You can consider getting a better PSU if you don't mind spending the extra.

AIO CPU water cooler doesn't have significant profile difference, all of them come with a radiator (120/140/240/280mm etc), a pump, pipe and casing fan (optional).

The cheapest one is probably ID Cooling, I haven't tested it personally yet so I am not sure about the performance of this cooler, high end CPU air cooler might beat it in terms of efficiency.

The next "safest" or branded one should be CM Seidon 120V and Corsair H55.

The GPU Gigabyte GTX1050Ti is 6GB or 4GB ? Btw another question Sir, if I can spend 1k - 1.5K on GPU which one did you prefer ?

(chipping in)
4GB for GTX 1050Ti
1k - 1.5k, it has to be GTX 1060. Let's say MSi GTX 1060 Gaming X

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 802
ASRock H110M-HDV - RM 245
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 198

BenQ GW2470H - RM 473

Total: RM 3026 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

GTX1050Ti doesn't have 6GB version, Idealtech pricelist has a typo on this

It's either GTX1060 6GB or RX480 8GB for 1k - 1.5k budget, if you don't mind getting a used card, then GTX980Ti 6GB or GTX1070 8GB can be considered too, they are marginally faster than GTX1060 and RX480.

Okay, thank you sir for the help! I'm kinda scared to buy used card, if still has warranty will considered If I replace with the GTX 1060 6GB, can the current rig support my GPU?

Can

This looks like my ideal RIG as well. No problem running AAA titles on this right Sifu? On max or near max settings.

In general speaking, it shouldn't have any major issue when running latest triple A titles on max or near max settings IF the title you play is well optimized or at least not a poor console port.

Hi guys, long time no visiy this forum. Been busy lately with Fantasy Premier League. K, enough of craps.

I want to build a gaming rig for 2.7k max. No excess anymore.

One more, does Etech or any other shop provide free Windows for the rig we bought?

thx bro, ill try to look into the mentioned product above

need 2 sets of rig ( desktop PC only no LCD nothing else)

[Budget]
RM1k and RM1.5K

[Purpose]
work and lite gaming ( racing game and cs/dota/fps casual)

i5 6500k or i7-6700.

casual gaming like bf1 and future high graphics games.

Can an overclocked i5-6500k perform better than i7-6700? noticeable performance increase?

Ok, another friend of mine have this discontinued Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W. He was planning to get a 1060 next yr. Is 500W enough for the 1060 ? if not, ill suggest him to get 1050Ti

Is this include CPU cooling?

yep, it does come with a stock fan. Dont bother getting an aftermarket cooler, get em only if you're not happy with the temperature of your cpu

There's no 6500k in the market...

For more safety and future measure I ended up with 650W PSU haha. But the minimum system power requirement for 1060 is only 400W as suggested by NVIDIA.

Not sure about the free Windows, but most of the PC shops will install a trial version to test the rig to ensure all hardware components are working and detectable in OS.

Ask the shopkeeper to waive the RM 15 so the total cost wouldn't go over 2.7k

Intel Pentium G4400 - RM 225
ASRock H110M-HDV - RM 245
Kingston 4GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 112

For the 1.5k rig, you can just add a Palit/Zotac branded GTX750Ti (less than RM 500) into the 1k rig, bump the RAM to 8GB if needed and budget allows.
