As st4Lk3rz said, no need Z170, H170 is fine or even B150 ones are enough without extra features you might not use.

GTX 960 4GB??? Everywhere I look in lelong, this is 1k to 1.1k, definitely not a good choice when R9 380X 4GB is just RM 1140. Or you can go with a normal GTX 960 2GB, RM 830, and the money saved, get a HyperX Fury 120GB for RM 217.30.

Try to get a Seasonic PSU, like SeaSonic Power Supply S12G GOLD 650W (S12G-650) EM 466.40 or Seasonic Power Supply M12II BRONZE 620W (SS-620GM2) RM 381.60.

You can try a balanced approach and get a SSD instead. HyperX Fury 120GB is RM 218, the remaining money use to upgrade from GTX 960 (RM 840) to a R9 380X 4GB (RM 1140).

You can also beef up the power supply, from Seasonic M12II EVO 520W - RM 349 to a Seasonic S12G 550w RM 387.

DELL Monitor LED IPS Ultra Sharp 24.1' U2415 : RM 1314.40
CPU - i7 6700 - RM 1336
Mobo - GIGABYTE H170-GAMING 3 - RM 546
RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400mhz - RM 220
GPU - MSI GF GTX970 OC 4GB - RM 1527
SSD - HyperX Fury 240GB - RM 383
HDD - WD 1TB : RM 220
PSU - Seasonic S12G 550W - RM 387
Case - Phanteks Enthoo Pro M - RM 315
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212X - RM 150
Fans - NZXT FN12, RM 30 each, take 3 - RM 90

Total RM 6488..

Yea, total overkill for DOTA2.

Hi, you can just use the stock cooler. It's just a personal preference, a PC with such a budget deserve a better/quieter cooling solution.

You can try contacting ETechPC and CastleIT on facebook to give you quotations. They should have most, if not all models listed.

You can also browse the components on Lelong.

On that quote;


intel core i7-6700 = RM 1378
* ETechPC is only RM 1319

asus maximus viii ranger mainboard = RM 1077
* You don't need a Z170 board.

corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (8gb x2) = RM 482
* Probably don't need 16GB, and Corsair brand are slightly more expensive also.

samsung 850evo 240gb ssd = RM 445
* You can save RM 60-70 from choosing a HyperX Fury 240GB, with not noticeable difference in normal performance.

asus gtx970 4gb dcu ii strix graphic card = RM 1899
* Asus brand carries a huge premium in Malaysia market, just how it is here. Best get a plainer version.

corsair 600c atx casing = RM 640
* Again, Corsair case is overpriced, you can get quality ones from Phanteks/Fractal Design/NZXT for less.

corsair rm750i power supply = RM 713
* 750W is overkill, Corsair are overpriced, you only need 550w. Just get a Seasonic G-Series 550w or 650w and save a few hundred.

total = RM 6634 ( its over budget)

I still stand by my recommendation earlier. Oh, might want to include a copy of Windows in your budget.

Hi, since your budget is 3k, quoted above is only 2813. You may want to use the balance RM 187 to get a better PSU. Seasonic S12G 550W 80+ Gold is RM 385.

Thanks.

I am pretty wary about Windows 10, I think I'll wait a while for it to stabilize?

Wah lau eh.......... without GST???

You can try search in lelong, there is certainly better price from others with GST added.

Get single stick of 8GB ram instead of 2x4GB Ram.

Idealtech have a higher price than others but that comes with aftersales services. Choice is yours.

Oh yes, Ipoh price is often a markup of RM 40-50. Hence I normally buy stuff online, more selection as well.

But within KL also, some are cheaper. Most of the time I browse Lelong, prices of CastleIT and ETechPC are mostly cheaper, even than the Lowyat pricelist.

Like ; i7 6700,

CastleIT : RM 1374.82
ETechPC : RM 1319
TechView: RM 1389

etc, etc.
