Hi Terence

The build list seems pretty much in line with what I've in mind for a gaming rig that can last for at least 2 or 3 years. Perhaps I'd drop the RAM to 8GB.

I've a question on the GPU - I'm assuming performance & price wise GTX1060>RX480>RX470 (correct me if I'm wrong). Plus there's talk of potential release of GTX1050?

Based on their prices in Malaysia right now, which one do you think has the:
1) 'Best' bang-for-the-buck (Performance/RM, e.g. i5-6500); and
2) 'Longevity' (potentially last for at least 2 years)?

I'm leaning towards the RX470 now considering my immediate want is to play BF4/BF1 @1080p, no point paying extra for prettier eye-candy.

Hi Terence,

Time for me to upgrade as my HDD just died on me. Revisiting my requirements:

[Budget]
Not exceeding RM3k

[Purpose]
Gaming - medium intensive

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
CM690 case, monitor, input peripherals
PSU: Silverstone strider ST50-ES Link - do you think it's wise to re-use?

[Monitor resolution]
1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Looking at like BF1

[Personal preferences]
If possible:
Processor: i5 Skylake (do you think worth waiting for Kaby Lake?)
Graphics: GTX 1060 or RX480
Storage: 240GB SSD for boot/OS.
