Should be fine if you only add a GTX750Ti, you can swap to FSP Hexa+ 400/450W or Corsair VS450 for more headroom though.[OFFICIAL]Rig Suggestion Q&A Thread V11!

QUOTE(cannavaro @ May 11 2016, 11:43 PM) quick question for the sifus here.. Yes most of the time, performance RAM is clocked higher than the base clock of the RAM module, if you aren't using a compatible mobo (Z series for example), then you won't be able to take advantage of the speed, everything will be downclocked to the base clock that the mobo can support (2133MHz for DDR4 for example).most of the time it is a waste of money to buy performance rams if you don't intend to OC, right? I recall reading something along those lines many years back, not sure if it's still a valid statement ? If you are getting a DDR4 performance RAM with a clock speed of 2133MHz then you better off with 2133MHz Value RAM instead, the difference is negligible. QUOTE(xKeneshirox @ May 12 2016, 01:22 AM) I was reading a lot of reviews on the high failure rates of the Seagate Barracuda though? Is that still a problem? That's for 3TB version early this year, 2TB should be fine, I haven't had any of my Seagate HDD failed on me though. |

QUOTE(char_les @ May 12 2016, 03:54 PM) just an additional noob question, since i will be using existing harddrive, do i need to reinstall the O.S. ? If your Windows key is OEM based then you need to get a new key because OEM key is permanently tied to the first registered mobo (your old mobo in this case), if you are using a retail version of Windows, then just find your current retail key and insert the key into the system and you are good to go. A HDD format is always recommended for new hardware installation especially with CPU and mobo upgrade. |

QUOTE(FaezFarhan @ May 14 2016, 10:59 PM) Would he be needing a graphic card? Which would be better for graphic design? Depends on the software, some do use the CUDA technology some don't, but it is more ideal to get a faster CPU instead of weak CPU + weak GPU.i3 6100 or Pentium G4400 + GT730 1gb DDR5? Would the CM Elite power 350w be sufficient for the GT730? The iGPU of i3 6100 (HD 530) is faster than GT730 anyway, not recommended to get GT730 just for the sake of the CUDA. |

QUOTE(exentric_nova @ May 15 2016, 01:34 PM) Hello everyone. I would like a suggestion for a high-end desktop. This will be used for gaming as well as game development (UE4) (this requires a powerful CPU as well as huge amounts of RAM). I am aiming for GTX1080 so the purchase will be next month or whenever it becomes available locally (I am in no hurry for it). Please do provide me with a suggestion to complement the GTX1080. Since no budget stated so I will just go with the highest spec.Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1254 Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446 Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 266 GTX1080 - RM 3000 (Estimated) Kingston HyperX Fury 240GB SSD - RM 305 WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215 Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363 Tecware Alpha - RM 189 Total: RM 6038 (ETech price inclusive of GST) This is a non-OC build, to switch to OC build, you need to add at least 1k. Monitor and other peripherals aren't included too, not sure if you need them or not. |

QUOTE(exentric_nova @ May 15 2016, 06:17 PM) I don't have a budget per-se although I do not want to go crazy with it. If anything I would change, I would drop the HDD as I have more than enough HDD right now and bump the RAM to 32GB (16GB is the minimum if you want to do some serious game development). Monitor and other peripherals aren't required as well. It depends on your budget, if money/price is a concern then choose Zotac, usually Zotac is cheaper than the other big 4 (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA) and they provide 5 years warranty as well.As this is also a 'work' mahcine, no OC. Stability is highly required. One more thing I would like to ask is, I know its not out yet, but what brand of GC you generally recommend? If you are going for aesthetic purpose, then you might be interested in the upcoming non-reference card by the big 4 (Asus Strix, MSI Twin Forzr, Gigabyte Xtreme etc). |

QUOTE(XiuKeong @ May 16 2016, 03:43 PM) I saw Intel's price kinda high or perhaps you can suggest any Skylake quad core proc? I would be doing mild OC on it though. You get what you pay for, Intel might be a little bit expensive compared to AMD but the raw performance or out-of-box performance is way better than AMD currently.No worries on the AMD cause I just list down the build now while waiting for the AMD Zen. You can go for i5 6500 + Z170 and a CPU cooler if stock cooler doesn't make the cut after mild OC, this is via BCLK OC, for multiplier (ratio) OC, you need 6600K/6700K. |

QUOTE(Xteoh @ May 16 2016, 03:49 PM) Thank you for your suggestion bro ! Faster: Yes, if still the same performance then no point to release new generation, unless it is a rebadged GPU, but both Polaris and Pascal are new architecture so no worries on this.I heard some news talking about new GPU more faster and more cheaper than current GPU < is that right ? Cheaper: Most likely nope, those announced prices are usually for US market only, when it reaches Malaysia, import tax/GST/distributor mark up will make the card to be way more expensive than the original announced price, we should be grateful if the price stays the same with current gen with some performance improvements |
