Thanks a lot bro!

Both at normal 60Hz. If you think 60Hz will suite normal gaming experience, then we can stick to 60Hz for the third monitor.

My aim is to have PC that can do all of these at the same time. (basically a professional workstation and gaming rig)
- spawn a few vm's(maybe 2)
- open multiple tabs in chrome (maybe 20-30 tabs)
- open IDE and text editing tool
- play high quality games

The PC also at least must be able support 3 hdmi monitors, im saying this because I think some gpu you mentioned in previous build seems having limited hdmi ports. I might be wrong though

Budget is 3k as a reference, you can increased a bit if you think necessary but keep it at optimun budget. Planning to buy before end of this year to still get the 3k tax exemption for PC

Thanks you so much for your help and time

144Hz monitor ain't cheap, that's why I asked if yours is 144Hz already or looking to get a new 144Hz, now I know your decision and budget isn't fully restricted to 3k then it should be alright.

HDMI port is being phased out by DisplayPort, high end GPU now spots more DisplayPort than HDMI due to few reasons (bandwidth, resolution support etc). If you plan to run 144Hz monitor, you need at least HDMI 1.3 and above (for HDMI), the old school DP 1.2 already can support up to 4K60H/2K165H. You can use adapter to convert HDMI to DP and vice versa.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1360
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 436
Gigabyte GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Windforce OC - RM 1225
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 296
EVGA SuperNova 650 GQ - RM 459
Tecware Alpha - RM 229
Acer XB240H 144Hz - RM 952

Total: RM 5403 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

You can reduce total cost by:
1. Downgrade to i5
2. Downgrade to cheaper/low end mATX mobo
3. Remove the SSD
4. Get a cheaper PSU (sub RM 200 one, but much lower quality)
5. Get a normal 60Hz monitor

Not recommended to downgrade the RAM to 8GB due to heavy multitasking (as I can see) and GPU due to **Gaming (latest game with high setting)**.

The GPU doesn't have 3 HDMI outputs, it is very hard to find any high end GPU with lots of HDMI outputs now, please use adapter/converter if necessary. The standard currently is 3 x DP, 1 x HDMI and 1 x DVI.

Hey wanna ask everyone's opinion of Ideal Tech at Pandan Indah.

Thinking of buying some parts from them and asking them to assemble my new rig. Will be reusing some old components like my PSU, monitor, casing, etc.

I don't know how to install the rig myself, rather have an expert to do it properly.

What do you think of their prices and service?

Hi, need some suggestion for my new rig.

[Budget] = Around RM3k-3.5k (trying to save as much as possible)

[Purpose] = Heavy Photoshop, 3D, 30+ firefox tabs, and AAA games.

[Hardwares that will be re-use] = Dell Ultrasharp 24", 1TB HDD

[Monitor resolution] = 1920x1080p

[Location] Penang


Currently I'm considering this, but wondering if sifus here have better suggestion :
i5-6600,
gtx1060 3gb
16gb DDR4 2133
M12IIEvo 520w
120gb SSD as boot drive
Mobo(no idea)
Casing(no idea, but prefer budget simple classy design)

Feedback and after sales services are positive so far. As for price, I don't want to comment too much, you can search the market (Lelong/Garage Sales etc) for comparison and you will know the result

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 862
MSI B150M Pro-VDH - RM 340
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 436
MSI GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 OC - RM 1120
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 196
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 339
Tecware Alpha - RM 229

Total: RM 3522 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Seasonic PSU is facing stock shortage almost everywhere, I have to replace it with another model, you can still look for the one you need if you wish to do so.

wow. Thanks. i think i need to reduce the cost and follow your suggestion
1. Downgrade to i5
2. Downgrade to cheaper/low end mATX mobo
3. Get a normal 60Hz monitor

Can you provide alternative for these 3 requirements?

Hi, need recommendations for a new mid tower


Budget - rm 150

Parts to consider - using Hyper 212 and a modular psu

Etc - good air flow

Saw a lot of recommendations for segotep and tecware, are these casing good?

1. i5 6500
2. ASRock H110M-HDV (low end)/MSI B150M Pro-VH/Gigabyte B150M-D3H etc.
3. BenQ GW2470H (VA)/Acer R241Y (IPS) etc.

Tecware and Segotep were chosen mostly due to their attractive pricing.

Your budget is somehow restricting you from getting other brands, Armageddon or Segotep would be your choice if your mobo is ATX, Tecware F3 (within your budget) is a mATX chassis.

Of course there are still other brands available, you can try to search the market for the availability.

Hi all. Need recommendation for a new rig.

[Budget]

Ill take option 2. What do i need to put in?

Hello all,

I have an i5 4440, looking to upgrade my processor into a better i5 or i7.
Planning to sell this + add RM500 to get a new processor.

Which processor can I get with this budget?

request for Budget mini atx case pc ( RM 3000 )
Case prefer: SilverStone Milo Series ML08 ( any one sell this? how much? )
GPU prefer: GTX 1060

other please suggest me!

why would you want to upgrade ? if you want to upgrade, you have to consider the motherboard as they are on a different chipset board though

hi guys
need recommendation for gc as my hd6950 just dead... only for dota2 1080 full setting.

btw im.not sure whether is the card dead or not. As i switch on the pc with dedicated card dvi will detect no signal... Although the fan & everything is moving.
If i boot with integrated display dvi then unplug & plug to dedicated dvi then it work fine.

my pc detect the card is still working fine.

I think a GTX 750Ti is enough for you, it can maxed out dota on FHD

how bout rx460? which 1 is better?

Planning to use Haswell still. Just want to upgrade to a higher and better proc than what I'm using now

a 750Ti will serve you well. If you have the money to get a RX460, why not ? regarding your old gpu, im not entirely sure what is the problem
