Hmm you wrote "gaming on high resolution" as purpose but 1080p in monitor resolution column, how is it considered as high resolution when 1080p has been the mainstream gaming resolution since decades ago, I though it gonna be at least 2k or 4k

And you asked for custom rig but in hardware to be re-used column is "nothing", so you need a new monitor too?

Sorry terence, i just missed that column. Monitor is not included in 5k budget.

I just want to setup new rig only, not included monitor. Just rig for 5k. Any recommendations?

Nah don't have to feel or say sorry, I am just confused when people here say "rig" but then monitor isn't included in the hardware to re-use list

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
Gigabyte H170-HD3 - RM 446
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290
Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Gamerock - RM 2099
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409
Tecware Alpha - RM 199

Total: RM 4941 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

To add in a 120/240GB SSD, you can downgrade the RAM to 8GB (RM 145) and mobo to mATX (like Gigabyte B150M-D3H, RM 379) or just top up your budget if you want to stick with the build above.

Thanks terence, will go to lowyat tomorrow and build asap

Hi thanks for the advice. If not asus strix what other better option is there. I am open for any. I saw the asus with aura branding at the shop but cannot remember the model for that mobo..

Proc : i3-2100
Mobo : Compaq Presario CQ3614D mobo (1 PCI Express x16)
Ram : 2+2gb value ram (later upgrade 8gb)
GC : Zotac GTX 950 Low Power 2GB DDR5
PSU : FSP500-50HNN

This spec should be good for PES and FIFA right?

Value in money - Palit Gamerock/Super Jetstream (around 3k+/-)
Mid range - EVGA ACX 3.0, Zotac AMP!, Gigabyte G1 Gaming, Asus Turbo (from 3.1k - 3.4k)

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura, last time they started the Aura series with B150I.

Depends on what settings you want to run, if don't mind low/mid then should be fine.

Hi just want to ask any sifu here if going for itx build without monitor, i7 6700 + GTX 1070 possible under RM4k? if get cheapest everything.

Impossible unless you have hardware to reuse (HDD/PSU etc.) or switch to i5.

I see, how about i7 6700 + GTX 1070 and cheapest itx Mobo, 8gb RAM,PSU & ITX case that can find. Possible under RM4k for these 6 items. Really trying to push the boundaries here

Will still over budget by a little bit unless you hunt for GTX1070 at GemFive (discount up to 12% with coupon code).

Can i see the build and over by how much want to see if can make adjustments.

Alright adjusted the build to make it as close to 4k as possible.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
ASRock H110M-ITX - RM 315
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 145
Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Dual Fan - RM 1899
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
CM Elite 130 - RM 178

Total: RM 4014 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Non-modular PSU in a mITX case = tough job for cable management and create unwanted heat being trapped inside the case (high temperature and collect dust overtime), fully modular PSU is more recommended.

hi sifu

my cpu temp has finally reached 80c while playing witcher 3. need suggestion on a good cpu cooler for i5 4460.

my case dimension is 185 x 429 x 470 WxHxD

Bitfenix Neos? Get Cryorig H7 to be safe.

Thank youuuu

ya. thanks for the suggestion. but can i ask how do u remove the cpu fan pin connector? cuz i try to wiggle out seems like the pin got stuck. i force until mobo terangkat already. any tips?

Xeon isn't cheaper than i7 already when Intel decided to throw in some requirements to run Xeon CPU in Skylake, it requires C232 chipset mobo which isn't cheap to get (for budget build), i7 is still more preferred due to slightly higher clock speed than Xeon E3 1230 V5.

24" for 1080p and 27" for 1440p is the perfect match, since you want to stick with 1080p, so just get a 24", not saying you cannot invest in a 27" 1080p monitor, but it is too "pixelated" for me due to much lower PPI.

I included a GSync monitor in the build list, it is pricey but comes with GSync and 180Hz feature, if you aren't looking for high frequency and GSync enabled monitor, you can swap to a normal TN 60Hz (around RM 500+) or IPS 60Hz (around RM 700 - RM 1000) or just get a normal TN 144Hz monitor (around RM 1000), and yea you can go for 27" too if you insist to board 27" train

Try to pry up from one of the side first, if you haven't removed it before then it is quite hard to remove for the first time.
