I see, thanks mate. This should be enough to get me going.

i think 350W is enought to power a GTX750ti or even the new low power GTX950 (not sure if available in malaysia)
why dont you spend extra RM40 get a better PSU, 100W extra
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 166

terence_nwb
can you confirm FSP Hexa+ series is generally better then CM Elite? capacitors etc....

Hello sifus. Need a new PC mainly for Photoshop works.

Budget - Max RM1800
Purpose - Photoshop works and daily usage
Hardwares that will be re-use - None
Monitor resolution - 1080p
Games & softwares that use frequently - Photoshop and Illustrator. No gaming
Personal preferences - SSD is a must. Case must looks normal and not gaming look-ish. 8GB RAM
Location - KL

Actually, I did looked around myself and based from previous recommendations, I got this build.

Intel Core i3-6100 - RM 476
Asus H110M-K - RM 273
Corsair Value Select 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 128
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 195
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 213
Cooler Master Elite Power 350W - RM 126
Cooler Master Elite 343 - RM 129
BenQ GW2270 - RM 379
Logitech MK200 Combo - RM 63

= RM 1982 (Prices are from ETech lelong)

Please comment and advice what to downgrade as it went over budget. I'm not quite sure about the monitor. Is there any good cheaper alternative than the BenQ GW2270? I just chose that because I seen it being recommended a lot.

All replies are much appreciated. Thank you

CM Elite Power is also made by FSP, so the material choice so be around the same with low end series FSP PSU.

Downgrading to Haswell (4th gen) will save you some money, but dropping the SSD is more ideal for low budget PC, since you said SSD is a must then I guess you have to live with the over budget, the products listed in the build are almost the cheapest possible combination that you can build now.

If you don't care about monitor resolution and size, try to look for 15.6/17" 720/900p, should be around RM 300 only.

Budget: RM 3k

Purpose: Gaming and some work

Hardwares that will be re-use: HDD & SSD. Monitor. Keyboard & Mouse. Speaker

Monitor resolution: 1920x1080 (HP Pavilion 27 inch)

Games & softwares that use frequently: FPS (Such as COD BlackOps III), Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft word/excel

Personal preferences: AMD GPU

Thanks !

New GPU is coming soon, if you can wait then please hold on for a while.

Intel Skylake provides more raw performance/power compared to the aged AMD Piledriver, are you sure you still want to stay with the dead AMD AM3+ platform?

If you really want to stay with AMD, I recommend you to wait for AMD Zen instead, the current one is not worth to invest anymore.

I saw Intel's price kinda high or perhaps you can suggest any Skylake quad core proc? I would be doing mild OC on it though.

No worries on the AMD cause I just list down the build now while waiting for the AMD Zen.

Thank you for your suggestion bro !
I heard some news talking about new GPU more faster and more cheaper than current GPU < is that right ?

You get what you pay for, Intel might be a little bit expensive compared to AMD but the raw performance or out-of-box performance is way better than AMD currently.

You can go for i5 6500 + Z170 and a CPU cooler if stock cooler doesn't make the cut after mild OC, this is via BCLK OC, for multiplier (ratio) OC, you need 6600K/6700K.

Faster: Yes, if still the same performance then no point to release new generation, unless it is a rebadged GPU, but both Polaris and Pascal are new architecture so no worries on this.

Cheaper: Most likely nope, those announced prices are usually for US market only, when it reaches Malaysia, import tax/GST/distributor mark up will make the card to be way more expensive than the original announced price, we should be grateful if the price stays the same with current gen with some performance improvements

I see, just did a quick google on Z170 and it supports DDR4. Did some few adjustments

CPU - i5 6600K - RM966
Cooling - Corsair H60 - RM299
Motherboard - Asrock Z170 Pro4 - RM578
Ram - HyperX Fury (4GBx2) - RM189
GPU -
PSU - Seasonic 520w - RM265
Casing - NZXT S340 - RM325
Soundcard - Asus Sonar DG - RM139
Monitor - Any 24" IPS

Add a GTX750Ti if you only play Dota 2 and CS:GO.

As for monitor, you can look for Dell S2316H (glossy screen) or Acer R241Y (matte screen).

Glossy will create reflection if you are under bright light source but color is nicer with glossy screen and vice versa.

Yea still good but the upgrade ability is depend on what you want to upgrade, CPU/RAM/PCIe/HDD/SSD/PSU etc, it is too general to say it can support all upcoming upgrades but don't expect everything can be upgraded easily when the PSU selection is the low end one due to budget constraint.

But for your usage, it should last you quite a while, most likely you will only need to get a larger size HDD or add a SSD to improve the responsiveness of the system in the future.

Is there any different if I uphrade to 13 6100, just need to add a few bucks

You get a minor 0.1GHz bump and a faster iGPU (HD 510 vs HD 530) by swapping to i3 6100.

If you don't game with this rig at all, you can stick with i3 6098P.

New GPU u mean the Nvidia 1070/1080 series?. Any idea what is the expected price would be

Both Nvidia and AMD.

GTX1080 - 3k (Founder's Edition)

GTX1070 - at least 1.8k

AMD - unknown, unannounced yet.

I see then i better off waiting for GTX1070 to build my new rig
