mmm.. i see then   

i thought i was only for itx mobo.. haha..

then i may consider Asrock H110M - HDV (DDR4/mATX) then.. its cheaper too...

about my cooler should i go cryorig M9I or CM blizzard T2 (cheaper) / cm Xdream I117 (cheapest) - i look the price ad idealtech website though.  i know its pricey there but just incase i use max price so later if there is leftover money i can add up something.. hehe

is there any consequences of using cheaper cooler ? dunnow what to consider in choosing types of cooler actually.

Thanks in advance

You cannot use the 6700K processor on H170 mobo. Only Z170 mobo is compatible with LGA1151 unlocked (K) processors.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I thought new LGA1150 hardware still widely available and might be cheaper than LGA1151. So I'll use this as reference. Thanks again.

Hey guys, i just want to ask whether it is worth it to upgrade my rig to i7? Whats the cheapest option to upgrade?

My current specs are
I5  2400
8gb ram
Gtx 1060
Seasonic s12ii 620w

Noted. Do suggest a rig appropriate with the budget please. Thanks in advance!

i forgot to reply, is there any TN panel with super low latency such as 1, 2, 3 ms below stated budget for 24inch? 

hi terence, can the RAM be upgraded to 16gb? can the rig support it?

Hello sifus..

My fren just bought this Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming.. unfortunately he cant fit it in his current case   .. could anyone suggest a budget case for this GC?

would <RM 250 do for this purpose?

thank you!

RM3700 budget can get i7 + gtx 1070 in itx form factor?

only need cpu,gpu,mobo,psu,hdd,casing.

Things that could re-use old FSP 500W not confident if it have enough juice and reliability cos of age. Also hdd could be re-used but also age.

Old pc have been using 4-5 years I think, time for an upgrade. Any help is much appreciated thanks!

hello terrence.. i think his mobo is standard atx form.

can anyone suggest me below RM3K mATX gaming desktop consist of this,

i5 processor & gtx 1050 ti

Thanks!

The whole set please

are the prices for all 3 mentioned AIO coolers above around the same prices ? around 500++ ?

What if just the rig. RM3k for only the rig, + wifi card please. Thanks! 

please recommend a full modular psu for i5 6500, gtx 1060 build

cheaper, reliable is better

Hi Sifu.. I need some advise regarding my spec.

Budjet around RM 7.3k Max

Part I need to buy (Motherboard, Processor, GC)
Purposed to used for Gaming , some Work (Illustrator/Photoshop)
Monitor : Dell Ultrasharp U2417H (1080p Gaming Resolution)

I got 2 options in my mind :-

First :
i7-6700k
Asus Maximus Formula (1151)
Asus GTX 1080 OC

Second :
i7-6800k
Asus Rampage 10 (x99)
Asus GTX 1070 OC
1) Which options good for my next upgrade ?? (currently i use i5-2500k, gtx 560Ti, Asus p8p67-Pro motherboard)
2) I really need gtx 1080 for gaming ?? or 1070 will be good enof ?? (seem like for now i gonna use it for play game at resolution 1080p)
3) i7-6700k and i7-6800k ?? big different ?? Should i stay 1151socket ? or upgrade to x99 ??

Help me sifu .. dilemma... everynight ... keep watch youtube/forum.. really cant help me make my decision. either first (1) option / second (2) option

Thank brother for explanation.

my purposed use for work, not really required high end processor to work on.
I just use Illustrator, Photoshop for my work.

So in ur own opinion for my problem now.. I should go for i7-6700k right ? (work well on both gaming and workstation ?)

regarding GPU, yea currently i will stay on 1080p monitor.
Seem 4k monitor just to new in market, abit expensive to me.
Maybe i will wait couple year 1~2 year more then just spend on 4k monitor.
So i  should get GTX 1080 ?? play awhile with my 1080p monitor, while waiting my 4k monitor ??

I got a silly question / and idea..

should i get gtx 1070 for now.. use it for 2 year until i planning get 4k monitor.
Then that time i resell my gtx 1070 and get better GC at the moment to support my 4k monitor ??

or i just get gtx 1080 for now ? while waiting my 4k monitor. ??

Thank you brother. again for reply me.

brother, this really a silly question.

If.. i get the x99 motherboard now.
possibly the next gen processor release (maybe 3~4 year coming up)..
this motherboard x99 (2011-3) still will support next gen processor ??

take as example .
Kabylake and Cannonlake.

so which socket very convenience to use for now? ( i mean easy to upgrade processor in the future time)
1151 or x99 ?

Sorry for silly >, < question.

Just to research as much i can, so i wisely make my decision before spend my money  

hahaha xD

So if go for LGA2011 for this upgrade, abit like wasted right ?? unless go with i7-6900k (totally not in my budjet lolz... )

So LGA1151 still the best buck for upgrading for Game and work purposed right ??

Somemore AMD Zen aroudn the corner too..
If i keep thinking want to get best perfomance processor + GC ..
Forever i can't be able to upgrade... coz technology wont stop , will keep release better and good processor and GC ..
I think i just stick to my original plan i7-6700k + good mobo for OC .

Then brother.. 1 more thing ..
Asus Strix gtx 1080 haf release 2 type card :-
1 is Advance
1 is OC type

Price quite abit diff alot , around RM 250~300+

what the diff for this 2 ?? Good enof to go for Advance ??
Is it this advance will do pretty well on OC same like the other card (OC ?)

If was you.. which u will pick ? Advance (A8G) or OC (O8G) ??

hmm really hard to decide now.

meanwhile sometime i thinking about get LGA2011-3 with i7-6800k .. just OC it + with gtx 1070
meanwhile sometime i thinking just stick to my original target upgrade .. LGA1151 with i7-6700k and go for gtx 1080 .. then slowly saving to get my 4k monitor.

as u say just now gtx 1080 still not fully qualified for UHD 4k monitor at the moment.
what you think if i upgrade my current spec to :-

LGA 2011-3 with i7-6800k (will overclock it)
and get GTX 1070 at the moment.

Maybe after 2 year + i resell back my GC + topup abit my money..
get 4k monitor + Latest GC that qualified to support 4k monitor ...

for overclock i7-6800k,
I think my current CPU Cooler, can help it ?
for now in my current rig, i use Corsair H110i-v2

hi,what is the lowest cost to build a rig of i5 6500+ rx480/1060 or i5 6500 +1070 ?

This DSR, is just a software thing right? no need gsync monitor?
are you recommending for people with normal 1080 monitor, just get gtx1060 and push DSR for best bang/buck rather getting gtx1070
