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?

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

If like this, which processor and mobo should i go?
Processor I5 should be more enough?
How about mobo? Cos I might go for SLI for GTX1080 next year when the price is going down.
But normally 1 card better than SLI? If not mistaken from "google search"
Acer Predator GSync already Rm3.2k alone.


Another question is 1440p/144hz and 4k/60hz. which one is preferable? because my town areas dont have 4k even 2k monitor to test for gaming. is this really big different? or should i stick with 1440p 144hz with gtx1080?

I see, so conclusion go for palit 1080 and xb271hu will be enough? Is it compulsory to change to i7 4790 instead of i5 4460? Bottleneck? My mobo will be ok? Based on your current spec on gtx1070 with the monitor you using(acer) how's the performance?

New batch of Phanteks case is coming soon, pending ETA.

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1289
ASRock H170 Pro 4 - RM 514 -> Asus Z170S Sabertooth (RM 949)
Kingston 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 290-> 16GB[2x8G] Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666MHz C16, Color: White
Gigabyte GTX1080 8GB GDDR5X G1 Gaming - RM 3120-> Dilemma between Palit or Zotac (some got premium or extreme)
Superflower Leadex Gold 550W - RM 409-> any other brands? (corsair or CM?)
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 255 -> Samsung Evo 850 250GB
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Phanteks Eclipse P400S White - RM 389 ->Phanteks Luxe White
Acer Predator XB271HU - RM 3299 (Free headset)

Total: RM 9774 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Not entirely sure if Phanteks Luxe White is coming in together with other models or not so I used the new Eclipse P400S in the list for the time being, you can try to ask the seller for stock availability.

Phanteks CPU cooler isn't available in Malaysia, another choice is Cryorig CPU cooler (look for Idealtech), it also comes with white color to suit your white theme.

The mobo picked isn't full white color, another option would be Asus Z170S Sabertooth (RM 949), a bit pricey for me just to get onboard with white theme

RAM can be changed to Corsair Vengeance LPX White at additional cost, please take note that only Z170 mobo can take advantage of RAM speed of > 2133MHz, H110/B150/H170 will downgrade the RAM speed to 2133MHz automatically.

Psu review for corsair rm750x
Cons*
Choice of capacitors in the secondary side
The fan engages rather late
Limited functionality of the Corsair Link software because the PSU isn't digitally controlled
3.3V performance in Advanced Transient Response tests
Corsair Digital Bridge not in the bundle, but including it would raise the price ..
Is it really matter? Kinda newbie on this.

If i chose Seasonic M12-II 750W PSU? Will it be sufficient? overall performance?
the price kinda attractive as well.
