Casing is not listed in the hardware to reuse list, so you need a new casing too?

Any MOBO around 600-700 you'd recommend for this setup? Thanks.

And is the i7 necessary or will I be better to just pick the i5 6600k and spend the extra money on a good mobo

Since you aren't going to get an overclockable setup, the i7 6700 will be a better pick than i5 6600K in this case.

You can consider these options if you want to stick with high speed RAM (between RM 600 - RM 700):
1. MSI Z170A Gaming Pro
2. Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
3. Gigabyte Z170-HD3P
4. Asus Z170-K

My revised setup. Is the Hydro H60 necessary for this setup?


Intel Core i7 6600 - RM1295

Corsair Hydro H60 - RM309

Gigabyte Z170x- Gaming 5 ATX - RM 879

Gskills RipJawsV Black 2x8gb DDR4 2800mhz (CL16) - RM 499

Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce OC 8gb ddr5 - RM 1999

Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409

Phanteks Enthoo Pro - RM 435

Samsung 850 EVO 120gb SSD - RM 279

WD 1tb Caviar Black 7200 RPM - RM349

ASUS 27" MX27AQ 2560x1440/5ms/DP/HDMI/MHL/Audio @ 60hz - RM 2259



Total: RM 8712

Yup

Not necessary.

I will go for this.

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1472
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura - RM 749
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz RAM - RM 418
Corsair Hydro H100i V2 - RM 508
Tecware Alpha - RM 219

Total: RM 3366 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Alright, thanks! I was actually looking at the Pro Gaming board too.

Hi I'm looking to get a 250gb ssd as boot/programme drive to speed up my rig.

What is the best bang for the buck SSD in the 250gb range?
Usually this will be the cheapest 250gb ssd or close to same price but with higher performance.

Kingston SSDNow UV400 (~RM 280)

Samsung 750 EVO (~RM 300+)

Need some recommendations from tech PC gurus here.

I'm planing to built my PC rig soon by early November. The primary usage of the rig will be heavy video editing, video rendering and video conversion (no Maya 3D stuff) just things like Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Illustrator etc. and some occasional web surfing. Will be used for heavy multitasking video and visual based editing tasks not gaming or 3D rendering.

Budget is RM3.5K however I am willing to stretch the budget a bit more if absolutely necessary. My criteria are:

CPU: Skylake i7 processor

Mobo: Z170 chipset, preferably ASUS or MSI brand, at least one USB 3.1 or USB Type-C port

Memory: Minimum 12GB DDR4, any brand

Graphic: Any card as long it's competent for video editing tasks, preferably ASUS, MSI or Zotec brand

Storage: Any HDD, don't mind the size

Optical Drive: Not needed

PSU: Any decent PSU model that can support all of the above components

Case: Any casing, preferably with easy access to the case USB ports

Operating System: Not needed, already have a genuine Windows 10 license ready

Mouse, keyboard, monitor and speakers are not needed. Already have all of those.

Possible to build RM1000-RM1200 spec? No monitor or peripherals needed. Reason; to play Dota2. TQ

As you are getting a non-K CPU, an AIO is really not necessary. Instead, get a good air cooler eg Cryorig, Noctua. There will be no risk of leakage and/or pump failure

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1314
Asus Z170-K - RM 619
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 - RM 418
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 Single Fan - RM 459
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 225
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Tecware Alpha - RM 219

Total: RM 3443 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

thanks for the recommendation, i think i'll need top up some funds for the 6gb variant
any other monitor besides benq at this price range?

Need a new rig recommendation or the used rig that you've PM'ed yesterday will do?

If you want to stick with 24" then another choice would be Acer K242HL.

Need some suggestion.
[Budget]500-1500

[Purpose]Looping single Full HD video non-stop on two monitor (DVI and HDMI)

[Hardwares that will be re-use]Nope

[Monitor resolution] Must support 1920x1080, 1 unit enough

[Games & softwares that use frequently] KMPlayer

[Personal preferences]Cheap but reliable

[Location]KL

If using SSD for videp playing will minimize it lifespan?

SSD lifespan will decrease gradually overtime, but looping video doesn't require the use of SSD if you are low on budget, even a 4K video will still load fine on a 7,200 RPM HDD.

So you need a PC that can do this simple looping task and 1 FHD monitor?

yes

What monitor size are you looking to get?
