If mainly for gaming, no need to go for overclockable rig, spend the money on GPU and other parts better.


anything to max out budget ? rm6500

At the end of the day(if main purpose is gaming), what determine 99% of your FPS are just 3 things(cpu, gpu, ram). So make sure you pick these 3 core items correctly, while for the remaining parts you can use any choices u like

Building a budget rig..

Thanks a lot! Just want to know whether the graphic card can support games that I've stated in my post? As the graphic card is way cheaper than the one I pick.

Thanks again!

Of course different sellers will give you different quotes because price and product range/choice (either they want to clear out old stocks or they don't carry the item listed) are different, 6.5k budget is a huge budget and it can get you a very nice build if you know how ot maximize it.

If you want to follow exactly the items listed, just go to the shop I listed below since the items and prices are based on their pricelist, no more troubles and brain hurts, settle

You picked this in your original post



I don't see GTX750Ti is more expensive than a GTX960, GTX750Ti is around RM 600+ for MSI/Gigabyte brand, Zotac GTX960 is RM 899 (the one I picked).

GTX960 is twice the performance of GTX750Ti.

may I know what do I need to re consider if I also want to buy OS?

Downgrade certain hardware so you can include an OS in the budget.

I am not sure which OS you want so I am not going to include here (price is different for each OS version), you can do the adjustment yourself to keep everything within your budget.

You can downgrade the parts to following (choose the one you would like to downgrade):

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 839
MSI H110M Pro-VH - RM 329
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 ITX - RM 849

I might want to buy windows 7.
So, what it should be then?

If you buy from retail or physical store, Windows 7 OEM key is around RM 200+/-, so I will just leave extra RM 200 for the OS.

MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 399
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200

Oh thanks !
But I just realized that my MOBO supports only 1 cpu cooler (4pin) and 1 system fan (4pin). I would like to have all fans installed if possible, what should I do?
(so it would be 2 front, 1 top, 1 rear and 1 for cpu)

You can buy the 3 pin fan to molex converter

Many ways to solve this:

1. 3 pin fan to molex (as mentioned by st4Lk3rz), if your casing fan is PWM type (4 pin) then you will lost the ability to control the speed of the fan.

2. Buy casing fan splitter cable.

3. Buy casing fan power hub like NZXT Grid Ten.

Just checked out NZXT Grid Ten. It's RM 82 for it.

But it can power up to 10 casing fans, it is nice if you have a full tower and want to put 10 casing fans with LED strip to show off your rig

I think NZXT Grid Ten will be too much for me (using CM N200 m-atx case), i just need to be able to run 4 casing fans + 1 cpu cooler. So which alternative is better? (molex or fan splitter cable)
P.S: I don't even know how those works

Either one also can. But make you sure you cable manage nicely for it to look nice.

Molex converter directly connects the fan to PSU, which means the fan will run at full speed, might a little bit noisy if you are sleeping beside the rig.

While fan splitter splits the mobo fan pin connector to 2 or 3, which means the fan is indirectly connecting to the mobo which you still can alter the fan speed if needed.

Okay" thanks, I don't like lots of cables, will there be a lot of cables if I just go with NZXT Grid Ten?
Another question is, should I use high static pressure fan or airflow fan for intake and exhaust (casing)? Any notable 15 mm fans? (my case specs for top)
