Interesting opinion. I was starting to consider R5 1400 or Pentium G4560 and a 570 or 1060 3GB because I thought R5 1500 + 580 would be too much for my purpose (as I said I don't do any cpu/gpu intensive tasks other than gaming), but after what you said I guess the 1600 + 580/1060 6GB is a relatively safe, mid-range option. I feel much more comfortable making the purchase now (since you said even R7 1700 + 1070 isn't enough! I just want to make sure I'm not throwing money away and wasting it on hardware that's too powerful for my needs)

Thank you!

EDIT: Also do you have any recommendations for a good micro ATX case? Possibly in the range of the Corsair Spec cases or cheaper?

Guys, recently purchased a Zotac 1060 amp 6gb edition.

I notice earlier that one of the fan starts spinning then stopping and rinse and repeat. The other fan is constantly spinning. Any idea if this is normal? I was doing some gaming with temperature hovering around 60c-70c

Hello all, this build is for my university period, and mainly used for gaming and studies. I expect to run some software for my engineering course and triple A games.
[Budget] RM 4000+-

[Purpose] Gaming and university works

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently]

[Personal preferences] Standard ATX Mobo, AMD R5 1600, RX580 (I know hard to get but I am building in the near  future so hopefully by that time things are better)

[Location] Subang

Thanks in advance.

Edit: added Standard ATX Mobo to personal preference

You can try looking for Bitfenix Prodigy M. Should be around RM339. Don't know much about MATX case.

You can try check on Fractal Design Focus G Mini or Tecware Quad for that price range 

Thanks. Regarding PSU, Super Flower units are very hard to find. What do you think of Corsair TX series? TX550 in particular

If it is 2017 version like this one.

Then it should be good.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 1039
Asus Prime B350-PLUS - 533
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 - 260
Sapphire RX 580 4GB DDR5 - 1599
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 210
Corsair VS 550W - 248
Thermaltake Versa case - 169

RM4058 total (C-Zone prices)

Thats not even including monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Neat, thank you! Do you think it's worth coughing up extra cash for a fully modular unit (specifically an EVGA Supernova G3 550W) or will the semi modular TX do just fine? I'm having a dilemma as the EVGA unit costs RM80 more and can only be found online, while the TX is cheaper and can be bought along with the other components I want in one store. Should I spend slightly more money and go out of the way just to get the G3?

Yes, I know the RX580 issue so I said in the future.... By that time it will revert back to the normal RM1300 for the 8 GB model right? Further more, if the budget is increased to RM 4200, it should be able to fit a monitor considering the GPU is RM 300 cheaper.

Also, is there any news when is the earliest next gen GPU coming out from both AMD and Nvidia?

Thanks for your reply

That's up to you. Both are good brands.

Thank you, I've looked up, watched videos and just saw the quad at Low Yat. Quite interested, do you have any opinions on the quality/building experience?

R5 1600+GTX 1060 or R5 1600+RX580 ? Since GTX 1060 is cheaper than rx580 , is it worth it for the value given the cheaper prices ?

can help me build a mini-itx CPU with RM1000 budget?
no graphic card needed

Intel Pentium G4560 - RM 244
ASRock H110M-ITX - RM 283
G.SKill Aegis 4GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 159
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
CM Elite Power 350W - RM 127
CM Elite 110 - RM 158

Total: RM 1190 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

If you don't have any HDD/SSD to reuse, the total cost will be > 1k.

sorry forgot to add, HDD & SSD already have.
and is that some sort if performance RAM? seems quite pricey.
normal RAM is good enough for me.

i would like to max out processing power available for my budget.
case use cap ayam one also fine..

Can help me build a rig for gaming purpose?

Budget is rm1800 , cpu only.

Many thanks
