The best combination for your budget would be i5 + GTX1070, but the i5 may struggle a bit in GTA V, especially in city area where population/traffic density is high, causing massive CPU load and potentially some FPS drops throughout the gameplay, not really a problem if you are willing to tune down the settings a bit (those CPU demanding one). This applies to other CPU demanding titles as well.
Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 865
Gigabyte H170-HD3 (D4) - RM 446
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 171
Palit GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Super Jetstream - RM 1988
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD - RM 487
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 339
Tecware Alpha - RM 199
Total: RM 4504 (ETech price inclusive of GST)
To keep below 4k, you can:
1. Downgrade to mATX mobo
2. Downgrade to GTX1060 6GB/RX480 8GB (around 60% of the performance of GTX1070)
3. Remove the SSD for now
4. Downgrade the PSU
Thanks for the suggestions, i have a few questions though:
1. Where is ETech? I have checked the price at Czone and sri computers at Lowyat but the prices seems to be quite higher.
2. Is it better to opt for i5 with gtx 1070 or i7 with gtx 1060?
3. Is there a noticable difference between the gtx1060 6gb and the rx480 8gb? (Price diff aside) Does the extra memory come in handy? I heard that the Amd chips age better, is this true?
4. Is it recommanded to go for the asus B150M over the gigabyte H170?
Thankss
