I see, quite close already.. Heard the new architecture is very powerful.. But I guess I'll just go with the current one first.. That's why I'm thinking of getting the i7 instead of the i5, for future proofing.

Can the FSP Hexa+ 550w run the Zotac GTX970 Amp!?

hi there ,can you quote me for this system

[cool.gif[Budget]-1500 max

[Purpose]-casual gaming,browsing,movie

[Hardwares that will be re-use]-GPU,PSU and HDD

[Monitor resolution-1600x900

[Games & softwares that use frequently]-dota 2,office,browsing

[Personal preferences]-mini itx board+intel processor

[Location]-sg buloh

Thanks for your input.

Further enquiries before I proceed.

1. Is there any distinctive difference between, H81M-K and H81M-D? (as referenced to Viewnet price list)

From Asus web,
H81M-D
1 x PCIe x16
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s)
2 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s)

This should be sufficient for my existing hardware (3x HDD), Creative soundcard, and a "future" upgrade of one SSD HDD, am I right?

Extra note, there is no info about H81M-K from Asus web.

I am still undecided on which motherboard is suitable.

2. At this moment, do you think getting the Skylake processor is "future-proofing" my desktop? I understand it's kinda unpredictable on how long Intel is going to continue with LGA1150 platform. Or talking from cost effective point of view, just ignore Skylake and proceed with Haswell?

3. The Techview you are mentioning, is it located in Jaya One? The price that you post, seems more competitive than Viewnet.

P/s the purpose of this desktop is just light gaming, and HD movies to plasma.

Thank you.

Planning to buy complete build-up rig around RM3500 for gaming purposes,requirement Intel i5 6500 and GTX970 (since do not have guts to build the rig by my own). Will be using my existing keyboard, mouse, 1600x900p monitor (planning to buy 1080p monitor in the future), and speaker. Appreciate your comment on the below configuration:-

Processor: I5 6500 RM855
GPU: Palit GTX970 Single Fan 4GB DDR5 RM1,399
Mobo: Asrock 150M-HDV D4 RM399
RAM : G.Skill NT Series 2x4G Dual DDR4 2133 mhx RM249
PSU : FSP Hexa + 550W RM199
Case : Sharkloon T3-W RM120
HDD : WD 1TB Caviar Blue RM219
Total : RM3439 (Source: Idealtech)

Additional question:-
1. Did i need to install soundcard in this rig so i can use my speaker for gaming, watching movie, etc?
2. I'm also planning to buy wireless adapter and Optical drive (dvd). Is the PSU sufficient enough to power the rig?

Thanks

hi cfus. suggest me a rig please

[Budget] 2.5K

[Purpose]Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use]hdd+ssd

[Monitor resolution]1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] DOTA 2

[Personal preferences] microATX build

[Location]KL

is it possible for my budget to run latest game at high setting@1080p ?

What is the difference between the Zotax GTX 970 Amp Extreme and the Amp Extreme Core? The clock looks faster on the Amp Extreme Core, but the Amp Extreme card looks godly!

So it's basically up to personal design preference? The Amp Extreme looks way better for me but it's quite bulky. The light ID is kinda cool. And it also looked as it has a lot more features.

I see. And it's a bit of cheaper I think compared to the Extreme Core? I have still yet to decide on which to go. I don't mind the space it takes actually. The design of the Amp Extreme looks high-end compared to the basic design of the Extreme Core. But I do have a Xonar sound card to fit.

[Budget] 4k

[Purpose] Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] monitor and hdd

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] totally FPS

[Personal preferences] Jonsbo case + corsair water cooled + 128gb ssd

Possible to get high end gaming rig with this budget? 

I'm not too sure if there's stock but I saw one on Heavy Arm online store.

I'm thinking going from Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1231 v3 to Skylake i7 6600 non K for long term upgrade

Any comment about this pair?

INTEL SKYLAKE CORE I7-6700 PROCESSOR (8M CACHE, UP 3.40) RM1319.00

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 6-Core 2.8GHz Socket AM3
Asus M4A77D

Then i will change mobo to GIGABYTE GA-Z170-HD3 SOCKET 1151 MAINBOARD RM599 to full utlizie 2400mhz speed

Its better 4GB x 2 DDR4 3000mhz or 8GB x 2 DDR4 2400mhz?

AVEXIR BLITZ 1.1 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3000MHZ (AVD4UZ130001508G-2BZ1RR) - RM789

AVEXIR CORE SERIES 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 2400MHZ (AVD4UZ124001608G-2COR) - RM488

Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8GB) 2133Mhz DDR4 CL14 (HX421C14FBK2/16) - RM607.99

Wonder why it's hard to find this model. Maybe it's been replace by the Extreme Core? Which one would you go for?

Nothing much really other than its sleek and sexy design (just me). I can opt for other case really.
Anyway if minus the Jonsbo case what system can you recommend me? Really appreciate your feedback..

Is it necessary to buy 16GB RAM as the AAA game titles recently consuming a lot of RAM... 
RAM speed 2133 MHz is decent for gaming?

Sorry ya coz I am really noob in buidling PC rig..

Just gotten approval from family for the go-ahead to change PC, with an additional RM500 to spare. 

Was just wondering if there is any better suggestion than my post earlier on??
