Barely enough. Budget too low. Look for Second hand Core i5-3470 or 3570. That will cost you around RM350. GTX 1050 Ti is around RM700.

So, I just need to replace my processor (to i5-3470/2570), RAM (upgrade to 4GB 2 sticks) and GPU (GTX 1050 Ti) right?
Well, I'm leaning more towards second hand items. I hope can scavenge good parts in Mudah/Lelong

Yes, don't forget to update BIOS.

Alright thank you!

any of you guys know where can i buy evga psu? preferably walk in store

dotatech or idealtech, good after purchase service.

Hi I'm planning to get a AMD ryzen 7 1700 3.0Hz 8 Core Processor. What do you think about this CPU? I heard that ryzen performance over the long term deteriorates alot. Is this true?

No issue for me. I'm using it.

Awesome. Thanks!

Hi , im planning to have a pc for video editing 1080 / 4k

CPU: Intel i7-8700k
Graphics Card: GTX 1070 8GB
Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z370-A/P
RAM: 16 GB DDR4-3200



is this spec ok?

No issue. Kindly take note 8700K requires good third party heatsink. It doesnt come with heatsink. At least Coolermaster Hyper 212 LED is recommended.

bro this spec already above the roof, i'm doing video editing for some of my videos not for company stuff.

i5-8400 does the job well enough, unless you're rich or doing really heavy 4k videos then go for 8700k.

hi, i want to buy 144hz monitor. currently im using 1060

1080p is enough

budget 1k~1.5k

do i need to buy gsync only monitor or any monitor that have 144hz

I believe all Gsync monitor is above 2k. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Try this? AOC 24inch 144Hz GSync Monitor

Kalau pakai Nvidia kena pakai monitor G-Sync, and most G-Sync monitors dalam 2k macam tu (except second hand)
Kalau AMD pakai FreeSync monitors, murah berganda dari G-Sync monitors (probably boleh dapat around 1.5k for new item)

Noted with thanks !

oh is it ? how about your graphic card? is it much more smooth when editing ?

good GPU helps when viewing your work timeline, but it doesn't affect much on the render time.
at most you only need a gtx 1050ti for rendering. High end would be quadro but you cannot use that for gaming.

Hi guys, below is my setup since Dec 2014 and unfortunately the Asrock mobo decided to give up right after the warranty expired on Dec 2017.. I'm newbie in pc hardware so i need a suggestion whether to replace the mobo or an upgrade for future proof. Budget RM500~RM1000+ depend if it is worth the upgrade or just replace mobo. If it is an upgrade, I think i will recover around RM600 (processor & 2x ram)? and no idea what to do with the dead mobo

Intel i5 4460
Asrock B85 Fatality Killer (MoBo dead as of 17/1/18)
Avexir 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz Red
Leadtek GTX970 Hurricane 4GB DDR5
Plextor M6S 128GB SSD
