Anyone bought from Etech before?? Want to ask your experience and whether if the shop is 'legit' or not. Thanks! Planning to spend RM9k so must be extra careful

I have dealt with them many times already, they are definitely legit, they have a physical shop in Kepong, you can pay a visit to them if you want.

Most of the parts of my main rig are bought from them.

No compability issue there, everything is alright.

As for RAM, you can consider getting a higher frequency one (i.e > 3000MHz), jumping from base clock of 2133MHz to 2400MHz gives you a very tiny difference only FYI, too hard to notice in real life usage.

Hi sifus. I have a doubt here. Why there is no Asus motherboard in suggestion list? So far I have seen Gigabyte & MSI only.

Normally for low & mid budget build (< 4k), I won't recommend choosing Asus mobo due to their pricing issue, it is better to dump the money onto other parts for best price/performance ratio.

Thanks for the reply. Now I know the reason. Always been wondering why there is no Asus mobo in suggestion list. I thought in recent years their quality dropped etc like that.

Is your Excel sheet very large? If yes then stay with at least i3, if not then Pentium will do.

Low end Quadro or FirePro isn't as strong as normal consumer grade (GeForce/Radeon) GPU, since you are budget doesn't allow high end workstation GPU so just go for consumer grade GPU now.

Skylake Xeon requires C232 chipset workstation mobo at which its price isn't cheap, so i7 + H110 combo is more worth.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1324
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 336
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 ZT-70605-10M - RM 509
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Asus DVD-RW SATA ODD - RM 69
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 63
Bitfenix Nova - RM 149
Dell S2316H IPS - RM 657

Total: RM 4008 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Your PSU has 42A on 12V rail (504W), conclusion is yes, can support R9 390.
