I don't have Hikari85's latest price list so I will use one of the retailers in KV area as example.

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1424
Asus Prime B250M-A - RM 450
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 560
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169
Tecware Alpha - RM 219

Total: RM 2822 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Discrete GPU & SSD are not included, upgrade the PSU to a better one if you plan to get a powerful discrete GPU in the future, same goes to SSD, either downgrade the RAM to 8GB (not really recommended since you run so many applications at the same time) or top up your budget a bit for that.

The price of 500GB and 1TB HDD is damn close, not worth going for 500GB when you can get extra 500GB by paying a bit more only (~RM 20+/-).

Intel Pentium G4560 - RM 259
Asus H110M-K - RM 259
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
Zotac GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 Mini - RM 589
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169
Tecware F3 - RM 119
TP-LINK TL-WN722N USB WiFi - RM 45

Total: RM 1914 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

* BIOS update is required to run Kaby Lake CPU on H110 mobo.

ahhhh thanks, noted for the hdd. How much would the price be with an i3 processor?
Is it recommended or does it just give a small difference with the performance with the above spec?

G4560 is basically a Kaby Lake i3 with slightly slower clock speed as it comes with 2 core 4 threads (the highlight of the entire Kaby Lake CPU this time), you have to spend double to get i3 7100 for that 0.4GHz bump and better iGPU (HD630 vs HD610, but not useful in this case since you are going to get a discrete GPU anyway), no so budget friendly

great, thanks for clearing that up

Hi guys,

Got electrical short and then it died... tried everything from changing the sata ports, power cables...

Is 120gb sufficient?

Yes. If you are gaming, put the best games into that and your not favorite ones into the HDD. Most importantly, you can also get a new 250GB.

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z170M Extreme4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory x2
Storage: Western Digital Blue 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Hi guys can anyone quote me best price for this spec?

Can anyone recommend me any GPU as replacement for my 650TI Boost? I think my GPU officially died. I'm okay even if is getting the same card.

Budget not much, if can be done within RM400 that would be best. Don't mind on second hand also too as long as is working condition without issue.

You can try to use the pricelist from the popular retailers in Malaysia to get the total price.

Here is a reference list from ETECH.

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor RM 1107
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler RM 139
Motherboard: ASRock Z170M Extreme4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Phased out, replaced by Z270M Extreme4, RM 780
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory x2 RM 580
Storage: Western Digital Blue 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive RM 413
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive RM 219
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card RM 1480
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case RM 170
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply RM 459

The best would be looking for used card for that budget range because new low end GPU cost more than that, GTX750Ti around RM 500, GTX1050 around RM 600 etc.

Used GTX750Ti should be around RM 300 now (depends on item condition, warranty status etc.)

Thanks for the recommendations. Is there any cards from AMD? I don't mind using AMD or Nvidia though. I believed the heating problem on AMD is pretty much solved years ago right?

For AMD side, you may consider HD6950/HD7790/R7 260X, they are having similar performance with GTX750Ti, HD6950 is older than HD7790 and R7 260X is the rebranded version of previous card.

What about ASUS GT730-FML 2GB DDR3? Is that downgrade from my GTX650 TI Boost?

Yes, quite massively, anything below GTX750 in Nvidia 7xx series is total crap
