thank you Terence smile.gif

one more question
is my PSU ok for this rig? or should I change it? because my PSU is almost 4 years old

No need to change if it is still working and your PSU is totally fine to run this spec.

its still working fine so far , I scare aging PSU will cause the output unstable(just my though) and will spoil the hardware.

anyway thanks for your suggestion and advise.

I was wondering what different with the ram with that speeds of 2133MHz, 2400MHz, 2666MHz?? is they all same ?

If you are worried about old PSU issue, you can think of changing to a better quality one like Seasonic PSU which can last for quite a long time. But for the time being, you can just reuse it and change it only if the new system is not working well with old PSU (like random reboot/shutdown/other kind of weird issues etc.).

The base frequency/speed of DDR4 RAM is 2133MHz, anything beyond 2133MHz is considered as overclocking and you will need a compatible mobo such as Z170 chipset mobo to take advantage of this feature. Faster speed will have faster operation speed but in real life usage, it is very hard to notice the difference unless you benchmark them. So just stick with 2133MHz if you aren't getting Z170 mobo because even if you get a super highly overclocked 3200MHz DDR4 RAM on H170/B150/H110 chipset mobo, you will only stuck at 2133MHz too due to chipset limitation.

RM 500 is impossible to build anything, the cheapest new CPU already costs RM 200 and no new CPU/mobo is using DDR2 RAM anymore so it is impossible unless you look for used item in Garage Sales.

But still budget is very low sweat.gif

If you are planning to adopt to latest technology and hardware, you need to abandon that DDR2 RAM and get DDR3/DDR4 RAM.

So minimum should be around RM 1.5K without monitor for entry level rig.

If you are a gamer and would like to play latest games at stable frame rate, I would suggest you to save at least RM 2K, the more the better of course.
