If that's the case, would it be wise for me to send my card for repair instead? It won't cost that much compare to buying a new GPU right?

R7 265 sapphire dual x should be an upgrade right? Since you mentioned R7 260X.

Yep, R7 265 is considered as an upgrade, minor one, it is a rebranded version of HD7850.

Depends on which part/component of your GPU is broken, if it is a minor one then it should be within the acceptable budget range, but I am just worried that nobody can quote you a reasonable price for the repair service since 650Ti is an old model, high chance that the components/parts of the card are already obsoleted

What's the main purpose of the rig? Gaming? Rendering? If gaming then you better focus more on the GPU instead of the CPU, GPU does help you by providing better and a more stable frame rates in games while CPU doesn't in most of the scenarios.

Ah alright. Many thanks for the advice bro, appreciate it.

Hey Pros,

I just had a question, since I still have my old PC casing (gigabyte 3D aurora 570) and old power supply cooler master 1000w, could it still be use to build as part of a new rig today?

Any comments are appreciated, thank you in advance.

If they still work, I don't see why not

Thanks Richard, do you also have any recommendation for 2k PC rig- I don't really game much but use it to watch series and movies, that's all.

need some advice on getting a graphic card

Currently use

i5-6402P
ASUS B150 PRO GAMING AURA
4GB D4 PC2133

Only have few new games in Steam
1. PES 2017
2. Football Manager 2017
3. Civilization IV
4. Dead by Daylight
5. METAL GEAR SOLID V

and few old games that doesn't really even need GC

some of the newer game tak boleh pakai due to no GC

Is RM500++ low end GC capable of running those games?

If so, any suggestion?

If you are certain gaming is not necessary, you could consider this:

1. CPU - Intel G4560 (RM239) or i3-7100 (RM509)
2 MOBO - ASUS H110M-D (RM299)
3. RAM - DDR4-2133 8Gb (RM289) or 4Gb (RM149)
4. SSD - Samsung EVO 850 120Gb - RM299 - for OS and apps
5. HDD - 1TB (RM219) or 2TB (RM345) - storing your movies maybe?
6. GPU - GTX1050 (RM579-599) or GTX1050ti (RM719)

Prices are from Idealtech

Your budget will get you a GTX1050 2Gb (RM579) or RX460 2Gb (RM559) to run those games but may not be able to run at ultra settings for some games you listed

saw you introduce GTX1050ti (RM719) in the above post

is it much different in term of performance?

Hopefully, this will give you some idea

More for gaming. rendering that one may comes in in the future. So if i drop from 1060 6gb to 1050TI does the performance affects alot?

Hi, I want to custom PC for gaming but I'm not sure whats the best spec for it, please help me~

Software: Unreal Engine / Constant / Maya/ Adobe Photoshop and etc / Z-brush / Crazy-Bump / Substance Painter and also have some games(etc dota, LOL, castle crashes).

Budget: RM7000 (include monitor, mouse, keyboard) *if can i hope i can get lower budget then that

Brands: HP / Dell or etc (except for Lenovo)

Thank You.

Yea quite huge the difference between 1050Ti and 1060 6GB, 1050Ti is around 65% of the performance of 1060 6GB, so you should expect to get around 40 FPS in games with 1050Ti if the 1060 6GB is able to output 60 FPS in the similar games.

For example,

i5 7500 + GTX1060 6GB = 60 FPS
i5 7600K + GTX1050Ti 4GB = 40 FPS

Clearly the first option is more preferred as it is able to output more frame rate (higher performance per price).

HP & Dell & Lenovo are OEM, you won't be able to see them in custom rig world except monitor and OEM PC

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1424
Gigabyte H270-HD3 - RM 519
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 560
Zotac GTX1050Ti 4GB GDDR5 Mini - RM 729
Intel 600P 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD - RM 448
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 359
Tecware Alpha - RM 219
Dell UltraSharp U2417H InfinityEdge - RM 1019
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 65

Total: RM 5561 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

I picked a premium Dell UltraSharp monitor because PS is in the list, it comes with 99% sRGB coverage which is excellent for photo editing. To max out the budget, you may upgrade the GPU or monitor to 27" or 1440p model.

You are free to modify the build according to your own preferences

I got to know about it from the Pikom PC Fair, but I don't know what their quality is like.

I got my rig from AllIT.
