Hi guys. I would like to build my first ever budget gaming rig that can handle mid - high end graphic demanding games. If it's possible I would like to have a 120hertz monitor, but I don't think it will fit into the price range. If so, then recommend me something that is 1080p or 1440p that are bang for my bucks. I only demand for smooth 60fps on any games that i will list below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Budget] RM2.8k - RM3.5k ( less is better )

[Purpose] Moderate gaming, extensive use of youtube and movies

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Keyboard, mouse

[Monitor Resolution] 1080p/1440p ( depend on my budget )

[Games and softwares that use frequently] Rocket League, H1Z1 ( high or ultra settings at 60fps if possible ), Tomb Raider, Hitman:Absolution, War Thunder, GTA V, Words/Powerpoint

[Personal Preferences] 120hertz monitor if possible, 1080p resolution is minimum, R9 390 or Gtx 970? And which is better? i5 is a must over i3.

[Location] KL

That's all for my requirements. I hope money won't limit your suggestion for better performance as I'm a newbie to all this IT stuff. Thanks

initially i thought a i5 was going to be better then i3 in gaming. fast dual vs slow quad core.
i3 fast 2c,4t vs slow i5 4c,4t

then i saw this site, they runing an GTX 980
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardw...-review-10.html

i3 6100 is truely amazing for gaming on a budget, not much difference with i3 vs i5,
my guess is people buying a i3 will not pair a gtx 980 more like a gtx 950/960 at this rate the i3 will be similar in performance as i7 in terms of current gaming

the sites also shows there is not much difference in i5 6400 vs 6500 in gaming too.

people can alwasy upgrade to i5 later in few years when games become more multi threaded and dx 12.

So you're saying I should go for the i3-6100? Is it cheaper anyway? And how do I know which games use single, double or qual core??? I'm sorry I'm noob at this stuff.

Hi, it's me again. The ultimate noob of all noob. Coming back to ask for suggestions. This time I constructed my dream rig for myself. Here are the specs.

Monitor : LG 29UM57-P (2560 x 1080) 21:9

CPU : Coreā„¢ i7-6700

PSU : FSP Hexa+ 550W

MOBO : Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4)

RAM : Corsair 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM

GPU : Palit Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Super Jetstream OC

HDD : WD Blue 1TB HDD

SSD : Samsung 850 EVO 250GB

CASE : Phantom 630 (H630) Clear Window Panel

I just wanna ask if there is anything that is not compatible with my general setup, and if there's anything wrong pls correct me and recommend me something that is similar to my specs. I've found a good distributor that sells way less expensive from a friend of my mother, so money is not a problem at all. I don't plan to OC bcuz I don't even know how to OC.

Any help is greatly appreciated! thumbup.gif

Everything is fine.

Just a few things to note:

1. PSU - try to get a more decent one since you said budget isn't an issue like Seasonic M12II EVO or Superflower Leadex Silver/Gold.

2. Monitor - the monitor chosen by you is an old product which has been discontinued by LG, they are dumping all their leftover stocks to Malaysia, that's why it is so cheap for an ultrawide monitor. Some people mind this, so this is just a precaution or warning to you first.
