Looks ok to me.

Too early to "judge" due to many external factors that can be contributed to the price of the hardware, MYR status, item status etc.

But my raw guess would be around 2.3k (based on current pricing and the 2nd hand market pricing).

what?! only 2.3k
for real?! damn.. alright then i better keep this pc. originalyl thought of reselling it for mobile workstation.

Just look at used GTX970 price now, it is around RM 900, thanks to GTX1060, next year should be even lower when warranty is up, RM 800 perhaps?

As for the CPU, Kaby Lake is due soon, even though Haswell Xeon is still a competitive CPU but Intel CPU never have a big gap in terms of pricing between old and new CPU, new one is selling at the same price of old one so you can imagine what's gonna happen to used unit then, those sellers who want to clear the old CPU stock will try to "throw" price, but yea this rarely happens in Malaysia though

My suggestion is to keep it unless you want high portability, which you can swap to mITX (SFF) build so you can carry around, if you prefer all-in-one, then laptop/mobile device is still a better choice.

Details with price? And shops which you got those?

Throw price rarely happen in open world business unless its from b2b.

hi all please advice. have an aging pc with below spec

PROC: I3 4150
MOBO:ASUS H81 MK
RAM:KINGSTON 8GB
GC:SAPPHIRE R9 270
PSU: CM 550W

USAGE : Mild gaming

preferences : none

budget : below 1k

question: upgrade or scarp?any salvageable items?

The cheapest Dell Inspiron 7559 is the one with i5 6300HQ + GTX960M + 8GB RAM?

If yes then the desktop equivalent specs would be i5 6400 + GTX750Ti + 8GB RAM which can be built around 2k, monitor not included yet, please prepare some money for it, same goes to keyboard/mouse/speaker.

What games you play?

not so choosy of games,but i expect any latest games can run on medium setting.

Alright, 1k budget cannot do much, it's either CPU or GPU upgrade.

But I would go for GPU upgrade instead (GPU > all in gaming), RX470 4GB/GTX1060 3GB is below 1k now, when you have more funds later, upgrade the CPU to at least i5 when bottleneck starts to show up.

thanks! will go for that option

Eh guys I want to ask can Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming fits the Corsair Air 240? From the measurement seems able to fit but the card is quite long...hmm

GPU is the problem, get a better one.

Do you have any radiator installed at front? If no then it will fit, if yes then you need to measure the thickness of the radiator and the fans attached on it (pull only or pull and push).

No radiator I guess. Just normal air cooling set up. I am afraid the length of the GPU is too long til cannot fit although the spec sheets say can

Don't worry then, GTX1070 G1 Gaming's length is just 280mm, I had tried putting GTX970 G1 Gaming (299mm), it fitted nicely even with a radiator installed in front with two 120mm casing fans.

What you need to worry is the width, Air 240 doesn't have the width clearance needed by many cards out there, only G1 Gaming, FE cards (possibly more) are able to fit if you want to close the side window panel.
