Hi i need a help with my colleague build up pc for work

[Budget] company pay for it but i put 6k

[Purpose]  using for construction site for drawing n daily use

[Monitor resolution] bigger the better i think

[Games & softwares that use frequently] autocad, revit ,microsoft project n office

[Personal preferences] Due to construction site i would like the casing for fully dust filter

[Location] shah alam

Thank for recommendation
*
Dust filter of the chassis is never a "full" dust filter as tiny/micro dust can still enter the chassis sweat.gif

The fan metal bracket is not dust filtered too so it is extremely hard to build a rig with everything filtered.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1330
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 438
Zotac GTX1050Ti 4GB GDDR5 Mini - RM 729
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 296
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 339
CM Silencio 452 - RM 248
Acer R271 - RM 855

Total: RM 4896 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

I don't max out the 6k budget here but you can do the following if you want to do so:

1. 1440p (or 4K) monitor for more workspace.
2. A better GPU if you need more CUDA core/VRAM for 3D modeling/rendering etc.

and many more.

[B][Budget] 6000+2000 for monitor

[Purpose] heavy gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] none

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080 only

[Games & softwares that use frequently] It will be AAA games in this recent years

[Personal preferences] 144hz monitor, won't drop lower than 58 fps on ultra setting, would like to finish my The Witcher 3, Metro series, Assasins Creed series, Rise of Tomb Raider (this game is intense on graphic i know), recent AAA titles

If sifus got free times can help me list both in NVidia and AMD GPU

[Location] Sarawak (i prefer Etech or Techview due to last purchase of CSGO rig)
*
It is very hard to guarantee > 58 FPS on ultra settings in every PC titles as this is largely depends on the optimization, just take Mafia 3 as example, it is a poorly optimized console-port and you can't get a stable 60 FPS even with GTX1080 (1080p only) bangwall.gif

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1330
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 438
Palit GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X Jetstream - RM 2792

NZXT S340 - RM 320
Dell S2417DG GSync - RM 1919

Total: RM 8165 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

A Dell 1440p 144Hz monitor is used instead of 1080p because it feels more worth than Acer Predator XB241H (price difference is just few bucks). Not going to an AMD GPU build because none of the AMD GPU is able to compete with GTX1070/GTX1080 yet.

You can do some tweaking to keep the cost below 8k (like removing one of the 8GB RAM).

In general yes but still up to the optimization of the games you play. Performance is about the same with +/- 5 FPS difference at most due to different setup, swapping for Zotac card for extra warranty sounds ok to me.

Something like Dell U2515H (25" 1440p, around RM 1400), Dell U2715H (27" 1440p, around RM 2150), Dell U2717D (27" 1440p, around RM 2250, new model).

As for GPU, it is up to your workload, if it requires a more powerful GPU (due to heavy modelling/rendering etc) then you can go for GTX1060 6GB.

Hello. I would like to ask for some advice with regards to building a new budget rig as I do not have much knowledge about building a rig.

[B][Budget] 4500 (Rig only and if possible lower than this)+1000 for monitor

[Purpose] mainly gaming only and just surfing the internet/watching videos

[Hardwares that will be re-use] none (please exclude peripherals from the budget)

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080 (I plan to buy Dell U2417H but kindly suggest if there are any better option and i plan to have a second monitor in future to do other things like skype while playing games etc)

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, CS:GO, FIFA 17, Football Manager 17, GTA V and also like to try other AAA games

[Personal preferences] I would prefer if it's possible to play games in ultra/max settings on 1080p for the monitor mentioned above. I am someone that have the habit to open multiple tabs or programs.

[Location] Kuala Lumpur (Prefer Idealtech as my bro purchased from there previously)
Actually I did do some research and did some combination myself but do have a lot of doubts. Kindly advise if it's compatible. (Based on idealtech list)

CPU: I5 6600 (I dont plan to overclock, will I5 6500 or 6400 more worth it?)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (I am struggling whether i should stretch my budget up to GTX 1070)
Mobo: Gigabyte H170M-D3H (Will ATX mobo better than than MATX?)
RAM: Gskill Aegis Series 8GB DDR4 2133 Mhz (thinking if i should get 2x8gb)
Chassis: Xigmatek Octans 236B (ATX better?)
PSU: Superflower Leadex Silver 550W (Is this reliable or if there are any better choices?)
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 250GB (I would like to maintain SSD of this size)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 bit (I buy it as i prefer them to set up everything for me)

Should I include aftermarket air cooler since I didn't plan to overclock? any significant differences? Should I stretch my budget to ATX mobo and casing? and if the abovementioned build is compatible to each other?

Sorry for having so many questions and thanks for your help! appreciate it.
*
i5 6500 yields a better price/performance ratio among all Skylake i5 available in the market.

ATX mobo grants you more upgrade room as you aren't going to stuck with limited PCIe slots (and potentially other connectivity ports/slots too), same goes to the chassis.

16GB RAM is recommended if you are a heavy multitasker, 8GB RAM is barely enough if you are lazy to close all the unused programs or tabs in your browser before firing up your games.

GTX1060 is more "budget friendly" (in your case), if you are ok with not-so-high-end 1080p monitor then you can use the extra money saved from U2417H for GTX1070, U2417H is a premium IPS monitor that might be a little bit overpriced in those 144Hz monitor hunters as you can get a 144Hz with the price tag of U2417H.

Aftermarket cooler is optional for your build, it is not necessary to get it initially, if stock cooler (Intel HSF) isn't able to give you a comfortable temperature and cooling then only start thinking to get a decent aftermarket cooler to replace it.

As for PSU, I would suggest a top up of RM 70 for Leadex Gold (tier 1 PSU) thumbup.gif

hello. im thinking to change my display card to 1050 ti.
currently using 7850 2gb. is there huge different in term of performance?

here's the case.
i have issue with my game fps right after i change my monitor to 144hz.
previously when using 60hz monitor, i can get around 200~250fps in CSGO.
after change to 144hz, it stay at 160 ~ 180fps.

so will the upgrade increase the fps?

and yes. those fps matter to me.
*
Hmm, changing monitor from 60Hz to 144Hz shouldn't affect the performance of the GPU, something weird is going on here, are you sure all the settings are the same?

Back to the question, yes, upgrading to GTX1050Ti from 7850 will provide more performance but you need to find out the root cause of frame rates drop first before going for this upgrade as this is not a feasible solution.

WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188

Your 144Hz monitor doesn't come with GSync/FreeSync technology right?

VSync on/off?

If your budget allows, upgrade to i5 6500 for a faster base clock (most of the games require fast CPU, > 3.0 GHz will surely help a bit nowadays).

Alright it is just a normal 144Hz without variable refresh rate support (like GSync/FreeSync) so the problem isn't from this technology but still kinda weird to see reduced performance when using 144Hz monitor sweat.gif

Edit: Please note that mITX is compact, thus reducing the heat dissipation speed so the internal components might be hotter than usual (like ATX), if you can, please top up and get a fully modular (or semi) PSU to eliminate unused cables from piling up in the case (+ dust collector after a long time tongue.gif ).

1) hey guys, my current PSU CM GX650W is failing me..

I see a lot of recommendations for new rig here to use superflower leadex gold 650w, priced at rm 449.
Is it good since so many recommendations?

Just want to ask if I buy it from shops like Etech or Idealtech or whatever pc shops, do they help with installation of the psu? If yes, will the charge for it?

2) My current rig quite old. but dont plan to upgrade mobo/cpu yet..

Rig: Cooler Master HAF 912 Advance Casing @ CM GX650W PSU
Motherboard: Asus P8P67
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 2x2GB DDR3 (4GB)
GPU: SAPPHIRE ATI Radeon HD 6950 (2GB) DDR5
HardDisk: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue 32MB Cache/7200RPM
Monitor: 24" 1920x1080p
Year: March 2011

3) What other things i can upgrade besides mobo/cpu? any compatible gpu in the market that is compatible with my mobo?
-games i mostly play is dota/fifa/csgo those. not really AAA titles. is current gpu still good enough and no need to upgrade yet?

4) and also wanna upgrade/add rams to my mobo as well. Recommendations? Should I upgrade to 8gb or 16gb? and my mobo can only use ddr3 rams?
- i multitask quite a lot, and im the kinda person to leave open many tabs to read stuffs.

5) should i add in an ssd for OS and reformat the 1tb for storage?

thanks for advice.
*
Yes, it is a tier 1 fully modular PSU below RM 450 price tag, worth every single penny.

If you only buy the PSU and ask them to install for you (+ cable management) then yes it is chargeable, though I am not entirely sure on the charges. PSU is easily to install and you don't have to worry about using wrong cable/header because the port/connector is not the same for each interface (ATX/EFS/PCIe/SATA etc.). As for cable management, well it is easy and handful for a fully modular PSU. 500W is enough for your rig.

Modern GPU communicates with mobo via PCIe so basically all the GPU in the market is compatible with your mobo, but at a reduced bandwidth due to PCIe 2.0 interface (doesn't affect the performance too much as 2.0 is enough for now). Your current GPU is still good for those games listed, doesn't really need to upgrade unless you are craving for more frame rates or want to run them at higher settings.

4GB RAM is barely enough nowadays, get another 4GB to make it 8GB in total (can get 8GB if needed) and yes your mobo only supports DDR3 RAM. SSD is optional, if you have extra money to spare then you can consider getting one.

QUOTE(LordDenning @ Nov 7 2016, 10:25 PM)
thanks for the reply.

i guess i'll just get 650W so that in the future if i upgrade mobo/gpu can still use and no need to upgrade again.
besides the 550w is only rm40 cheaper. not much difference in the price.

and also i think i wont be upgrading my gpu then.

looks like it'll be psu, rams and maybe SSD for me.

for the ram, my current ram is 2x2gb (4gb), what configurations should I upgrade to? If I choose to get an 8gb ram, then I would have a total of 12gb ram? But it will be using 3 slots? Should I get 2x4gb or one 8gb? and no problems using diff brand rams right?

for the SSD im not sure on the brand & storage size to get. We only keep the OS on the SSD while other things like documents, games, songs, pictures on the HDD right? So what size would you advice me to get?
*
RAM is a bit hard to guarantee it will work in all configurations, even with same brand and same model (but different batch rolleyes.gif ), the best would be picking up a 8GB DDR3 RAM and then slot in directly, see if the system accepts the new RAM or not, if it doesn't then you have to take "trial-and-error" method, it might end up just the new 8GB RAM in effect where system ignores or rejects the old RAM to be paired with the new RAM, but yea this is the worst case scenario but you still get an upgrade from 4GB to 8GB. If everything goes well then you will get 12GB in total, the dual channel model (2GB x 2) will be invalidated/deactivated though, this will affect the performance but just a little which is very hard to notice in real life usage.

OS could take up to 30GB, if you plan to store games/files in SSD for faster I/O access then please go for 240GB, else 120GB is enough. 240GB is more worth, just like PSU, adding like ~RM 100 and you will get double of the size of 120GB.

Well if you are going for RX470 8GB at 1.1k then I would suggest you to switch to GTX1060 6GB instead, more performance at similar price tag flex.gif

GTX1050Ti (around RM 750) could handle the job pretty decent on 1080p, mobo can swap to low end H110 (can save up to RM 100+) as well.

Im actually thnking to change a better MOBO.. Because I feel like MOBO got problem, the orange light (on CPU) always light (it's NOT blinking). Sometimes feel like hanging feel

Is that ECS mobo a local unit/set? They don't seem to be available officially here.

Apart from the orange light issue, is there any other thing that makes you feel like going for a upgrade? PC slow? Low FPS?

That's the problem. Actually I was build the rigs from sources here and I wanted ASrock MOBO, but duno why... Anyway forget it.

Don't know how to describe the hanging feel, consider PC slow. Sometimes like open something (eg FIFA), it needs wait quite a while, the cursor is not waiting sign, then the orange light will keep on light.
*
The orange light is actually a light from your chassis right? If yes then it means your system is reading/writing to the disk drives, this is normal and is an indicator for us to know the PC is actually doing something that is I/O related. If the light is from the mobo (or on the mobo) itself then that's another story.

Your setup is ok for FIFA (FIFA 17 as well) so I don't see any need to upgrade the mobo and GPU for now, adding a SSD would help a lot especially OS booting time and app loading speed.

No need to change RAM or mobo, can stick with similar build, if you want to save some money then you can "downgrade" to value RAM with base clock of 2133MHz.

The current selected RAM will be downgraded from 2400 to 2133 as well so there is virtually no performance difference here but you can save a couple of bucks.

Currently I'm thinking start with 2 rx470 8gb and after earning enough, will buy another 1 or 2,

Not a bitcoin miner here but the price of RX470 8GB here in Malaysia is pretty terrible (it is good in US and is one of the best price/performance GPU but sadly not here), GTX1060 6GB/RX480 8GB is a better pick.

No need to buy an expensive mobo for bitcoin mining, if you plan to have a 4 GPU setup for mining then just get the mobo with at least 4 PCIe slots (doesn't matter support SLI/CF or not because they can work independently), just get PCIe riser if space/clearance is not enough.

Something like ASRock H170 Pro 4 (5 PCIe slots), Gigabyte H170-HD3 (4 PCIe slots) will do, they all come with 4 DDR4 RAM slots and support Skylake and the upcoming Kaby Lake CPU, price is around RM 500 only.
