Is the PSU new unit or used unit?

Odin Pro is a 9 years old PSU and I don't think it is still under production anymore.

Yes is the old one and already test still perform well

Oh no wonder, I thought there is still some left over stock for this ancient PSU

budget around rm5.5k to 6k

gonna play dota, witcher 3, bf4, edge

thx alot

Haha ya is really an old one, properly 8 years old, but surprise that it still perform well. So is that ok for the spec in my list ?

Possible but with compromise (mATX mobo, no SSD, 1080p60 VA monitor only etc.)

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1284
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 147
Palit GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X Jetstream - RM 2960
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Gold 650W - RM 420
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
BenQ GW2470H - RM 480

Total: RM 6078 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Specs wise is fine.

Please ensure the CPU cooler can fit in the case.

Yup not included of the VR headset. Just the rig itself. Can it support multiple VR headsets?

Ok thanks

Confirm not overkill. For AAA titles, you want as much framerates as you can so the framerate dip doesn't hurt your gaming experience.

Note that even if it's overkill today, it won't be in the near future.

New game titles are beginning to take a toll on older cards even on Full HD when details are set towards the maximum.

Refer to titles like GTA V, The Division, Ashes of the Singularity and Hitman, among many other titles. Rise of Tomb Raider for example. Benchmarks on those games at high detail settings don't reach 3 digit mark.

Hey guys, looking to upgrade my current PC. The specs are below

Intel Pentium G3250
MSI H81M-P33
Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
Radeon HD5770
Extreme Power Plus 460W PSU
WD 1 TB HDD


[Budget] RM1k

[Purpose] Mild gaming, watching videos or movies

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota, Diablo and Overwatch

[Location] KL, Selangor

Any advice on what to add or replace? Any help is greatly appreciated

Any good substitute for Seasonic Evo M12II as Etech ran out of stock. What about FSP Aurum 600W Plus Gold?

Thanks bos!!

Supporting 2 VR headsets could potentially bring up some performance issues in those heavy coordinate tracking related games, 1 VR headset per PC is more preferred.

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1426
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - RM 699
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3200MHz RAM - RM 442
Palit GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X Jetstream - RM 2960
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 255
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Gold 650W - RM 420
Corsair Hydro H100i V2 - RM 508
NZXT S340 - RM 330

Total: RM 7249 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

As for 8 - 10k build, it is pretty much the same, you can switch to GTX1070 SLI but VR doesn't work nicely with SLI currently (at least with all games) so sticking to a single GTX1080 is still a better choice, or you can SLI the GTX1080 in the future if needed (or completely swap to newer GPU like Pascal Titan X or GTX1080Ti). CPU can be upgraded to hexa core i7 6800K but it is not necessary at the moment unless you really keen to run multiple VR headsets on it which requires more CPU juice for motion tracking. Take note that VR headset requires tons of USB ports (at least 2 or 3 USB 3.0 ports are needed).

Sell your G3250 and HD5770 (mostly can sell for RM 250+/-), get a new i3 4160/4170 and GTX750Ti, add another 4GB RAM and 120GB SSD if possible.

Superflower Leadex Gold.
