[Budget] 2000-3000

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] Require.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, COD, Dragon Age inquisition, 3D CAD designing

[Personal preferences] Just mainly for hardcore gaming in the future. Stopped as my laptop hasnt been able to perform after 4 years of service.

[Location] PJ, Selangor

Personal Question, do recommend which internet wireless card and also a sound card. Sound card as Im an audiophile (beginner) but im not sure if it does play a difference in the sound quality played on more expensive cards.
Sorry if the question seem silly sad.gif Do advice! biggrin.gif

If you can increase your budget to slightly over 3k, then get this.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 828
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 290
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200
Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 ITX - RM 849
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
TP-LINK TL-WN881ND PCI-E WiFi - RM 58
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 170
Acer S230H FHD - RM 399

Total: RM 3198 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If cannot, downgrade the CPU to i3 6100.

As for sound card, I suggest you to use the built in one first as your budget is not able to fit it, high end sound card can cost you a bomb.

Hey, thanks for the help. I have another question upon the Intel chips. What's the major diff between Intel Core i5 6400 and Intel Corei i5 4460? From what I saw online, both are of the same price (Took from intel website) however, i5 4460 has a process base frequency of 3.4GHz while i5 6400 has a process base frequency of only 2.7 GHz. Why did you choose 6400 over 4460? Thank you smile.gif
