My idea for a Jan 2024 budget build with upcoming 14th Gen Refresh nonK CPU
CPU 13700F / 14700F (will come in Jan 2024)
MOBO MSI B760M-A DDR4
RAM 32GB (16x2) Corsair vengeance 3200 DDR4
GPU RX6700XT / RX6750XT / RX7700XT / RTX 4070 if budget can still fit (7800XT pun boleh but then will need to up the PSU to 750/850W Gold)
SSD 1TB either S70 Blade / Legend 960 / KC3000
PSU MSI MAG A650BN / FSP HVPRO 650W
Case Tecware Nexus Air / Montech Air 1000 (both ATX casing)
or else Nexus Air M2/Forge / Montech Air 100 (MATX casing)
Cooler can use back Intel stock box cooler but if noise/temp is an issue get PA/PS 120/SE
Pricing sendiri cari but most likely will be within 5k

Or TristanX AM4 alternative
Ryzen 5 5600 - 565
Asrock B550M Pro4 - 449
Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 16GB DDR4-3200 kit - 189
MSI RTX 4070 12GB Ventus 2X - 2750
Kingston KC3000 1TB - 329
Adata Core Reactor 750W - 469
Montech Air 903 Max case - 329
RM5080 total (Shopee prices)

Or Myway balls to the wall alternative except w/o GPU (can upgrade later when got money)
i7-14700k RM1,999.00 (igpu can get ave 44FPS for Dota2 @1080P High)
z790 msi p wifi RM1,099.00
32gb 3600mhz kingston fury RM360.00
1tb kc3000 RM345.00
1st player steampunk 850 gold RM399.00
azza hive 450m RM259.00
thermalright ultra extrene 120 RM259.00
RM4,720.00

Ok. Thank you for the recommendations. Probably Jan/Feb. Just that I'm not really into PC building. Looking into buying laptop as well. But for the same budget, PC will be better in terms of spec. Any recommended place can offer service to build the pc. Buy from their shop and ask them to assemble or buy the component first and ask any shop to assemble?

Laptop has different usage bro. Think whats important to you.

If need to be traveling sometimes bring computer then defo get a lappie, yes specs will be quite inferior to desktop PC for same price but you gain in portability. And you can work & game on the go wherever.

If ur not traveling that needs computer or ady have a lappie for such purpose, then yeah better to get a desktop PC as its more value for ur money spent.

Sifu Myway here is system builder based in KL can try him out.

Even if ITX box is luggable its still not practical to use everywhere, like in Starbucks for one. Lapy remains a thing for that reason.

That price was from old stock. NAND flash industry predicted the demand wrongly earlier and had a lot of inventory. The clearance is done now.

Market trend predicts price rise will only up to 13% by end this year but now even non-Samm drives are going higher at least 20%, this rise is more than just price normalisation with inventory cleared up. Local SSD current pricing is looking at the worst of worst case scenario. Its totally out of whack.
Something else is pushing the rise % even higher.

Hi sifus, want to get some rig recommendation for my gf.

[B][Budget] 2.5k - 3k

[Purpose] Your usual day-to-day internet surfing, light gaming (no AAA games), some data works and maybe some light video editing.

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor, keyboard, mouse, headphones..

[Monitor resolution] 1920 x 1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Terraria, Stardew Valley, Sims, CSGO, some MMO, Canvas, Excel, Tableau.

[Personal preferences] GF wanted the rig to be either in pink or white. Preferably NVME to store windows and important programs and a separate HDD for games (doesn't care if games takes longer time to load). Either Intel/AMD fine. Stocks cooling should suffice (?).

[Location] KL

I know the budget is on the lower side given how prices of parts have already increased vs few years back, but seeing if it's still possible to get something up. Few questions:

1) With the usage/games/softwares that will be used here, can the rig handle them without dedicated GPU (say running 60-100 fps on medium-high settings, no ultra etc)?

2) Would I be better off hunting the parts and build it myself or getting those pre-build PC from those online sites?

Thank youu

Thematic build are quite hard to do on a limited budget. No guarantees on pricing but a budget white build can try;

CPU i5-12400 (min) / 13500 (if budget can fit)
Mobo Asrock B760M Pro RS DDR4 - silver/whitish theme on black PCB
RAM Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 (White)
512GB / 1TB KC3000 (whichever still fits ur budget cap)
PSU MSI A650BN / FSP HVPRO 650W
Case Tecware Nexus M2/Forge / Montech Air 100 (White) - either both will hide the black PSU
White sleeve extension cables preferably from known OEM brands ie Tecware, Asiahorse
GPU This is optional if light MMO games, can run off the igpu. Also White theme GPU are not easily available. There is Colorful igame 3050
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/colorful...2954447624.html
Or something much more powerful but double the price

I forgot to add in SSD - KC3000 see which size still fits ur budget.
Also forgot to add in cooler but thats optional, can use back Intel box stock cooler but also can use SE224XT/XTS (white) if got budget

If only case needs to be specific colour then it makes things easier but still the spec I reco boleh pakai just that you can opt for standard black parts if white got no stock, can delete the sleeve extensions too.

If you can do a full white build, actually it looks so much nicer really. rclxms.gif

Regarding the KC3000, it is using PCIe 4.0 right. Does that mean if I want to put it into a A520M-A Pro mobo (AMD set up), it wouldn't run? rclxub.gif

It will work but will only run at PCI-E Gen3 x4 speeds. Basically wasted. Get Transcend MTE220S which is a good Gen3 SSD.
