Budget] RM1.5k to RM2k without monitor.Will top up RM300 - RM500 separately for monitor.

[Purpose] Work & Light Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Only my 3 SATA HDD

[Monitor resolution] Full HD

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom - sometimes only. FIFA & Football Manager.

[Personal preferences] Need a PC which is upgradable in future, hence need a mobo with a better specs. Might be using 2 monitor simultaneously.

[Location] KL

My current 8 years old rig couldn't cope up anymore. Need a new rig asap. Main usage will be Illustrator & Photoshop. Minor usage on Lightroom. Not into gaming for the moment, but prefer a spec which can play FIFA.

Need a SSD and might be adding another SATA HDD soon so need a mobo which have enough sata ports and casing with sufficient slots for HDD.

Thanks in advance to all the sifus.

Upgradeability depends on many factors, for processor part, if next gen processor still uses 1151 socket then you can upgrade it, for RAM slots, it got 4 so don't think you can max it out so fast yet. For GPU part, it has PCI-E 3.0 and can support any modern GPU now so no worries there too.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 792
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 196
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 185

Total: RM 1973 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

BenQ GW2270 - RM 429

Dedicated GPU is not included, the iGPU of Skylake is quite powerful to handle modern games at low/medium settings at playable frame rate, it is either you go this path and add a dedicated GPU later when you have more funds or go with Core i3 and a low end GPU (not recommended in the long run).

Hi thanks for the reply. Would like to ask about the processor, is i5 6400 really worth the price if compared with i3 6100 ?
Did some google search and found this review, Im not sure whether its trust able or not. Here is he link : i3 vs i5 . From the website I found that both having almost same performance, i5 do have slight advantage. Will i5 6400 bring huge difference in term of performance compared to i3 ? Thanks once again.

Is there any major difference between Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) vs Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4). Sorry for the very noob question. Im following this thread regularly and found that each time different types of motherboard being recommended but I still couldn't figure out the main difference other than number of SATA Ports, different types of display port, USB port etc.

From Lazada actually. Thought of buying 2 items from there. BenQ monitor & another item, total is RM1000 exactly. Last week Lazada was having spring sales and I was planning to use the RM200 firework voucher but before I do the transaction the voucher used up. Should blame myself actually because was thinking whether should get it or not for too long. Not sure when the next fireworks will come.
