QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Oct 31 2015, 05:36 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Oct 31 2015, 08:49 PM) 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. I see, well had a 2nd thought and "readjusted" my budget. So now in my mind: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 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. This post has been edited by Guenhwyvar: Nov 1 2015, 02:12 PM |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 1 2015, 03:22 PM) You picked a Haswell CPU, so the mobo and RAM listed above need to be changed due to compability issue. 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! 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. |
