6600 would be an extra burden to your budget, 6500 is a better pick in overall.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 908
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 229
Palit GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Dual - RM 1219 <AMD equivalent would be RX480 8GB but slightly more expensive>
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha - RM 229

Total: RM 3371 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

SSD is not included as it is not a compulsory part to run a PC but it is recommended to get one to improve system responsiveness and reduce boot time of OS/app etc.

As for monitor, there are few choices, cheap TN, mid end VA or premium IPS (search online for the difference if you don't know how to differentiate them), personally I will go for IPS for better viewing angle and color reproduction like Acer R241Y/ViewSonic VX2363/Dell S2316H etc.

Good liquid cooler AIO never come cheap, but I have seen some positive feedback on ID-Cooling (240L only costs RM 300)

RM 600 - 700 can get IPS panel already, perhaps Acer R241/Dell S2316H? I don't think it is a good idea to pick TN (or even VA) unless your friend is looking for super low latency panel with such budget.

I see, before this I also suggested him ID-cooling, but brand wise, he was reluctant and kept on asking the corsair one

Hi all, am helping a friend to build a gaming desktop. Appreciate if I could get some advice on it. The details would be as follow:

[B][Budget] RM3000

[Purpose] It will be a gaming to play games such as Dead Rising 4, Fallout Series, Total War Series etc. Doesn't have to be the highest settings

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None, from scratch

[Monitor resolution] Preferably 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dead Rising 4, Fallout Series, Total War Series etc

[Personal preferences] If possible, looking for the best bang of buck parts. Budget can be flexible to suit this.

[Location] Kuala Lumpur

Thanks alot!

If your friend is aiming to get a Corsair 240L AIO then he needs to prepare at least RM 500, same goes to NZXT Kraken.

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 769
Asus H110M-K - RM 253
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 229
Palit GTX1060 3GB GDDR5 StormX - RM 889
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware F3 - RM 125
BenQ GW2270 - RM 350

Total: RM 3022 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If SSD is a must, you can consider downgrading the CPU from i5 to i3 or GPU from GTX1060 3GB to GTX1050Ti, I prefer the first option though.

Thx sifu!! Just wondering....
Is the gigabyte gtx1060 windforce PC 6gb a better GPU? Cause it seems to be generally more exp. (Asking cause i was offered one for a little bit less.)

Also would like to ask about the va2419-sh cause I see it being recommended here and there.

It has similar chipset (GP106) but with higher clock speed and better cooling efficiency.

The monitor is also ok considering the price tag matches the specs offered.

can you just give a suggestion for the corsair and NZXT one, I'll tell him later, if he said the prices are too much, I'll just ask him to get the ID-cooling

Corsair Hydro H100i V2/NZXT Kraken X52/Cryorig A40 Ultimate etc.

Make sure the casing has radiator mounting point and can fit 240L AIO (if cannot then please look for 120L, or if he wants larger size please look for 280L or 360L).

he is using Corsair Carbide 400C, should have enough clearance right ? thanks for the suggestion

Yes enough.

Hi guys,,
I'm thinking this build a long time ago..

do leave comment or suggestion would help

[B][Budget] :

4K max (can add up 100-200 if necessary lol )

[Purpose] :

Mainly for gaming , surfing, googling, movie.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]

None

[Monitor resolution]

21-22'' ( not sure what monitor good for me. just not too big) . my friend want to sell his 22 acer monitor

[Games & softwares that use frequently] :

ROTR(high setting please), watch dogs, dota, sherlock holmes , prototype and etc

[Personal preferences] : here what is in my mind

Intel Core I5 6420P
Asus H110I - Plus ITX
8GB DDR4
GTX 1060 6GB
1TB HDD
500W PSU
Fractal Design Mini C

[Location] : Selangor

Fractal Design Mini C isn't a mITX only case, I suggest you to go for mATX mobo instead for more upgrade room.

mmm.. i see then

i thought i was only for itx mobo.. haha..

then i may consider Asrock H110M - HDV (DDR4/mATX) then.. its cheaper too...

about my cooler should i go cryorig M9I or CM blizzard T2 (cheaper) / cm Xdream I117 (cheapest) - i look the price ad idealtech website though. i know its pricey there but just incase i use max price so later if there is leftover money i can add up something.. hehe

is there any consequences of using cheaper cooler ? dunnow what to consider in choosing types of cooler actually.

Stock cooler will do for ultimate money saving, cheap cooler performs almost the same as stock cooler and doesn't seem to worth my money.

i see

ty for ur suggestion and comment..

alright, time to contribute to this thread since i recieved help here in the 1st place! (thx again oh holy terence_nwb)


i'm also building something similar, similar budget, let me share my build with you.

bought a gpu via lazada
-gigabyte windforce oc 6gb
total after discounts around 1.1k (seems like a pretty good deal, hopefully?)
total spent: 1.1k
**am not sure iif you can find a unit for this price anymore but lets say you cannot find one (suspect you will have to get one for around 1.3k?), easy, just minus off the ssd at the end, still fits your budget

have not gotten these:
-i5 6500 (slightly better then what you have in mind)
-Asus b150m-a/m.2 (more features than the mobo you have in mind)
-G.SKILL aegis 8GB GDDR4
-FPS HEXA 550w (seemingly cheap & popular)
-techwave alpha (i have no idea, just going with what was recommended)
total around 2k+-
total spent: 3.1k

am also going to get a monitor online (they seem cheaper than buying in stores)
-va2419-sh (probably seems like an alright monitor, 24" IPS panel)
total around 500
total spent: 3.6k

so that just leaves the ssd/hdd and a somewhat healthy 400 budget
personally have a few hdd's ling around salvaged so i dont really need those
-apacer panther as330 240gb (rm 300+-)
OR (in ur case)
-1tb for 200+
total spent: 3.8k


you may or may not have extra for an ssd at this point (depending on the price of that gpu)
that leaves you with around 200 for an ssd if you want one (probably need to topup a few bucks?)
-120GB ssd, 200

**this is my 4 days worth of hunting~
all the best!!
