Well if you are going for RX470 8GB at 1.1k then I would suggest you to switch to GTX1060 6GB instead, more performance at similar price tag  flex.gif

GTX1050Ti (around RM 750) could handle the job pretty decent on 1080p, mobo can swap to low end H110 (can save up to RM 100+) as well.

Curious where does the RX 480 slots in between RX 470, 1060 3GB, 1060 6GB for best peformance to price ratio?

Depends on the price and the model you are going to get, but in general consensus, GTX1060 3GB holds the best ratio currently, can be bought under RM 950, RX470 both 4GB and 8GB just don't feel right with its pricing in Malaysia, GTX1060 3GB is a better pick than it.

If you really want to have a best price/performance ratio 'ranking' then it would be (in Malaysia only, might change in the future):

1. GTX1060 3GB
2. GTX1060 6GB
3. RX480 4GB/8GB
4. RX470 4GB/8GB

Interesting, I take that the 470 price cut have yet to reach Malaysia?

Thank You for your suggestion. Is it worth to wait for Kaby lake? Based on previous Intel cpu the raw performance gain isn't much right? Moreover with our ringgit dropping unsure.gif

Also any B150 mobo will do am I right?

Mostly 10% performance improvement based on the previous deployment history data.

Any H110/B150/H170/Z170 chipset mobo will be able to run the current Skylake and the upcoming Kaby Lake (via BIOS update) CPU.

Will the price remain? Just afraid if I wait the performance to price will decrease due to weak myr

Price will remain the same (very high chance) in US dollar, but due to the current situation of our currency, we might actually see a price hike soon, but they are not going to be released so soon (probably early next year), so just pray for a better forex rate in the upcoming months  biggrin.gif

I can wait, it is just that I'm afraid it may exceed my budget if myr weakens more. rclxub.gif

Guys need some suggestion. Do you think I should upgrade to Kaby Lake from Ivy Bridge? From what I read Kaby Lake is basically the same as Skylake in terms of process and architecture. But thing is I have a chance to get Kaby Lake cheap so I'm not sure to wait for next gen or just get it for now.

Good day all,

I've decided to finalise the build for my brother who will start his Graphic Design course this March, main usage would be photo & video editing. Please take a look. Budget around RM5000+-100.

CPU Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-B250M-HD3 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory Avexir Core Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage Samsung 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive(For O/S, Photoshop and Premiere Pro)
Storage Kingston Predator 240GB PCI-E Solid State Drive (Project drive)
Video Card Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card
Case Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Case
Power Supply Corsair VS 550W ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive Asus DVDRW 24x
OS Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

Few questions,

1. Motherboard can support upto 32GB RAM in 2 slots, should I go 2x8GB or 1x16GB?
2. Is the PCI-E SSD compatible? Can use the M.2 2280 slot from motherboard right? Or need to use the PCI-E slot?
3. Graphic card, mainly for CUDA acceleration, better to just take GTX 1050?

Thank You!

1. You might as well just "upgrade" to the 4 RAM slots model (B250M-D3H), the price difference is RM 40 only. 2 x 8GB is slightly faster than 1 x 16GB due to dual channel mode but price is higher than 1 x 16GB, if you really go for the 2 RAM slots model, then I would recommend 1 x 16GB so you can add another stick of RAM without having to throw away one of the 8GB RAM sticks.

2. Yes, PCI-E NVMe SSD is supported via the M.2 slot of the mobo (Intel Optane memory ready as well).

3. Yes, that's the only way to go.

Thank you for the advise. Will do so.
