i was looking at this Dell specs and budget. can i get a rig better than this one with the same budget but better performance than dell? i need to do some video editing, gaming and a good sound system.

specs i require , high memory 8gb or more is better, HDD 1 tb and i don't mind radeon if it's better than nvidia performance. tq

Only go prebuilt OEM PC when your budget is low, this 2.2k build is a pure rip off with i5 and a non useful GT730, even the iGPU is better than this dedicated GPU, I don't see the point to slot in GT730 in this build TBH unless you want Nvidia's CUDA technology for your operation.

What games and settings you are looking to run? Is video editing the main task for the rig? How you define good sound system? Are you an audiophile? If yes then you need a high end sound card which can cost nearly 1k FYI.

thanks terence, I'm really a noob in this computer hardware.
sometimes, i may get over too excited with latest technology that i have forgotten that it may be too much for my needs.
when i saw Dell giving out Free speaker , i thought it's a good bargained but then they have a better multimedia speaker that cost more than RM450.

Im not really a gamer but maybe i like to play some games such as Splinter Cell, GTA etc.
im not a good video editing too but i just want to do some attachment of videos and photos for you tube . I think for audio, it's just good enough to play some radio music online , don't need to have 5.1 dolby. i already have the system at home. At least audio clarity will do.

Should i be investing in Windows 10 or 8?

My budget for this rig is at least RM 2K with keyboard, mouse, speaker , windows, graphic card, 8mb memory or 16?, 1TB and wifi ..
I don't need the monitor. tq

I would recommend Windows 10 over 7/8.1 anytime, it is great and I have zero complaint on it since the first day I use it.

So your budget is at least 2k? Any maximum limit?

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 681
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 133
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 Single Fan - RM 489
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
TP-LINK TL-WN881ND PCIe WiFi - RM 65
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 63
Edifier R12U - RM 56

Total: RM 2492 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If you want to run those games listed at higher graphics settings, please consider upgrading to at least GTX960/R9 380.

If I recall correctly, ETech will install Windows 10 for you, some of the forumers here commented they are giving the key for free, it might be too good to be true, you can ask them directly via their FB page/lelong account etc.

Etech is quite profissional in rigging a new pc judging fr their facebook and they stocks quite a lot of hardwares. But is there anymore shops like them in PJ or Subang? I believe they are also commited in servicing the buyer.

I bought 3 basic pc from etech and they all assemble and install ori win10 free. i checked it using cmd and confirm its legit win10.
i think he got cheap windows 7 from somewhere in upgrade to win10, coz on some of the pc it had a downgrade option, i already ask him if he got from this guy form lelong for RM35 but he said no.
the win10 they install is messy, you need to change the region , time etc.... they did not have time to do all that for you, and also you need to do a huge windows update, which took me like 6 hours each pc.

here is an alternative built, based on what you said it just seems you are a casual user, you dont really do a lot of pro vid/photo editing, just basic youtube stuff, and slight gaming

Basically downgrade your CPU and mobo -RM380, as you dont really need the raw power for you usage
downgraded your case -RM100 there are many cheaper case to choose from if you dont mid the looks
downgrade to USB wireless, if your wifi is close to your PC.

use the extra money to upgrade the following:
get an extra ssd for your OS, you will feel a world of difference, highly recommended
get a better speakers, may to choose form, ok ones start from RM100, there are plenty of good ones around RM200
my personal choice would be the bookshelf (R1000T IIII) its big tho, it also sounds better then the 2.1 at similar price range.
for speakers just stick to Edifier, its very good value.

if you intend to play games its better you get i3+gtx950 rather then a i5+gtx750ti, its provides better gaming performance and slightly cheaper too.
if you dont intend to play that much games just stick with gtx750ti and save yourself RM200, which is enought to play games at hd
Intel Core i3 6098P - RM 421
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 289
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 133
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 Single Fan - RM 489 or
ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 950 2GB GDDR5  - RM 679
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 195
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
D-LINK N150 WIRELESS USB  WiFi - RM 19
Case = ARMAGGEDDON T1x or T2x or T2z RM85-119  or
Case = RAIDMAX ANURA M-ATX - RM 119
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 63
Edifier 2.1 (4” Woofer) M1360 - RM105 or
Edifier 2.1 (4” woofer) R101V - RM79 or
EDIFIER 2.0 (4" WOOFER) R1000T IIII  - RM209

Total: RM 2??? (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Thanks bro.
After getting you guys help, i think i have gained quite a lot of perspectives on what is necessary to my daily needs. It seems like in the end, i might need to tone down my desire for something best and rather that suit my lifestyles. Yes , you were right on the amateur rigs. I dont need a designer casing and i might even not chasing for high gaming profiles since i realized i dont have the time or patience to get into the learning curve in the game itself. My main objective is to watch downloaded movie and editing for now, do i still need the graphic card to watch high res videos and some family video editing? Tq
