i7 + GTX1080 is going to cost you at least 4.3k already so that's impossible when you still have to allocate some budget for the rest of the components.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 835
Gigabyte H170-HD3 - RM 446
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290

Samsung 750 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 315
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409

Intel Unveils The 600P M.2 SSD Series; Priced From RM277

https://www.lowyat.net/2016/112775/intel-un...ced-from-rm277/

WOW the 256gb version is fast 1570mbps and affordable RM420

Terrance
does that mean if i have a laptop that supports m.2 it can handle those speeds.

what about the cheapest skylake mobo that have m.2?
is there an adapter to connect m.2 ssd to mobo and can handle fast speeds? how much adapter?

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 470
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145
PowerColor RX470 4GB GDDR5 Red Devil - RM 899
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware F3 - RM 125

Total: RM 2312 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

If the GPU has no stock (most likely), you can either wait for it or swap to other model (require top up).

That one is sequential read and it is not representing the whole thing, we still have to see the 4K random read/write speed which we deal quite a lot daily, but overall the specs is fine, hopefully the price is fine too when it reaches here.

Some compatible mobo require BIOS update, some don't, some can use M.2 SSD as boot disk, some don't, so need to check the compatibility first before buying it, so far there are few B150 chipset mobo which come with M.2 PCIe SSD support, price starts from RM 350+/-.

If the chipset is supported then most likely it will be able to run this SSD, this applies to both laptop and desktop.

Your best buy would be Palit or Zotac GTX950, priced slightly over RM 600.

hi terence, as my friend want to change the chassis to Corsair 400C and he will change the mobo to Z170 Mortar. Is it compatible with all of the hardware stated before ? Ive seen the case, and I'm sure Strix 1070 will fit inside. How about the mobo ? as I'm not sure what is the most proper size mobo that can be put inside the case

Can fit.

Is it possible, with a budget 3.5k to put a rig with i7 and a dedicated GPU that can support Lumion 6 ? Pls include a monitor too, do notify me if it is impossible due to budget constraint

hi, please recommend

[Budget] MYR3500

[Purpose] Gaming - BF4 & CS:GO

[Hardwares that will be re-use] keyboard & Mouse

[Monitor resolution] Planning 27"

[Games & softwares that use frequently] BF4 & CS:GO

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290
Gigabyte RX460 4GB GDDR5 Windforce OC - RM 659
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware F3 - RM 125
BenQ GW2470H - RM 469

Total: RM 3505 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Of course if you can add more budget then it will be better, if your workload in Lumion is mostly heavy/complex scene then you are recommended to get a better GPU like GTX1060 6GB/RX480 8GB etc.

Those games listed are best played on a 144Hz monitor.

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 707
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145
Gigabyte RX470 4GB GDDR5 G1 Gaming - RM 999
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
Acer XB240H 144Hz - RM 952

Total: RM 3675 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Over budget, but it can be used as a reference for 144Hz build.

You can either top up your budget or swap to a normal 60Hz monitor, if you choose to stick with 27" (I won't go for 27" if the resolution is still 1080p, too pixelated if sit too close to the monitor) then you can go for Acer R271 (RM 849), if you choose 24" then you can add a 120/240GB SSD.

hi,

I am planning to buy a new rig with very limited budget. The main purpose is for FIFA and a few adobe software. (Photoshop, illustrator & indesign). Planning to learn about after effects in the future. Can I get a decent rig for below rm 2000. The recommended requirement for FIFA is as below

OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 - 64-Bit
CPU: Intel i5-3550K @ 3.40GHz or AMD FX 8150 @ 3.6GHz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive Space Required: 50.0 GB
Minimum Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 270

Honest speaking, decent rig with 2k budget? No.

The system requirements stated by you is recommended system specs I believe and it would take you around 3k+/-.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 470
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145
Palit GTX950 2GB GDDR5 Dual Fan - RM 625
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Corsair VS450 - RM 162
Tecware F3 - RM 125

Total: RM 2012 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Hi, need help to suggest for custom rig

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Nothing

[Monitor resolution] 27 ips 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Donno yet

[Personal preferences] i7 6700

If you want best bang for the bucks setup, then you shouldn't even consider Asus Strix, you need to fork out extra ~15% just for the brand name

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1509
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - RM 779
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz RAM - RM 399
Asus GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X Strix - RM 3619
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 279
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
CM V650 - RM 479
Corsair Hydro H100i GTX - RM 619
NZXT S340 - RM 315

Total: RM 8217 (Jayacom price inclusive of GST)

I doubt that Melaka outlet(s) will have all the items stated above (as in ready stock) and there is a new refreshed model for the mobo picked above with "Aura" branding at the back, but I cannot find it in the price list, please check with them yourself for stock availability and pricing.

P/S: The cooler is extremely expensive compared with the one sold in KV area (around RM 100+/-).
