hello guys I want to upgrade my rig. maybe change mobo ram and processor only. right now I have 500 watt psu coolermaster cap ayam.
budget in rm 1.5k. In my mind want upgrade to I5 processor and mobo that support ddr4 ram. This rig will using for recording and sound engineering software. Please kindly recommend me something. TY.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 857
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 486
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168

Total: RM 1511 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

HD 530 is almost equivalent to GT740/R7 250 which is slightly more powerful than GT750M.

Yes, if you oc it, it is likely to have GT650's performance.

Hi guys...

Need help in building a completely new rig to replace my dead laptop. The budget is RM1500. If possible the performance be better than my Lenovo Y400. The budget is for the whole set including monitor. If not possible, just lists the parts for the pc only...

I will use it for engineering/3d modelling softwares and gaming, mostly gaming...

Thank you very very much for your troubles

This post has been edited by neoblitz64: Mar 4 2016, 01:04 PM

Noted. Done.

1.5k is a very low budget so don't expect it will provide you a lot of performance improvements over your old laptop (is it i7 3630QM + GT750M 2GB GDDR5 version?)

What games you wish to play? Dota 2, CS:GO? Or triple A titles?

And BTW don't include monitor in your 1.5k budget, allocate another small amount of money for it.

Yes, that's the one....
I usually play AAA titles.. And I usually prefer smooth fps over beautiful graphics, if I have to choose... Those recent games are already decent at low settings in my eyes...

i7 3630QM is a quad core octa thread mobile CPU while the cheapest desktop equivalent (in terms of core/thread) is i7 which will cost you 1.5k (yes it will take all your available budget).

1.5k can only get you this,

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 496
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Bitfenix Nova - RM 149

Total: RM 1505 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

No dedicated GPU so you need to rely on the iGPU for the time being, the performance is almost equivalent to GT740/R7 250, get a more powerful GPU next time when you have more money, the PSU should be able to support it provided you aren't going for the most high end GPU.

I've been asking around and I found one suggesting me this for 1.5k

Proc: Intel Pentium G320 3.2.GHz
Mobo: H81M G1 gaming
Ram: Hyper X 8 GB ram
GPU: ASUS GTX 750ti
HDD: 1TB hdd
Casing: T1X armageddon
PSU: FSP Hexa 650watt

How does this fare compared to your suggestion? Is the price similar?

A lot of missing/wrong information listed.

There is no G320 CPU, no H81M G1 gaming mobo, no FSP Hexa 650 PSU in the market and an unknown model of Asus GTX750Ti (1GB or 2GB?)

If you mean G3250 CPU then take note that it is last gen hardware (some people will mind, so just FYI), it is a pure dual core CPU (w/o HT), so this is a very huge downgrade from your current laptop.

If you run Dota 2/CS:GO with this specs, then you can expect to run at fairly high settings, for triple A titles, this dual core CPU might cause some issues.

As for price, it is slightly expensive than the previously suggested build but it comes with a dedicated GPU.

So it's better to build the previous spec and just add a gpu somewhere down the line right..
Is this gtx 750 ti good enough for my needs, used with your spec?

For your current situation, yes I recommend to go for Skylake i3 and use the iGPU for casual gaming for the time being and add a more powerful GPU later when you have money for it.

Running triple A titles with GTX750Ti is not really ideal as the frame rate it can produce is not so encouraging even with the all the settings on low, but your choice, if you are ok with this then go ahead.

Thanks man, you've been a great help! Thank you so much!

No problem, you can consider PowerColor R9 270 too, around RM 530 only but it is much faster than GTX750Ti.

Hi, i build my PC 3 years ago and recently i plan to mini upgrade it. Below is my PC specs:

i3 3220
Kingston 8GB RAM DDR3
P8Z77-V LK Mother Board
GTX 650Ti
1TB WD Hard Disk
GS700 Corsair Power Supply
GM Storm Stout 2 Case
Samsung DVD Writer
Samsung 23' Monitor

I only play League Of Legends for the past 2 years. So, i think i will only purchase a SSD, add another 8 GB RAM and change my OS to 64 bit.

Question:
1. What SSD you guys recommend me？
2. I heard OS 64 bit can support more than 8 GB RAM unlike 32 bit. Is that right? Will my computer become faster after i change to OS 64 bit with 16 GB RAM?
3. DDR3 or DDR4 RAM for my PC? Will DDR4 overkill?

The main reason i doing these upgrades because i only play League Of Legends nowadays and my pc still can handle it well without much fps drop. The only thing that bother me is, sometimes when i playing LOL with Google Chrome on or with other programs on like music player or etc, i can clearly feeling my pc is heavier and the game is not as smooth as if i turn off all background programs.

Thanks.

Prices are from E-Tech.

What is the specs of your current rig? Might be able to salvage a part or two.

This post has been edited by Minecrafter: Mar 5 2016, 08:54 AM

My pc is already 8 years old, don't think it is salvageable.

Just a question, is the performance of gtx960 & gtx970 has a significant difference? And also any ways to fit in a SSD?

Mhmm. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1595?vs=1596

Can cut down CPU to i5 6400 RM796 and PSU to FSP Hexa+ 550W RM189 and use the cash on Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB RM209.

Adding SSD is enough, your RAM is already 8GB and just change your 32 bit OS to 64 bit OS and you can fully utilize the 8GB RAM.

16GB is quite overkill for normal people, unused RAM is wasted RAM, so just stick with 8GB for now, you will only notice the difference when your RAM usage is > 8GB.

RAM socket supported is depend on your mobo model, only X99 and the latest Skylake chipset (H110, B150, H170 & Z170) mobo can utilize DDR4, yours is Z77 chipset and it is using DDR3 so DDR4 isn't supported.

As for SSD, you didn't state your budget, so I will just go with Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD for now, around RM 210 in the market.

Thanks a lot for the pointers!

ITX rig always has cooling issue due to its compact size, not saying it will overheat easily, just the temperature is slightly higher than non-ITX build.

Witcher 3 in high settings with high FPS (I assume 60?) requires at least GTX970/R9 390, your budget cannot fit either of them and GTX960/R9 380 will yield around 40 FPS (average) in high settings, either you top up your budget or live with it.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 769
MSI B150I Gaming Pro - RM 519
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168
Zotac GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1397
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
CM Elite 130 - RM 178

Total: RM 3434 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If cannot accept over bugdet, downgrade to GTX960/R9 380/R9 380X (the extra fund can use to get a SSD) or completely switch to mATX build (bigger in size).

So compact rig temperature higher than the big one..yeah fps around 60..so i need to topup a couple hundred..thanks a lot bro..

Ya. I feel so silly. Haha.


Since i don't need to upgrade RAM now so i have more budget for SSD. May i know what is the SSD difference besides price?
Hopefully you can list out some SSD which you think is good with prices and differences regardless of my budget so i can choose one from there. 120GB is enough for me.
Is it possible i add one new SSD and use my old HD for my animes, movies and music storage? Just check my HD and i find it still have 600GB free.

May I suggest you get a normal case RM129 (from same seller ETech), comes in black or white version.
Includes 2x big 120mm fan too, either 1 or 2 of them also have led too.
http://www.lelong.com.my/armaggeddon-hecto...7-07-Sale-P.htm

Now you can save more money on a normal basic H110m mobo from RM289

Total savings
-RM49 Case
-RM230 mobo

RM279 savings, this is quite a premium you are paying for a small case, its not like you are carrying it around everyday or week?
with the savings you can even put an SSD on your rig too highly recommended

ETech will ship to you only RM20, they will even assemble and install win10 pro for free. (i recently got 2x pc from them)

H81 mobo on a Skylake processor?

Read/write speed, IOPS, warranty, quality control etc.

You can choose from Samsung 850 EVO, Samsung 750 EVO, Samsung 650 Basic, Kingston HyperX Fury, Transcend 370 etc.

Samsung 850 EVO is the most expensive among them, the difference between them is really hard to notice in real life apart from those benchmarking statistics, so either one of them is fine.

Yes you can use SSD and HDD alongside.

Oh shitt i forgot he using skylake,
in that case he needs to add RM90 for a skylake mobo.
Ive updated the above post.

need help here



my cpu is 50c+ on idle, last time i buy cooler master hyper 212x but my casing didn't fit.

im using this casing https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products...is/neos-window/

Dimensions (WxHxD) 185 x 429 x 470

can someone help choose cpu cooler that can fit?

Cryorig H7

hi, need help for rig recommendation.

budget - 2.5k
usage - 3d max, autocad, gaming( usually indie game)
additional hardware: monitor

Thank you.

The additional hardware means you already have it or need to include it in the budget?

i need it to include in the budget

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 796
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 400W - RM 145
Bitfenix Nova - RM 149
BenQ GW2270 - RM 429

Total: RM 2191 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

The rest of the budget can only get a GT730/R7 250 which is having similar performance of the integrated GPU (HD 530) so it is not worth to spend money on it.

You can use the remaining budget to get another 8GB RAM or 120GB SSD (recommended).

Ok. Thanks for the help. ^^

If your TV is 1080p (usually), then the game will run on 1080p, but due to hardware limitation, normally games developers will make the game to run at 900p (1600 x 900) or 1440 x 1080 to keep everything at stable 30 FPS.

i3 + GTX750Ti is the most commonly used specs to benchmark games between PC and Xbox One, you can check all those comparison videos on DigitalFoundry's YouTube channel, they make comparison and analysis videos for almost every triple A titles during the release.

I'm planning to build a desktop for apps development specifically using the Android Studio.

Budget - Below 5k
Usage - Android Studio,probably using the AVD (Android Virtual Device) that may consume much RAM usage.
Additional Hardware - A decent monitor for coding & programming

The criteria of course it can run the Android Studio intensively, at least with 16GB RAM & processor that support hyper threading & accelerator.


Tq tq in advance.

Hi guys,

I haven't upgraded my pc in a long time now. With a budget of around 1.5k - 2k, what can I look to change? The specs are in my signature below. I was thinking of maybe changing my gpu but is there anything else I should change instead?

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 796

What makes you feel like want to upgrade? Poor gaming performance? If yes then what games are you playing now?

Yeah, definitely poor gaming performance. I'm playing games like Dying light, Witcher, GTA V and etc. Can't really go high-ultra on those games and its a bummer

Get R9 390 8GB and a new PSU.

Sapphire R9 390 8GB GDDR5 Nitro - RM 1549
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363

Total: RM 1912 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If you don't want to change PSU, then go for GTX970, its power consumption is much lower than R9 390 and you can keep using your current PSU.

Their raw performance is almost similar, R9 390 has advantage on high VRAM usage games (8GB vs 4GB) while GTX970 pulls ahead in GameWorks titles.

Oh okey,how about if i were to build the i3+ 16GB RAM configuration how much does it cost, & does the SSD really help in running Android Studio more faster?

Just downgrade the i7 to i3 6100 (RM 496), can save around RM 800+.

I personally tested to run Android Studio on i3, so far it was ok for me, maybe my code isn't too heavy yet so no significant slow down on i3, if your budget allows, opt for i5/i7 (more future proof).

SSD speeds up the booting of Android Studio and get all the modules loaded as fast as possible, you can remove it if you are ok with HDD or want to save cost.

Hello there,

First of all, thank you for all the contributor's help here and I would like to seek advise on hardware rig that for my personal use:

[Budget] Around RM3000 (can stretch a little bit if recommended)

[Purpose] Web browsing, youtube, Dota2, CS:GO and accounting(Autocount) for working. Currently playing Dota2 under 10 fps

[Requirement] support dual monitors(using 1 now but add second in future) and pink color casing if possible

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor (U2414H Dell), keyboard and mouse

[Monitor resolution] Im using IPS U2414H Dell monitor

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota2, CSGO and accounting (Autocount)

[Location] KL

Thank you!

There is no pink color case in the local market currently, even if there is, it is quite hard to find one, unless you order from overseas and get it shipped to here but cost might be an issue.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 796
MSI B150M Bazooka (D4) - RM 409
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168
Palit GTX950 2GB GDDR5 StormX - RM 699
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Seasonic S12II 520W - RM 283
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 185

Total: RM 2964 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If you are planning to play other games especially triple A titles, then you can consider upgrade the GPU to GTX960/GTX970/R9 380/R9 380X for better performance.

Budjet : 3k,including monitor (prefer 23") and cheap peripherals.

Purpose : Gaming

Wondering if this budjet enuf to build some good rig. hm suggest please.thanks

3.5 - 4k would be more ideal as you need monitor and peripherals which aren't cheap nowadays. But anyway I suggest a rig based on 3k for the time being.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 496
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 168
Asus GTX960 4GB GDDR5 Turbo - RM 927
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Bitfenix Nova - RM 149
BenQ GL2460 - RM 510
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 63

Total: RM 3005 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Thanks for the suggestion.

FSP hexa good enuf to carry on this rig?

No problem with i3 + GTX960, even GTX970 also no issue.

Similar doubt here. Let say i3 replaced with i7, is FSP Hexa good enough and usable for future upgrade or should get something better like Seasonic S12II 520W - RM 283.

In average locked i3 vs locked i7 during max load, i7 draws extra 30W from the wall so it is still feasible.

If budget allows, go for Seasonic M12II EVO 620W, RM 363 from ETech, if no then just stick with FSP Hexa+ for the time being.

Okey noted. Thanks alot.

WTA whether this spec is fine or any suggestion for any hardwares with the same price to put in ?

i7 - 6700
Asus B150 MA
Kingston 2133 (4x2)
Asus Strix GTX960 2GB
WD Blue 1TB
Silver Stone Bronze 600W

and does GTX960 4GB which have extra vram helps in rendering softwares ?

For 1080p video, 2GB is fine, unless you are talking about serious 4K content, focus more on system RAM, get 16GB if possible, some rendering software will take all your memory during rendering process and leave you behind with a laggy PC which you cannot even use browser normally.

Budget = rm4000 (itx)

Purpose = multimedia gaming

Games softwares = dota 2, fallout 4, gta 5

Requirements = able to play the games at least at 60fps

For the 2nd one, if i replace hexa 550w with seasonic one is that to add the ssd , will that be workable?

Not recommended to do so as R9 390 is high in power consumption and Hexa series is a low-to-mid end grade PSU only, even though it will work on your system but not worth to risk it, if anything goes wrong, prepare to

What is the differences of gtx 970 and r9 390. And is it worth the upgrade?

It is actually not an upgrade, they are performing neck to neck and are considered as same tier GPU.

GTX970 has much lower power consumption and this allows you to run it on a cheaper PSU, the drawback is its VRAM which is 4GB vs R9 390's 8GB, but for 1080p, 4GB is more than enough nowadays, only some games are using > 4GB VRAM if you turn all the graphics settings to max especially texture and environment quality, it also outperforms R9 390 in GameWorks enabled games.

While R9 390 is considered more "future proof" due to the extra 4GB VRAM but consumes more power and you need to spend more money to get a decent PSU to run it, if you compare the raw performance between them, R9 390 will have slight edge.

So.. what does extra vram do haha. And u said performance wise r9 390 will have slight edge, is it noticeable tho?

VRAM is like your system RAM, but it is for GPU to store framebuffer and necessary info to render/display on the monitor.

It is noticeable in some games, i.e. Far Cry Primal, R9 390 produces around 20% more frame rates than GTX970 on 1080p (but GTX970 is still managed to hit 60 FPS in average so that's not really a big deal if you are playing this game on 1080p 60Hz screen), this happens only if the game is unbiased to any camp and is well optimized for all GPU, like the recently released Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Windows Store, it runs badly on AMD card, some reports saying it is due to Nvidia GameWorks (HBAO+) settings which is not disclosed or stated clearly in the games description, this is the time when GTX970 shines.

Hey guys need suggestion for gaming rig

The budget includes monitor as well

BUDGET: 6.5k

PURPOSE: Gaming - Needs to be able to play games at ultra @ 1080p for the next 2-3 years (if that is even possible)

Prefer OC. Plan to get at Idealtech for their after sales services and OC

Thank you!

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.

Okay, thanks for the feedback yo!

BTW, any comments on the list of parts/components for my future rig?

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.

price....budget build no need high end motherboard at all so they choose the cheapest lo

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.
