QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Dec 28 2015, 02:15 PM) You can't run Fallout 4 at highest settings at 60 FPS with your current budget, if you don't mind low FPS then go ahead. Thanks for the prompt reply. Extra space for the motherboard as in more slots for RAM. I am not a hardcore gamer so dont see myself using SLI/CF anytime soon. Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 876 MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 399 Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200 Zotac GTX960 2GB GDDR5 ITX - RM 799 (Christmas promotion) Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 229 FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189 Deepcool Tesseract - RM 129 Total: RM 2821 (Techview price inclusive of GST) Mobo with extra space for future upgrade? Do you mean more RAM slots? Or SATA? Or PCI-E? The mobo chosen above has 4 RAM slots and 6 SATA 3 ports as well as 1 PCI-E x16 (standard) and 2 PCI-E x1 slots, should be enough for you, if you mean you want SLI/CF feature, then it is way too much for your budget, Z170 mobo with SLI/CF feature will cost at least RM 700+/-. You have some budget left, either swap to ATX mobo (with more PCI-E slots etc.) or change to a better case (your own choice but make sure the form factor is correct) or get a better PSU.  |

Hi guys! Please recommend a rig configuration based on these info.
[Budget] Rm3000 [Purpose] Gaming [Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor, keyboard, mouse and HDD [Monitor resolution] 720p and higher [Games & softwares that use frequently] Starcraft2, Diablo 3, Fallout 4 (Would like to run those on the highest setting.) [Personal preferences] Processor: Intel Core i5 6500 Motherboard: I dont foresee myself using SLI or Crossfire so these feature will not be needed. Would prefer a robust mobo which is durable with 4 slots for RAM. GPU: Mid range value for money GPU. Will consider spending more for a GPU with higher performance. Chasis: ATX PSU: Durable and future-proof for upgrading [Location] Sabah Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Jan 19 2016, 05:28 PM) Highest settings in Fallout 4 will not provide a very good gaming experience due to unstable FPS, unless you disable or tune down some of the costly settings like God-rays and shadow distance quality. Thanks for the prompt reply. Does that mean that if i were to increase my budget to RM3500 I can get a i5 6500 + GTX970 setup? By the way, what is the difference between the Gigabyte H170-HD3 and B150M-D3H?BTW 3k cannot get you a i5 + GTX970 nowadays and it will set you back to GTX960/R9 380 only. Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 885 Gigabyte H170-HD3 - RM 529 GSKill NT 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 249 Asus GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Turbo - RM 949 FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199 Bitfenix Nova - RM 149 Total: RM 2960 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST) If you are willing to spend more, you can swap the GPU to GTX970, the cheapest GTX970 is Palit reference card (a.k.a Single Fan model), RM 1399. The mobo can be downgraded to mATX mobo with 4 RAM slots like Gigabyte B150M-D3H, RM 439 to save some money, case can remain the same (or choose other case you prefer) since it can fit mATX also. As for PSU, to get something durable and future proof, you can consider Seasonic M12II EVO 620W or Leadex Silver 650W, RM 409 and RM 399 respectively, so when you opt for high end card, you don't have to change it. Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Jan 20 2016, 09:56 AM) Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 885 Thanks again bro,Gigabyte H170-HD3 - RM 529 GSKill NT 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 249 Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1399 FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199 Bitfenix Nova - RM 149 Total: RM 3410 (Idealtech price inclusive of GST) H170-HD3 is ATX mobo, more PCI-E slots while B150M-D3H is mATX mobo, lesser PCI-E slots. This is what i have in mind at the moment. Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 885 Gigabyte B150M-D3H - RM 439 GSKill NT 8GBx2 DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 489 Palit GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1399 FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199 Bitfenix Nova - RM 149 WD 1TB HDD - RM 219 What will be the bottleneck for this setup? Is the 16GB RAM a bit overkill here? Thanks in advance. |
