4K gaming is too demanding and heavy for current gen GPU FYI, frame rate won't be good if you game on 4K resolution, even the highest end GTX980Ti can only yield ~30 FPS in triple A titles now, but well it is still depend on the game optimization, but don't put high expectation on 4K gaming just yet.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1384
Gigabyte H170-HD3 - RM 488
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200
Gigabyte R9 390X 8GB GDDR5 WindForce - RM 1899
Kingston HyperX Fury 240GB SSD - RM 285
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 409

Total: RM 4980 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Techview provides shipping service so you can buy from them online and get the items shipped to you by courier.

If you want 16GB RAM, downgrade the SSD to 120GB (RM 229) to cover up the cost of another 8GB RAM (RM 200), any DDR4 RAM with speed > 2133MHz is just a waste for this build because the mobo isn't a Z170, so just get the cheapest value RAM which has a base clock of 2133MHz, it is enough for daily task.

If budget is low then go for FSP Hexa+ 400W, around RM 150.

R9 390X can run games at high settings (ultra if the game is well optimized), the main reason I chose it over GTX970/980 is mainly because of the VRAM, 4K texture requires a lot of VRAM. But you need to reconsider if you play a lot Nvidia GameWorks titles, AMD seems to suffer a lot in these titles, otherwise it is fine.

Capacity to upgrade as in upgradeability? If yes then it depends on what you are going to upgrade, but this build can hold for quite a long time if your requirements aren't getting higher in the upcoming years.

AMD runs slightly hotter but not really a big deal since you aren't going to install them in a closed case.

Nope, VRAM not just for show or movie, even idle on desktop also requires certain amount of VRAM, for 1080p will consume around 250 MB (depends on your settings and stuff etc.), higher resolution will consume even more.

GPU upgradability? Not much, you can only upgrade it by going SLI/Crossfire, or sell it and get another stronger GPU, SLI/Crossfire requires SLI/Crossfire ready mobo and PSU. The mobo comes with PCI-E 3.0 and can run any GPU available in the market now (no SLI/Crossfire support though).

Sorry it's a typo but total cost is correct.

RM 385 is the price.

You can add SSD if you want since you have some budget left.

MSI B85-E45 if you want 4 RAM slots at cheap price tag (around RM 300+) but very rare in the market now because it is being phased out and replaced by Skylake at a pretty quick pace.

Your spec is fine, a quick google search told me it was a known issue on Nvidia card.

Try google yourself and apply the suggested tweaks and see if the problem goes away.

I will go for first one.

Second one is packed with an overpriced GTX960, add on some money add you will be able to get GTX970 already.

No monitor to reuse? Surely > 2k then.

To max out the budget, you can,
1. Upgrade to i5 6400 (RM 828)
2. Upgrade to GTX960 (Zotac dual fan version @ RM 867)
3. Upgrade to 240GB SSD and 2TB HDD (since you say you want big storage space)

If you don't need a monitor then you can get Skylake i3, if monitor is required you need to downgrade to Pentium.

If you are going to upgrade to high end GPU then yes.

As for RAM and SSD, most likely not as they don't consume a lot of power.

If you plan to get a more decent PSU, drop the SSD and upgrade the PSU to Seasonic M12II EVO 620W at RM 409.

Add a case and PSU will > 1k, downgrade to Pentium G is another option to keep below 1k.

Get mobo which comes with WiFi is better, it saves you space, everything looks tidy and the PCI-E WiFi is much better and stronger in terms of signal and stability but your budget doesn't allow to get this kind of mobo just yet.

Downgrading the CPU to Pentium G4400 to fit a WiFi built-in mobo (MSI B150I or Gigabyte H170N) and 8GB RAM

Currently the build doesn't include WiFi adapter yet.

Yep you can.

Ahh I forgot about the cooler already.

Intel Core i5 6600K - RM 1011

Total: RM 4022 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If you are planning to do moderate/heavy oc, change the cooler selected and if possible, top up some money and get a faster RAM, the unlocked i5 runs faster with faster RAM.

Edit: fixed price.

280X is much much much faster than GTX950.

"ling sell on lyn", what you mean by this?

Haha, "ling" sounds weird because we already familiar with full name "lingloong", just like his shop DotaTech, we cannot just say Dota without Tech right haha

You can max out your budget by,
1. Getting a 240GB SSD
2. Upgrade to i7 (might not be very useful in gaming now due to lack of hyperthreading technology implementation but more future proof, so don't expect you will see lots of improvements in frame rate if you choose this path)
3. Upgrade to 16GB RAM (not necessary if you aren't using > 8GB RAM)
4. Swap to AMD R9 390X (around 25% faster than GTX970 in terms of raw performance)

You can get free Rise of the Tomb Raider (Steam copy) by purchasing a qualified Nvidia card (GTX970 and above), register your serial number and proof of purchase on respective participating manufacturer site to redeem.

What PSU model you have now?

There is only 1 Skylake i7 variant which is i7 6700.

If you switch to Skylake Xeon, you need to change the mobo as well because only C232 chipset mobo can use Skylake Xeon.
