Hi bro, thanks for the suggestion.

Made some adjustment (please comment):

Ryzen 1700
Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB DDR4 2x16GB
Leadex II Gold 650W
Corsair HD120 RGB
Re-use GTX 750 Ti while waiting for Vega
Re-use Crucial 512GB MX100 SSD

Few questions:

1) I changed the mobo because i think i will not use all the features in the X370 - what do you think?

2) I also changed the ram from 4x8GB to 2x16GB as i may add another 2x16GB in the future, is this alright? Also, can this ram run smoothly at 3200MHz?

3) I also plan to have Ryzen 1700 overclocked 4.0GHz, do you have any recommended cooler?

4) Casing wise, as i put my rig on my left, is there a casing with glass on its right side instead? With RGB + good ventilation + cable management.

5) I also need bluetooth and WiFi card (Unifi 100Mbps), does the motherboard come with bluetooth capability? Can't find any info on this.

6) I have set my eye on BenQ Zowie XL2411Z for FPS Gaming. Can recommend me another 24 inch IPS monitor for work/movie/MMORPG/non-fps gaming purpose? Thinner bezel is a plus since i am using 2 monitors.

7) Is there any SSD that is considerably better than Crucial MX100 at IOPS and 4K speed but still remains in the budget range? Honestly speaking, i feel that the MX100 is still quite slow.

8) Do you recommend NZXT Hue+ with Aer RGB build over Corsair Lightning Node Pro with HD140 build?

Thank you.

Budget 5k max and want to play AAA games that will be coming out in the next 2 years. Can sifus build a rig for me please?

And can mention the full name of parts. Bcs I see the list there is so many names for everything, like gtx 1070 there are like 10 over types. How would you know what gtx 1070 someone is talking about?

How about these?

Core i7-7700 - 1383
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - 449
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 x1 - 260
Zotac GTX 1070 8GB DDR5 Mini - 1929
Kingston UV400 120GB SSD - 239
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 212
Corsair VS 550W - 248
Corsair Spec case - 299

RM5019 total (C-Zone prices)

Wanted to recommend Ryzen 7 1700 but it bottlenecks GTX 1070.

Difference with all the brands of GTX 1070 is the features like size, cooling used and factory overclocks.

Hello,
Recently PC just died. Bring to shop the people there told me suspect mobo died.
The thing totally cannot on, saying power can't go through.

If what he says is true i think i will salvage the GC (MSI GTX 760)

Can you guys recommend me a normal setup?

Usage: Dota 2 and browsing

Budget 1k-1.5k

Hello Tristan, can you explain on ryzen 7 1700 bottlenecking the GTX1070. Is this only when gaming? I am actually planning to build something similar to what you suggested but couldn't decide on the cpu. I also need a monitor.

[Budget] RM6000

[Purpose] Gaming, Programming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] 1920 X 1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Eclipse for Android, Dota 2, TERA Online

[Personal preferences] GTX1070

[Location] Penang

I am actually leaning towards the i7 7700 because i can get the GPU later and survive on the iGPU for now. If I go the ryzen 7 route I need to buy everything at once.
Could you help and give some advice please. Thank you

After reading a lot build in thread, i would like to said thank you to all sifus (seriously i learned alot)

Can someone recommend me 3.5k build with
+gtx 1060gb 6gb (zotac edition)
+i5
- no ssd for now
- no need for monitor since i got one
- no need for peripheral

Thanks in advance!

1. Sure, X370 is recommended initially because budget is not being told by you that time (and I thought it is unlimited, nah just j/k )

2. Unfortunately the TridentZ RGB doesn't have 16GB x 1 kit in Malaysia currently, 8GB x 1 kit is the maximum you can buy locally right now, so you'll need 8GB x 4 to get 32GB (things might change in the future when distributor decides to bring in the 16GB kit), the native XMP profile speed is 3200MHz, whether it can run at native speed or not, well, it depends on the acceptance of the mobo and the CPU (bear in mind that some RAM models do have problem reaching their native speed in Ryzen platform before this).

3. You prefer AIO liquid cooler or air cooler?

4. Look for Corsair 600C, due to the design language of consumer grade motherboard, the layout of the rig will be inverted as the mobo has to be turned upside down for you to access to the rear ports, hence all the components in the rig will be upside down and might not please everyone, google the name of the casing if you don't know what I mean.

5. No, only mITX and super high end ATX mobo come with WiFi and Bluetooth card, you'll need to get an external adapter for it, look for AC grade WiFi adapter to fully utilize the speed of your UniFi 100mbps (make sure your router is 5GHz capable too).

6. Dell UltraSharp U2417H (matte)/Acer R241Y (matte)/Dell S2418H (glossy) etc.

7. If you think MX100 is slow then you really need to get onboard with PCIe SSD already, the mighty Samsung 850 EVO scores almost the same as your MX100, the PRO model doesn't worth the money either.

8. This is somehow related to personal preferences, pick the one which suits you more

Thanks bro, is this zotac graphic card as good as the msi ones? And is C-zone your shop?

Same chip.

No. C-Zone is not my shop.

What if I upgrade my budget to RM5K, so what can I upgrade from this suggested build?

Go for this

Core i7-7700 - 1399
Biostar B150S1 D4 HI FI ITX - 349
Apacer 8GB DDR4-2133 x1 - 239
Zotac GTX 1070 8GB DDR5 mini - 1929
WD Black 1TB 2.5" - 299
Silverstone SFX 600W - 569
Silverstone ML08B case - 339 (estimated)

RM5123 total

A little overbudget. You might be able to haggle it to RM5k.

Hi guys, is this legit? Why is it so cheap?
