Windows 7 is still slower than Windows 8/10 in even if you install in SSD because 8/10 use fast boot technology like hibernating your PC when you shutdown.

Will go with Haswell (4th gen) because your budget cannot fit Skylake (6th gen).

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 830
Asus H81M-K - RM 240
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 209
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 - RM 840
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 229
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139

Total: RM 2901 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Add LED strip if you want light in your case and if you want to get a new Windows key, prepare more budget because it is not cheap or downgrade some of the parts suggested above to cover up the money for OS.

Hello sifus & otais,

need a preference:

1) i3 4130 + gtx 650 or 2) Pentium G3250 + GTX 660

which 1 is a better choice?

It depends on what games you play, if the games you play is more CPU demanding, option 1 will yield better result and performance.

If need monitor then some of the preferences won't be able to meet due to budget issue.

So is monitor included in the budget (you didn't state you have monitor or not in the list)?

Hey guys, i'm planning to make a gaming/multimedia rig soon.
Probably would like to see recommendations as of now.

[Budget] 2.5k ~ 3k (if can see the options for both with and without monitor it will be great)

[Purpose]
A heavy torrent downloader & uploader, online user and video user (720p minimum).
Occasionally convert HD movie to lower quality (unsure if it counts as video rendering?)
As for game, not a heavy gamer but i wish to play the below games:
Star Wars Battlefront (new)
NBA 2K16 (steam?)
Droid4x (android emulator)

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Friend is selling me a corsair casing for RM150 (i forgot the casing name)

[Monitor resolution]
Looking for above 20"


[Personal preferences]
Current budget recommendation from my friend is below:
CPU: RM800
Mobo: RM400~500
GPU: RM800~ 1k
Ram: RM200
HDD: RM300 (i requested that i need minimum 2TB HDD for storage)
SDD: ? (need?)
PSU: RM250
Casing: RM150

Basically already over 3k budget lol without monitor

Budget 3K.... thks guys!!!

But windows8/10 have this mandatory update which is annoying

My budget is 3k below but i think i wanna save a bit
I think i stick to ps4 for high graphics game. Just wanna play dota high settings for pc

DDR4 based mITX mobo is very expensive, if you can accept mATX (larger) than the overall cost will be lower.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 517
ASRock H170M-ITX/ac - RM 576
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 246
Leadtek GTX750 2GB GDDR5 WinFast - RM 485
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 186
CM Elite 130 - RM 178

Total: RM 2606 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Oh well updates keep your PC safe from malicious malware and bugs, only Windows 10 Home edition has this mandatory update policy, others don't have.

I need to know the casing model name, else I cannot proceed because the form factor is unknown.

If gaming, don't go for AMD, performance is lower than Intel.

So 3K budget for 3 items only? You don't need that much.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 889
Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 - RM 579
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 246

Total: RM 1714 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

You can downgrade to mATX mobo like MSI B150M Bazooka D4 (RM 409) if you don't need the extra PCI-E slots from ATX mobo.

Thx!
Appreciate it

Hey man, the casing name is Corsair Carbide Spec 01

SSHD or SSD+HDD? just for faster load speeds when looking for files or booting windows!

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 889
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 409
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 246
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 ZT-90306-10M - RM 840
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189

Total: RM 2798 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Corsair Carbide Spec-01 - RM 150

I'll go for SSD + HDD because I've one SSHD, it barely makes any difference

Can anyone recommend cpu cooler terms of better cooling and low noise? I'm running on i5 3570k (stock cooler) and my case is corsair air 240. I read some reviews but still can't decide

here's are my option within my budget

ID-Cooling IS-60 (RM139)
SilverStone AR05 (RM185)
Noctua NH-L9i (RM185)

go for low profile cryorig c7 from idealtech,its RM149 if i'm not mistaken,shud be better since it support proc tdp up to 100w.
