[Budget] <RM3k
[Purpose] Gaming, movies, occasional graphics work
[Hardwares that will be re-use] No
[Monitor resolution] 1920 x 1080
[Games & softwares that use frequently] Game - Witcher, The Forest, Skyrim etc, Others - Sketchup, Gimp
[Personal preferences] Rig only no need monitor and peripherals
Are the suggested parts compatible or require trial and error in building? Preferably no tinkering, noob here.
Also, I have an unused Win 7 oem license. Can I install on the new rig myself?
If custom build need a lot of trial and error, I might consider the pre-built Dell ones albeit shitty and less value for money. Thoughts?
Inspiron 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 8GB Memory 1TB Hard Drive 1TB Hard Drive NVIDIA® GeForce™ 730 2GB GDDR3.
Alienware Aurora Intel® Core i3 Processor 8GB memory 1TB hard drive NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 950 with 2GB GDDR5.
P/s current custom rig failed to load. Casing light is on but not booting up. No idea if hdd or psu failure. 6 yr rig, psu changed 2 yrs ago (Hexa 550 if not mistaken).

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 11 2016, 10:13 AM) Usually no trial and error is needed, but improper installation of hardware like RAM doesn't get seated properly may need some troubleshooting initially, but those are quite easy to solve, most of the mobo nowadays come with hardware failure troubleshooting code/LED so you don't really need to tinker around to find out what's the problem when PC is not booting. Can you get into BIOS with your current problematic rig? Your budget can get you a Skylake i5 + GTX1060 already, those pre-built OEM PC are just doing daylight robbery with their low end specs Can you suggest a rig for me based on my earlier requirement? Thanks! Anyway, can't boot into bios. Lights and fan all running but no signal to monitor. It appears my motherboard has no internal speaker to produce beeps for troubleshooting.

Oh yeah sorry further noob questions. This build list is complete and ready to run once pass to the shop and built? No need further add-ons like cooler, fans, sound card etc already right? Sorry not sure what parts are required for a fully functional pc ready to plug and play.
