Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 488
ASRock H110M-HDV - RM 245
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 225
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 206
Corsair VS450 - RM 162
Tecware F3 - RM 119

Total: RM 1445 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Cannot fit a dedicated GPU (even with Pentium G4400) so just use the iGPU of the i3 (HD 530) for Dota or Starcraft.
Hi sifu terence_nwb

Thanks for the reply. Based on your recommendation, that it means I need to get a ATX motherboard or a ATX casing in order for me to fit a dedicated GPU? Thanks

No, it's about budget constraint, mATX/mITX can fit dedicated GPU just fine  smile.gif

Thanks for the info. That good that I can upgrade later to a dedicated GPU later when I got the fund to buy a good GPU smile.gif

If you plan to get a high end GPU in the future, please consider swapping the current selected PSU to a better one so you don't have to upgrade the PSU next time when you do the GPU upgrade.

Hi sifu terence_nwb,
Do you have any recommendation on the PSU? The dedicated GPU that I looking to buy is GTX1060. Thanks

This is good point... I always go overboard with PSU... like for the rig u recommended me, I got myself an EVGA Supernova G2 650w gold just so i can maintain it at medium load and the fan wont run... so it'll be quiet...

Thanks

Get the Corsair VS550/FSP Hexa+ 550W if you don't plan to fork out too much money for it, else you can go for a decent one priced > RM 350+.

Bear in mind that some CPU demanding games will require a more powerful CPU to fully unleash the performance of GTX1060, i3 will work fine (don't worry) but it might hold back the performance of the card in some games.

Thanks again for your reply smile.gif
