little advice, dont get stuck up with branding.

you can focus cooling mainly on the case, cause other parts doesnt really need 3rd party cooling.
good airflow within the case, pretty sure parts inside is "happy". air 540 is a case with good air flow.

need suggestion for new gpu..
with 500rm budget..
can add few buck if needed

this is my spec..




i wish to play
-dota ultra setting
-h1z1
-sims4
-cod

Err, 2k for a new proc, mobo, gpu and psu and ram?

And max setting on 1600 x 900 right?

Seems pretty tight.

And do you want to play Dota 2 or are you preparing for Dota 2 Reborn that will be coming out sometime in the near future? If yes, you might need to spend more for the new game later.

What engineering softwares do you use?AutoCAD?

Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM769
Asrock H81M-VG4 RM209
Leadtek GTX750 OC 2GB GDDR5 RM499
Kingston Value RAM 1x8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM189
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM219
FSP Hexa+ 550W RM199
Total:RM2084
Prices are from Viewnet@LYP.

It's not tight.

for max 2.5k budget...is it possible to get i7 6700k + mobo + ddr4 ram?

[Budget] RM2500
[Purpose]purely gaming
[Hardwares that will be re-use]everything else.
[Monitor resolution]1080p
[Games & software that use frequently] all recent games.
[Personal preferences]hand itchy to get the 6700k...

Bro,budget of 2.5K is impossible to get a rig with i7 6700K + Good Z170 Mobo + DDR4 RAM. Same goes to i7 4790K.

Or you're only getting those 3 parts? *CPU,MoBo and RAM*

yes.

only those 3.

Minor over budget, but still acceptable I think

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1476
ASRock Z170 Extreme 4 - RM 810
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 269

Total: RM 2555 (E-tech price inclusive of GST)

You need to find a cooler for this i7 because it doesn't come with Intel HSF (stock cooler), so if you don't have any cooler available now then you need to expand your budget

Hello all, can you please help me on rig recommendation included keyboard,mouse,monitor and small speaker as well? Here's the details

[Budget] 1500 ~ 1700

[Purpose] Normal Task for secondary school student + some gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] No

[Monitor resolution] not small than 21"

Thanks all for helping

Hi all, appreciate any suggestion given.

[Budget] Less than 3k

[Purpose] Moderate gaming, movies and work

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor (1920 x 1080)

[Monitor resolution] Nil.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, blade & soul, auto cad, Final Fantasy XIII & XIII 2, Final Fantasy Type 0

[Personal preferences] Intel & Nvdia.

With the budget allowed is it possible to get a I5 with DDR4 and GTX 970?

Not sure what game you are going to play, if it is basic and casual game then iGPU which comes with the CPU should be enough.

Skylake i5 (DDR4) + GTX970 requires at least 3.5K.

This is Haswell i5 + GTX970 build, slightly more than 3K. If you don't mind going to few shops to hunt for the cheapest items, then you can probably lower down the cost to nearly 3K by maintaining this specs, but then it requires time and energy, as well as petrol and toll fees if you drive, choice is yours

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 795
Asus H81M-K - RM 229
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM - RM 220
Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1325
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139

Total: RM 3122 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If want to keep below 3K, downgrade the GPU to GTX960 (cheapest is RM 799), the rest of the budget can be used for Skylake i5 (DDR4) if you want.

DOTA 2 Reborn is already been out. Sadly, my laptop could not support the upgraded graphics.
Soo, I'm thinking of getting a desktop instead.

Nope, not Autocad. More onto MATLAB.
Are there any other suggestions ?
RM 2094 still can can la give or take few 100s .
And oh the all of the chassis are the same right ? I mean in terms of hardware compartments .

Not the same, there are 3 mainstream form factors in the market, ATX, mATX and mITX.

Common one is ATX, a full size standard ATX mobo for maximum RAM/PCI-E slots and other features, normally ranked 2nd cheapest option to build a rig.

Next one is mATX, m stands for micro, it is smaller than ATX, some mATX comes with 2 RAM slots, some are 4 RAM slots, cheapest in the market (for low end mobo).

Last one is mITX, m stands for mini. Smallest mobo you can find in normal consumer market but it is expensive due to its size and production factor. Only comes with 2 RAM slots and 1 PCI-E slots, some mid/high end mITX boards have another 1 mini PCI-E slots for WiFi/Bluetooth adapter.

Yours is mATX mobo but the case is ATX. ATX can fit all 3 form factors.

my rig

GeForce GT620
i3 2120 3.30GHz
Gigabyte H61M-S2P
4gb RAM
GIgabyte 420W
23inch monitor.

guys, i wanted to change my GPU.
is it possible to get some better GPU compatible with my rig above?
i need full resolution 1900x1080(max setting) ; DOTA2...

is sapphire r7 250 boost RM 349 good?
or sapphire r7 250x RM 379
