This depends on your budget and the frame rate you aim to get.

Cheapest 1080p 144Hz monitor is around RM 1150, for example, Acer XB240H and BenQ XL2411Z.

Not just the game itself can support up to 144Hz, even the normal desktop also runs on 144Hz which is way smoother than 60Hz, if you haven't tried 144Hz before, then you might think that 60Hz is smooth enough already, but once you tried 144Hz, you will feel the lag when you see 60Hz monitor 

Find a 144Hz demo monitor and move the mouse cursor and you will know 

i tried vulkan, not sure if really is vulkan as didnt notice any difference.

tried spectating a game, with few minutes:

GPU 86%, CPU 100%

Technically it should work, but if you are mixing different type of RAM (speed/latency/model), then there is always a chance that your mobo refuses to accept them.

Dual channel will still work (2 x 4GB + 2 x 8GB) because it works in pairs, just make sure you are install the same model in the correct slot (same color).

Getting similar type/model is always recommended.

Hi Terence, thanks for reply.

I am not getting GTX1070.. what I mean is when they release probably the lower GPU prices will drop. I hope to get a cheaper GTX960 or GTX970 if possible.

Yea i can wait. AMD RX480 is equivalent to Nvidia =? sorry not familiar with AMD but i'm ok with both brand.

You are right, my friends also recommend me to wait..... hmm

If you are buying from Lowyat Plaza, then please take note the price and product choice will be different.

My personal opinion:

1. If you are driving to Lowyat Plaza, prepare for massive traffic jam (Jalan Imbi and on the way to LYP).
2. Parking rate is expensive (RM 2.70/hour).
3. Don't think it is possible to get there by public transport (LRT/Monorial/KTM) because it will be very hard for you to bring the rig back to home.
4. Price and product choice aren't that attractive anymore compared to the past.

Paking.

Crowd.

More or less same price.

Got many opt. For me to go like Etech Kepong or idealtech pandan indah. Both are near to my house just parking problem and not to crowd.

Got another questions sifus,

If i were to get a new mid-high tier graphic card (RX480 or GTX970 or R7 370), would it be better to put in my current rig:-

I5 - 4440 @ 3.10ghz
8gb ram
asrock mini itx
gtx 660
128gb ssd
1tb hdd
psu - forget

OR

better to put it into my old rig as stated in my siggy?

PS: My old rig GPU burnt.
