QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Aug 1 2016, 03:30 PM) 2k can do a complete swap to DDR4 platform already How much will be DDR4 32GB? Just normal value RAM will do...DDR4 RAM is cheap nowadays (even cheaper than new DDR3 now due to stock overflow Taobao is selling CPU at very cheap price? If the price is very close to local one then just get the local one with local warranty, easy to claim warranty in the future and can get it on the spot (don't have to wait for it to be shipped from China/HK etc.). I've read some articles and they said there's no FAKE CPU will be made. So rest assured to buy CPU . Just no CPU FAN and box will be provided. It's ok for me as i want to go for AIO liquid Cooling. I think I5 6500 with H170 Gaming Pro will be ok, for DDR4 ? |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Aug 1 2016, 04:47 PM) 32GB (16GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 598 (RM 299 each) Not gonna go for OC, so Z might not in list. Which MB is good for I5 6500? haha32GB (8GB x 4) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 588 (RM 147 each) Genuine or non-genuine, I cannot guarantee that yet because you know China is very capable in cloning things right If price difference is just RM 50 - RM 100 then I suggest you better go for local unit instead with box, sticker, HSF, receipt etc which you can sell it off easily next time to other people when you go for an upgrade again. H170 Gaming Pro is an overpriced mobo, that price tag can get you a Z170 already Just my 2 cents. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Aug 1 2016, 05:00 PM) Yup I know you aren't going for OC, it is just the price of that H170 mobo is too expensive and if you were to get it, I will suggest you to get a Z170 instead. hmmm how about if i want to go AMD specs?H170 (ATX) - Gigabyte H170-HD3, ASRock H170 Pro 4 And BTW since you don't plan to OC, AIO liquid cooler can be dropped completely too, it is not needed for a locked i5, but of course you can go for it if you insist to get one for aesthetic purpose. Is FX8350 and 990FX a good match? |

Yes still need few months... damn. I shall wait if i want AMD then.. sad |
