Yup, if you play games especially GTA V, SoM, JC3 then it is a good choice, size of game is growing drastically nowadays.

[Personal preferences] Play decent games with high or ultra settings.

To reduce cost:
1. Get reference GTX970, RM 1399 (Christmas promotion, not sure still valid or not), next cheapest option is Palit reference, RM 1469.
2. Drop the SSD, add in later when you have more funds.
3. Downgrade the PSU to cheaper one, i.e. FSP Hexa+ 550W, RM 189.

You can also change the case if you want a nicer look/design, just have to make sure the form factor is correct nod.gif

Keyboard/mouse/speaker/OS not included also, not sure if you need them.

Oops, just do some research and found that Z170 mobo only necessary for 6700K

Since i plan to use 6700 only, any recommendation which mobo would be good enough for i7 6700 and GTX960 OC
in order to reduce cost? (prefer from asus for 3 years warranty but too many models and confusing).
Thanks a lot bro!!! terence_nwb
*
If you want to keep Asus, then B150 Gaming Aura is probably the cheapest ATX DDR4 based Skylake mobo to choose.

Actually 5k budget can get you i7 + GTX970, GTX960 4GB just not worth the price, you just need to add some money and you get twice the performance of GTX960 with GTX970.

Thx a lot sifu!

Agree with you, will opt for MSI GTX 970 and cheaper MSI/Gigabyte mothetboard.

Wondering which PC shop is the best in offering technical advice and not just selling hardware? From pricelist, jayacom seems not bad as well as techview. After sales service is important!

Going to survey tomorrow:-)

You can try Idealtech, technical advice and after sales services are very good but unfortunately they don't carry MSI products.

Budget max 1.5k for cpu only..is it possible?.
Will pair with 24" widescreen monitor..
Thanks.

1.5k is too low, you won't get a good gaming experience, save more money before building your rig to avoid regret later on.

If you are not a hardcore gamer and can accept medium/high settings in game, then you can downgrade the GPU to GTX960 and spend the extra money in other parts such as i7/case/more storage drives/monitor etc.

What spec would you buy for a computer that you hardly use daily (too many mobile device, macbook, iphones etc).

But you will want it to be good when you use it.
Primary usage: lightroom, spotify, photoshop and surfing

Already have SSD, HDD.
Wants a smaller casing, MATX perhaps

Need a mobo to fit my asus essence stx (Pciex1) plus a future expansion graphic card. Planning to get a 29 or 34 Inch ultra widescreen in near future.
Budget 3k.

You don't need 3k for your usage actually, 3k can build a gaming rig already laugh.gif

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 849
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 399
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 197
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Corsair Carbide 88R - RM 239

Total: RM 1873 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If you really want to spend all your budget, you can add in a dedicated GPU now, for example GTX960 (if not heavy gaming) or GTX970 (gaming at almost max settings), or upgrade to i7 (not really useful for you at the moment).

Windows 10 not included yet because price is not listed by Techview, if you want to buy in KL area, you can look for Idealtech, they can give you advice on the build too.

The price of Windows 10 Home OEM starts from RM 200+/- if you buy from retail shop, if you want it cheaper, you can look for bulk key in Garage Sales, but I am not responsible for any lost (fake key, stolen key or duplicate key case etc).

Hi I posted a thread just now, didn't realize about this thread, so i close my thread and asking here instead,

My budget is 2k (without monitor), 

and terence_nwb (thank you for your suggestion) suggest 2 option
Option 1, get i5 + non dedicated GPU
Option 2, get i3 + dedicated GPU.

can you suggest me, what spec i will get if i pick either 1st option or 2nd option

[Budget] 2k

[Purpose] watch movie, minimum gaming, low usage on video editing/programming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] none

[Monitor resolution] not include monitor

[Games & softwares that use frequently] none

[Personal preferences] easy modification in the future if i want to upgrade.

[Location] KL

Thank you.

Option 1
Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 849
MSI H110M Pro-VH - RM 329
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 197
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 155
Deepcool Tesseract - RM 139

Total: RM 1884 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Option 2
Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 510
MSI H110M Pro-VH - RM 329
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 197
Zotac GTX750 1GB GDDR5 T-70702-10M - RM 499
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 155
Deepcool Tesseract - RM 139

Total: RM 2044 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Option 1 has some money left but cannot get a decent dedicated GPU whose performance can surpass the iGPU of Skylake i5.

Option 2 is slightly overbudget, but you get a GTX750, which is enough for light and casual gaming.

Based on your usage (light gaming), I will go for option 1 and add in a dedicated GPU next time when budget allows.

Currently using a i5-3570(non-k) and h77 board, would it be a good upgrade to jump to a i5-4690k + Z97 motherboard? I would like to keep the 3570 but I really want a better motherboard but hard to find a seller for Ivy bridge motherboards.

Nope, you better jump to Skylake (+ more performance boost) instead since price is about the same as Haswell i5.

Windows 10 Pro OEM - RM 399

BenQ GW2470H - RM 599

Total: RM 5832 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST if you choose Windows 7)

To reduce total cost, you can:
1. Downgrade to i5 (not much difference in gaming compared to i7 for now).
2. Get 120GB SSD.
3. Get cheaper case (your own choice because case is totally optional and up to personal preferences).
4. Get a cheaper PSU like FSP Hexa+ 550W (RM 199).

etc.

Windows 7 can be upgraded to Windows 10 for free until this July so it is slightly cheaper by going Windows 7 path, you can switch the monitor to any monitor you like as long as it is able to connect to your PS4 (HDMI).

Hey dudes, building a desktop for simple web browsing.

None

[Personal preferences]
SSD, W10
Would having only a 120GB SSD be sufficient for normal usage? No games, no movie/tv show downloads

OS installation will take around 20GB, so you have around 95GB+/- left, should be enough for normal usage, I have 120GB SSD also, only have Windows 10 and some important files inside, left around 85GB now.

Intel Pentium G4400 - RM 265
MSI H110M Pro-VH - RM 329

Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 65
BenQ GW2270 - RM 439

Total: RM 1795 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Windows 10 Home OEM key is around RM 300 if you buy from retail/physical shop, I am not sure what is Techview's pricing on Windows key, you need to ask them for more information.

If you look for Garage Sales, there are actually many sellers selling at ridiculously low price, you can buy from them if you dare to take the risk, need to beware of fake/stolen/duplicate key though.

Techview is located at Jaya One PJ.

I looked up the PSU you suggested, and I see it has no efficiency rating. Would it be worth investing in a PSU with 80+ Bronze rating?
*
Yep, it is mATX build, you can use mATX case.

Because budget issue so I picked a very low end PSU, of course you can get a better PSU with 80+ rating if you want like Corsair VS450/FSP Hexa+ 450W etc but you will need to increase budget.
