Will use Haswell (4th gen) instead of Skylake (6th gen) due to budget issue.

Little over budget, hopefully you are ok with it 

As for speaker, just grab those cheap one like Edifier M1250 (~RM 40).

my friend say thank you to u

one more question

is it worth to get the new skylake xeon e3 series instead of skylake i7 for gaming?
last few year ago , i see ppl are recommend the xeon processor , is it worth to go for skylake xeon series if i dont OC. is it still the same performance as i7?

Yes, the Xeon E3 1230 V5 is basically a lower clock speed of i7 6700 (same base clock but different boost clock) and no iGPU (not a problem if you have dedicated GPU), but unfortunately Skylake Xeon E3 is not released here yet.

If you can wait then it is worth the wait but of course you need to top up some money in order to upgrade to Xeon CPU from i5.

Hi bros, looking to get a new graphics card to mainly play some CSGO

Budget: 200-300(?)

Current setup:
Intel Core i3 4150
Asus H81M-K
DDR3 1600Mhz 4GB RAM
WD Blue 500GB HDD
Powerlogic Xenon Graphite 7 Casing
Dell E228WFP 22-inch

Looking for something thats not super expensive, worth it for the price and can run CSGO decently

"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.

Clear explanation, if get 500 more, what will you recommend?

starting from skylake, the LGA 1151 chipsets dont support Xeon anymore... need to use "server" grade chipsets C236

Previously I was holding back from buying as I was also waiting for Xeon E3-1200 v5... but then after the long wait...     

LGA1151 is socket, Z170/H170/B150/H110 is Skylake chipset, Xeon is also using LGA1151 socket but only C236 Skylake chipset is supported.

What a sad news, Intel fixed the "exploit"

Kingston 4gb 1333mhz budget ram
1TB WD caviar blue HDD
Sapphire HD7850 2GB MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G

So yea I'm gonna shop for parts this weekend. May I know if this combination is cheapest skylake build already?
