Thanks guys for all ur help. So basicaly upgrade cpu and gpu mobo no need to change?

Dear LYN community expert,

Happy new year to all of you, this my first time sharing my rig and i must admit i'm a complete noob when it comes to tech. Any problem i straight run to nearby PC shop, usually it's Czone in digital mall. Today, i would like to request some suggestions on the rig below.

[Budget] Below 3.5k

[Purpose] Heavy gaming and work

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Cooler Master Casing, Dell monitor, Logitech keyboard, logitech mouse, SSD, HDD

[Monitor resolution] 1280 x 1024

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Firefox, Gmail, Excel, Powerpoint, Paint, Picture manager, movies, arkham knight, fallout 4, witcher 3, gta 5, and all new RPG games

[Personal preferences] none

[Location] PJ, Selangor
Current rig:
Intel Core i5 3570
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 
Corsair Force 3 SSD 120 GB
WDC WD10EZEX-08MLMA0 HDD 1TB
Seasonic SS-520GM Active PFC F3
Asus PBZ77-VLXZ 6GB
DDR RAM 4GB x 2 

I'm at a dilemma on what to replace and some i want to keep given the tight budget, is it possible to run Arkham Knight and all other new games at 60 fps and full setting given my budget? Thank you LYN-ers 

Hi st4Lk3rz, u seem very familiar with techview prices, are you an employee?
Is there any store in PJ?

Ah ok...thanks a lot for the recommendation. they can really undercut. truth is my PC the graphic card already dead as i'm posting this and i need to decide ASAP.

Thanks for saving me some money at the expense of your time. Happy new year all LYN

YOU GUYS ROCK!

There reason I want the Mamba is because of the RGB lighting to match my Blackwidow Chroma keyboard. The lighting on the sides is nice. But I'm not aware of the laser issue. Is it really an issue for fps? And I've only heard good things about the Razer Synapse software, that it's very user friendly.

What about the Logitech G602 wireless? It's quite big as well right. Although without the flashy RGB.
Are you an employee hahahahahahaaaaa!

Yea agree, just bought an i5 GTX970 right there too recently. Very friendly sellers as well.

[Budget] RM 2500 (not sure doable or not)

[Purpose] Gaming (for starcraft 2)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Hardisk and processor i5, monitor, keyboard, 4 GB RAM, cooler master casing

[Monitor resolution] 1920 x 1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] - not sure yet. only for gaming basically. Maybe Heroes of storm 

[Personal preferences] add additional 4 GB RAM , graphic card (change motherboard if unable to support graphic card GTX 970), power supply
[Location] Cheras or lowyat

Current graphic card GTX 460 ( 4-5 years ady my pc)

hi all
if i wanted to upgrade gpu. any suggestion?
mostly for dota max setting
monitor reso 1600 900

as cheap as possible...
500-600

hi, can anyone suggest small FF motherboard (itx or matx) for socket 1151? price max 500.

also, recommend me PSU that can support GTX 970? preferably below 300

thank you

Recommend me a new ssd for my rig. Samsung 850 Pro? Going for a fast one, but not as expensive as those pci-e ssd.

Samsung Evo is better than the Pro? Thanks btw!

Are these matching good? budget RM2k+-, any of them got better option? Thanks

i3-6100 - RM519
Asus B150M - RM419
4GB RAM - RM159
SSD Kingston 230GB - RM199
FSP HEXA + - RM199
Casing - (Please recommend one)

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

From my current core2duo anything is a big upgrade i guess..

The onboard graphic able to support my dual monitor setup i have now? (quite old one, 22" and 19")

Hi,
I am planning to get this build (first time building pc)

i5-4460
R9 380X NITRO
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W
Asrock Z97M anniversary
Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz
WD Blue 1TB
Thermaltake Versa H25
Hyper 212 EVO

But I just found out that Hyper 212 EVO doesn't fit Thermaltake Versa H25. Is there any cheaper case or same price with H25 (but not bad quality) which is compatible with the rest of the components?
And is there any good motherboard that is cheaper than the one I mentioned (also not bad quality) which is compatible to everything I mentioned?
(P.S: I won't change proc, cpu cooler, gpu, psu, ram, and hdd)

Oh, thanks for the suggestion !
Btw, does the size of the cases affect anything in particular? Would it be better to have higher case? Any higher cases suggestion within the price of the one you mentioned? (preferably cheaper but not bad in quality)

Hello, I am helping a friend building a gaming rig. Budget is around RM4500++ (I already over the budget)
Below is what I come up with.(ref: Idealtech)
Can anyone comment/suggest if this is ok or are there better option.
Thanks.

Hi guys, wanna ask again

This would be my last build, what do you guys think?

i5-4460
R9 380X NITRO
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W
Asrock H97M-ITX/ac
Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz
WD Blue 1TB
Cooler Master N200
Hyper 212 EVO

I'm still wondering though about one last component which is mobo, I was going to get H97M, but found out it has no wifi support, so I'm thinking of choosing H97M-ITX/ac which is quite expensive compared to H97M Anniversary/Z97M anniversary. So, is there any other mobo maybe which is less than RM400 with wifi support (good quality)?

Thanks !

You can always get a WiFi adapter (PCI-E or USB), not necessary to go for mITX mobo, you lost many features with mITX mobo such as RAM and PCI-E slots.

Building my first pc. Thanks for all the advice and help
