Greetings everyone. I have not been in touch with the Hardware scene for awhile now.
Currently looking forward to upgrading my current rig to match current gen (kindly refer to my siggy). Most of my hardware is circa 2011-2012.
Do let me know, what should I upgrade, should I just hold out for now and etc.
Playing games like the latest Tomb Raider, The Division, Rainbow Six Siege and etc (currently just running on Medium or so settings)
Budget for upgrades RM5,000.00 - RM6,000.00 (plus extra if really necessary)
Not a rush upgrade, I can wait for better items to come out and really open to suggestions.
Also interested in maybe a 1440p monitor, if budget permits.

Just overclock it to match the requirements of the latest titles if it is needed. Basically what you "need" to upgrade (in my opinion) is just the GPU, RAM (to 16GB) and monitor (since you are interested in a 1440p monitor). If I were you, I will go for these items. 1. GTX1070 8GB (around RM 2000) 2. Grab another 8GB DDR3 RAM (around RM 250) 3. Get a 27" 1440p GSync capable monitor like Acer Predator XB271HU (around RM 3200) Total cost will be around RM 5500+/-. Thanks for the reply bro.  This PC is just a multimedia/Gaming rig, no rendering and etc. Will get another 8GB RAM as suggested. Read an article about GTX1080TI coming out by January 2017. Wondering whether I should just wait for that beast instead. That monitor maybe difficult to get, simply because I live in Kuching.  |
