Hi there, anyone can help by recommending some specs?

a) Well my budget is around RM3k (just for the rig)
b) I do play games such as Divinity and hopefully able to play games like fallout.
c) Most of the time I'll be surfing the net and watching youtube.

Many Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a 80% Mini-ITX gaming rig. I know a few components but I've been out of it too long to know about what's available.

Case - Corsair 250D Mini-ITX
Processor - Skylake i7
Water Cooling - Type?
Mobo - Type?
GCard - 4GB Geforce GTX 970
Main SSD ~256gig - Type?
2nd Drive - HDD - Type?
RAM - 16 gig - Type?

This is just for the unit itself, all the rother stuff is pretty straight forward

Thanks in advance.

Acceptable budget range?

at 3300 i could also upgrade ssd + ram right ? so it's almost the same ?

Hi, looking around the 6000 area.

You mentioned "Water Cooling", are you going for oc build?

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1503
Asus Z170I Pro Gaming - RM 815
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2666MHz RAM - RM 539
Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1495
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 402
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Corsair Hydro H100i GTX - RM 623
Corsair Obsidian 250D - RM 451

Total: RM 6037 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

If you are not heading to oc build, you can get a much better GPU.

Reference card with blower type cooler is recommended for SFF (mITX) build.

Hi guys, 2 shop quoted me for a rig spec. which one is better? Using for light gaming.

Option 1 ;

Intel G3250
MSI H81M-P33
1TB WD Blue
Kingston Fury 4GB X 1 Black
Zotac GTX 950
Deepcool Smarter Case
FSP/Deepcool/Gigabyte 500-580W PSU
FREE Blue LED Fan

RM1770

Option 2 ;

G3258
H81M
4GB DDR3
1TB
GTX 950 2GB
COOLER MASTER 460W
CASING VERSA H25

RM1800

Both almost similar actually, but 2nd option can be overclocked while 1st build has larger PSU.

Terence, thanks for the help.

No, the WC is mainly to overcome the lack of through air the case can have since it's such a small form (it's what I was thunking)

Also, no, no OC for me, just stock ( Got the 970 from another thread, may easily have been a wrong choice)

So do you mean you already bought the GPU so the 6k is for rest of the parts except the GPU? If yes, then no need 6k, 4 - 4.5k can settle everything.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1399
Gigabyte H170N WiFi - RM 579
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 569
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 409
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 409
Corsair Obsidian 250D - RM 451

Total: RM 4041 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Locked i7 should be fine with the temperature, water cooler is expensive if you get the high end one, low end one is pretty much the same as air cooler only.

Corsair Hydro H100i GTX - RM 609

Due to the size of the case, not all coolers are able to fit, make sure you buy the one that can fit, if water cooler, make sure it is 120/240 and check the radiator thickness, if air cooler, check the height of cooler, some of them will block the RAM slots.

No, no GPU yet, just got the name from another thread and thought it was one of the new models..

Oh then you can just add in the GTX970 or R9 390 (8GB VRAM).

Need suggestions for a rig below 2k.mostly for Dota 2.

Already have hdd, monitor, keyboard, mouse and , casing

This build is enough for Dota 2.

Intel Core i3 4170 - RM 486
Asus H81M-K - RM 229
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM - RM 220
PowerColor R9 270 2GB GDDR5 TurboDuo - RM 550
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189

Total: RM 1674 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If you play other games too, you can switch to GTX960 (RM 799) or upgrade the i3 to i5 (+ RM 300).

prefer i5 and r9 270 can play high settings for dota 2?

the budget can up until 2k

The current build already can play max settings 1080p at 60 FPS, but if you want to change to i5, it is ok, no harm

Compare with EW2440L which you prefer?

There is a big price gap..

thx
