Some rendering software and importing RAW images into PS will take advantage of the hyperthreading technology of i7 which reduce the time needed to finish the operation, changing to i5 will increase the time needed mostly, if you are ok with it then i5 is a great choice to save some money.

noob question, is there some kind of  Y cable and plug those 2x 12V @ 18A rail into 1x output as parallel? so maybe it will become 12V @ 36A?

Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363
Seasonic S12II-620 620W  - RM 303
Are these basically the same PSU?
with RM60 difference?

the difference i can spot are below, dont think it gives much value added
Seems like the modula EVO version has:

- modular
- Gold plated terminals

Seems like the non EVO, non modular version has:
http://www.lelong.com.my/seasonic-s12ii-62...6-12-Sale-P.htm
- non-modular cables
- super high efficiency upto 87%
- double forward converter design
- soft mount rubber cushions
- all in one cable design
- patent easy swap connectors

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1294 (change to i5)

hi terence, thanks for your explanation.
if i change to i5, will it affect my gaming other than rendering?
if no, appreciate you can suggest a i5 series which is suitable for my usage. thanks!

If you go with non Z170 mobo, you cannot overclock the RAM and it will downclock itself to 2133MHz even though you have a 2666MHz RAM.

But jumping from 2133MHz to 2666MHz doesn't bring significant improvements (mostly benchmark only), > 3000MHz is more preferred if you really keen on high speed RAM.

New Skylake CPU and mobo are recommended to run DDR4 RAM which means you gonna need to change RAM too if you were to choose Skylake platform which is a better choice than the aged AMD platform for now.

What's your budget?

So should i go for z170 board?

If you are getting Z170 just for the sake of overclocking the RAM (from 2133 to 2666), then it is not worth, performance gain is too little (bad price/performance ratio).

yes, I m planning to change CPU, mobo, ram and also the casing. My budget is around rm 1200 - 1500 for those 3 and a cooler master k282 casing, so i need a mobo that supports 2 usb 3 at front and total of 6 usb at back

I am not particularly tight on budget, so I might raise my budget if its worth the price and  i might add a SSD

Thank you

No need Y cable from external, the internal components of the PSU will take care of that.

They are basically the same, M comes with modular while S doesn't.

Oh let me get this straight if a PSU has 2x cable 12V @ 18A each
and i got a gpu that needs say 25A, i can just plug in a single cable of 12v and it will deliver 25A provided i dont use the 2nd cable at all.

Should i go performance motherboard if run non K processor?

There's no such thing as a performance motherboard. No motherboard improves the gaming performance.

For the motherboard, can go for the MSI B150M Bazooka D4, around RM399-419 and for the RAM, Corsair or Kingston Value RAM 1x8GB DDR4 2133MHz, should be around RM190-210..but since you render videos, would be better to go for 2 sticks of 8GB.

I'm looking for atx motherboard.

The Gigabyte ATX mobo (Z170 & H170) you listed earlier is good enough for daily use.

If you are looking for so-called "performance" mobo, then it depends on how you define "performance", but they don't really provide any extra/significant "performance" to the system.

About ram, any significant difference performance if using 2133mhz or 2666mhz? Price not so much different.

Hi guys, a friend of mine would like to spend some money on his gaming rig.
Can u guys please suggest the setup for him.
