May i ask what the pros and cons between AMD R9 and Nvidia GTX?
If I want dual screen and gaming keyboard like razer blackwidow X ultimate, what should I cut?
*
R9 390 vs GTX970

It is 8GB VRAM on R9 390 and is having more raw performance but power consumption is higher than GTX970.

To include another another monitor and expensive peripherals, you can downgrade the CPU to i5, change to cheaper mobo, drop SSD etc.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 773
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 148
Zotac GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1397
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha Black - RM 219
BenQ GL2460 x 2 - RM 1020
Razer BlackWidow X Ultimate - RM 429

Total: RM 5001 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Due to budget issue, I have to switch to GTX970 so I can downgrade to lower grade PSU.

Thin bezel monitor is more suitable for dual/triple monitors setup, you can consider getting a Dell UltraSharp (super thin bezel IPS panel) monitor first and add another one later when you have more budget.

It is limited to selected Gigabyte model only AFAIK, the price of Gigabyte card is very expensive which makes the deal not worth even with free RM 100 Steam Wallet, I suggest you to wait for next gen GPU instead if you are going to spend 1.8k just for a GTX970.

Hi guys. I would like to build my first ever budget gaming rig that can handle mid - high end graphic demanding games. If it's possible I would like to have a 120hertz monitor, but I don't think it will fit into the price range. If so, then recommend me something that is 1080p or 1440p that are bang for my bucks. I only demand for smooth 60fps on any games that i will list below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Budget] RM2.8k - RM3.5k ( less is better )

[Purpose] Moderate gaming, extensive use of youtube and movies

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Keyboard, mouse

[Monitor Resolution] 1080p/1440p ( depend on my budget )

[Games and softwares that use frequently] Rocket League, H1Z1 ( high or ultra settings at 60fps if possible ), Tomb Raider, Hitman:Absolution, War Thunder, GTA V, Words/Powerpoint

[Personal Preferences] 120hertz monitor if possible, 1080p resolution is minimum, R9 390 or Gtx 970? And which is better? i5 is a must over i3.

[Location] KL

That's all for my requirements. I hope money won't limit your suggestion for better performance as I'm a newbie to all this IT stuff. Thanks

You might be a little bit too ambitious on your available budget sweat.gif

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 773
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 148
Zotac GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1397
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Bifenix Nova - RM 149
BenQ GW2270 - RM 429

Total: RM 3588 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

R9 390 is slightly better but your budget cannot fit it, even if you top up a little bit for it, you still need to change to a more decent PSU due to its higher power consumption status, which requires even more top up.

1080p 120/144Hz monitor is > 1.1k, prepare more money if you want to jump ship to it, same goes to 1440p which is even more expensive than 1080p 120/144Hz.

Hi all,

Budget:2500 MYR (CPU only)
Usage: light gaming, cloud computing, MS office and visio for system design, HD movie.
Prefer Xeon or Skylake I5, At least 8GB Ram, SSD.

Reuse: Chassis, Hard Disk.

*Must be reliable, no sudden downtime.
*
System 100% up time is hard to guarantee.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 773
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 148
Palit GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 StormX OC - RM 509
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188

Total: RM 2230 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

You can max out your budget by getting GTX960, Xeon E3 1230 V5 + C232 mobo upgrade will cause slight over budget though.

hdd also not needed as i have an extra unit laying around
it's just for basic usage like internet browsing & movies.
Intel or AMD build would be fine.

Suggested 4th gen i3 so I can fit GTX950 with minimal over budget, you should be grateful if latest games can run well on this rig, don't put so high hope on getting good frame rate on med or high settings.

thanks man for your suggestion  thumbup.gif

i'm thinking that 4GB RAM would've suffice for my usage.
do you have any suggestion for casing that can fit 4pcs 3.5" HDD?
*
4GB vs 8GB, the price difference is too small, I suggest you opt for 8GB instead.

Cheap mITX case normally comes with 2 or 3 3.5" HDD bays only, swap to mATX for more HDD bays.

If you want new set then it is very hard to find leftover parts of LGA1155 since it is long obsoleted.
