Yeah, RAM prices are going up due to some production issues. You can try hunting for cheaper RAM first. As for the SSD, that is the price you have to pay for premium grade product. 850 Evo 250GB is just around RM60 more money.

Since AMD Ryzen CPU is picky about the RAM, I need to make sure that the RAM kit I choose is compatible, or else I'll be dead. Possible choices of RAM kit are:
- Any of the G.Skill Flare X 2400 2x8GB RAM kits (Should be around RM600 to RM800)
- Any of the 2400 mt/s (or above) 1x16GB or 2x8GB RAM kits that uses Samsung B-dies. (price varies, and very difficult to find one.)
Any suggestions on the RAM kits choice would be helpful (or not).

As for SSD, I guess I have no choice but to buy a 850 Evo 250GB SSD then.

Hey sifus, need suggestions building a low-end of the mid range pc.

[Purpose]Casual gaming, Youtube, FL studio

[Hardwares that will be re-use]Mouse , Keyboard

[Monitor resolution]

[Games & softwares that use frequently]PUBG (ultra above 60fps should suffice), Witcher 3 Medium settings or low smooth 60 fps should be enuf cause not playing much

[Personal preferences] GTX 1060 6GB, Ryzen, 128 or 256 SSD(suggest the 1 suited for my price range), 16GB ram

[Location]KL , Bringing to Kampar

Need a 1080p monitor too. 144hz or less whatever 1 ms response rate colour gamit all baik baik budget then okay lah haha sorry might be asking too much. Thanks

Right now, G.Skill looks to be the cheapest. FlareX is optimized for AMD Ryzen.

Even though PUBG isn't final release yet, this is the current performance.

https://www.techspot.com/review/1490-ryzen-...4-geforce-1080/

Looks to me GTX 1070 minimum for 60FPS+ ultra at 1080p. Also, 144hz monitors doesn't come cheap.

As for the spec, how about these?

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 1039

I've been searching around and found GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3. Between the two motherboard, is it the same? and does both support the 4 USB 3.0 that is in the front panel of my case?

and another thing..for the SSD, what's the difference between V-NAND and M.2?

This post has been edited by Chungfk: Sep 17 2017, 11:24 AM

Emm....sir, you are comparing two different things.

V-NAND is Samsung's own 3D NAND chips, while M.2 refers to the SSD form factor.

Ryzen 5 1400
G.Skill 8GB 2400Mhz x2
ASUS PRIME B350M-A
Zotac GTX1060 6GB
Adata SSD 128GB
Seagate 1TB Barracuda
Aigo GT600W Full Modular
Segotep Lux White + 3 Aigo LED case fans
Acer XF240 - 144hz + 1ms response time
TOTAL RM5128

slightly over your quotation, but fulfill all your requirements

Same chip. Difference is Gigabyte has RGB and better audio chip. Maybe Asus has better power delivery.

Hi guys.. just went through some of the benchmarks.. is it true that budget desktop processor likw g4560 is even more powerful than the i7-7500u counterpart ? So it means the lowest range desktop cpu can beat most of the core i7 mobile processor ? But they did mention that g4560 is missing AVX.. whats that ?

Hi usually for watching 4k video like netflix.. does it require better gpu or cpu ? G4560 has hdmi 2.0 ?

Motherboard doesnt have HDMI.
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H110M-K/overview/

Change it to H110M-D. That comes with HDMI. Problem with motherboard manufacturers is they don't tell you which version. Hopefully it works. HD 610 does support 4k.
https://ark.intel.com/products/97143/Intel-...-Cache-3_50-GHz

Still can't guarantee the smoothness due to weak CPU.

I have a G4560 for my media storage PC and with the HD Graphics it struggles with 4K playback. Very choppy. Thats why I paired with a spare R7 250 to help with encoding. I can say is with the discrete GPU, 4K content is much better.

Use HD TV more satisfying

can some 1 recommend a cpu tat can afford 4k gaming, with budget of RM3500 (non china brand PSU )
1 tb hdd will enough , amd or intel both acceptable thx
is it cooling system necessary? no overclocking jz gaming .

P/s: i am playing dota 2 only

4k means you need to get the best graphic card for the budget. Still cannot guarantee but I think DOTA 2 is quite light. Other AAA games definitely need GTX 1080 minimum.

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 - 819
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 319
Zotac GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 - 1309

If no cooling, your hardware overheat already.

since I'm building Ryzen rig, is G.Skill Flare X (3200mhz) worth it? or RipjawsV (2800mhz) is enough? not going to overclock but wanted the best RAM for value.

Flare X is optimized for Ryzen. RipjawsV isn't.

used pc RM3500 is it worth to buy?assume the condition is fine thx
Xeon for gaming is it suitable?
