Hmm, no SSD is a bummer as I'm sure it should be the staple for any gaming PC now. If I'm able to stretch 4.5, what would be the suggestion?

For CPU, i5-8500 at RM785. For SSD, WD Blue 250GB M.2 at RM347.

Hi all, previously I had asked about upgrade in this thread and decided to upgrade but hold back until now.

I have look around and decided on these specs :-

CPU - Ryzen 7 2700x
Mobo - x470 itx
Ram - trident z

But my problem now is I can't find a x470 itx mobo, eyeing Asus x470i but can't find it anywhere. It seems the market only have asrock and Asus x470 itx board.

Do you guys know where can I find Asus x470i motherboard? Or better suggestion/opinion. Thanks :thumbsup:

You have to wait. Maybe B450 but it isn't launched yet. If you can't wait, Asrock AB350 Fatality Gaming ITX/ac or X370 version. They are readily available but make sure BIOS is updated.

I see. Prolly wait for x470 then. Gonna do some OC . Thanks

Following the posted prices by both Tristan and Kristal, you could fit a 1080 inside your build if you choose. It would be faster than the 1070 ti you wanted.

Here is a build from Etech and KoolPC lelong

CPU: CORE I5 8400 (6C/6T) 692 - easyit2u
MOBO: Asrock B360M Pro4 323 - easyit2u / ATX Pro4 - 365
RAM: CRUCIAL D4 PC2400 CL17 8GB 351 - koolpc (closest is Kingston HyperX 2133 Cl14 which is slightly faster than the Crucial 358 - easyit2u. A 2400/ above at lower CL number would be ideal)
GPU: Zotac 1080 Mini 2246 - koolpc
HDD: Western Blue 155 - koolpc (170 easyit2u/ 159 western digital lazada)
PSU: Superflower Silver 301 - easyit2u
CASE: Cooler Master Masterbox E500L 179 easyit2u
Total: 4254 excluding shipping

A suggestion to get a lower price for a set is to buy everything except the GPU from Etech to get those set bonuses. KoolPC has a 2% discount if you deal with them directly instead of lelong so you could bring the GPU price lower (according to their lelong page)

Dear all,
Can suggest a rig for the following:

RM4,000~RM5,000

Purpose: VR, for demo purpose of a simple game

Main concern is GPU only, GTX 1060
The rest should be minimal as long as can support basic to medium level of VR gaming.
No need peripherals.

Chasis, the smaller the better for space saving, easier manage.

proc - i5 8400, RM700

mobo - gigabyte h370m-d3h, RM396

ram - Kingston 8gb ddr4, RM366

ssd m.2 - Kingston A1000 240gb, RM513

hdd - Seagate 2tb, RM233

psu - super flower leadex 550w silver, RM299

chassis - tecware nexus m, RM139

GC - gigabyte gtx 1070 8gb windforce, RM2169

total, RM4815

Hi friend. I see even the B360 motherboards there are a few varients. How to know which one is right for me? I will be playing games on it.

For H310 motherboard any suggestions?

Hi, dear sifus. Need your suggestions for building a gaming rig.

[Budget] RM4000 - RM5000

[Purpose] Mostly gaming,browsing,Youtube,movies

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None. Building a new one.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Mostly current games,W10,Office,

[Personal preferences] Budget above exclude monitor. Any decent >20" monitor will do.

[Location] Penang area

Feel free to suggest me anything.

msi h310m pro-vh is it got built in graphic?

Mobo: GIGABYTE X470 AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI (any better suggestion?)
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU : MSI GTX 1070 TI ARMOR 8G
RAM : G.Skill - Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (this good enough?)
SSD : Samsung 850 Evo 250gb
Casing : Fractal Define R5 silent
PSU : Corsair TX750M / EGVA SUPERNOVA 750W / SUPER FLOWER LEADEX 750W (which one more preferred?)
Cooler : Noctua NH-D15

Which item listed should i change for better value? Thanks.

[Personal preferences]
No need RGB, can last long more than 4 years above, prefer silent

The cooler is not necessary since the one come with the processor is good enough
As for the PSU, the super flower i guess?
Ya, the flare X is the one to go
I think so?

Motherboard: The ultra gaming is the same board but with less features and less RGB than the gaming 5. It is cheaper. You can opt for MSI Carbon Pro which has better VRM components for overclocking or top up for a Asus Strix which is better than both. You can also go for x370 boards for AMD since they just need a BIOS update. Ask the shop to help you.

GPU: GTX 1080 are in the same price bracket so you should opt for those instead. If you want silence, get one with dual fans since they run cooler and thus produce less noise.

Ram: Flare X is good enough.

SSD: Get the 860 Evo instead since they cost almost the same but the 860 uses MLC which is better.

Case: You can opt for the Bequiet cases. The trade off is that they are quieter but don't have as much flexibility as the R5; less water-cooling support or HDD/ SSD slots.

PSU: Superflower is good option.

Cooler: You can look at Bequiet Dark Rock Pro 3 too. It is quieter but loses to about 1-2 degrees on temperature.

Hello guys. Askiing for my friend

With budget around rm2600, Can he get Ryzen 2600 setup? No need storage, graphic card, monitor.

Only processor, mobo, ram and psu. Thanks

-Forget it-

-Really, just forget it-

Dear sifu,

This is my current mobo Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) and gpu gtx950 from zotac. What gpu I can max out on this mobo? This gpu can't eally keep up with some new game I wanna play. Not even low setting. Is RX480 a good choice?

Thanks

It's not the motherboard that restricts the GPU but the processor. What processor do you have? Also what ram do you have because it might be low ram too?

Overall, if you need a new GPU, what is your budget and what games do you play that is graphically intense?
