Oh thank u...

hi ... may i know if i need for build in WIFI motherboard? which one you will suggest?

You can buy PCI-E WiFi adapter like TP-LINK TL-WN881ND (~RM 65) and install it.

Have you made up your mind on what to get? If not, budget and usage?

Still researching, my main usage is to watch movie and gaming(LOL, DOTA2, diablo and maybe some new release game). Priority is to get a good monitor(24-27 inch). Budget maybe around 8k. But since my place got really limited pc stock thats why I have to buy online everything. Btw, since I didnt play FPS game, is 60hz IPS monitor good for me? I think only got one acer monitor with 144hz and IPS display but the priced is really sky high . Other 144hz is TN display, the color is not so good. Any good recommendation on the monitor?

[Budget] Around RM 8000

[Purpose] Movie watching and Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None, my old pc is like 16yo already using windows 2000 n dead.

[Monitor resolution]Hoping to get a nice monitor for movie watching (23-27 inch)

[Games & softwares that use frequently] LOL,DOTA2, Diablo, Assasin Creed syndicate, WItcher 3...I love to try new game


[Personal preferences] Wanna buy with Idealtech since my place so hard to get new stuff. Big pc size doesnt matter since I rarely move around. Want a good pc for future upgrade. Priority is a good monitor.

Since I dont need to rush, is it better to wait until early next year for new stuff?

I can't afford to buy everything in one shot. Need to buy the parts monthly around 1.5k/month. or should i just wait till i have enough money and buy everything?

Any suggestions on when is the best time to buy PC parts? Wait for year end or beginning of next year?

Asus also released a new IPS 144Hz 165Hz G-Sync monitor, a successor to the previous ROG Swift but as expected, more expensive than Acer one

Not all GPU can push 144Hz in all games, you mostly end up with 60Hz cap when playing those triple A titles, so I guess 60Hz is enough for you at the moment unless you are getting a G-Sync/FreeSync monitor. Dell U2414H is not a bad choice.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1325
Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 - RM 589
GSKill NT 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 249
Palit GTX980Ti 6GB GDDR5 Jetstream - RM 2999
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 509
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 409
Fractal Design Define R5 (Window) - RM 469
Dell U2414H IPS - RM 1065

Total: RM 7833 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST)

Case can be changed to any ATX form factor case (according to what you like). You have some money left for Windows license key if needed.

Edit: not 144Hz, is a whopping 165Hz.

With the current market price and unstable RM, I would say it will be almost similar unless RM bounces back to 3.xx range (to USD). If you see there is a promotion on the parts you want, get it first to save some money.

Should i get intel i7 6700 or intel xeon e3?

165hz ...overkill damn it...hahaha...btw thx...now I have a good starting point to plan my build.

I know.I just gave the place where he can find one.

It is Skylake vs Haswell question.

Skylake one is more expensive but packed with the improvements of Skylake and iGPU while Xeon E3 doesn't.

Price difference is around RM 300, choice is yours. If pick Skylake, you are on the latest platform, if you don't care about platform, Haswell Xeon E3 is a cheaper alternative, or you can just wait for Skylake Xeon series first before making decision.

please help guys. thanks in advance

200 FPS for CS:GO? Not really useful unless you have a 200Hz monitor, disable V-Sync to get 200 FPS will also put stress on your GPU and heat it up pretty fast. And you get lots of screen tearing too.

Since the games you listed aren't graphics demanding, I'll include a mid end GPU + 144Hz monitor since your budget can fit it.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 499
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 409
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 246

Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139
BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz - RM 1099

Total: RM 3625 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

You can switch to dual fan GTX960 at RM 840 or upgrade to i5 6400 at RM 809 if you wish.

LGA 1155 new mITX mobo is very hard to find now, I'll just recommend a new platform to you instead.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 822
Gigabyte H170N-WiFi - RM 575
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 269
Fractal Design Node 304 - RM 369
Dell U2414H - RM 1025

Total: RM 3060 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

To reduce cost, downgrade to Haswell (4th gen), this can save you roughly RM 500 since you can reuse your DDR3 RAM and Haswell mITX mobo is cheaper.

Edit: typo on socket number

Maybe you wanna check out BenQ's EW2440L 24inch bezel-less monitor. I wouldn't say there aren't any bezels but there is, just it's very small. Looks really good for gaming and watching videos. I'm using it myself. It's 60Hz refresh rate at 1920x1080.
