hi terence, as my friend want to change the chassis to Corsair 400C and he will change the mobo to Z170 Mortar. Is it compatible with all of the hardware stated before ? Ive seen the case, and I'm sure Strix 1070 will  fit inside. How about the mobo ? as I'm not sure what is the most proper size mobo that can be put inside the case  sweat.gif

Can fit.

Is it possible, with a budget 3.5k to put a rig with i7 and a dedicated GPU that can support Lumion 6 ? Pls include a monitor too, do notify me if it is impossible due to budget constraint  sweat.gif
*
Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290
Gigabyte RX460 4GB GDDR5 Windforce OC - RM 659
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware F3 - RM 125
BenQ GW2470H - RM 469

Total: RM 3505 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Of course if you can add more budget then it will be better, if your workload in Lumion is mostly heavy/complex scene then you are recommended to get a better GPU like GTX1060 6GB/RX480 8GB etc.

hi, please recommend

[Budget] MYR3500

[Purpose] Gaming - BF4 & CS:GO

[Hardwares that will be re-use] keyboard & Mouse

[Monitor resolution] Planning 27"

[Games & softwares that use frequently] BF4 & CS:GO
*
Those games listed are best played on a 144Hz monitor.

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 707
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145
Gigabyte RX470 4GB GDDR5 G1 Gaming - RM 999
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
Acer XB240H 144Hz - RM 952

Total: RM 3675 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Over budget, but it can be used as a reference for 144Hz build.

You can either top up your budget or swap to a normal 60Hz monitor, if you choose to stick with 27" (I won't go for 27" if the resolution is still 1080p, too pixelated if sit too close to the monitor) then you can go for Acer R271 (RM 849), if you choose 24" then you can add a 120/240GB SSD.

hi,

I am planning to buy a new rig with very limited budget. The main purpose is for FIFA and a few adobe software. (Photoshop, illustrator & indesign). Planning to learn about after effects in the future. Can I get a decent rig for below rm 2000. The recommended requirement for FIFA is  as below

OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 - 64-Bit
CPU: Intel i5-3550K @ 3.40GHz or AMD FX 8150 @ 3.6GHz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive Space Required: 50.0 GB
Minimum Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 270
*
Honest speaking, decent rig with 2k budget? No.

The system requirements stated by you is recommended system specs I believe and it would take you around 3k+/-.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 470
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145
Palit GTX950 2GB GDDR5 Dual Fan - RM 625
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Corsair VS450 - RM 162

Hi again, smile.gif

Already saved up the target budget for my new rig, thus need sifu guidance for the best bag for the buck built.
[Budget] MYR 8000 (can top up RM 200 if worth it)

[Purpose] Gaming - Tripple AAA games

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Wifi USB adapter

[Monitor resolution] Currently 1080p, but planning to go for Acer X34 mid next month

[Games & softwares that use frequently] DOTA2, Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, etc (demanding games), Windows 10 will be purchase separately.

[Personal preferences] i7 6700/6700k, GTX 1080 (Preferably Asus Strix)

[Location] Melaka (Thus please suggest pricing based on local shop available here such as Jayacom or Thunder Match)

Thanks once again. rclxm9.gif
*
If you want best bang for the bucks setup, then you shouldn't even consider Asus Strix, you need to fork out extra ~15% just for the brand name sweat.gif

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1509
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - RM 779
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz RAM - RM 399
Asus GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X Strix - RM 3619
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 279
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
CM V650 - RM 479
Corsair Hydro H100i GTX - RM 619
NZXT S340 - RM 315

Total: RM 8217 (Jayacom price inclusive of GST)

I doubt that Melaka outlet(s) will have all the items stated above (as in ready stock) and there is a new refreshed model for the mobo picked above with "Aura" branding at the back, but I cannot find it in the price list, please check with them yourself for stock availability and pricing.

P/S: The cooler is extremely expensive compared with the one sold in KV area (around RM 100+/-).

[Monitor resolution] 27 ips 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Donno yet

[Personal preferences] i7 6700

Hmm you wrote "gaming on high resolution" as purpose but 1080p in monitor resolution column, how is it considered as high resolution when 1080p has been the mainstream gaming resolution since decades ago, I though it gonna be at least 2k or 4k sweat.gif

And you asked for custom rig but in hardware to be re-used column is "nothing", so you need a new monitor too?

Sorry terence, i just missed that column. Monitor is not included in 5k budget. 

I just want to setup new rig only, not included monitor. Just rig for 5k. Any recommendations?
*
Nah don't have to feel or say sorry, I am just confused when people here say "rig" but then monitor isn't included in the hardware to re-use list biggrin.gif

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
Gigabyte H170-HD3 - RM 446
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290
Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Gamerock - RM 2099
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409
Tecware Alpha - RM 199

Total: RM 4941 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

To add in a 120/240GB SSD, you can downgrade the RAM to 8GB (RM 145) and mobo to mATX (like Gigabyte B150M-D3H, RM 379) or just top up your budget if you want to stick with the build above.

Value in money - Palit Gamerock/Super Jetstream (around 3k+/-)
Mid range - EVGA ACX 3.0, Zotac AMP!, Gigabyte G1 Gaming, Asus Turbo (from 3.1k - 3.4k)

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura, last time they started the Aura series with B150I.

Ram : 2+2gb value ram (later upgrade 8gb)
GC : Zotac GTX 950 Low Power 2GB DDR5

This spec should be good for PES and FIFA right?

Depends on what settings you want to run, if don't mind low/mid then should be fine.

Will still over budget by a little bit unless you hunt for GTX1070 at GemFive (discount up to 12% with coupon code).

Alright adjusted the build to make it as close to 4k as possible.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
ASRock H110M-ITX - RM 315
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145

FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
CM Elite 130 - RM 178

Total: RM 4014 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Non-modular PSU in a mITX case = tough job for cable management and create unwanted heat being trapped inside the case (high temperature and collect dust overtime), fully modular PSU is more recommended.

yes, i don't want to have life anymore, i want to die with pc, LOL, just kidding tongue.gif
[Budget] around rm8000 , max rm8500, if can go cheaper, nice laa, i can use for other accessories

[Purpose] Gaming - Tripple AAA games

[Hardwares that will be re-use] none

[Monitor resolution] want 1080p, confuse either 27inch or 24inch, what pros and cons?

[Games & softwares that use frequently] DOTA2, Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, etc (demanding games)

[Personal preferences] OC not intended, play latest game and future proof plus with some photo+video editting for youtube upload, i heard if get xeon is cheaper than i7

please include monitor, case(not a fancy one)

[Location] kL

Thank youuuu wub.gif  wub.gif  wub.gif

Xeon isn't cheaper than i7 already when Intel decided to throw in some requirements to run Xeon CPU in Skylake, it requires C232 chipset mobo which isn't cheap to get (for budget build), i7 is still more preferred due to slightly higher clock speed than Xeon E3 1230 V5.

24" for 1080p and 27" for 1440p is the perfect match, since you want to stick with 1080p, so just get a 24", not saying you cannot invest in a 27" 1080p monitor, but it is too "pixelated" for me due to much lower PPI.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290
Zotac GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 AMP! - RM 2219
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409
Samsung 750 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 315
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Corsair Carbide 400C - RM 485
Acer Predator XB241H GSync - RM 1899

Total: RM 7561 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

I included a GSync monitor in the build list, it is pricey but comes with GSync and 180Hz feature, if you aren't looking for high frequency and GSync enabled monitor, you can swap to a normal TN 60Hz (around RM 500+) or IPS 60Hz (around RM 700 - RM 1000) or just get a normal TN 144Hz monitor (around RM 1000), and yea you can go for 27" too if you insist to board 27" train nod.gif

Try to pry up from one of the side first, if you haven't removed it before then it is quite hard to remove for the first time.

Your "customize" as in? Change the water block/pump/pipe? If yes then no, AIO means all in one.

For the above customization, please go for custom water block path.

If I die die wanna stick with AIO form factor, can ahh?

Cuz if got CPU very ma fan.

If cannot hohh, can I upgrade the hardware in my AIO ahh?

For example, the HP AIO comes with a rather useless GPU (AMD Radeon R7 A360).

Can I discard that GPU and upgrade to a better one?

Thank you bero!!!

As mentioned before, it can be AIO water cooler, not just AIO PC, AIO stands for All In One and can have many meanings, and if you write AIO in this thread, most of us will refer to water cooler AIO first as this is a "rig suggestion" thread.

Get a mITX rig if you want to save space or easy to carry around, it can be very small and cost efficient than AIO, but if you want to stick with AIO then I don't think it is customizable from factory side, but you can remove the internal components and get them replaced with what you want if they allow you to do so without voiding the warranty, clearance is also an issue where huge or large GPU might not be able to fit in the case, another one to take note is the PSU, most of these AIO PC come with OEM SFF PSU which cannot be upgraded at all mega_shok.gif

can someone make this clear for me?

i've googled about proccesor, i read a post about "buying new mobo for i3 4170, most of them need BIOS update"

cant we just pairing i3 4170 with any 1150 mobo? it should turns on right? what is BIOS update?
*
i3 4170 only works on LGA1150 socket mobo and yes, if you buy those older chipset mobo like H87/Z87 then you need to update the BIOS.

BIOS update works the same like the Windows update (for new features/bug fix/patch etc.)
