Budget: unsure. According to spec.

Purpose: gaming like crysis 3 skyrim dota2 fifa

Hi sifu, I'm planning to migrate from atx to mitx but I found that very limited choices i have.

I'm currently using i7 950 and planning to migrate my system currently inside CM Storm Trooper to Corsair Carbide 380t.

Part that will be used including ssd, hd, gtx460 x2 & i7 950 if possible.

I'm not sure my psu model cm 500w if not mistaken are fitted into these case.

Maybe need replace my noctua heat sink with water cooling 240mm rad.

Please share your opinions.

Swapping from ATX to mITX requires a mITX mobo too, your i7 950 is quite an aged platform so getting a new LGA1366 mobo to pair with the CPU is almost impossible now, you need to hunt for used mobo if you were to stay with the i7 950.

GTX460 x 2 means SLI right? If yes then you need to remove one of them because mITX mobo doesn't support SLI since it only comes with 1 PCIe slot.

Yes. Not much choices for mainboard if keeping this bloomfield proc.

Since you wrote ddr4 quitr cheap nowadays, maybe can give me your opinion regrding mitx spec.

For the gpu, i will wait for AMD to release theirs first.

Not in rush to change. But if possible i try to get most part from Corsair.

Since budget is unmentioned/not fixed, so I will just for highest possible non-OC'able rig setup.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1305
Gigabyte H170N-WiFi - RM 516
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 128
Corsair Carbide 380T - RM 644

Total: RM 2593 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

PSU, SSD, HDD can be reuse.

If you are waiting for AMD VEGA 10 then you gonna need to wait for another few more months (Q4 2016), by the time VEGA comes out, Intel Kaby Lake (7th gen) should have been released as well.

Thanks for the help.

Paking.

Crowd.

More or less same price.

Got many opt. For me to go like Etech Kepong or idealtech pandan indah. Both are near to my house just parking problem and not to crowd.

Everything looks ok here.

If the games you play is very CPU demanding then your i5 will hold back the performance of GTX1070 a bit but then don't worry, most of the games are still single threaded and hardly utilize all core except few of the triple A titles.

Just get the GTX1070, it is packing the twice of the performance of GTX970  :thumbsup:

What are the triple A titles?

I'm only know Metro biggrin.gif
