Hi guys,

Need to your advice again before I commit to anything

[cool.gif [Budget] RM 2200

[Purpose] Work and gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] HDD, Monitor

[Monitor resolution] My current monitor is only 720p, but I'm keeping it for now. Might wanna upgrade sometime later

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Warframe, Photoshop; Would like to be able to play GTA V, Witcher 3, MGS V with decent performance

[Personal preferences] can I get an i5 and a GTX 960 with this budget? Open to other GPU recommendations, but I'd like to at least have the i5

[Location] KL

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 769
ASRock H81M-VG4 - RM 189
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 199
Leadtek GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Hurricane - RM 879
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199

Total: RM 2235 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

You can have i5 + GTX960 if you reuse your case too. If you need front USB 3.0 & PCI-E 3.0 support, top up and upgrade to a better mobo.

Thanks Terence.

I don't think I can use my old casing. It's a standard casing like those you see in schools, offices and such. I'm not sure if it can fit all these new hardware. Also, if I were to upgrade the mobo, how much would I need to top up, and what difference will it make? Sorry, I really don't know a thing about mobos rclxub.gif . Please enlighten me.

Thank you.

According to their price list here, no more GTX960 for just RM 739. The cheapest starts with Zotac Single Fan version, RM 815 which is still quite affordable.

Hi Terence, just gonna piggyback on this comment. What's the difference between the Zotac Single fan version and the normal GTX 960?

I would obviously assume that it only has one fan, but does that have a huge impact performance-wise? And with its lower price tag, will it provide more bang for the buck, or would it be better to just spend a little more and get the normal GTX 960?

Thanks.
