Hi all, hoping to treat myself for a new rig to replace my almost 10 year-old rig.
Consider me a noob coz I really don't know much about PC anymore.
I could say I was an avid RPG gamer, and I'm hoping to get into the 'mood' again, but I'm not sure if I still have the patience.
Thanks in advance!
[Budget] RM 4k-5k
[Purpose]
Gaming, entertainment, heavy browsing
[Hardwares that will be re-use] None
[Monitor resolution]
Erm.. no idea but anything best for my budget
[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Games (which I don't know yet), web browser, excel and... media player classic?
[Personal preferences]
Nice, big monitor, wireless keyboard & mouse.
Please include a recommendation for a good sound system - but nothing too crazy, 2.1 would be ok I guess.
I don't mind paying more for better quality hardwares - longer lasting and reliable - as long as the price is reasonable.
[Location] KL
Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1349
Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 - RM 589
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 279
GALAX GTX970 4GB GDDR5 EXOC Black - RM 1489
Samsung 650 Series 120GB SSD - RM 209
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Seasonic S12II 620W - RM 299
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 159
Total: RM 4592 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)
As for speaker and monitor, there are plenty of choices, you can try to visit Viewnet (Lowyat Plaza branch) and they have demo unit in the shelf so you can test it yourself, same goes to monitor.
My personal recommendation is,
Edifier M1360 2.1 Speaker - RM 105
Dell U2414H IPS - RM 1049
Acer XB240H 144Hz - RM 1149
The total cost is way over budget I know

, you can downgrade the CPU to i5 6500 to save RM 500 for monitor/speaker part, if you can accept the over budget then it's fine
If you want nice IPS display + thin bezel, you will fall in love with U2414H. If you are more on FPS, the acer monitor comes with 144Hz and you will have a much different gaming experience than normal 60Hz monitor, test it yourself there to know the difference
