QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Jul 27 2016, 02:56 PM) Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 824 Thanks! Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379 Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290 Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Jetstream - RM 1999 Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 255 WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209 Superflower Leadex Silver 650W - RM 379 Tecware Alpha - RM 199 Total: RM 4538 (ETech price inclusive of GST) Alternative build with i7 6700 + GTX1060 is also possible, but for better graphics settings (ultra), GTX1070 is more recommended even on 1080p only. Witcher 3 is not that CPU demanding, i5 can handle this game very well. GemFive with coupon code can get 12% off but the only GTX1060 (MSI Gaming X) on GemFive is currently out of stock, RM 1284 after applying the discount. Actually, I got R9 290 hand me down from my brother. If I just use this card to save $$ what part can I upgrade? Also, is there any downside with ITX build? I see this Fractal Design nano s casing quite gooding 😊 This post has been edited by Mystauruk: Jul 27 2016, 04:39 PM |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Jul 27 2016, 04:58 PM) Hmm not quite understand what you mean. Do you mean you gonna reuse the R9 290 or sell the R9 290 and add the money into your budget? mITX build is compact in size, meaning you are limited by future hardware extension, especially HDD/SSD expansion, no SLI/CF support, no extra PCIe slot for 3rd party PCIe expansion card (sound card/USB hub etc.), limited fan header (though can be solved by getting a fan hub), 2 RAM slots only etc. What you get with mITX (SFF) build is portability/mobility and space saving. Also I prefer mITX build because of mobility. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Jul 27 2016, 05:50 PM) Better mobo as in more features? If you mean quality then don't worry so much about Gigabyte mobo, no problem reported from forumers here so far and it is advertised as "ultra durable" somemore I can live with playing at high setting. Better than my crappy laptop now 😁. At least I got good mobo & psu if I want to upgrade video card next year.As for PSU, it is one of the best that you can get with RM 300+ budget (Seasonic M12II EVO is also a good PSU to consider within this price range), RM 450+ can get you a tier 1 Superflower Leadex Gold 650W PSU. GTX1070 is packing with twice of the performance of R9 290, so you might need to run on med/high settings to get a stable 60+ FPS in Witcher 3 (1080p of course) with R9 290, if you are ok with this then I think it won't bother you too much. And please let me know your exact model of R9 290 so I can choose the case appropriately (clearance issue). It is Asus r9 290 directcu II OC. |
