Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion!



Let's say I don't want to have SSD in this built (or only getting 120GB for OS/Essentials), which part i can spend more to enhance the performance further?

wooo thank you..

Graphic card. Next level for CPU is significantly more expensive. Need to change to overclockable motherboard and adding heatsink.

[Budget] 3.5k

[Purpose] Mostly gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Casing ( Corsair 350D), Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, World of Warcraft

[Personal preferences] None

So far this is what Ideal Tech offered me for RM7069, I was wondering do I need to upgrade the RAM into GSKILL RipjawsV RED 2x8GB DDR4 2800mhz (CL15)/(CL16) for RM649 and the PSU into FSP Hydro G 650W (80+GOLD/Full MODULAR)*5 Years Warranty (Entitled for Red Green Match VI RM50 Rebates) for RM499.

Intel Core i5 7400 - RM 854
MSI B250M Bazooka - RM 429
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 280
Sapphire RX470 4GB GDDR5 Nitro+ - RM 998
Intel 600P 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD - RM 448
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 359
Casing re-use

Total: RM 3587 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

If you play other games too, especially triple A titles then you are recommended to focus more on GPU (dump the SSD idea and go for GTX1060 6GB or RX480 8GB) first.

RAM - 8GB is enough but will run of out memory in no time if you don't practice memory management at all, i.e. few Chrome/FF tabs can take away half of your available memory already, 16GB is recommended for this case (not mandatory though as Windows will remove inactive apps from the memory if it is not enough or use virtual memory).

PSU - I have no idea why they always push that PSU model to their customer, RM 349 for a non-modular and unknown internal component quality (barely got any review online), why take the risk? Superflower Leadex Silver is obviously a better choice here within the same price range. And yes I do recommend you to top up your budget a bit for a better PSU in this case.

thanks a lot for the insight and suggestion ! will do both the upgrade.

Oh and about the Wireless adapter, is it sufficient to use the TL-WN881ND (300Mbps Wireless N PCI Express Adapter) listed there in terms of stability and connection range ?

World of Warcraft heavily favors Nvidia. GTX1060 3GB is recommended instead.

If latency is on top of priority then ethernet connection is recommended, otherwise it is fine, if your router is 5GHz capable then you may consider getting the dual band model instead.

Good insight, but if it is played on a 60Hz monitor then it doesn't really matter since it is able to output 90+ FPS in average ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's preset Level 7 out of 10. Last 3 significantly increases the requirements.

I see, I don't play WoW and I thought it is "quite" a lightweight game

Sentinel92 Time for new thread soon.

Yeah, I'm running GTX 1070 at Level 8. Level 9 a bit lag already.

can I know some feedback about Acer KG240A RM999 144hz 1ms monitor compared to the BENQ 24" XL2411 ?
I've asked like 5-6 resellers like ideal tech, etech, dota tech, and all of them are out of stock for the BENQ 24" XL2411 monitor. I guess I'm out of choice and have to consider the acer monitor, so I would like to know if its good enough.

Techview posted the picture of BenQ Zowie XL2411 two weeks ago on their FB page, not sure if it is sold out or not, if you haven't asked them then you can try to PM them.
