You don't need Z170 mobo if you are going for overclocking build/SLI/CF.

Kaby Lake (7th gen) Intel CPU and AMD Zen CPU are coming soon, who knows maybe by the time Pascal/Polaris arrives in Malaysia, the new CPU is also here, so if you can wait then just wait, if you need a PC now then go ahead and buy the rest of the parts first.

thanks a lot for your time

Noted with thanks

hi terence,

if i wants to watch movies or even work on my tv screen, what do i need to have, hdmi output ? and how much if i change toGTX 960/R9 380?

tq.

It depends on your TV display input port, if it is HDMI then you nee HDMI cable to connect the GPU with your TV.

A minimum top up of nearly RM 400 is needed for GTX960/R9 380.

I bought 3 basic pc from etech and they all assemble and install ori win10 free. i checked it using cmd and confirm its legit win10.
i think he got cheap windows 7 from somewhere in upgrade to win10, coz on some of the pc it had a downgrade option, i already ask him if he got from this guy form lelong for RM35 but he said no.
the win10 they install is messy, you need to change the region , time etc.... they did not have time to do all that for you, and also you need to do a huge windows update, which took me like 6 hours each pc.

here is an alternative built, based on what you said it just seems you are a casual user, you dont really do a lot of pro vid/photo editing, just basic youtube stuff, and slight gaming

Basically downgrade your CPU and mobo -RM380, as you dont really need the raw power for you usage
downgraded your case -RM100 there are many cheaper case to choose from if you dont mid the looks
downgrade to USB wireless, if your wifi is close to your PC.

use the extra money to upgrade the following:
get an extra ssd for your OS, you will feel a world of difference, highly recommended
get a better speakers, may to choose form, ok ones start from RM100, there are plenty of good ones around RM200
my personal choice would be the bookshelf (R1000T IIII) its big tho, it also sounds better then the 2.1 at similar price range.
for speakers just stick to Edifier, its very good value.

if you intend to play games its better you get i3+gtx950 rather then a i5+gtx750ti, its provides better gaming performance and slightly cheaper too.
if you dont intend to play that much games just stick with gtx750ti and save yourself RM200, which is enought to play games at hd

You can do the following to keep below 2.5k:
1. Remove the dedicated GPU if you don't mind to run those games listed with low/medium settings at 1080p60, the iGPU (Intel HD 530) is able to do that.
2. Remove the other 8GB RAM for the time being (not recommended as more memory do benefit video editing/rendering).

If you can accept the extra RM 80 then you can consider sticking to this build.

Windows 10 will be installed for free by ETech (as reported by forumers here).

Another casing option would be Tecware Alpha (RM 199), it comes with 2 front intake fans which can improve the airflow of the rig.

Thanks for the detailed suggestions, do you have any idea when the next gen Intel Proc & Nvdia GPUs will hitting our shores? If it's this year I can wait.

Nvidia's Pascal is coming soon in June/July while Intel Kaby Lake's ETA is still unknown, but it is rumored to be released in Q3 or Q4 later this year.

Etech is quite profissional in rigging a new pc judging fr their facebook and they stocks quite a lot of hardwares. But is there anymore shops like them in PJ or Subang? I believe they are also commited in servicing the buyer.

Hi Sifus first post on this forum

Looking for a rig and monitor set up

B][Budget RM 3000 including monitor]

[Purpose : Hard Gaming AAA titles at mid/ low settings]

[Hardwares that will be re-use : peripherals]

[Monitor resolution : 1080p 21inch would be nice ]

[Games & softwares that use frequently : moba,RPG, try out new games on the market ]

[ something future proof for gaming if possible. A set up without GPU would be fine, I wouldn't mind waiting for polaris and pascal]

Thanks bro.
After getting you guys help, i think i have gained quite a lot of perspectives on what is necessary to my daily needs. It seems like in the end, i might need to tone down my desire for something best and rather that suit my lifestyles. Yes , you were right on the amateur rigs. I dont need a designer casing and i might even not chasing for high gaming profiles since i realized i dont have the time or patience to get into the learning curve in the game itself. My main objective is to watch downloaded movie and editing for now, do i still need the graphic card to watch high res videos and some family video editing? Tq

Pascal and Polaris are very close to release now, since you can wait then just wait for few more months

The iGPU (Intel HD 530) that comes with the CPU can run Dota 2 at medium settings (1080p60) for the time being.

Since the power requirement for upcoming card is still unknown so I included a decent 620W PSU in the build so it can support the upcoming high end graphics card.

Thanks man for the quick reply. Oh yea just another random newbie question.. Is there any difference in terms of performance between a regular atx and an Matx motherboard??

Please comment my initial build (RM2820). Is everything ok?

If i want to suit my budget, is the 2nd build ok (RM2424)?

Is it worth it to spent extra rm400 to follow my initial build? Is the performance greatly differ?
