Use the stock cooler 1st, if you're not happy with the temp only you get an aftermarket cooler. Those money you can use to add another 8gb of ram

Yea can remove the aftermarket CPU cooler for now, add only if temperature is not within your control, but it rarely happens though (for locked CPU) unless you are in a sauna room

Downgrade the mobo to H170-HD3 and use the extra money to get a better PSU like Seasonic M12II EVO/Superflower Leadex Silver/Gold.

And it is not worth pumping money to get the M.2 version of 850 unless you are on a disk drive clearance limitation.

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 720
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 161
Palit GTX950 2GB GDDR5 StormX - RM 609
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 166
Tecware F3 - RM 125
AOC E2180SWDN - RM 329

Total: RM 2595 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Another option would be i3 + RX460 4GB/GTX960 (more GPU oriented).

Ok thank you sifu terence and magnificM,
Will take out first the cooler and downgrade mobo

I am going to build my second PC rig for mainly-photography/video editing/rendering and 2nd gaming (rise of tomb raider) purpose by next month or two.

I am in dilemma between i7 5820k vs i7 6700k. Could anyone advise is there any difference in real world for 6core vs 4core processor?

Motherboard no idea. Might do light over clock(1 button over clock)
My ram is either 2 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000mhz or 2 x 8gb G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4
PSU -thinking of EVGA 750 G2 or any alternative suggestion? I prefer full modular PSU.
GPU would be gtx 1070 or 1080 depending on their price
CPU cooler should be Phanteks PH-TC14PE (or any other suggestions?)
Casing should be either Phanteks Enthoo pro or Phanteks Enthoo pro m. (Can it fit my gear?)
I would use existing ssd and hard-disk.

Did I miss anything and is there any better suggestion for my rig?

Just wanna update my final decision for my PC rig.

OS- Window 10 Pro
CPU- Intel 6700k
CPU cooler- Cryorig R1 Ultimate
Motherboard- Asus Z170 A/R
Ram- 2 x 8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE® LED Series DDR4 3200Mhz
PSU- EVGA 750 G2
GPU- Asus Rog Strix 1070 OC
Casing- NZXT H440 V2.0
Harddisk- Toshiba 6TB 7200rpm
SSD- Sandisk 1TB plus
Monitor- Dell U2713H
Speaker- Microlab Solo 8C

So far it working quite well.

The only two thing I don't like is the casing screws is pretty tight to screw in and screw out and I can hear the fan spinning even thought the casing come with sound damper foam. Other than that, I am extremely happy.

*PS- NVIDIA GTX 1070 or 1080 can redeem GEAR of WAR 4 for limited period. Great series game that you should not miss.

Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestion for a rig for my dad. He's going to use it for editing,browsing,home entertainment and maybe some gaming.

Is it possible to fit i7 proc+rx480/gtx1060 with this budget? I know its going to be overkill for his use, but he wants his pc to be as current as possible so that dont need to upgrade for long time he said.


[Budget] RM3500-4000

[Purpose] Photo, video editing, gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] will reuse old hdd.

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080, ips if possible

[personal preferences] ssd, i7+gtx1060/rx480(if possible)

Well, the specs is a bit overkill and the rig probably won't be able to fully utilize its potential. Remove the SSD to keep below your budget.

Thank you for the suggestion. After double checking with him, he said no problem to add budget. So I came up with the following:

KINGSTON HYPERX FURY 16GB DDR4 2133MHZ - RM332.00
Seasonic S12II-620 620W 80PLUS BRONZE Power Supply - RM303.00
DELL 21.5” S2216H FULL HD LED MONITOR - RM499.00
MSI RADEON RX 480 ARMOR 8G OC GDDR5 256BIT PCI-E - RM1,299.00
GIGABYTE GA-H170-HD3 SOCKET 1151 MAINBOARD - RM446.00
Asus 24X Green Power DVD Writer(DRW-24D3ST) - RM69.00
SAMSUNG 2.5” 750 EVO 250GB SOLID STATE DRIVE - RM315.00
INTEL SKYLAKE CORE I7-6700 PROCESSOR - RM1,305.00
TECWARE ALPHA ATX MID TOWER GAMING CASE - RM199.00

Is this ok? Also, can you advice in terms of RX480 vs GTX1060? which one is better since its at the same price point.


Attached thumbnail(s)

If only light gaming is involved then either one is fine.

If your dad is going for serious triple A titles gaming, then GTX1060 will run better in DX11/OpenGL games while RX480 excels in DX12/Vulkan titles, so far most of the games in the market are still running on older DX11 API so GTX1060 will pull ahead of RX480 in most of the benchmarks. What you get from RX480 is it is more "future proof", the extra 2GB VRAM and DX12/Vulkan performance (even though there are still many unsolved mysteries in DX12 ).

Both have pros and cons, I suggest you to go for the cheaper one if no serious/heavy gaming is involved.

Budget] MYR4500

[Purpose] Gaming, engr software, movie and music.


[Hardwares that will be re-use] Only keyboard&mouse

[Monitor resolution] between 24-26 ( prefer borderless& vivid colour over ridonkculous high refresh rate) recommendations would be nice =D

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Gaming: Csgo,Dota, OW, GtaV, etc
Engineering software:autocad, solidwork

[Personal preferences] any casing will do. Looking for speaker with good sound quality. Recommendations would be nice too =)

THNKS IN ADVANCE

[personal preferences] if possible gtx1060(6gb), techview price

and pls give suggestion for monitor if i gonna stretch that budget.is techview store good? tyvm in advanced

Hi, just want to ask regrading PSU. Should I but FSP Hexa+ 550 or Corsair VS 550. Price is about the same. But warranty is 1 and 3 year, respectively. Thank you

FSP Hexa+ is actually 2Y warranty. Consider the cheapest one between the two

Speaker with good sound quality, well this is a hard question for me as I am a headphone user, I will let it to others to recommend (if there is any) and leave some budget for it.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1305
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 379
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 161
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 AMP! - RM 1289
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
Acer R241Y - RM 620

Total: RM 4350 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

RM 150 left for speaker, SSD can be added if you decide not to get speaker (or just a cheap USB 2.0 speaker) with the rest of the budget.

How much can you stretch? If it is around RM 500 then the choices will be BenQ GW2470H (VA)/Acer R221Q (IPS) etc.

Techview physical shop doesn't look like a normal PC shop, in fact they are more like an office, you need to knock the door (if it is closed) and their stuff will open for you. Overall the price and service offered by them are ok (at least for me), check the review online for more info.
