Hi, need help to suggest for custom rig

[Budget] MYR3000

[Purpose] Wow: Legion

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Only headset

[Monitor resolution] 21

[Games & softwares that use frequently] WOW

[Personal preferences] White casing

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 707
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 249
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 131
Sapphire RX460 4GB GDDR5 Nitro - RM 689
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 179
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
Tecware Alpha White - RM 199
BenQ GW2270H - RM 397
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 65

Total: RM 3030 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Would suggest more GPU horse power. Cut the SSD and go for RX470 if the price is right instead. WoW increased the GPU requirements.

This post has been edited by TristanX: Aug 6 2016, 04:33 PM

Sadly the RX470 8GB costs RM 1139 here

If can wait, then wait for 4GB version, Sapphire Nitro RM 989 and PowerColor Devil Red RM 899, but still need some top up to the initial budget for it.

Hopefully we'll see that. My GTX970 running at Level 7 out of 10 graphic settings on Patch 7.0.3.

Intel Core i5 6402P never sell already

I bought the techware alpha white at 189. Price need to update

This post has been edited by chubbyqq: Aug 6 2016, 09:39 PM

Probably Techview is out of stock only, I still can find it at Lowyat Plaza today.

And the case is having different price for each color, you might have bought the black color at RM 189, price is taken from their lelong store (it stated RM 189 for black and RM 199 for white and grey), for bundle purchase discount and latest price, buyers are encouraged to ask for quotation from the sellers, this is just a recommendation thread after all.

Settings Level 7 (10 max). 4X AA at 1920x1080 gets you 30ish FPS at Garrison with GTX970. What do you think?

Hey guys, need some help, finally decided to get a new pc!
I have a case and 750w cooler master PS.
(Currently using an old LG 23" monitor. Might add another 23" just for the lulz)

this is the list that techview suggested me.
comments are much appreciated.
RM 4420
Intel I5-6600
Gigabyte H170-D3HP
Corsair 32GB 2133 D4
Zotac GTX 1070 reference

thoughts? comments?

The thing is I don't really play graphic intensive games, like dota 2, csgo, gonna get overwatch.... I enjoy online games alot as you can see.

Do recommend and comment and stuffz

32GB RAM for those games and tasks? Too much bro

If you don't play graphics demanding games, you can save money by getting GTX1060/RX480 (or even RX470).

Hi,

I have a PC with Intel i5-3470, 8gb RAM, 500GB 7200rpm HDisk, and Nvidia Geforce 210 GCard. I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 7700 OC edition which I can get for RM200 from a friend.

Is the upgrade worth it? BTW, I only play Dota 2 and CSGO.

Another thing, my current Power Supply is Max Power 500W, Pure Power 250W. If I go through this upgrade, do I need to change my Power Supply to a higher one?

Thanks

Yeah, maybe I bought everything from their store they gave me discount but the 6402 they told me they won't restock for that anymore hmm

Hi, I want to help my friend build his first custom PC but I'm not sure whats the best deal lately so I'm going to ask here

[B][Budget] 2k-2.5k

[Purpose] Dota 2 and CS:GO

[Monitor resolution]1080p (reuse)

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2 and CS:GO

[Personal preferences] Quality>brands

is the cpu enough to drive the graphic card and games? maybe ill try some more graphic intensive games.

how's the price btw

Which 7700? 7700 is a series which consists of 7730, 7750, 7770 and 7790.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 773
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 249
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 131
Sapphire RX460 4GB GDDR5 Nitro - RM 689
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
Tecware Alpha - RM 189

Total: RM 2445 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Maybe you can try to state your budget so I can give you or compare my build with their build.

My budget is 4-5k. of course lower better. again dont need powersupply and case.

XFX Radeon 7770 OC 1gb 128bit

450W or better recommended for HD7770. Your PSU is 250W. Continuous wattage is the one you will be looking at, not max or peak wattage.

So do you think going from geforce 210 to radeon HD 7770 is a worthwhile upgrade for rm200?

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 835
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 450
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 262
Palit GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Dual Fan - RM 1249
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 179
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD - RM 309

Total: RM 3284 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

This build is a good starting point for high end 1080p gaming, it can handle graphics demanding games without any major issue too on 1080p 60Hz (GTX980 equivalent), I don't see the need to go for GTX1070 when you mostly run Dota 2, CS:GO and other online games.

You didn't mention your casing form factor so I assume it is ATX size and is able to fit the above components.

Yup, its a big jump. Even your built-in GPU is better than G210. What is your monitor resolution?

Yup. They cater for latest hardware now. Hopefully when WoW: Legion launches, there is driver optimization.

Hello there, I am new here and am from Seremban N9. Am looking build a rig that is mainly for gaming. Would like to of course get the best prices of each parts. Will also plan to overclock in the future and sli or xfire but for now a single VGA will do and the VGA Should be in the GTX 1070 series. Please take in to consideration of our ridiculous weather here in msia and if those parts will be largely affected by it. Also willing to travel to the shop to buy the parts and the dates i will be going around to purchase the parts would be 26/8 and 27/8. Also if there are any combo offers, not full rig combos would be great to include those in too and also any freebies

Parts Not needed:
1) Casing CM 690 Series
2) HDD
3) Softwares
4) Monitor
5) No special coolers needed for now


Important Part to include would be a SSD the lowest possible and cheapest as well just to add the windows in to it and certain important software.

Budget 4-(5k+-) <<<< If can go less would be nice



[B]PS: Would love if some one can explain why you chose those parts[/B]

I use a 24in monitor on 1920x1080 res

HD7770 should be fine for CS:GO and DOTA 2.

Price might change by the time you are ready to purchase the items so the price that I am going to list down is based on today's rate taken from the seller.

Intel Core i7 6700K - RM 1461
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - RM 699
Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz RAM - RM 423
Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Jetstream - RM 1999
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 255
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409

Total: RM 5246 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

OC build isn't cheap to build and the performance/price ratio is bad when it comes to gaming, most of the games do not show any significant performance bump in terms of FPS.

I don't include a cooler yet, but you need to grab a cheap stock cooler (around RM 50) because Skylake K CPU doesn't come with stock cooler.

You can save at least 1k by going for non-OC build (more budget friendly).

Tks so much for the feedback, What is your take on the Non-OC build?

How about the core shaving that part off and instead using i5 6600k
And also can i reduce the DDR4 rams to a slightly less pricy one

The amd rx 460 exist or is it preorder?

If I were to go for OC build, I won't take 6600K considering DX12 and Vulkan have started to become mature now in games (slowly) and should become the major API for all the upcoming games in next 3 years, this is where the 6700K starts to shine thanks to its multicore. DX12 and Vulkan aim to take advantage of the multicore of the CPU and reduce the CPU overhead for better graphics output performance.

It is just like you have 4 legs (i5) vs 8 legs (i7), no matter how much steroid (OC) you put in 4 legs, it is still very hard to beat the 8 legs, either in speed or efficiency, but then if you cannot fork out extra for the 8 legs (i7), stick with 4 legs (i5), it will work too, regardless of K or non-K, K gives you extra ability to OC it when needed (after several years when Skylake CPU starts to show some bottleneck symptoms like 1st and 2nd gen Intel CPU now).

RAM can be downgraded to normal one but Skylake does show performance improvements when pairing with high speed RAM, this is normally not the case during DDR3 era, but DDR4, they are

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1311
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290
Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Jetstream - RM 1999
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 255
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409

Total: RM 4710 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Stock reached Malaysia last week, if it hasn't sold out yet then you can get it on the spot.

Please consult Techview for stock availability.

in that case issit i7 6800k would be more benefit for DX12 for gaming itself?

So far all the available DX12 games in the market don't show any significant improvement when going from 6700K to 6800K, the performance is mostly same or just 1 to 2 FPS difference only, so 6700K is the max you should spend on currently, focus more on the GPU instead.

Faster cores matter more than more cores currently, still, provided the games have all the resources it needs from the system.

goldfries Can you please pin this thread?

Thanks.

hi sifu,
Just want to ask those gaming rigs from Techview,etc are good? as I see those 2k~3k setup is around my budget too.

Thanks and Regards

Hello bro, I changed my mind, will go for Palit GTX 750 Storm now.

So if I buy the GTX 750 card, will this PSU be able to handle it?

http://www.lazada.com.my/avf-ps550-power-s...0w-3186387.html
(AVF PS550-F12R)

Thanks

It depends on your requirements, some people prefer to max out the GPU instead of bundling the rig with SSD (which doesn't help in improving the FPS), some prefer AMD/Nvidia card, some prefer to have better/nice looking casing, you can always customize it yourself, not necessary need to follow the bundle.

Hi guys

I have asked earlier for mitx build for office use. Local shops only sell this mobo

Msi h110m pro vh
Msi b150m bazooka

Is this compatible for mitx build? Casing used is cm130

Nope. That is another BS PSU. The most it can handle is around 250W continuous. Nvidia recommends 300W or better for GTX 750.

Both aren't mITX, they are mATX, so it is not compatible with CM Elite 130 case.

Then how about this one?

http://www.lazada.com.my/avf-power-supply-...0w-1477917.html
(AVF extreme power 650W)

Avoid AVF PSU if possible, go for FSP Hexa+ 400/450W, around RM 150.

Getting a cheap and unreliable PSU = put your PC at risk.

So in my case, getting a reliable 400W PSU from reputable PSU suppliers is good enough?

True power 350 - 400W is enough

Yes, 350-400W is more than enough.

Thanks for recommendation. for this rig, what is my options to upgrade next time if AAA game required better GPU?

Intel Core i3 6098P - RM 437
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 249
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 131
Sapphire RX460 4GB GDDR5 Nitro - RM 689
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189
Tecware F3 - RM 129

Total: RM 2039 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

If the games requires better GPU then surely go for a more powerful GPU but at the same time, you still have to check if the GPU that you are going to get will be bottlenecked by the CPU or not (i3 in this case).

Just curious about one thing. I've read and seen benchmark which claims that Skylake improve performance with higher speed ram as you said, but most board I see (like one you shown) only lists 2133MHz speed.

http://www.gigabyte.de/products/product-pa...spx?pid=5484#sp

Does it means need to OC so that the board can read let's say 3000MHz ?

Only Z170 mobo allows RAM overclocking, H110/B150/H170 will have the RAM set at base clock of DDR4 (2133MHz) and you cannot overclock it manually.

Ok. Thx.

Thanks

So to allow room for future expansion, so I better change to better CPU such as Intel Core i5 6500 or greater to cater for more powerful GPU later on when budget allow again?

Yep

Tks so much man appreciate the explanation .

Hi guys, plan to upgrade my PC by adding a SSD & Ram, budget around Rm500..any idea which SSD & Ram should I get (compatibility wise)?

My current PC spec:

I5 4570
Gigabyte H87-D3H
Team Elite 4gb ram
Zotac 950
FSP 500W
500GB & 1 TB HDD

Here's what I plan to get, wonder if it's compatible with my Mobo..

1. Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 120GB SSD
2. Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb DDR3-1866 or should i just get the 1600 version, price not much difference...

Thank you.

To avoid compatibility issue, try to but the exact same RAM module as mix and match RAM doesn't always guarantee they will work together, since you are going to get a 8GB RAM, if the 4GB doesn't accept the new 8GB, then just drop the 4GB, if they accept each other, you will have 12GB RAM in total.

Pick the one with 1600MHz, your mobo cannot utilize 1866MHz even if you get the 1866MHz due to chipset limitation. You still can pick 1866MHz, just the mobo will downclock the speed to 1600MHz automatically, if your old 4GB RAM is running at 1333MHz, the new RAM will go down further to 1333MHz as well in most of the cases.

The SSD you picked is SATA SSD, just make sure you have a free SATA slot on your mobo and you are good to go. Other cheap alternatives are Kingston UV400 & HyperX Fury & 750 EVO etc.

Thanks for your suggestion, fyi, I will remove the 4gb ram & replace it with the 8gb ram, will have a look at the SSDs you suggested.

Heya guys, I'm back again for a build recommendations. This time for a whole rig. Here goes;

[Budget] RM5k, can add a bit more if needed.

[Purpose] Gaming. Wish to upgrade to fhd 144hz soon. Maybe 4k in the future.

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Still be using current monitor and peripherals.

[Monitor resolution] FHD60Hz for now, wish to upgrade soonish.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] AAA games (e.g Witcher 3, Rise of Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, FFXIV etc.)

[Personal preferences] intel cpu and nvidia gpu preferable.

[Location] Penang

Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers.

You can remove the SSD or downgrade to 120GB SSD/8GB RAM one to reduce the total cost.

Case selection is very subjective, you can go with your own preferences, just have to make sure the components (especially mobo & GPU) are compatible.

Thanks man. I'll start hunting for the parts. Just in case I can't find the parts here at my place, I wonder if Idealtech or Etech (assuming they have the parts) do delivery? Also, Any significant difference between i7 6700 and i5 6600 in gaming? If the performance is not much of difference, could i switch out to i5 6600? Would save me 300 bucks there heheh

Yes, they do have delivery/courier service.

Currently most of the DX11/OpenCL games are still based on the performance of single core (single threaded operation), only few titles are utilizing the extra cores/threads of i7, namely Fallout 4, Hitman 2016 and most of the RTS games (CPU demanding) etc.

I suggested i7 mainly to reduce the CPU bottleneck as much as possible (even i5 can carry on but if you have sneaky background operation ongoing, it hurts the FPS) and more future proof for upcoming DX12/Vulkan titles (less CPU overhead, more cores utilization for better performance).

You can switch to i5, i5 6500 carries the best price/performance ratio among all the i5 models available in Skylake CPU series.

Hi Sifu,
Please pardon me if this side track. Most of newest games are on Windows 7 or 8...just wonder which OS I should purchase to cater for future demand of upcoming new title?

Thanks and Regards

Hi Expert,

I would like to assemble one new desktop with the following specification, in which I would like to have your further recommendation to "improve" the specification:

[Budget] RM 5500 to RM 6000
[Purpose] Main purpose is not for game, but for enterprise software that running on at least 32GB RAM above (now I would like to have 64GB RAM)
[Hardware that will be re-used] Monitor SAMSUNG LED 23.5" S24SF350FHE
[Monitor resolution] 1920 x 1080 (or above)
[Games & software that use frequently] Enterprise software running one 64GB RAM (I will run on Windows 7 Professional)
[Personal preferences] N/A
[Location] KL, Lowyat


============== I have the following recommendation, Kindly comment, and suggest any other hardware to be recommended:

I7 6800K 3.4GHz - RM1900++
ASUS X99A - RM1400++
16GB RAM DDR4 2133MHz x 4 pieces = RM1110++

128GB SSD Sandisk Z400 - RM210
512GB Transcend SSD 370s - RM650

Cooler Master K282 - RM200
Cooler Master Elite V2 460w PSU - RM179

TOTAL ... around RM5650

This post has been edited by wfwong: Aug 9 2016, 11:38 PM

Don't worry, Windows 10 has started to become mainstream now and games will support it (in fact old titles are running fine on Windows 10 as well), you get DX12 support in Windows 10 too.

i7 6800K doesn't come with stock cooler because Intel assumes you gonna need to overclock it when you go for X99 platform, so you need to get a cooler for it, if you are planning to overclock the CPU, get a decent cooler for better heat dissipation.

Since you didn't mention the enterprise software that you are going to use, so I cannot determine if more cores > clock speed of single core is better in your case. If the software you use do take advantage of the multicore of the CPU then you can go for Xeon E5 2620 v4 (8C16T) instead of i7 6800K and vice versa, price is about the same.

Hi sifus im wondering if gtx 960 can play AAA titles at 60+ fps on high settings... thinking about buying that particular card

Some can some cannot.

Asked this question before about upgrading the default TIME router (ZTE H298N).

8 users will be sharing the internet (100Mbps) in a condo unit. Gaming and video streaming at the same time with the default router is terrible and the ping will jump to 2000ms++.


Got these 3 routers in mind. Just want to know if paying more will get significant better results in gaming?

Signal strength is important as well as there is one room at the corner (approximately 15 meter from the default router) has trouble getting good download speed using the default router (less than 10 Mbps).

1. TP-Link Archer C7 (RM 400+)
2. Asus AC68U (RM 800+)
3. Asus AC87U (RM 1200+)


From the reviews I read, Asus router has much better user interface and better in dividing bandwidth across devices. Is this true?

This post has been edited by ThE-1cY: Aug 10 2016, 05:54 PM

You just missed the cheap AC68U's alternative, the Huawei WS880

Asus Merlin firmware is nicer than other firmware (other brands), many features are being offered as well including games boost mode, adaptive QoS which you can use to prioritize the traffic to your games, I feel like banging the wall every time I see the green and simple interface of TP-LINK router, too get used Asus already

C7 is able to handle 8 devices at the same time but might have problem when there is a lot of traffics to handle because the latest V2 only comes with a single core CPU. AC68U carries a dual core CPU (800MHz) and is having the similar chipset with the one in WS880 which only costs RM 199 few weeks ago. Another option would be C9, around RM 700 and is even faster than AC68U (1GHz dual core AC 1900).

Changing the router will not guarantee to have significant improvement to gaming as there are many factors that can contribute to bad latency, WiFi band/interference/bandwidth hogger/ISP etc. If you have tested the latency when using LAN cable and found no issue then high chance it can be solved by getting a high end router.

with some tweak at the settings, yes you can, mine is set at ultra and high quality where it gives average 48-52 fps

I read abit on the Huawei WS880 thread. It does not have external antennas and I'm not sure if this will affect performance. It is selling for RM299 now...

Guess I will be getting an Asus brand router due to the better interface and the adaptive QoS which looks really simple to use. Does adaptive QoS really work by putting gaming at the highest priority?

Did some research on the internet that there is an actually a C1 revision of Asus AC68U which has 1GHz processor instead of 800MHz. Can we get this in Malaysia?

Btw, what router are you using?

This post has been edited by ThE-1cY: Aug 11 2016, 12:05 AM

Hi guys;

I am planning to get a new desktop, and currently is checking on various motherboards.

Some have USB 3.1 port (Type-C), while others have SATA Express; which one is more important or useful?

Also; currently Palit GTX1070 Dual Fan 8G GDDR5 is the cheapest gtx 1070. I'm interested but can't find any major reviews on it; is it quiet enough during gaming? how about thermal performance?

This post has been edited by retsnom: Aug 11 2016, 12:16 AM

It has 6 internal antennas, so far the review from WS880 thread is quite positive, it is a cheap alternative with the same chipset that is shipped with AC68U, I don't think anyone would complain too much

I rarely play any online games so I cannot guarantee the adaptive QoS will work well for all situations, just ensure that you set a range of bandwidth which is dedicated for gaming port then you are good to go.

You need to check with local store for C1 revision stock availability, some stores are still keeping the old stock and they will try to clear their old stock first, just make sure you are allowed to check the revision number if you were to buy one. Usually the sticker which contains the barcode and stuffs will have the revision number written on it, if not please check the specifications printed on the box.

I am using Asus RT-AC3200 currently.

Type C is more important to me, smartphones (Nexus 6P/5X, Note 7, Mi5 etc) have started to use type C port while SATA Express is unlucky to have short lifespan due to the takeover from M.2, it is very hard to find anything new with SATA Express port nowadays, people and manufacturers prefer M.2 interface for their SSD product (either SATA or PCIe). But you can get a mobo with these two features included if you want.

As you said, no review online for the dual fan model so it is very hard to us to determine the noise level and temperature of the card too, try to find someone with the card in Nvidia GPU thread in Hardware Club subforum. If you aren't sitting too close to your rig then no need to worry about the noise, the sound of the games can fully cover the sound of the GPU already

Considering the FE blower cooler still able to survive in Malaysia, I guess the Palit dual fan version will work fine too, I am using Zotac AMP version which is also a dual fan model, the temperature is fine and hardly go over 70°C except when I run benchmark tools on it.

1) So if i plug in smartphone or tablet, i could transfer files faster on usb 3.1 compared to 3.0?

2)Could usb 3.1 also charge up mobile devices faster?

3)I always use wireless internet connection, so when selecting a motherboard, mobo's LAN chipset such as Realtek/Killer/Intel GBe LAN doesn't matter right?

If the USB Type C port on the phone itself is USB 2.0 (like Nexus 6P and 5X) then it will follow USB 2.0 Type C standard speed and vice versa.

USB 3.0 and 3.1 carry the same power 4.5W (5V, 0.9A) so charging speed will be the same (for non Type C port), what matters the most is the specification of the USB Type C port (devices and the connectors), there are few revisions already since the launch of USB Type C and the basic 1.0 and 1.1 can output 3A (5V) without the aid of USB PD, this is commonly used on most of the smartphones. PD stands for Power Delivery and it is required for Type C 2.0 standard, both devices exchange the info via the connector's pin and the correct configurations will be applied based on the power acceptance level of the devices (up to 20V 5A) to prevent any excessive power delivery which might cause permanent damage.

Yes, if you use WiFi only, then LAN doesn't really matter that much, but Intel LAN is more preferred for LAN users.

Any good mini ITX casing and motherboard(H110) recommendations?

If you can state a budget range then it will be easier for me to recommend

Sri Computer @LYP was trying to clear the stock of this WS880 router few weeks ago at RM 199 only, someone spotted it, bought it and posted in Networking subforum and Kopitiam, then it created a mass stock "sapu" madness.

It has the similar chipset as the one in Asus AC68U, definitely a steal for such pricing, it makes Asus router looks so overpriced, well in fact it is

27" 1080p monitor costs at least RM 750 while Z623 costs RM 600+, are you sure you gonna get them with your budget? You have to sacrifice a lot on the components/hardware if you really go for this path.

I suggest you to get a 24" 1080p monitor + cheap 2.1 speakers first and spend the rest of the budget on the components of the rig.

i help my friend build the pc, he said he want that item, agree with u 27inch pricey. how about replace 27 to 24 inch. but remain the speacker

My current PC spec:

CPU: Core i5 4460
Motherboard: Asus H97 Pro Gamer
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master V6GT
RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB
GPU: Leadtek 980 Hurricance OC
PSU: Cooler Master 750 Watt
SSD: Kingston Hyper 3K 240GB
HDD: Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM
Monitor: Dell 2740L


Here's what I plan to get, wonder if it's compatible with my current spec.

1. Palit GameRock Palit GTX1080(SRP RM2999) (cheapest i can get on the market now)
2. Monitor that support up to 4K 60Hertz(Need some advice on which brand -24" or 27" will do)

Will it bottleneck if using same processor & mobo?

for casing, any good one you know that's with handle? well, if too expensive then i would probably get cm elite 110, just saying

for motherboard, if i am going to use integrated graphics, i would want higher maximum memory shared.

gigabytes motherboard usually only has 512mb shared

asus ones have 512mb and 1024mb

msi didn't really state on their website, but i think should be 1024mb

asrock, however is 1792mb with wifi module summore
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813157687
EDIT: I have checked asrock website and it shows only 1024mb, most customers complain about the wifi antenna, i guess this is not what i want after all.

i just need some opinions, or any better motherboard?

I would advise you to drop the speaker and get a 27 inch instead if this is the path you want to go, the speaker itself is a 2.1 speaker and doesn't worth its full price at all.

Intel Core i5 6402P - RM 729
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 299
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 154
Gigabyte GTX950 2GB GDDR5 OC - RM 689
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
ATX/mATX casing ~ RM 150
BenQ GW2460 - RM 469
Logitech Z623 - RM 729

Total: RM 3627 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

If without the overpriced speaker, you can get at least a RX470.

Some games yes some games no, if the games itself requires fast single core clock speed or utilize multicore then bottleneck will happen.

Samsung U28E590DS 4K 60Hz TN FreeSync - RM 1899
Dell P2415Q 4K 60Hz IPS - RM 1899
Dell S2817Q 4K 60Hz TN - RM 1935
Acer Predator XB280HK 4K 60Hz TN GSync - RM 2499
Philips BDM4350UC 4K 60Hz IPS - RM 2599

I will go for Acer Predator GSync over all the other monitors anytime, 4K is an insane resolution to drive, even with GTX1080 and you won't have stable 60 FPS, GSync is here to help

Since still no specific budget range stated, I will just go with what I can.

CM Elite 110 and 130 - suitable for low budget build, if no dedicated GPU is going to be installed like your case, go for Elite 110, small and easy to carry around.

ASRock H110M-ITX/ac is not available in Malaysia, we only have the non AC version. If you don't need a WiFi card, you can get the non AC version (H110M-ITX), price is around RM 350. You can get a WiFi adapter for wireless connection with either USB dongle or PCIe adapter to pair with the ASRock mobo, USB dongle is much cheaper than PCIe card.
