i don't favor either, would personally go 1600 for best value sweet spot. it is up to TS to decide what he does with his PC. but fair enough i guess, for 1080p 144Hz 7700k better, but 1440p not much difference.

btw would you choose 1080ti with I7-7700k vs 1080ti with 1700? for more than 60FPS 1440P.

Hi,

To start, I am a beginner struggling to put together a rig for 3D rendering (Sketchup, Vray, Maya, AutoCAD) and gaming (Witcher, WoW, Counter-Strike).

This is what I have so far, aiming for a budget of RM 7000 without monitor or peripherals. Please lend your expertise!

Ryzen 1700 8-core
Asus strip B350-F Gaming
Gskill 8GB 2400 MHz x2
250Gb Samsung SSD
1 TB HDD
Asus GTX 1070
650w psu?
Case??

Ty in advance

Ok.thanks.was consider between intel and amd.but g4560 seem too low for photoshop

Photoshops loves a lot of RAM.

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - RM 1599
Asus B350-F Gaming - RM 650
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz RAM - RM 669
Asus GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 Strix Gaming - RM 2549 (Price is subject to change & got ready stock as of yesterday)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 509
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 239
EVGA SuperNova 550 G3 - RM 499
Tecware Edge TG - RM 189

Total: RM 6903 (Topmaid price inclusive of GST)

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I have decided to get the SSD first, because I got a code for Windows 10 early. Is it alright if I use my laptop to first install Windows 10 on the SSD, then later move it to the new system once I get all the parts?

Nope, Windows 10 will be locked into that laptop. If you have Windows 7 key, it can be used for Windows 10 I think.

[[Budget]: As low as possible

[Purpose]: Word processing. I'm trying to put up a budget rig which I can give to some secondary school students in the interior part of Sabah. They will need it for their project and assignment.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]: None

[Monitor resolution]: Low

[Games & softwares that use frequently]: Microsoft Office, Windows

[Personal preferences]: Will need a rig with quality parts. The area which this is going to be used may not have reliable power supply (most likely running on power generator).

[Location]: Sabah

Thanks in advance!

I hope you know quality comes at a price.

Try

Pentium G4560 - 239
Asus H110M-K - 279
G.Skill Aegis 8GB DDR4-2400 - 299
WD Blue 1TB - 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - 199
Tecware F3 case - 125
Acer DL2020 20" - 379

RM1739 (Idealtech prices. Some parts subject to change due to availability)

Optional:
Super Flower Leadex Silver 550W (higher quality) - 359
Koss 800VA AVR - 99

Need a computer for browsing and lightroom, plus light video edit.

Don't need monitor, keyboard, SSD, Mouse and good Graphic card (not a gamer anymore).

Prefer half or full size motherboard.
Thanks

Sry, budget to be 2k+

How about these?

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 - 780
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2133 X1 - 297
MSI GT710 1GB DDR3 - 170
Corsair VS 450W - 184
Tecware F3 case - 124

RM2000 total (C-Zone prices)

Thanks for the suggestion. Would this support a 1440 resolution monitor? What else would I need to purchase to complete this build? Or is this literally everything inside the computer?

Sure, just get a 1440p monitor (if you haven't already) and you are good to go, it's a complete build, you may get more casing fans if you want to improve the airflow of the rig.

My nephew is interested in building his own budget gaming system. I haven't mucked around with assembling a system in ages, so I hope to get some advice.

Besides budget parts, can you recommend stuff (casing, mobo, and etc.) that are easy to assemble? As in, a 12-year old could do it, with adult supervision.

He's currently gaming on an old Apple iMac, so he tends to play Minecraft, TF2, Counterstrike, etc. Any video card that can run DOOM and Overwatch comfortably should be fine.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help TristanX. On a side note, would it be better if I were to grab a low-end laptop instead?

Low end laptop is significantly slower than Pentium G4560. Also, if you wanna go with 550W power supply, you also need 1000VA AVR if you wanna buy one.

What is your budget? Maybe these?

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 - 780
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2133 X1 - 297
Leadtek GTX 1050 Ti 4GB DDR5 - 699 (from Viewnet)
Corsair VS 450W - 184
Tecware F3 case - 124
