XFX Radeon 7770 OC 1gb 128bit

450W or better recommended for HD7770. Your PSU is 250W. Continuous wattage is the one you will be looking at, not max or peak wattage.

So do you think going from geforce 210 to radeon HD 7770 is a worthwhile upgrade for rm200?

This build is a good starting point for high end 1080p gaming, it can handle graphics demanding games without any major issue too on 1080p 60Hz (GTX980 equivalent), I don't see the need to go for GTX1070 when you mostly run Dota 2, CS:GO and other online games.

You didn't mention your casing form factor so I assume it is ATX size and is able to fit the above components.

Yup, its a big jump. Even your built-in GPU is better than G210. What is your monitor resolution?

Yup. They cater for latest hardware now. Hopefully when WoW: Legion launches, there is driver optimization.

Hello there, I am new here and am from Seremban N9. Am looking build a rig that is mainly for gaming. Would like to of course get the best prices of each parts. Will also plan to overclock in the future and sli or xfire but for now a single VGA will do and the VGA Should be in the GTX 1070 series. Please take in to consideration of our ridiculous weather here in msia and if those parts will be largely affected by it. Also willing to travel to the shop to buy the parts and the dates i will be going around to purchase the parts would be 26/8 and 27/8. Also if there are any combo offers, not full rig combos would be great to include those in too and also any freebies

Parts Not needed:
1) Casing CM 690 Series
2) HDD
3) Softwares
4) Monitor
5) No special coolers needed for now


Important Part to include would be a SSD the lowest possible and cheapest as well just to add the windows in to it and certain important software.

Budget 4-(5k+-) <<<< If can go less would be nice



[B]PS: Would love if some one can explain why you chose those parts[/B]

I use a 24in monitor on 1920x1080 res

HD7770 should be fine for CS:GO and DOTA 2.

Price might change by the time you are ready to purchase the items so the price that I am going to list down is based on today's rate taken from the seller.

OC build isn't cheap to build and the performance/price ratio is bad when it comes to gaming, most of the games do not show any significant performance bump in terms of FPS.

I don't include a cooler yet, but you need to grab a cheap stock cooler (around RM 50) because Skylake K CPU doesn't come with stock cooler.

You can save at least 1k by going for non-OC build (more budget friendly).

Tks so much for the feedback, What is your take on the Non-OC build?

How about the core shaving that part off and instead using i5 6600k
And also can i reduce the DDR4 rams to a slightly less pricy one

The amd rx 460 exist or is it preorder?

If I were to go for OC build, I won't take 6600K considering DX12 and Vulkan have started to become mature now in games (slowly) and should become the major API for all the upcoming games in next 3 years, this is where the 6700K starts to shine thanks to its multicore. DX12 and Vulkan aim to take advantage of the multicore of the CPU and reduce the CPU overhead for better graphics output performance.

It is just like you have 4 legs (i5) vs 8 legs (i7), no matter how much steroid (OC) you put in 4 legs, it is still very hard to beat the 8 legs, either in speed or efficiency, but then if you cannot fork out extra for the 8 legs (i7), stick with 4 legs (i5), it will work too, regardless of K or non-K, K gives you extra ability to OC it when needed (after several years when Skylake CPU starts to show some bottleneck symptoms like 1st and 2nd gen Intel CPU now).

RAM can be downgraded to normal one but Skylake does show performance improvements when pairing with high speed RAM, this is normally not the case during DDR3 era, but DDR4, they are

Stock reached Malaysia last week, if it hasn't sold out yet then you can get it on the spot.

Please consult Techview for stock availability.

in that case issit i7 6800k would be more benefit for DX12 for gaming itself?

So far all the available DX12 games in the market don't show any significant improvement when going from 6700K to 6800K, the performance is mostly same or just 1 to 2 FPS difference only, so 6700K is the max you should spend on currently, focus more on the GPU instead.

Faster cores matter more than more cores currently, still, provided the games have all the resources it needs from the system.

goldfries Can you please pin this thread?

Thanks.

hi sifu,
Just want to ask those gaming rigs from Techview,etc are good? as I see those 2k~3k setup is around my budget too.

Thanks and Regards

Hello bro, I changed my mind, will go for Palit GTX 750 Storm now.

So if I buy the GTX 750 card, will this PSU be able to handle it?

It depends on your requirements, some people prefer to max out the GPU instead of bundling the rig with SSD (which doesn't help in improving the FPS), some prefer AMD/Nvidia card, some prefer to have better/nice looking casing, you can always customize it yourself, not necessary need to follow the bundle.

Hi guys

I have asked earlier for mitx build for office use. Local shops only sell this mobo

Msi h110m pro vh
Msi b150m bazooka

Is this compatible for mitx build? Casing used is cm130
