guys need some comments about my rig build..thankss

Procseeor : intel i7 6700k

CPU cooler : scythe ashura

mobo : gigabyte z170x gaming 7 or asrock z170 extreme 6 or asus z170 pro-gaming (need suggestion on these 3 mobo)

ram : GSKILL Ripjaws V 2x8 (16gb)

gpu : gigabyte gtx 970 xtreme or evga gtx 970 FTW+ ACX 2.0 (between these 2 which is good, i think both are good)

PSU : superflower leadex silver 650W

case : fractal design define r5

storage : 3TB blue caviar and 1 TB blue caviar

SSD(for os) : crucial m.2 mx200 500gb
*
Both are good but expensive laugh.gif

If you are into heavy overclocking, get a better cooler.

As for mobo, the price point between them is different, Gigabyte Gaming 7 is over RM 1000, ASRock Extreme 6 is around RM 950 while Asus Pro Gaming is under RM 800, I will go for either Extreme 4 or Pro Gaming, others are quite expensive and it will be a waste if you buy those extra features offered but never use them.

You can swap the GPU directly, PSU can support R9 390 so no need change PSU.

Your choice, performance difference is small, SSD is still SSD, still very fast compared to HDD.

Hi guys, newbie here. I wanna to know the difference between
1) I5 4th gen vs I5 skylake 6th gen processor
2) Cheap ZOTAC GTX 960 vs Expensive MSI/asus GTX 960

issit worth it to choose i5 6th gen processor and the more expsive MSI GTX960 for better performance?

Thanks
*
1. Skylake i5 is around 5 - 10% ahead of Haswell, worth or not? If you have budget, then go for it because price is almost the same, the only issue is the mobo price is slightly expensive (DDR4 based).

2. Cheapest Zotac GTX960 is ITX version, only 1 cooling fan, performance won't be far away from other GTX960 in terms of FPS despite clock speed is slightly lower, if you want better cooling, go for other brands, not necessary Asus/Gigabyte/MSI.

Building my rig now. Is it okay to put the soundcard that close to the gpu?

Since you still have extra PCI-E slots, why don't put the GPU at other slot laugh.gif

Can't do much with non-modular PSU but from what I've seen in the picture, it is actually quite decent.

bos regarding the mobo....does the 3 model i stated can build hackintosh?
*
I am still yet to encounter any mobo failed to install/boot Hackintosh, even a 5 years old laptop also can run it, one of the important things you need to take note is the iGPU, some old model mobo's won't disable iGPU automatically when there is a dedicated GPU, causing the Hackintosh to stuck at 800 x 600 resolution.

Thanks for the quick reply terence.
I plan to get a ZOTAC GTX960, can recommend any model of ZOTAC that has 2 cooling fan instead of 1?.
Hopefully the price of ZOTAC GTX 960 with 2 fan can be almost same with the 1 fan version. Budget tight problem. haha
*
AMP version, RM 899.

Or you can try Leadtek, 2 fans also, RM 849.

Price is from Techview.

Hi all, quite noob on pc stuff and sorry if post on wrong section
last year January I bought a new desktop rig which is using intel haswell processor, hard disk is running sata 3.0
so I wondering how to put my old hard disk which bought on year 2008 into the new desktop ? no idea is sata 1 or 2  (as it is written WD Green), because yesterday I tried to plug the old hard disk into the new desktop, however I can't, I saw there a cable connecting both my hard disk and dvd drive, and the cable writing with word called sata 6gbps ....
the cable is one, and split into 2 to connect both dvd drive and my hard disk

so just to make sure, is it I go just to pc shop and buy the sata 3.0 6gbps cable and plug from my motherboard to the old hard disk ??

here the photo

You need SATA 3 data cable and SATA power cable to power on the HDD.

SATA power cable is the one which split into 2, if don't have 3rd header then you need to buy a new one.

thanks for the reply
so what does that cable call ? sata 3.0 cable to sata cable ? rclxub.gif

as for the sata power cable, normally is it come with motherboard ??
as my motherboard user guide book said got 2x sata 3.0 cable, but I only saw one, but is split into 2 hmm.gif
*
Just call it SATA cable will do.

SATA cable normally comes with motherboard, but only 2 or 3 cables included, if you need more then you need to buy yourself.

SATA power cable comes with your PSU, normally you don't need to buy power cable separately because it is enough for normal consumer, unless you run a lot of drives.

oo, so I can just buy any sata data cable and plug to my new desktop motherboard to connect the old hard disk  ?
and those sata data cable should be compatible with sata 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 right ?
or must buy sata 3.0 to sata 1.0 data cable ? since my motherboard support sata 3.0, this is the motherboard I am using Asrock H87M Pro 4

as for sata power cable, I guess is no need as I found the extra cable nearby the connected hard disk to let me plug in

Something like this will work.

Hey guys I need a suggestion on the cheapest 4k display gaming rig, my current rig is dying so I think I might need to upgrade it sooner or later. Thanks.
*
You mean 4k (2160p) resolution rig? It will cost you a bomb because current hardware isn't strong enough to hold a stable frame rate on 4k yet.

GPU alone already costs you 3k+, either GTX980Ti/R9 Fury, but single GPU cannot provide decent 4k gaming experience yet, so you might want to go for SLI/CF, this will double the price.

So are you sure you want to stay at 4k?

haha never knew building a 4k gaming rig cost that much  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  well it just part of my plan and I guess the time havent come yet. So what could you suggest for a decent gaming rig that could support max performance for 1440p?
*
Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1349
Gigabyte H170-D3HP - RM 559
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200
Gigabyte R9 390X 8GB GDDR5 G1 Gaming - RM 1864
Kingston HyperX Fury 240GB SSD - RM 399
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 409
Corsair Carbide Spec-01 - RM 240

Total: RM 5235 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Max performance as in max settings? It is possible if you are not maxing out the AA, AA in 1440p isn't really important though, so the minimum AA effect is enough.

Due to higher texture size of 1440p, more VRAM is recommended so I included the R9 390X instead of Nvidia (only 4GB for GTX970/980), but if you play Nvidia GameWorks title, then you need to reconsider, performance isn't great on AMD card on those titles.

Or upgrade to GTX980Ti, around 3k+/-, depend on the brand you are going to get.

Very hard to maintain all parts within your budget when you want to include Windows in the budget, I used Idealtech pricelist mainly because of the Windows price (they got include in pricelist). For other parts, you can look for Techview, Etech or Lowyat Plaza etc, just refer to the builds above and you will have the idea on which hardware to get.

Windows price might be different in other shop, it is not cheap so be prepared laugh.gif
