can all sifus recommend any upgrade ? wish to play current games with low settings budget is below Rm 700 thanks

pc auto shutdown due to temperature rising reach certain limit.

Ya.

Get another 4GB (to make it 8GB in total) and GTX950/RX460.

Hi guys, im changing from laptop to desktop. Need some help w my rig.

[Budget] 2.5k

[Purpose] light to medium gaming

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2

[Personal preferences] none

[Location] KL

Reusing mouse and keyboard only. Thank you very much.

How about MSI?

Hello, another friend of mine also wants to build a rig. His budget is around 2.7k. Just a rig without monitor, Thanks!

thanks!
HIS RX 460 4GB D5 , rm599 from viewnet . is this the best one i can get within the budget ? since i dint see anyone recommending this card

Hi guys.
Planning on a upgrade in the near future and have some questions.

1. My priority right now is upgrading the psu. I've set my sights on seasonic for this.
a) For a single gpu, all air cooling setup, is there a recommended wattage? Since I am planning for the psu to last a few builds I wanted to future proof from the wattage side of things.

b) Got my eyes on the m12II and X series, does the 80 bronze and 80 gold give any difference in terms of overclocking? Or is it just purely power saving cost?

2) Second would be the gpu. Currently have a 7870. The issue is I am torn on whether to upgrade to a gpu that is capable of good 1080p gaming or should I aim to future proof it a bit by getting a 1440p gpu. Current monitor is 1080p 60hz, I'm planning on upgrading my monitor to a 1440p 144hz but not I'm not getting the monitor anytime soon.

Any thoughts?

Intel Pentium i3 6100 - RM 479

Viewnet price list doesn't state the pricing for the casing so I couldn't include it in the build list, please make sure the form factor is correct (at least mATX).

HIS is not widely available in Malaysia that's why it is a bit "underrated" here.

By judging at the price, it should be a good deal. Quality and performance *not included* (yet to check review but should be doing good for budget build)

Depends on your setup, if you have a power hungry GPU then you need to prepare more headroom for it. For the current GTX1070/1080, a decent 400 - 450W is already enough, if you are planning to stick with AMD then get a 500/550W just to be safe, their power consumption never amuse me so extra headroom is always recommended.

Difference in terms of overclocking? Do you mean CPU overclocking? If you are using Intel CPU then overclocking doesn't take a lot of power from the wall, just a small increase. The 80+ rating is mainly for efficiency, it does save you some money in your electricity bill, but that will take quite a long time before you can benefit from it (as in the money paid for a 80+ Gold PSU vs the money saved from the bills).

GPU upgrade, well it depends on your budget TBH, even if you decide to stick with 1080p in the next couple of years, you still can invest in a "1440p" card, i.e GTX1070/1080, this gives you the opportunity to run all the games at ultra settings with decent frame rate without compromise. But don't forget you have to prepare at least 3k for the monitor too, 1440p 144Hz is pricey in Malaysia, so GPU and monitor upgrade would cost you nearly 5k+.

I was thinking of doing both cpu and gpu overclocking in the future, looks interesting.
Yeh, the monitor price is pretty crazy and I'm thinking that the whole industry hasn't "stabilised" yet. Thanks for your input. Now have to figure out if I am capable of waiting for vega or I should just go buy a 1070

Hi sifus, want to build my 1st rig. need recommendation.

[Budget] 3k to 3.4k( exclude monitor)

[Purpose] gaming- run AA titles at 30fps

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Personal preferences] gtx1060- mini version and normal dual fan version, alot difference?

[Location] KL

[Hardware already purchased ] benq gl24, mouse and keyboard.

Thank you very much boss

I already purchased asus rog strix oc.

Now need to get a good speaker. Any idea?

If you are referring to Zotac Mini and Palit Dual Fan version then the main difference between them is just the cooler itself, both come with similar base clock and base clock FYI.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 835
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 151
Palit GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Dual Fan - RM 1128
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha - RM 199

Total: RM 2986 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Optional upgrade/build:
1. 240GB SSD (or 120GB if only use to store OS)
2. RX480
3. GTX1060 (other version with better cooler design and clock speed)
4. Fully modular PSU

Thanks alot. planning to add in ssd 120gb( you recommend samsung evo 750 or 850?) . and use palit gtx1060 jetstream 6gb( any significant improvement?)

psu part im noob, modular psu?
http://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/...he-Differences-
is this it? for better airflow and cable managament?

If budget is tight, go for 750 EVO/UV400 and vice versa.

Jetstream comes with factory overclocked settings so you will gain slight performance improvements (probably around 5 FPS+/-) over the one which runs on stock speed (Mini & Dual etc).

Yes, better airflow and cable management. Non modular cables are messy and a dust collector but much cheaper than fully modular

i see. noted. thanks alot bro. you rock! .
