Hi Sir TristanX,

Thank you for your time & guidance, you help me a lot.

Thanks you!

Hi all,

I am planning to build my first PC (white theme with RGB effect).
I mainly use it for gaming (NBA2k, Dota2) and some engineering software (CAD & Solidworks).

Parts are as below,

Processor-i5-8600k
MB-Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E
GPU-Galax 1080 HOF
Memory-G.Skill Trident Z 3000 RGB 16GB
SSD-Samsung 960 Evo M.2 250GB
HDD-Seagate Firecuda SSHD 1T
CPU Cooler-NZXT Kraken X52
PSU-Cooler Master V750 Gold
Case Fan-NZXT Aer 120 RGB Starter Kit
Case-NZXT S340 Elite or Corsair 780t


Is this build OK? Any better alternative parts suggestion?
Would appreciate any advice from you guys.
Still undecided on the case as i preferred 780t design but worry its too big, with so few parts inside gonna look too empty?

Thanks in advance

I suggest i7-8700K instead because it may be the one and only CPU you'll buy for this platform. Intel mainstream 8 core in the future may not be compatible.

Spacious is actually good for heat. The heat does not accumulate too fast.

Thanks for the advice.
Damn i choose a bad time to build a pc now huh.
But there is always new stuff coming out so i guess no point waiting.

Noticed that you are using galax 1080 gpu as well. so far so good?

Just not bad. 82C on load.

Hi guys, I need yours help. I'm planning to build a custom PC, budget around 3-3.5k

Here is the specs I prefer
Processor-i5-8400
MoBo-Gigabyte Z370 XP-SLI
GPU-GTX1050/1050ti
Memory-Kingston 8GB DDR4
SSD-WD 120GB or non
HDD-WD 1TB
PSU-Need advice
Case-Phanteks P300

Anything I missed out there? Thanks for helping

Sifus, can I get some recommendations for a SSD? I have been recommended an 850 Evo 500GB but that's rather pricey. Any other brands/alternatives to recommend?

What is your budget? 850 Evo is one of the best budget SSD.

Could I switch Asrock B350M Pro 4 to MSI B350M PRO-VDH Plus? Couldn't find the former on lazada

Edit: Never mind, looked up some forums and got creepy info about MSI mobos. Guess I'll just keep searching.

I was hoping to get a decent one at RM 600 since I'm considering getting my second Dell P2314H monitor and another 8GB RAM stick

Hi,
I plan to build rig like this and needed expert advise.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Asrock AB350M Pro 4
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4-2400 X1
MSI GT 710 1GB DDR3
WD Blue HDD 1TB
Coolermaster Elite 500W
SEGOTEP K6 SIDE TRANSPARENT ATX

My budget is 2k
No budget for graphic card yet. Will change near future to 1050+ when got bullet.

Your budget is short for 500GB. Go for 250GB.

Change the power supply. Corsair VS 450 or 550 and FSP is better.

Thanks!
