Alright thanks. Never been a follower on the PSU front, only know Corsair/CM but once I got to know Seasonic seems like it is in a class of its own.

Can suggest me a spec able to support software for 3D animation?
Budget around 2.5k

I assume it is for Autodesk 3DS MAX and Maya?

Popular choice you guys keep recommending - FSP Power Supply
RM180 - 1 year warranty
FSP Power Supply HEXA+ Series 550W (HEXA+ 550)

Hydance power by Seasonic - price similar + longer warranty
3 year warranty - woot woot!!
Seasonic HY500CT - RM 170
Seasonic HY600CT - RM191
http://www.lelong.com.my/seasonic-hy600ct-...7-01-Sale-I.htm

Which is better Hydance or FSP?
The real Seasonic is more expensive

The low power Hydance is made by Seasonic, > 400 isn't.

If warranty is a concern, Hydance unit is more ideal.

Hi there,

Can anyone suggest me pc that price lower than rm2500?
include normal monitor. This pc just normal use only.
Thanks.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 792
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 409
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 289
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 400W - RM 155
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139
BenQ GL2460 - RM 499

Total: RM 2508 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Not sure what you meant by "normal use", if your normal use is basic web browsing, watch movie/video, some job tasks, then 1.5K is enough actually, this build is just to max out your budget.

Just some basic web browsing and watch movie/video.
So if the budget 2500 can't include the graphic card and monitor also?

Based on your usage, the internal GPU of the processor is enough, no need to get dedicated low end GPU, it won't give any performance improvement.

A 24 inch BenQ monitor is included in the build just in case you missed it

Let say if this rig for multimedia purpose and sometime play some game like d2 it that still no need graphic card?

If it is also for gaming then yes, you need a dedicated GPU, but you never state it in the beginning so I didn't include it.

Updated the build.

i strongly recomend u this build, for minimum

Not sure whether this is the right place to ask but the monitor thread seems a little dead for my liking.

Am in a little dilemma now.

I have 2 23" Dell monitors, capable of displaying full HD.

I'm thinking whether should I go for another 23" Dell or a 27" curved Dell monitor?

Budget's around MYR 1,000 but it could be upgraded at moment's notice. Just rather keep it to lowest since MYR's not rising fast enough currently.

Thanks!

Sidenote : It's unlikely I'll use 3 of them for gaming. It's more for productivity where I can open multiple excel sheets and watch my youtube and drama on the other screen.

2. My GPU has no issues displaying 3 monitors.

3. Would prefer the Dell as it has built in speakers. I don't have any external speakers.

can i know what is the differences between PALIT GTX 950 StormX 2GB DDR5 128BIT(1190/6610) and Gainward GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Reference.

GTX 960 vs R9 380

Seems GTX 960 RM800 is a very popular choice
-120W

R9 380 is faster and prices very similar RM805
http://www.lelong.com.my/sapphire-r9-380-2...5-12-Sale-P.htm
-faster then GTX 960
-190W

Why not recomend R9 380 instead? getting a slightly bigger PSU at extra +70W is probably worth it.

That increase is enough to put the 380 ahead of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 960 in just about every one of our benchmarks at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. Here’s the thing, though—in some games, you might get away with playable frame rates on QHD displays. We’re still saying these boards are better for 1080p though, particularly if you insist on cranking up the detail settings like we do.

The GeForce is a more efficient card, and is only rated for 120W to the Radeon’s 190W. But at the same $190 street price, AMD does play value to its benefit more effectively, scoring our recommendation this month.

R9 270 - RM 543
R7 370 - RM 615
GTX 950 - RM 700
GTX 960 - RM 800
R9 380 - RM 805

Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 950 employs the company’s GM206 GPU—the same one found in GeForce GTX 960. It turns some of the processor’s resources off though (two SMMs, to be exact), resulting in a configuration of 768 CUDA cores, 48 texture units and 32 ROPs.

GTX 950 is expensive in malaysia >RM700+

R7 370 starts from RM615 performs below GTX 950

http://www.lelong.com.my/zotac-gtx-950-2gb...6-08-Sale-P.htm
http://www.lelong.com.my/sapphire-r7-370-2...5-12-Sale-P.htm


Then again the old R9 270 is cheap still - RM 543
performs similar to the R7 370
http://www.lelong.com.my/powercolour-r9-27...5-10-Sale-P.htm


I think better buy
R9 270 RM 543 or R7 370 RM615
skip the GTX 950 upgrade to
GTX 960 RM800 or R9 380 RM805

comments and feedback is appreciated on my analysis
I am aware of ATI consumes more power, for me buying a larger psu is cheap then getting a more expensive graphics card

I am going to build a machine to run only GTS V
right now I have settle on 260x as its cheap RM430 and performs similar to 750 ti - RM 570
which does 60fps at fhd

maybe I would upgrade to a R9 270 since its only RM543 cheaper and faster then 750 ti

AMD's Radeon + i3 not a good match at least not to run GTA V not sure if it will apply to D2.
Currently looking PC to run GTA V and though you guys might be interested.

look at the graphs below link, better to get a GTX 750 ti for the same price
else get an i5, seems not much difference for i7 in GTA V

I would think D2 would not be as intense as GTA V, and a less graphics card probably do the job.
Have to google for to find out.

At this point, it's no real secret that Nvidia's driver eats up less processor time than the AMD equivalent - something that's crucially important on lower-end PCs with less capable CPUs. This is important. AMD's Radeon R9 270X is an excellent card - almost 40 per cent more powerful in GTA 5 than the GTX 750 Ti in a quad-core system, and only a few pounds more expensive than the 750 Ti when it's on sale. However, on a dual-core Core i3 system, the stutter is extreme and minimum frame-rate isn't just lower than the GTX 750 Ti, it's lower than the R7 260X too. AMD makes some excellent hardware, but until the DX11 driver issue is resolved, we can only recommend Nvidia cards for PCs with lower-end CPUs.
