QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 10 2015, 07:19 PM) Price and hardware choice will be different by next year so this is just a reference. Would it be possible if I were to replace the WD HDD with a 128GB SSD of about the same price? I already have a 2TB external HDD to store files. Can suggest a 128GB SSD of about the same price?Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 499 ASRock B150M-HDV D4 - RM 399 GSKill NT 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 249 Palit GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Reference OC - RM 939 WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225 FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189 Bitfenix NOVA - RM 149 BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz - RM 1199 / Acer XB240H 144Hz - RM 1199 Total: RM 3848 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST) As you can see, the monitor alone is already costing you RM 1199, so you will have to sacrifice other parts to cover up the cost, and this rig is over your budget by nearly RM 400. You can downgrade the GPU to GTX750Ti but I don't think it can push 144Hz in CS:GO/Dota 2 all the time at max settings, unless you are ok with medium settings. Edit: Correction on CPU model. |

QUOTE(face @ Nov 11 2015, 02:07 PM) Both are about the same, but Zotac is offering extended 5 years warranty for most of their cards.QUOTE(Besanth @ Nov 11 2015, 02:08 PM) Yes. Only need specifications for the rig, excluding the items I've stated. Speakers, headphones, mouse, keyboard & monitor are all already owned. Intel Core i3 4160 - RM 500Asus H81M-K - RM 229 Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM - RM 220 Leadtek GTX750 2GB GDDR5 WinFast - RM 485 Total: RM 1434 (Techview price inclusive of GST) I am assuming your PSU can support GTX750 (at least 300W). |

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Nov 11 2015, 04:18 AM) Have you like bought the MoBo for Haswell or something? Nope. I haven't bought anything yet. I read that Intel warned about using DDR3 with Skylake can damage the processor. Skylake only officially supports DDR3L. I'd go DDR4 but still too expensive.IMO, overclocking the CPU doesn't really improve CPU performance that much. What's your budget for the rig? |

Not sure your "too expensive" range is how much, if upgrade to Skylake based on your current selection, it would be,Intel Core i5 4690K (RM 1059) vs Intel Core i5 6600K (RM 1059) Gigabyte Z97X-SLI (RM 595) vs Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI (RM 709) Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz (RM 220) vs Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz (RM 289) CPU same price, mobo + RAM need top up RM 183. RM 183 is totally acceptable for me since I'll get latest technology, platform and the improvements by going Skylake. |

Now a question of i5 or i7. i7 may not be very beneficial for gaming but I'm also interested in going 60fps watching movies. Will i7 be worth it? |

Watching 60 FPS movie doesn't require i7 btw, i3 is possible already unless I misinterpret your statement |

QUOTE(silentxoblivion @ Nov 11 2015, 08:32 PM) Missed a word there. I meant what MoBo would you recommend. SLi capable would be nice or do you think a single GPU setup is good enough. ASRock Z170 Extreme 4, around RM 800, single GPU setup is quite good already for 1080p 60FPS gaming (assuming you go for GTX970/R9 390 or higher), SLI requires a capable PSU and not to mention not all games are able to run at SLI mode due to lack of SLI support. |
