if gtx 970 change with r9 390

Yup sure go ahead, the PSU can support.

MSI R9 390 8GB GDDR5 Gaming - RM 1539
PowerColor R9 390 8GB GDDR5 PCS+ - RM 1547
Sapphire R9 390 8GB GDDR5 Nitro - RM 1560
Gigabyte R9 390 8GB GDDR5 G1 Gaming - RM 1569
Asus R9 390 8GB GDDR5 Strix Direct CU-3 - RM 1629

But if you are going to play Fallout 4, watch out for that because AMD card runs poorer than Nvidia card, mostly due to Nvidia Gameworks, and other titles with Gameworks will have this issue also.

Hi, me again, still haven't build the rig. Want to save more cash so can built more powerful rig. End of year will be building one.

New rig. Budget rm4000-rm4500. Pure gaming. Want to try latest games. 1080p above.

Already got monitor, mouse, keyboard.

If can fit with latest i5 or i7 Skylake and Gtx970 will be nice.

Small Form Factor. For mobility. I travel quite a lot.

Thank you all.

Hey I need a new build. I'll be leaving my old one to my parents.

My budget is below 3.5k. I don't play high spec games, just Dota 2 and CSGO. The only parts which I can reuse is my mouse and keyboard.

I prefer a 120hz monitor btw. An Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU.

I plan to get it by early February.
*
Price and hardware choice will be different by next year so this is just a reference.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 499
ASRock B150M-HDV D4 - RM 399
GSKill NT 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 249
Palit GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Reference OC - RM 939
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Bitfenix NOVA - RM 149
BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz - RM 1199 / Acer XB240H 144Hz - RM 1199

Total: RM 3848 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST)

As you can see, the monitor alone is already costing you RM 1199, so you will have to sacrifice other parts to cover up the cost, and this rig is over your budget by nearly RM 400. You can downgrade the GPU to GTX750Ti but I don't think it can push 144Hz in CS:GO/Dota 2 all the time at max settings, unless you are ok with medium settings.

Edit: Correction on CPU model.

Hey guys. I'm building my first ever gaming PC. I'd like your opinion on the components I've chosen after a whole day of research.

CPU | Intel Core i5-4690K
CPU Cooler | Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard | Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150
Memory | Kingston HyperX Fury 4GBx2
Storage | Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card | Palit/Gainward/Zotac Nvidia GTX 970 (Can't really decide yet)
Case | Corsair 200R ATX
PSU | COOLER MASTER V550 / Super Flower Leadex Silver 650W / THERMALTAKE TOUGHPOWER 650W (can't decide)

I don't plan on going any higher than 1080p/60fps but still want max details so please comment and give suggestions especially if there are better and cheaper alternatives.

I haven't really set a budget yet. I'd like to see where this goes and cut down from there if it seems overkill.

Thanks.

You picked last gen CPU which is almost similar cost as current gen CPU, any reason? Or you've forgotten Skylake laugh.gif

I did consider the 6600k but then I'd need a 1151 motherboard. Does a 1151 mobo fully support DDR3 RAM? Will there be any drawbacks to the other hardware I've chosen by getting a 1151 mobo?

I have almost zero knowledge about building a gaming PC until the last past 12 hours or so of googling on building a gaming PC. So please advise..

Do you mean you already bought the RAM? If haven't, then you can just change it in the list right?

Other parts can retain if you upgrade to Skylake, no issue there.

Guys, do you think RM1500 is sufficient to build a gaming rig to withstand games like CS:GO and DotA 2?

Can someone list me a build, please?

Also, HDD, power supply & PC casing is not needed as I already have them.

Do you have monitor?

Very tight to squeeze in all the parts with 3.5K budget especially with monitor and SSD included, hope you are ok with the minor over budget, if cannot, downgrade the i5 to i5 6400 and you can save roughly RM 80.

Both are about the same, but Zotac is offering extended 5 years warranty for most of their cards.

Yes. Only need specifications for the rig, excluding the items I've stated. Speakers, headphones, mouse, keyboard & monitor are all already owned.

I am assuming your PSU can support GTX750 (at least 300W).

Nope. I haven't bought anything yet. I read that Intel warned about using DDR3 with Skylake can damage the processor. Skylake only officially supports DDR3L. I'd go DDR4 but still too expensive.
*
Not sure your "too expensive" range is how much, if upgrade to Skylake based on your current selection, it would be,

Intel Core i5 4690K (RM 1059) vs Intel Core i5 6600K (RM 1059)
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI (RM 595) vs Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI (RM 709)
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz (RM 220) vs Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz (RM 289)

CPU same price, mobo + RAM need top up RM 183.

RM 183 is totally acceptable for me since I'll get latest technology, platform and the improvements by going Skylake.

For real?! I'm getting the wrong price reference then. 😛

Fine. Skylake it is then. Now a question of i5 or i7. i7 may not be very beneficial for gaming but I'm also interested in going 60fps watching movies. Will i7 be worth it?
*
If you have extra funds, i7 is worth to get, more games are using the extra threads of i7 now, an example would be Fallout 4, it uses multithreading of i7 pretty well.

Watching 60 FPS movie doesn't require i7 btw, i3 is possible already unless I misinterpret your statement smile.gif

Missed a word there. I meant what MoBo would you recommend. SLi capable would be nice or do you think a single GPU setup is good enough.
*
ASRock Z170 Extreme 4, around RM 800, single GPU setup is quite good already for 1080p 60FPS gaming (assuming you go for GTX970/R9 390 or higher), SLI requires a capable PSU and not to mention not all games are able to run at SLI mode due to lack of SLI support.

Rig 1.0

Memory | Kingston HyperX Fury 4GBx2
Storage | Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Rig 1.1
CPU | Intel Core i7-6700
CPU Cooler | Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard | Asrock Z170 Extreme 4
Memory | Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb DDR4
Storage | Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card | Palit/Gainward/Zotac Nvidia GTX 970 (Can't really decide yet)
Case | Corsair 200R ATX
PSU | COOLER MASTER V550

So how much for these 2 builds?
*
First one around 4.5k, second one around 5.1k (I assume the i7 is 6700K, if you aren't going for it, no need to pick the Z170 mobo, go for B150/H170 instead).

If purely gaming, no need to go for oc build, not much performance improvements over non-oc build, you can save up to RM 500 by going non-oc build.

PSU can also switch to Seasonic M12II EVO 520W/620W to save cost.

If the case is fixed, meaning you really want it badly, then you have to prepare more funds for it, if not then you can just get cheaper case to save cost.

[Location] Kuala Lumpur
Hi and good morning senpais. I would like to get some suggestions in building PC..

Mainly I just want to build a PC where I can play in high setting (not ultra high) games as stated..
I don't play those console-like game..Only online MMORPG games.
I guess I don't need to spend much for the PC to achieve high setting and have a good FPS (no crispy when playing with
many people and recording)

Currently I am playing with my laptop..Having 20FPS averagely is..tearing me apart.

Also I like to use two monitors to separate game and browsing. If needed, I can squeeze a  few hundred RM if it is necessary (up to +RM500)

Thank you sifus and senpais.
Cheers! thumbup.gif

*bold words are my focus area  notworthy.gif

256GB SSD isn't cheap, it will take 20% of your available budget and I'll go for Haswell due to budget unable to fit Skylake.

Intel Core i3 4160 - RM 500
Asus H81M-K - RM 229
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM - RM 220
Gainward GTX750Ti 2GB Golden Sample - RM 579
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 409
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139

Total: RM 2490 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Fraps kills FPS sometimes, you can consider switching to Nvidia ShadowPlay for recording.
