Hi Bros, am looking to get a gaming PC for less than 2K.
Excl. monitor and HDD.
Will just need a 120GB SSD in the new setup though.
Any recommendation?
Thanks

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Feb 14 2017, 08:38 AM) If so then you may consider the first build with i7 7700 (or wait for AMD Rzyen CPU next month). Hi bro, thanks for the quick feedback. Intel Pentium G4560 - RM 249 Asus H110M-K - RM 259 G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255 Gigabyte GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 - RM 570 Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 232 FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169 Tecware F3 - RM 119 Total: RM 1853 (ETECH price inclusive of GST) * BIOS update is required to run Kaby Lake CPU on a mobo with older chipset.   How much do u think is the damage if i decided to go with an i5 chip set instead? Or is this G4560 sufficient to last me for several years down the road? Cheers  |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Feb 14 2017, 10:21 AM) Your budget is only able to build a low end gaming PC, G4560 + GTX1050 is somehow considered as a balance combo, of course you can opt to upgrade to i5 but it is harder to fully utilize the power of i5 when you are able to run the latest titles at low-to-mid settings with the GTX1050. Been reading some reviews of the G4560 and i5 7400 benchmarking and comparison. This G4560 is basically a modern i3 with slightly lower clock speed at a much affordable price, if you plan to upgrade the GPU in near future, then getting an i5 is recommended so you don't have to worry about CPU bottleneck issue, an extra of RM 700+/- is required for i5 7400. Seems like the G4560 is an affordable entry level chip as you mentioned which is reasonably balance in terms of performance & budget wise. Don't think gonna up my GPU in the near future as my current desktop lasted me for more than 6 years now. As I thought to get a maximize spec for the budget to last me for a long time haha~  Will give this a real thoughts and hopefully can get it down soon as now just using my lappy for the time being. Thanks again and cheers PS: Bro, out of curiosity, if I want a budget rig with an i5 chipset. what would be the spec be like? TIA  This post has been edited by stevenycs: Feb 14 2017, 11:06 AM |
