Intel Skylake provides more raw performance/power compared to the aged AMD Piledriver, are you sure you still want to stay with the dead AMD AM3+ platform?

If you really want to stay with AMD, I recommend you to wait for AMD Zen instead, the current one is not worth to invest anymore.

I saw Intel's price kinda high or perhaps you can suggest any Skylake quad core proc? I would be doing mild OC on it though.

No worries on the AMD cause I just list down the build now while waiting for the AMD Zen.

You get what you pay for, Intel might be a little bit expensive compared to AMD but the raw performance or out-of-box performance is way better than AMD currently.

You can go for i5 6500 + Z170 and a CPU cooler if stock cooler doesn't make the cut after mild OC, this is via BCLK OC, for multiplier (ratio) OC, you need 6600K/6700K.
*
I see, just did a quick google on Z170 and it supports DDR4. Did some few adjustments

CPU - i5 6600K - RM966
Cooling - Corsair H60 - RM299
Motherboard - Asrock Z170 Pro4 - RM578
Ram - HyperX Fury (4GBx2) - RM189
GPU -
PSU - Seasonic 520w - RM265
Casing - NZXT S340 - RM325
Soundcard - Asus Sonar DG - RM139
Monitor - Any 24" IPS

Add a GTX750Ti if you only play Dota 2 and CS:GO.

As for monitor, you can look for Dell S2316H (glossy screen) or Acer R241Y (matte screen).

Glossy will create reflection if you are under bright light source but color is nicer with glossy screen and vice versa.
*
I think I hold on the GPU till the new one released.

The S2316H is 6ms response time. Is there any with IPS 2ms?

After try to meddling around with the hardware and the price, this is the more likely the final setup. Sifu can give opinions on what can be improved on the performance wise.

How much is the Gigabyte GTX950? If it is too close to RM 800 then you better top up RM 50 for Zotac GTX960 instead.

The PSU is kinda overpriced, you could get a much better quality PSU with its price tag though.
*
So far cheapest I saw is Rm715. Any suggestion for the PSU?

i5 6600K - 825
Cooler Master 212 Evo - 169
Gigabyte Z170 - 375
HyperX Fury DDR4 (4GBx2) - 189
Gigabyte GTX950 Xtreme - 715
Corsair CX650M - 285
NZXT S340 - 325

6600K for RM 825 and Gigabyte Z170 (unknown model) for RM 375?  shocking.gif

Does the price include GST?

For RM 300+/- range, you can go for Seasonic M12II EVO 520W (full modular).

Damn, mistaken it with AMD list.

i5 6600K - 966
Cooler Master 212 Evo - 169
Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P - 729
HyperX Fury DDR4 (4GBx2) - 189
Gigabyte GTX950 Xtreme - 715
Corsair CX650M - 285
NZXT S340 - 325

The M12II 520W is semi modular but my friend is using Seasonic so maybe I'll go for that. Anything else that can be improved based on the price?

Look for EVO edition, it is fully modular.

Ok, this should be very final setup. Does the board good enough? I think GPU can hold first since the motherboard has IGP, can tahan first nod.gif

I would go for Asus Z170 Pro Gaming instead, 10-phase VRM vs 6-phase VRM on Gigabyte Z170-HD3P, just require some top up (< RM 50).

Ok, that settles it then. Thanks so much bro notworthy.gif
