Medium 50+ is for HD 530, I personally tested it last year (yea I know it has been a while ), Vulkan Dota 2 build might improve the performance but I haven't had time to test it yet.

So HD 510 is expected to be able to run at lower settings with playable frame rate.

Hello all. I would like some suggestion to make a new rig for me. My 9 years old laptop just KO.

Budget 3k-3.5k

Desktop only as I have a extra Sony Bravia TV that has hdmi support

I am going to use it for surfing, watching 1080 videos, and occasional gaming (not necessarily to get high fps in ultra setting, med setting will do on latest AAA games), most of the time I would like to play league of legends in full setting and high fps if possible)

No preferable brand nor casing.
I prefer it's function VS price quality.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks bro. Is the PSU enough if i opt for Palit Dual Fan GTX1070?

More than enough

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 - RM 1128
Samsung 750 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 315
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 339
Tecware Alpha - RM 199

Total: RM 3452 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

GTX1060 is getting cheaper nowadays and it can handle triple A titles easily on 1080p high/ultra settings

Where is this E tech located? Does they so shipping?

Anyone can recommend me a good ssd just only for OS boot?

http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/easyit2u.htm

Physical shop is located in Kepong, they do have courier service.

Other shops that you can consider are DotaTech, Techview, Idealtech etc, they all provide shipping service.

If OS boot only then 60GB SSD is enough, but 60GB is nowhere to be seen in the market now due to massive price drop on 120GB SSD

Kingston UV400 120GB is not a bad option, price is around RM 160+/-, good enough (yet cheap) to use as a system drive for fast boot purpose

Thanks a lot bro.

Bro ur old laptop seems like v reliable, mind sharing the brand & ur experiences with ur laptop
Thanx

Hi guys, I’m an architecture student, and next year will be my second year, so I might have to get a pc that can actually carry softwares such as AutoCAD, Creative Cloud, SketchUp, etc. I’m not really too sure about the softwares that are needed for the course but those softwares I mentioned are what people in my school use. I’m also quite a tech illiterate so bear with me ;-;

[B][Budget]
RM2000-3000

[Purpose]
School, video editing and gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Just a mouse

[Monitor resolution]
1920x1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
CSGO, MapleStory (with VPN), and architecture related softwares, a lot of them I think

[Personal preferences]
I just want a computer that doesn’t freeze when opening heavy softwares/games. If the computer can run Mac (school) and Windows (gaming) OS, that would be great.

[Location]
Kajang/Kota Kinabalu

Also, what OS is best for architecture students? My friend told me to get a macbook for architecture, so is mac best for architecture students? I have a mba but I feel like it sometimes freezes a little bit, but not as much as my old lenovo g500s used to.

No idea on whether MacOS is better for architecture student or not but if you want to native Apple MacBook with MacOS then it is not possible with your current budget, you need to run Hackintosh for this.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 849
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 299
Apacer 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 149
HIS RX460 4GB GDDR5 iCooler OC - RM 599
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
<Casing of your own choice> ~ RM 200
BenQ GW2270 - RM 399

Total: RM 2903 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Consider adding another 8GB if you open many apps at the same time, same goes to SSD, it improves overall system responsiveness and shorter boot time.

Need a little bit of help here. I may be picky but:

Budget: Max 7.5k with monitor & keyboard
Res: FHD ~100Hz
Games: AAA games
Re-use HW: Mouse and headphones

Prefs:
Cooler: CM Nepton 140XL/Corsair h80i v2/Cryorig a40...or any coolers (close loop liquid preferred) close to their prices
RAM: DDR4 >2300MHz
GPU: GTX1060/GTX1070, OC if needed
Motherboard: z170 board
HDD: 7200rpm
SSD: if any, >200GB.
PSU: Full-modular

Thanks in advance! Also multiple versions of combination from dear sifus here will be better too!

Thanks for your help! Really appreciate it
I'll just stick with windows, if that's the case then.
But if I had a bigger budget, I should get larger ssd and ram, right? Should I also get an i7 processor too?
This rig will also be able to handle a little gaming, right? Do I need sound/graphic cards?

i7 is would be a great upgrade but some of the software you use might not be fully using it (not multicore), same goes to GPU, Nvidia GPU which comes with CUDA technology is more preferred in 3D modelling and rendering software, the current GPU picked in the list is an AMD card which doesn't have CUDA technology but with more VRAM, VRAM is used to store the data/elements/assets needed when you use to render (or any other process that uses GPU) so it doesn't have to keep on swapping the memory with the data needed (slow down the operation).

SSD doesn't add performance to the PC, it only improves the overall system responsiveness and shorten the boot time, apps launch faster = save more time.

RAM is very subjective, if you prefer to leave the app opened in background without killing it then you will need more RAM.

The rig comes with RX460 GPU, so yes it can handle gaming just right but not super advance graphics settings, Dota 2 and CS:GO max settings (1080p) shouldn't have any issue. As for sound card, the motherboard does come with basic sound card.
