Hi guys, time to upgrade my 4-years old. this is what i am using now:

Intel i5 3450
Asus P8Z77-M
GSKILL 353 VALUE RAM 4GB x 2
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Lite On DVDRW 24x Sata
Cooler Master Elite 431
Corsair GS600
Gigabyte 2 GB GTX670OC
Dell U2312HM 23" IPS

1) primarily going to change mobo, proc, RAM and graphic card
2) like to re-use my hdd, monitor, DVDRW (hardld use sweat.gif ) and psu (if possible)
3) the 1080 is awesome on paper, but normally i go for tier-2 or tier-3 cards. 1070 maybe?
4) usage: mostly gaming, browsing, watching movie
5) like to add-on SSD since it's quite cheap now
6) will not be oc-ing the machine
7) budget available = +-2k

thanks!

CPU/mobo/RAM no need to change, they still have enough juice for gaming.

GTX1070 is expected to be priced at least 1.8k, so it might take up most of your budget, add a 120GB SSD (around RM 200) then the total will be around 2k.

If you were to upgrade CPU/mobo/RAM together then this is not possible  sweat.gif

I see... thanks. I thought of changing them as well so it'll be more future proof. Any choice or 1.5k graphic card, so i could still manage new set of mobo/CPU/Ram/SSD within budget? I can top up another 300 if need to

The problem is that 1440p monitor is still very expensive, Dell 25" U2515H costs roughly RM 1400 currently  mega_shok.gif

If you already have a 1440p monitor then it will be a different story.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 835
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 130
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 AMP! - RM 1399
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Seasonic M12II EVO 520W - RM 335
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
BenQ GW2470H - RM 536

Total: RM 4022 (ETech price inclusive of GST)
