950 Pro is a NVMe PCIe SSD while 850 is just a normal AHCI SATA 3 SSD, the speed difference is quite significant, same goes to the price tag

But SATA based SSD is already fast enough for normal users to feel its speed advantage over the traditional HDD, 950 Pro is more like a luxurious car, I wouldn't recommend anyone to get it now unless you transfer a lot of stuffs in between all the drives that you have in your rig due to its price tag, wait for few more years until the price gets settled down

512GB is faster than 256GB (both read and write).

Yes, not included yet.

Imagine you have a 720p screen and a 1080p screen on 7" tablet, you will notice the display and text are much sharper on the 1080p screen thanks to its higher ppi (pixel per inch). This applies to PC monitor resolution as well, higher resolution will bring more details (pixel counts are higher), thus creating a sharper display.

GTX1060 6GB is best fit for 1080p, I wouldn't call it overkill unless you aren't planning to run games at maximum settings (or 80% max etc.)

Yes just stick with SATA based SSD (like 850 EVO) will do unless you have extra budget floating around and don't be fooled by "M.2 SSD" term, there is also M.2 SSD using legacy SATA like Samsung 850 EVO M.2 and its price is almost similar to the normal 2.5" SSD (speed also same, just form factor is different).

Speed wise is almost identical as they are using SATA 3 and is being limited by the speed of SATA 3, unless clearance is an issue, I don't see any reason to pick the M.2 over the 2.5".

If you transfer data between two 950 Pro then you will benefit from the speedy I/O specs (provided you aren't being bottlenecked by other I/O like RAM and system cache size), if you transfer from (or to) 950 Pro to 850 Evo (example), then you will experience slightly faster transfer speed in the first few seconds (thanks to system cache), then eventually it will drop to SATA 3 speed as the 850 Evo couldn't catch up the speed of 950 Pro and 950 Pro will have to wait for the data to finish copy to 850 Evo first before continue.

And for the performance in games, well it depends on the file block design of the game files, if they are broken into small pieces then the one with higher sequential 4K read will win the competition, and no doubt 950 Pro will win it in this comparison, same goes to all the other categories, but the problem is "is it worth the extra money for a shorter loading time (for like few seconds only?)?"

I am just telling the truth, price/performance ratio is always my top priority

Well I have 950 Pro 512G model, bought it last time during a sales, yes it is fast, but how much faster than a SATA 3 SSD? Hmm, for my usage (normal browsing, gaming etc), just few seconds. My desktop boots up just few seconds faster than my laptop with SATA SSD, not really worth my money if you ask me (but it's fine since I bought it at a low price)

Sequential read -> yes

Sequential write -> almost identical to SATA 3 speed

4K random read/write (small block of files) -> yes but only for high end 512G & 1T model

600P is an entry level NVMe PCIe SSD, it is not as fast as 950 Pro but it is a good step for other SSD vendors to start chopping down the price of NVMe PCIe SSD by following the step taken by Intel.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 520
Asus H110M-K - RM 253
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 229
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 203
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
CM Elite Power 350W - RM 126
Tecware F3 - RM 125

Total: RM 1675 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

i3 is sufficient, if you really need i5 then you might need to drop the SSD as the cheapest i5 costs RM 750+.

In some games, yes, but not all, those CPU demanding games will show CPU bottleneck symptoms.

You want to upgrade "hard disk, mobo, graphic card, psu and rams", how about processor (since you only mentioned to re-use current casing)?

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 902
Asus H110M-K - RM 253

Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Segotep Gank II - RM 179

Total: RM 3199 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

SSD is not included.

No, it depends on resolution, you get a higher ppi on smaller screen when resolution is the same, so the display and text are much clearer and sharper.

Bottleneck happens only when it cannot handle the amount of requests from other hardware, i5 6500 should be fine for most of the titles out there, if it really happens then you can just lower down the settings a bit to remove the burden of the CPU, that's one of the ways to handle CPU bottleneck, don't worry too much on the bottleneck issue, there isn't a standard hardware requirements for PC games (due to wide variety of hardware choices and game engine etc.) so just keep calm and game

Your 7950 should be able to handle 1080p medium settings, if you really want to upgrade, please look for at least GTX1060.

Most of the PC rig builders/shops do ship to East Malaysia, if you plan to save shipping cost, you can look for Idealtech, they provide free shipping for rig (3k and above) if I recall correctly.

i3 6100 + H110M mobo + 8GB DDR4 RAM + 1TB HDD + 500W (to prepare for future GPU) + casing will cost roughly 1.5k+.

You can checkout one of the builds listed above (the one with similar requirements as yours, i5 6500 + GTX1060 6GB), the price is picked from ETech's Lelong Store.

Triple fan = higher airflow = lower temperature, how much lower you can get? Not much, just few °C lower, go for bigger SSD is a better choice.

No need to upgrade the CPU platform (CPU + mobo + RAM), go for GPU upgrade instead, your i5 4430 is just 5 - 15% slower than the latest Skylake i5, not worth to spend your hard earned cash on it.

1k+ can get GTX1060 6GB already, big upgrade from your current GTX650Ti (at least 2.5x)

Those CPU demanding titles will show bottleneck symptoms, this is unavoidable, just lower down those CPU-related settings in games to reduce the workload of CPU to minimize the bottleneck issue, in overall, you are still good for GTX1060, don't worry so much.

There is only like ~10% of the titles in the market are known to be hammering down all the i5 model, like the recently released Watch Dogs 2, the frame rate output is lower in an i5 rig compared to an i7 rig in this game.

1. 6600K has higher base clock speed (3.5G vs 6500's 3.2G) and is meant for overclocking (K CPU), performance difference on stock speed is not that huge, if both are running at full speed, 6600K is estimated to lead the 6500 by less than 10%, you need a Z170 mobo to overclock the 6600K, this will increase the total cost of the rig.

2. Either one is fine, both have pros and cons, just grab whichever you like (according to features offered, color scheme etc.)

3. No need, they can work with other brands just fine.

4. In overall, the specs are completely enough for 1080p60 gaming, the settings you can run is depends on the optimization of the games, if the games are well optimized and not hardware hungry then 60 FPS on high/ultra settings should be easy to achieve. Just lower down the settings if you aren't getting the frame rates that you are looking to get. Adobe software is good to go also, if you want to reduce the total rendering time then you can consider to upgrade to i7 6700 and 16GB RAM.

Avoid RAM upgrade if you plan to upgrade your CPU platform in the future as they are going to use DDR4 RAM instead of DDR3 RAM, so it is just a waste to spend money in a dead DDR3 RAM. If I were you, I will save the RM 500 for next big upgrade, everything looks fine here and the only thing that I will upgrade for now is the HDD if storage isn't enough.

Which Xeon model (if it is better than G4400/i3 then you can consider to stick with your current CPU platform)? 1.5k can barely build a decent PC especially when you plan to run BF1 which is quite CPU and GPU demanding.

It seems GTX1060 with i3/i5/i7 CPU bottleneck issue has been the most frequently asked question in this thread now

As always, to reduce bottleneck, you are advised to go for the best CPU that you can get with your budget, so no doubt that i5 is a much better pick than i3 to reduce the chances of getting a CPU bottleneck.

Those CPU demanding titles will show CPU bottleneck symptoms (doesn't matter which model, if the game/GPU requests resources faster than what the CPU can feed it then bottleneck will occur), different games have different hardware requirements, some will work fine on dual core i3 CPU, but some won't.

If you want to reduce the total cost, get a non-overclockable CPU setup instead, the gain from overclocking your CPU is not huge and not worth to spend extra bucks on the equipment needed (Z170 + AIO liquid CPU cooler + high performance RAM etc.).

CS:GO loves high single core clock so yes, i3 6100's 3.7GHz will definitely work well in CS:GO.

Yes, only 0.1GHz lower than 6100, but the iGPU (HD510) of 6098P is much weaker than 6100's HD530, since you got a dedicated GPU so this won't be an issue.
