Good power supply is also part of the stability. Rock solid ones are more expensive. Example for EVGA/Super Flower:

Any motherboards can be stable. As for recommendation, I always pick 4 RAM slots with minimum of B250 chipset due to the features. PCI Express 3.0 is a must for future.

Gigabyte B250M-D3H - 449
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 319
Kingston UV400 120GB - 276

Hello all sifus, I am a total newbie in building rigs but I am planning to build one in the near future. I'm still not too sure on the compatibility and how good it is, so any sifus could highlight a thing or 2 for me to improve or could reduce the cost is highly appreciated.

Motherboard: MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Processor: Intel i7-7700K
GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB PC4 3000Mhz (8GBx2)
Storage: Samsung 960 EVO M.2 500GB
Cooling: Corsair Hydro 100i v2
Power Supply: Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500W
Case: Cougar Gaming Panzer Max

This rig will mainly be use for gaming (Crysis, Battlefield 1, FIFA and others) and some video editing and would like to be able to do so in the highest resolution. I haven't decided on any type of monitor yet, but I'm not planning on buying a 4k LCD. For the time being, I'm also not planning to overclock it or playing with the SLi.

If anyone can suggest how to lower the budget but is still able to do the functions that I wanted is highly appreciated. Right now this rig would more or less costs around RM8.5k, I am trying to keep it below RM8k (RM7k if possible) but don't have any idea how I should change it right now. THANKS!

Such expensive build but low quality power supply. Get better PSU like Corsair CX or better, EVGA Supernova, Super Flower Leadex Gold. If aesthetics or other brand is not a problem, yes, you can reduce it.

I see, which power supply do you think is most appropriate for this build? And can please share how I can lower the cost? Cause aesthetics and branding is not my concern, I am simply choosing these based on the reviews that I got online. So any kind of help is highly appreciated.

Like this one

Core i7-7700K - 1541
Corsair H100i V2 - 583
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming K5 - 899
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4-2800 kit (8GBx2) - 627
Zotac GTX 1070 8GB DDR5 AMP! or GTX 1080 8GB DDR5X Mini - 2279/2659
Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2 - 1243
Super Flower Leadex Gold 650W - 479
Corsair Spec case - 299

RM7950/8330 total (C-Zone prices)

Kindly take note RAM speed increases very little performance for Intel setups.

Wow thanks for the suggestion! But I have to ask though, is there any significant difference between the mini and Amp! version of the GPU? I do know that 1080 is the newer version comparing it to the 1070 though.

Cooling performance. Smaller heatsink definitely will have higher temps but it also fits smaller casing. Bigger heatsink usually have higher factory overclocks.

So in this case the 1070 have a bigger heatsink compared with the 1080 right?

Hi sifus,
So i got a fren that intends to sell me a pc as the following specs for 2.5k
MOBO: ASUS M5A97-R2.0
Processor: AMD FX-4350 4 Core 4.2 GHz 12 MB Cache
RAM: 4 x Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600 CL10 DIM Hyper X Fury White Series
HDD: Seagate 1TB 3.5" SATA
PSU: Seasonic 860Watts Platinum 7 (80 Plus Platinum)
Monitor: ACER 23inch G237HL ABI LED
GC: 1x Radeon Saphire HD 4890 Vapor-X
Casing: HAF Coolermaster 922

yall think is worth the buy??

Yes but less performance too. You'll need minimum of GTX 1080 for 4k gaming.

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/G..._GTX_1080_Mini/

Nope, not worth it. The power supply is overkill and inflated the price. It is a quality power supply though.

Estimated since there is no age stated

4350 - 200
mobo - 150
RAM - 130
GPU - 150
HDD - 120
Casing - 200
Power supply - 700?

Monitor - 500

This one will blow it away. Consumes a lot less power too.

Pentium G4560 - 276
ASUS PRIME B250M-K - 391
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 319
Zotac GTX 1050 2GB DDR5 - 589
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 210
Corsair VS 450W - 184
Tecware F3 case - 145

I suggest you buy only the monitor.
