Hello guys. Im planning to get a new PC mainly for Adobe Premiere Pro works. My budget is 2K. I already have monitor, mouse and keyboard.. I don't mind AMD or Intel.. Price over performance is preferable..
Thanks..

Is the only reason you're trying to get a H370 is for the PCIe x4 on the M.2 slot apart from the ATX form?
If yes then I have to agree with @neverfap on just getting the B360, they're much cheaper and some of them do pack a PCIe x4 on the M.2 slot like the one @neverfap suggested.

If you really want to get the H370, then I'd say the two board you suggested are very similar, I don't think you can go wrong with either one of them.
The Gigabyte H370 Aorus Gaming 3 also has two USB type-C ports while the H370 TUF does not.
Also, the H370 Aorus actually has two models, one comes with integrated Wifi module and the other one does not (which you linked).
The H370 TUF comes with integrated Wifi module, so that's a plus if you intend to use Wifi with your rig.

Then everything else comes down to "aesthetics" and "RGB".

Pretty sure Adobe Premiere Pro is very demanding piece of software, you might need to bump up that budget to 3k+ to get a decent rig.
This is just my suggestion, I'm no sifu on this matter, real sifu here can probably show you a cheaper and better option.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 690
Asrock AB350 Pro 4 - 349
Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400 - 696
Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI 4GB DDR5 OC - 688
WD Blue 250GB M.2 - 328
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 3.5 - 148
Corsair VS450 - 137
Tecware Nexus - 179

Total: RM3215

You can try getting only one RAM stick first and slowly upgrade later, so you can get the rig now for around RM2867.

hi sifu,

Please suggest best build + 1080p monitor for budget around RM 6K. dont care about look. only performance while gaming

thx.

CPU: CORE I5 8600k - RM988
COOLER: CRYORIG H7 - RM200
MOBO: GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS GAMING 5 - RM899
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper X 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz - RM895
GPU: GALAX GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti EX-SNPR WHITE - RM2169
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB - RM358
HDD: SEAGATE BARRACUDA 1TB - RM148
PSU: SUPER FLOWER LEADEX SILVER 550W - RM299
CASE: TECWARE CORE - RM95

TOTAL: RM6051

Need more info on monitors. What's your preference on size, refresh rate, IPS or VA or TN panels?
Here's some suggestions anyway:
24" TN 144Hz 1ms : Viewsonic XG2402 - RM900
27" VA 144Hz 4ms : ED273a - RM859
24" VA 144Hz 4ms : ED242QRA - RM672

Which one is better: LG 24' 24MP59G or LG 24' 24MP68VQ?

Both monitors are about the same except 24MP59G is catered more towards gamers.

hi again, one question. if to opt for 1070Ti, what model of monitor would u recommend? I read online it mentioned is either 1080p 144Hz or 1440p. I would prefer 1080p 144Hz 24" - 27" at the moment. So what brand/model would u recommmend?

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thannk.I know Premiere is really a demanding software for cpu. My works usually consist of 5-10 minutes video a file. Any other suggestion?

Cut the graphic card and SSD, switch the CPU to Ryzen 5 2400G at around RM740. Closer to your budget now. Total cost for Crucial 16GB RAM is RM674 from C-Zone.

Not sure but you can try these:

AMD Ryzen 5 2400g - 626
Asrock AB350M Pro 4 - 309
Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400 - 696
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 3.5 - 148
Corsair VS450 - 137
Tecware Nexus - 130

Total: RM2046

You'll be using integrated graphic and no SSD (longer load times, not sure about video processing time but it should be affected as well).

[Budget] RM3000 preferable, price not including monitor but i have to buy monitor too

[Purpose] graphic and video work mostly

[Hardwares that will be re-use] printer and scanner obviously

[Monitor resolution] at least full HD resolution, 24"

[Games & softwares that use frequently] adobe software: illustrator, photoshop, premier etc

[Personal preferences] would like to run faster while doing work and will have a NAS storage

I've been searching and found Asus M32CD-MY013T Desktop PC, quite nice. Any suggestion?
Do i need a dedicated graphic card?

How about these?

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - 849
Asrock AB350M Pro 4 - 309
Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 X2 - 674
Gigabyte GT 1030 2GB DDR5 - 369
WD Blue 250GB M.2 - 347
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 163
Corsair VS 450W - 159
Tecware Nexus case - 179

RM3049 total (C-Zone prices)

Does AMD has an edge for graphic use now? What's the advantage? why vega graphic card so expensive, comparing to GTX 1070Ti

Does using Ryzen 5 2400G with built in run smooth enough for illustrator (no photoshop and premier i can still using old pc for that since it's only once in a while)
if so, maybe i'll sacrifice graphic card for more RAM and fastest SSD available.

No. AMD CPU has nothing to do with it. Nvidia graphic cards has better price/performance due to AMD continues to put insane prices.

Built-in graphics shouldn't affect the performances for Illustrator. That setup already got 16GB RAM (8GB X2).

in term of?

Both monitors are 24" IPS panel with 75Hz and 5ms response time.
Only difference is the 24MP59G-P has more "gamer" features implemented in it like "1ms motion blur reduction" but looking at reviews, that feature is useless. Seems gimmicky to me.
You'll need to check for reviews online though since I never tried these monitors before.

Budget: RM 3k-4k
Purpose: Designing and Autocad
Includes 24' monitor and Windows 10 in the budget

[Budget] around RM4000 for desktop (already have existing monitor, keyboard, windows 10 etc, and other from previous comp.)

[Purpose] Mainly architecture, graphics and rendering; but would like to also allow gaming once in a while. Main applications:
[Hardwares that will be re-use] Have old HD to use - SSD (Plextor M5S 256gb) & HDD (Seagate 3TB 3.5 SATA 7200rpm); have old (2x4gb) 8gb RAM that could potentially use (not sure what type/brand, need to check back), but might consider to upgrade to 16gb total

[Monitor resolution] Not needed

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Sketchup, AutoCAD, Rhino 3d, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator. Steam gaming

[Personal preferences] Dont have knowledge in building PC, first time. But initial research, seems like NVIDIA graphics card is recommeneded for the software I use. In terms of CPU between Intel & AMD, I have no idea the pro/con of each, but just leaning towards Intel because im familiar with it. not sure if I7 8700 is overkill or within budget? but would preferebly like to future-proof my desktop and using it for next 10 years!

Mainly looking for recommendation on the CPU, Graphics Card, Cooler & Case. Thanks!
