That's only a minor 100MHz bump (turbo speed of HD530), since you are going to get a dedicated GPU later, save the money and get the 6100

Price base on your listing.

But i7 + GTX1060 to "improve" CSGO skill is a bit overkill

No.

Depends on what games you play, some require > 8GB some don't.

Technically yes, you can swap the 4GB for 8GB, this will deactivate the dual channel mode but it is not a big deal since the speed difference is barely noticeable in real life usage.

You can swap to GTX1060 3GB if you wish to do so. If you plan to get SSD together then you need to downgrade the i5 to i3 (or possibly GPU as well), but this is not worth considering SSD doesn't boost gaming performance in terms of frame rate other than just loading time, I will rather just add it later when I have more funds.

Techview will move to new location (SS2) starting tomorrow onwards, please check out their FB to find out the new address if you want to get all the parts from them.

You are willing to play the waiting game, some don't. And price cut? Pray hard for distributors and AMD to follow that if it is true, AMD had jacked up the price of RX card so much, just don't put your hope too high on this.

And his budget is 3k initially and 3.3k max, 1.1k GTX1060? Yea sure it is a good deal but that would add have to add another RM 150+ "burden" to his wallet, if he can top up then surely it would be a better pick

Good analysis

All of these can be a reference for him to build his rig

The performance RAM @ 2800MHz will be downgraded to 2133MHz automatically because the mobo picked doesn't support RAM speed > 2133MHz.

Casing is not listed in the hardware to reuse list, so you need a new casing too?

Since you aren't going to get an overclockable setup, the i7 6700 will be a better pick than i5 6600K in this case.

You can consider these options if you want to stick with high speed RAM (between RM 600 - RM 700):
1. MSI Z170A Gaming Pro
2. Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
3. Gigabyte Z170-HD3P
4. Asus Z170-K

Not necessary.

I will go for this.

Need a new rig recommendation or the used rig that you've PM'ed yesterday will do?

If you want to stick with 24" then another choice would be Acer K242HL.

SSD lifespan will decrease gradually overtime, but looping video doesn't require the use of SSD if you are low on budget, even a 4K video will still load fine on a 7,200 RPM HDD.

So you need a PC that can do this simple looping task and 1 FHD monitor?

What monitor size are you looking to get?

ASRock B150M-HDV - RM 283
Corsair 4GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 96

GTX1070 > GTX980Ti > GTX1060

GTX980Ti is pretty close to GTX1070's performance but I will vouch for GTX1070 due to its newer architecture and better DX12 support, as well as more VRAM. All of them are Nvidia cards so expect them to perform the same across all generation unless Nvidia gimps the older generation cards again via driver update

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 865
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 171

Total: RM 4696 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

1k for whole rig? Hmm, that's a bit hard, even a 120GB SSD will take almost 20% of your available budget already

Intel Pentium G4400 - RM 225

I suggest you to look for used item in Garage Sales instead because building a new rig from scratch is very costly right now and you will end up with just a "half-baked" barebone that couldn't yield the performance you are looking to get. APU is better if you are on a low budget and don't have the plan to upgrade in short time, CPU + GPU is opposite of that but you will have to suffer in the first few months without GPU, the iGPU of G4400 is just a HD510 which packs the performance of GT720/R5 230.

What makes you feel like want to do the upgrade? Especially the SSD and HDD, I rarely see people upgrade them unless it is faulty/broken, not enough storage space, or upgrade to a completely different technology (like SATA to PCIe). Your HDD is a 2TB WD Black, that's the top tier consumer grade HDD that you can get it locally already, I don't know why you want to get rid of it

As for monitor, different people is having different personal preferences, you might want to list out some of your requirements, like screen size, resolution, refresh rate, design etc to scale down the total choices.

Oh so it was storage issue. What's your mobo model? If it supports M.2 NVMe SSD then Intel 600P is a good choice, 256GB only costs RM 450+, around the same price of SATA based 850 EVO but with a much faster transfer speed.

HDD wise, well I will just grab any 7200 RPM HDD in the market, WD Black is a little overpriced to me, I will just get WD Blue (for 1TB) or Seagate Barracuda (1TB - 4TB), other choices like Hitachi can be considered too.

IPS never had a low response rate, the lowest it can go so far is 4ms, but it is hard to notice the difference with our naked eyes (1ms vs 4ms).

Acer R241Y (4ms)
Dell U2414H (6ms), U2417H (6ms), S2316H (6ms), S2415H (6ms)
AOC i2369VM (5ms), i2476VWM (5ms), i2481FXH (5ms)

All monitors listed above are 1080p 60Hz IPS.

Rig only?

500GB HDD costs more than a 120GB SSD nowadays, new 500GB HDD is around RM 185+, by adding RM 20+, you could get a 1TB, the value of 500GB is totally not worth

Well I checked the APU list, none of them suit your budget, low end APU is using R5 GPU which isn't far ahead of the HD510 only.

If you can wait then it is always worth the wait, just look at Haswell Refresh and Skylake CPU, the price is almost identical (within few bucks difference only), but Skylake packs more performance than Haswell (10% - 15% in average)

Some people might not care about the generation and performance, they will just grab whatever the market is offering, but some people prefer to play the waiting game and board the latest tech train ASAP when it reaches them, so it is really up to your personal decision whether to wait or not, if you are in need of a new PC then you can just get Skylake for now because next gen desktop CPU is only scheduled to arrive in Jan 2017 (according to many sources).
