Ah yes, the title of the thread.
No, I'm not in the rush and I'm sourcing my parts from the states. Can you recommend me a list of component that works well with this AMD RX 480? There's a forumer that recommend me parts at the post above this and he recommended MSI GTX960 2GB GDDR5 OC. Can I just swap them? is amd better in term of performance?
I know nothing about rig and I'm building one for my brother for his birthday so any input from you would be appreciated...
Since you don't need a new Windows license key so the build has to be re-adjusted to reflect the changes.
Both Nvidia and AMD have their advantages and disadvantages, GTX960 is last gen card, RX480 is new card based on Polaris architecture which is just announced 2 weeks ago in Computex 2016.
Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 845
MSI B150M Pro-DH (D4) - RM 346
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 131
RX480 - RM 1000 (estimated)
Kingston SSDNow UV400 - RM 153
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363
Tecware Alpha - RM 189
Total: RM 3242 (ETech price inclusive of GST)
If you are buying from USA, then the price and product choice might be different from what I have in the list, warranty claim will be an issue as well if you are buying from USA, so think thoroughly before making the final decision.
