http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/easyit2u.htm

hello guys I want to upgrade my rig. maybe change mobo ram and processor only. right now I have 500 watt psu coolermaster cap ayam.
budget in rm 1.5k. In my mind want upgrade to I5 processor and mobo that support ddr4 ram. This rig will using for recording and sound engineering software. Please kindly recommend me something. TY.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 857
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 486
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168

Total: RM 1511 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

HD 530 is almost equivalent to GT740/R7 250 which is slightly more powerful than GT750M.

Yes, if you oc it, it is likely to have GT650's performance.

Hi guys...

Need help in building a completely new rig to replace my dead laptop. The budget is RM1500. If possible the performance be better than my Lenovo Y400. The budget is for the whole set including monitor. If not possible, just lists the parts for the pc only...

I will use it for engineering/3d modelling softwares and gaming, mostly gaming...

Thank you very very much for your troubles

Noted. Done.

1.5k is a very low budget so don't expect it will provide you a lot of performance improvements over your old laptop (is it i7 3630QM + GT750M 2GB GDDR5 version?)

What games you wish to play? Dota 2, CS:GO? Or triple A titles?

And BTW don't include monitor in your 1.5k budget, allocate another small amount of money for it.

Yes, that's the one....
I usually play AAA titles.. And I usually prefer smooth fps over beautiful graphics, if I have to choose... Those recent games are already decent at low settings in my eyes...

i7 3630QM is a quad core octa thread mobile CPU while the cheapest desktop equivalent (in terms of core/thread) is i7 which will cost you 1.5k (yes it will take all your available budget).

1.5k can only get you this,

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 496
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Bitfenix Nova - RM 149

Total: RM 1505 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

No dedicated GPU so you need to rely on the iGPU for the time being, the performance is almost equivalent to GT740/R7 250, get a more powerful GPU next time when you have more money, the PSU should be able to support it provided you aren't going for the most high end GPU.

I've been asking around and I found one suggesting me this for 1.5k

Proc: Intel Pentium G320 3.2.GHz
Mobo: H81M G1 gaming
Ram: Hyper X 8 GB ram
GPU: ASUS GTX 750ti
HDD: 1TB hdd
Casing: T1X armageddon
PSU: FSP Hexa 650watt

How does this fare compared to your suggestion? Is the price similar?

A lot of missing/wrong information listed.

There is no G320 CPU, no H81M G1 gaming mobo, no FSP Hexa 650 PSU in the market and an unknown model of Asus GTX750Ti (1GB or 2GB?)

If you mean G3250 CPU then take note that it is last gen hardware (some people will mind, so just FYI), it is a pure dual core CPU (w/o HT), so this is a very huge downgrade from your current laptop.

If you run Dota 2/CS:GO with this specs, then you can expect to run at fairly high settings, for triple A titles, this dual core CPU might cause some issues.

As for price, it is slightly expensive than the previously suggested build but it comes with a dedicated GPU.

So it's better to build the previous spec and just add a gpu somewhere down the line right..
Is this gtx 750 ti good enough for my needs, used with your spec?

For your current situation, yes I recommend to go for Skylake i3 and use the iGPU for casual gaming for the time being and add a more powerful GPU later when you have money for it.

Running triple A titles with GTX750Ti is not really ideal as the frame rate it can produce is not so encouraging even with the all the settings on low, but your choice, if you are ok with this then go ahead.

Thanks man, you've been a great help! Thank you so much!

No problem, you can consider PowerColor R9 270 too, around RM 530 only but it is much faster than GTX750Ti.
