Hi there, anyone can help by recommending some specs?

a) Well my budget is around RM3k (just for the rig)
b) I do play games such as Divinity and hopefully able to play games like fallout.
c) Most of the time I'll be surfing the net and watching youtube.

Many Thanks! thumbup.gif

Budget for the build?

Edit: Checked back few posts, it seems like your budget is 3k right?

LOL sorry about that, forgotten to explain. Well......I forgot to factor in a monitor for it. So had to reduce a little bit. But I want your opinion on it? Is that ok? Well I need your recommendation on the motherboard, is that motherboard ok? Or is there a better one to go with the CPU. Those specs were proposed by a shop, but I am willing to top up a little bit. tongue.gif

GTX750 isn't really enough for Fallout 4 to be honest, you are just under the min requirements, if you are ok with low/med settings then it should be fine.

And about the upgrade ability, Haswell is currently being replaced by Skylake now, so in terms of CPU upgrade, nope, not possible to jump from Haswell to next gen CPU due to socket difference, but you still can upgrade to Haswell i7 next time if you want. As for GPU, no issue there since the board is also using latest PCI-E 3.0. If you can find MSI B85M-E45, then get it instead of the Asus board, it comes with additional 2 RAM slots for future upgrade when needed.

So the budget includes the OS license key too? If yes, then not much you can squeeze anymore because genuine key is quite expensive here, it would take maybe 10% of your budget   sweat.gif

I see, well had a 2nd thought and "readjusted" my budget. So now in my mind:

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM830
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - (The shop doesn't have this, probably I'll look at other shops. Or do you have other recommendation similar to it?)
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 289
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 (MSG:GZ version) (Can't seem to find this brand either? Any other brands and model similar to it?)
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139

Btw, I am based in Penang.

Ok back to budget of 3k (without OS) Sorry I know, I have been adjusting a few times. laugh.gif

You picked a Haswell CPU, so the mobo and RAM listed above need to be changed due to compability issue.

So you are buying the parts in Penang? Not much choices then because product range is limited there. You can try to find Hikari85 in Garage Sales, she has a shop in Butterworth.

Oh so the one, you suggested was a Skylake? (i56500) Sorry, I'm kinda lost touch with tech stuff now. I see, couldn't find the user though but once again Thank You very much! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Hi terence_nwb,

What do you think of this setup? Any cons if I go for AMD instead of Intel? It was recommended by another shop.

AMD Atlon X4 860K processor
Asus A68HM-E
Corsair 8GB DDR3 RAM
WD 1TB HDD
Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 384 2GB DDR5 (PCIE-3.0)
Crossair VS550PSU
Kingston 120GB SSD
Cooler Master Elite N200

Many thanks! biggrin.gif
