How far is the performance difference between these 2 cpu, say for normal browsing and playing dota 2 and csgo. I will pair it with r7 360

And the asrock mobo not too overkill? I just need a simple set up and have no plan for fancy set up like sli

Also tq to both of u

Nevertheless, you may pick any H110 boards, if you just want practical usage and don't care about looks. You don't need to SLI because the board has the function :3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DNiHK_7JeM < Here lies the answers you want. Although, may not cover all the games you play. There are also other videos you can make comparison with.

TL:DR : G4560 is enough for your needs, if the games are so graphical demanding, then upgrade your GPU

For new parts, it's either G4560 or i3 7100, i3 7100 will benefit you more due to higher clock speed (3.9GHz vs 3.5GHz) and CS:GO loves high single core clock speed, you'll gain some FPS boosts from it.

But then it is not worth to upgrade from an i3 to another i3, the performance leap is not significant, if you are okay with used parts, look for used i7 4770/i7 4790/Xeon E3 1230v3/Xeon E3 1231v3, these processors are able to bring significant performance improvements over your current setup, as for the mobo and RAM, you can keep using them since they are compatible with these processors (same socket).

Budget: RM 2.5k (rig only without monitor)

Purpose: Gaming, watching movie

Hardwares that will be re-use: nothing

Monitor resolution: 1920X1080

Games & softwares that use frequently: Dota 2, CS:GO, Overwatch, Battlefield 1, PES 2017,

Personal preferences:
- I need ssd
- I still dont know whether I need cpu cooler or not.
- Need suggestion for the 23/24 inch budget Full HD monitor

Will not recommend SSD with low budget. Especially when you want 1080p.

Core i5-7400 - 799
Asrock H110M-DVS R2.0 - 249
Apacer 8GB DDR4-2133 - 229
Leadtek or Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB DDR5 - 699
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 219
Corsair VS 450W - 189
Tecware F3 case - 125

RM2500 total (Viewnet prices)

For 24" 1080p monitor, you can try LG 24MP68VQ24" at around RM580.

What if I replaced Core i5 with G4560 so that I can save some budget ? Is there any much difference in terms of performance?

Thanks for your suggestion bro.

You will start lagging when you play games that demands the CPU. Especially multiplayer and MMO.

need some help guys. What do you think of this setup? BTW Im still new to this pc stuff Any help will be much appreciated.

Pentium G4560
ASrock H110M-DVS R3.0
ADATA 8GB DDR4 2133 MHz
Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB DDR5
Sandisk SSD Plus 120gb 520MB/s
WD Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM
Cooler Master Elite 460W
Segotep Legend C2 M-ATX

p/s: I might have to wait for the gpu thou since my budget is quite tight at this moment

Compatibility and specs wise no problem, you can consider removing the SSD first if you are just around RM 250 away from the GTX1050Ti, add the SSD later when you have more funds (or potentially get a 240GB instead )

4K may need quad core CPU or adding at least GTX 1050 Ti which will increase power consumption. On top of that, multiple devices....

How about these?

Core i5-7400 - 780
Gigabyte H270N-WIFI - 649
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 - 260
WD Red 2TB - 424
Super Flower Leadex Silver/Gold 550W - 359/429
Fractal Design Node 304 case - 369

RM2841/2911 total (C-Zone prices)

I'm still researching various sources on the internet on potential builds so thanks for the useful starting point. The 4k thing is me trying to future proof but looking at how much power is needed to transcode 4k I don't think there's much I can do without blowing my budget big time. I don't think plex supports GPU transcoding currently so luckily don't have to factor that in.

Building around an i5 7400 seems reasonable as it would seem capable of transcoding 3 x 1080p@10mbps streams with its 7441 passmark. I was thinking I could swap the HDD for a small SSD since i'm running the media off a NAS. What do you think is the power draw for the system you have proposed Tristan?

And.. I do like your case recommendation - simple and elegant, just need to find a seller.

[Budget]
RM 3000 including monitor + keyboard mouse combo

[Purpose]
Gaming - Overwatch mainly

[Preferences]
24inch 1080p

Two 60W light bulbs when maxed out. Should be less after removing Titan Xp.

Idle and Load (Excel):


Load (maxed out):

Not recommended to torrent or CCTV using SSD. It will kill that fast.

Check out NZXT Manta, my personal fav for ITX case

Intel Core i3 7100 - RM 482
Asus H110M-D - RM 259
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 285
Gigabyte GTX1050Ti 4GB GDDR5 - RM 699
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 185
Tecware F3 - RM 119
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 75

You can upgrade to i5 7400 (or even Ryzen 5 1400) if you can top up your budget by ~ RM 100 - RM 200.
