My ageing Acer Veriton (small footprint desktop) is beginning to give me BSODs and I have to be prepared to break my piggy bank for a new rig.

I'd like a recommendation for under 2K if possible for a new rig to replace it. I use my machine for work (Acad, Office) and some data processing using proprietary software which may be graphics intensive. No games.

Any chance that this can be a small footprint would be great because I don't have a lot of desk space and I prefer to not put it on the floor.

And yes I will be using my existing monitors. I just need the rig. Note that my monitors use VGA and DVI connectors (old versions).

Thanks and regards

Hi there Terence, after going through some research, I've decided to go for a Mini-ITX build so at least it's easier to carry my PC around as I'm studying and sometimes I do go back home for a few months. I'm eyeing the
SILVERSTONE RVZ02 MINI-ITX from Etech. Any recommended build for it? Planning to up my budget to 3-3.5k if needed. Thank you so much!

144hz monitor bought already so no need to be included in the budget hehe. Okay will go with i5 then. Power supply for mini itx builds are generally always very expensive huh? 

Thanks for reply,but based on my question, the main problem here is,its ok if i use GTX 950 with my current PC setup. I need a new GPU asap due to my current broken GT610. Cant wait for end of June. 

Thanks Terence. Can you recommend a GPU also? Thanks.

Hi
You can consider light to medium gaming with full hd reso

Hi guys i need help on this one.

[Budget] max RM 3k

[Purpose]Games mostly MOBA/ MMORPG

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Personal preferences] Need keyboard/mouse + monitor

wow this new p version of i5 and i3 is cheaper then the usual i5-6400 / i3-6100
i5 6402p 
i3 6098P

only difference i can see is its 0.1GHZ slower and iGPU HD510 instead of HD530
and a huge $$ saving of 8-9%
which is great for someone intending to buy a GPU or on a budget and dont need a fast iGPU.

Would you recommend anyone on the old Xeon E3-1231 vs i7 skylake (assume they will be getting GPU), the potential saving of around RM260 with cpu+mobo combo?

Oh I'm sorry
It will be used for dota 2 maybe mid settings

For budget pls consider max myr 3500

Thx

First I was making a comment on the better value new chips
i5 6402p
i3 6098P

Then i was suggesting  E3-1231 V3 + H61 rather then i7 Skylake+ H110
Save about RM260, worth it for people on the budget?

here is another example RM230 topup can get from i5 to i7
i5 6402p RM745
H110 RM289
Total 1034
-slower sore speeds
-latest socket

E3-1231 V3 RM1063
H61  RM200
total RM1263
-faster core speeds
-last gen socket

i was looking at this Dell specs and budget. can i get a rig better than this one with the same budget but better performance than dell? i need to do some video editing, gaming and a good sound system.

specs i require , high memory 8gb or more is better, HDD 1 tb and i don't mind radeon if it's better than nvidia performance. tq

thanks terence, I'm really a noob in this computer hardware.
sometimes, i may get over too excited with latest technology that i have forgotten that it may be too much for my needs.
when i saw Dell giving out Free  speaker , i thought it's a good bargained but then they have a better multimedia speaker that cost more than RM450.

Im not really a gamer but maybe i like to play some games such as Splinter Cell, GTA etc.
im not a good video editing too but i just want to do some attachment of videos and photos for you tube . I think for audio, it's just good enough to play some radio music online , don't need to have 5.1 dolby. i already have the system at home. At least audio clarity will do.

Should i be investing in Windows 10 or 8?

My budget for this rig is at least RM 2K with keyboard, mouse, speaker , windows, graphic card, 8mb memory or 16?, 1TB and wifi ..
I don't need the monitor. tq

Hi sifus,

I'm planning to wait until Pascal/Polaris before deciding on the GPU for my rig and just wondering if the other parts below (obtained from prev posts) is good enough for future upgrades? Should I get a Z170 mobo?

My budget is around 2.5k without the GPU. Not sure if i NEED a SSD but if I do will probably get it along with the GPU. Also another question is, do you think I should get these parts now or should I wait altogether with the GPU?

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 804
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 133
