[Personal preferences]is it possible to get 970 gpu with 3k budget?

Not quite possible unless you have HDD to reuse and the build will be based on Haswell (4th gen) instead of Skylake (6th gen).

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 830
Asus H81M-K - RM 240
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM - RM 220
Zotac GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1399
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Bitfenix NOVA - RM 149

Total: RM 3027 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If you don't have HDD to reuse, it is still possible to get a GTX970 + i5 rig under 3k, but you need to spend time to hunt for the cheapest item either online or physical shop.

To get Skylake i5, you need to top up another RM 250, just for CPU + mobo + RAM alone.

For skylake i5, what is your recommended setup? and budget up to RM3500.
Btw, thanks for the suggestions.

FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189

Total: RM 3535 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Price included the HDD was left out earlier and upgrade to Skylake

Hi guys,
[Budget] RM4500

[Purpose] Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] 22" 16
:10 Monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers

[Personal preferences] Simple black/dark casing with good airflow. Plan to get from Idealtech. Would like this build to last quite a few years, my current PC is now 8 years old.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1375
ASRock B150M-HDV D4 - RM 399
GSKill NT 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 249
EVGA GTX970 4GB GDDR5 ACX 2.0+ - RM 1699
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 409
Bitfenix NOVA - RM 149

Total: RM 4499 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST)

If you want ATX size mobo (current one is mATX), upgrade to Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 (RM 589) for more PCI-E and RAM slots and downgrade the PSU to FSP Hexa+ 550W (RM 199).

If you want SSD to be included, downgrade the PSU to FSP Hexa+ 550W (RM 199) and GPU to Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference (RM 1579) to get a Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD (RM 329).

Thanks. If I downgrade the CPU for the SSD and ATX mobo is it ok?

Yup of course ok, just to remind you that i5 is 4 cores 4 threads while i7 is 4 cores 8 threads, I saw you wrote "last for quite a few years" so I suggested i7 instead since your budget is somehow able to fit it, current games are still not optimized to use the extra threads of i7 but future games with DX12 will

But in overall, i5 still a beast for current games and you shouldn't face any issue if the games aren't that CPU demanding.

Hi All sifu here, need your help on this. My current pc is already quite old and was thinking to change it to a new one. When would it be the best time to purchase a new computer? December? or should I wait till 2016?

Need your advise on this.
