You can always customize the rig yourself, not necessary need to follow what Idealtech had posted on their website, those rigs are for references only.

They did sell parts without casing included, but price will be slightly different I think, not sure if they count it as full rig or not if without casing.
Typo from Viewnet.

Yahh.

Just wondering if 380 or gtx960 is better

Or gtx970 2nd hand unit? But it will bottleneck with i3 right.

Hexa 550w is sufficient?

R9 380 is slightly faster than GTX960 in raw performance but it is not leading GTX960 in all games though, thanks to Nvidia GameWorks.

If you want better performance out of the box without doing too much tweaking to the card, GTX960 will be a much wiser choice, it consumes less power too.

GTX970 is almost twice the performance of GTX960, if you don't mind 2nd hand item then of course it will be a great addition to the rig. Bottleneck issue depends on the games you play, those CPU demanding games will suffer some CPU bottlenecks but most of the time your are still safe because latest Skylake i3 is a very capable CPU for gaming.

FSP Hexa+ 550W is enough for GTX960, for R9 380 it should be enough too but you are recommended to get a better PSU to run AMD card due to power hungry.

Oh i3 4160 is skylake?

Or is it haswell?

New 4gb evga gtx960 is rm1099 while gtx970 is bout 1.2k

Is hexa 550w enough to juice up gtx970?

Nope I mean i3 6100.

i3 4160 is Haswell.

The 4GB GTX960 is overpriced TBH, GTX970 is more worth in value and yes the Hexa 550W can power up GTX970 without issue.

Idealtech pricelist is stating full rig can get RM 100 off on GPU, so I am not sure if the price shown in the pricelist is already discounted or before discount, interested buyer can ask them for a quotation.

Hi all sifu.

Helping friend to request a low budget around RM2.5k for mATX CPU only.

Thanks.
