FreeSync (only works with compatible AMD GPU):

ViewSonic VX2457-mhd 24" 1080p 60Hz TN - RM 699
AOC G2460VQ6 24" 1080p 60Hz TN - RM 799
AOC G2778VQ 27" 1080p 60Hz TN - RM 989
AOC G2460PF 24" 1080p 144Hz TN - RM 1139

GSync (only works with compatible Nvidia GPU):

Acer Predator XB241H 24" 1080p 144Hz (support OC up to 180Hz) TN - RM 1899

The variable frame rate monitor is worth it but you have to pay extra $100 to Nvidia for their GSync module while FreeSync doesn't have to, that's why FreeSync monitor is much cheaper than GSync monitor.

Edit: Added RRP.

all those Freesync/Gsync monitors are above Rm1k? damn... haha

btw i heard that Kaby Lake will be released in Q3 2016. should i wait for it or just buy the skylake now? will be there significant price drop compared to last gens?

The AOC 144 Hz Freesync around RM 1,170. Acer Predator 144 Hz G-Sync Rm 1,799 - RM 1,899. RM 600 to RM 700 goes to Nvidia?

Added the price in my previous post.

Usually mobile processor will release first, desktop processor will follow later, this is the traditional Intel processor release roadmap, so please expect desktop processor to have a Q4 release or early Q1 2017 release if it gets delayed.

The performance improvement is small from generation to generation (< 15% in average). If you ask me if it is worth to wait, well I would say if you aren't rushing to get the rig and can wait till late Q4 2016, then just play the waiting games, if cannot wait then just get the Skylake which is more than enough for daily task/gaming nowadays.

There seems to be shortage of stock on the Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz ValueSelect RAM.

Do you have any opinion on the Kingston Value RAM 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz KVR21N15D8/16?

I am thinking of using the Gigabyte H170-D3HP which has USB3.1 type C.

Will it matters if I use 1 piece of 16GB or 2 pieces of 16GB. Any stability issues with 2 pieces?
Any performance hits if just use a single piece?

Yes, Kingston Value RAM will work as well, same goes to Adata/GSKill/Crucial Value RAM etc.

1 pc of 16GB = 1 x 16GB = 16GB

2 pcs of 16GB = 2 x 16GB = 32 GB

If you mean 2 x 8GB = 16GB, then the RAM will run on dual channel mode (optimum setup) which will be slightly faster than 1 x 16GB, but it is very hard to notice the difference in real life usage unless you benchmark it.

Is there any freesync with VA panel or IPS at reasonable price?

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini Coming To Malaysia Soon
RM 1,219

same speed as FE too.

https://www.lowyat.net/2016/109940/zotac-ge...on-for-rm-1219/

man those RX480 better drop in price soon.

After a change in mind i might want a overclockable build instead because i will be using it for long without upgrading for few years. Apart from changing the proc to 6700k and mobo to Z170, mayb a hydro cooler anything else to add?

For 1080p, no, we have limited choices in Malaysia.

Get a faster RAM for the build too, Skylake CPU does show some significant performance boosts when paired with high speed RAM.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1246
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - RM 699
Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3200MHz RAM - RM 460
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 255
Corsair Hydro H100i V2 - RM 508
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363
Tecware Alpha - RM 199

CPU cooler can either be air or liquid cooler, high end liquid cooler will have better heat dissipation but it is more expensive and carry the risk of liquid leak which may damage other components if it really happens. Air cooler on the other hand is more safe in this case but the size could be an issue to the case (need to check clearance) and doesn't contribute to aesthetic purpose.

If you hate LED, change the RAM to Vengeance LPX series, it is slightly cheaper (can save roughly RM 50+/-).

Case can be upgraded to a more modern/good looking/more features one if you need it for aesthetic purpose/long lasting etc.

My current built

I7 6700 rm1315 (postage)
Asus H170 pro gaming mobo rm465
16gb Corsair lpx 2666mhz 8x2. Yeah i know mobo only suporrt 2133 but its only rm300 not much diff from value ram and it has cool heat sink!
Palix superjet 1070 rm1900
Psu corsair tx850m (4years psu)
crucial m ssd 120gb for boot only (4years old)
Noctua d14 (2years)
Casing cm 690 advanced ii

My system ok ? Just bought the new cpu gpu ram and mobo

Still pending completion my Cpu and gpu not yet arrive

I was thinking of upgrading my ram to 3000Mhz from 2666Mhz, is it worth it ?

Everything is fine.

Not so worth if you need to spend a lot for this upgrade.

Hi want to ask sifu here, does CM hyper T4 perform cooling enough for i7 6700k ?(no plan to oc but max up in heavy gaming...)

This post has been edited by Tokyoboy2000: Jul 21 2016, 06:13 PM

It is an entry level aftermarket cooler, it performs slightly better than stock cooler and suitable for non-OC build, if your ambient temperature is high (~30C), then I suggest you to get a better one like CM Hyper 212X.

Noted. Thanks

Maybe can top up a bit to get water cooler..no regret..

High pcmasterrace experts, i would like to build my first pc.. here are my info

Is monitor required as well?

Before this, I bought my 8Gb of 2666Mhz ram for 300, now I can even get 16Gb of 3000Mhz ram for just RM3xx, It it ok ? usually high speed ram is just helps on gaming is it ? how on daily usage ? Browsing, Rendering, etc
