81M-VG4 - RM 219
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 189
Sapphire R7 250 2GB GDDR5 Boost - RM 349
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 400W - RM 129
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139
BenQ GW2255 - RM 409

Total: RM 1892 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Hi.

seem like good price.

need suggestion also.
need a pc with RM1.6k max budget.
for home pc, surfing, n school work
i think intergrated graphic shud work rite?

thanks so much.
and is it possible to get same price @ penang
or u suggest ordering part from viewnet?
i can do the assembly also

items in penang can try to get from a forumer named hikari85

good pricing ?

yeah it is. one of the famous penang sellers.

can view her topics for your reference.

https://forum.lowyat.net/user/hikari85

If strictly no gaming, then iGPU is enough.

If you want to get from Penang, you can try GTech or hikari85 in Garage Sales (both operated by same person), but price and product range might be different.

If you are going to order parts from Klang Valley area, you can try Techview, ETech, Idealtech, DotaTech etc, Viewnet is not doing delivery/courier service if I am not mistaken.

Intel Pentium G3250 - RM 235
Asus H81M-K - RM 240
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 169
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 155
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139
BenQ GW2255 - RM 390

Total: RM 1543 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If you want to cut cost, you can get a cheap casing which includes with PSU, but the PSU included is quite crappy though, i.e AVF Extremo 161 (RM 98 only) and use the extra funds to upgrade to i3 4160 for better and faster operation/multitasking.

ah. okay2
already pm her with item suggested above.
( is tat a complete pc already? )

whatever that was quoted by Terrence is already a completed PC.

just lacking mouse/keyboard and speakers.

ah. ok2
thanks mate

btw.. the new pentium with skylake already here rite?

Yes.

But take note if you are going to pair Skylake with DDR3 RAM, it will cause damage to memory controller due to higher voltage of DDR3 RAM according to reports.

To bear the risk or not is up to you.

Yes it has but do take note going for Skylake would cost more.

The cheapest Skylake Pentium processor I found on lelong is already about RM290.

This would also mean you need to change your Mobo and also your Ram

Thanks bro for the help
