Only temporary. I will upgrade when i have the money.

Actually z370 is top end chipset which aim towards the 8700K and 8600k chips
As for your 8400, a B360 board is more than enough for it and half the price of the motherboard u opt for.
Or u plan to buy a 8600k/8700k/8086k in the future?

You have a few options to think about.

Dell P2418D 24 inch monitor with 1440p resolution at 929 (Dell). You get a qHD resolution which lets you have more space on the screen for production. Its an IPS screen so colours and viewing angles are great. However the drawback is that you would get lower response time since it is an IPS 60hz monitor.

Dell S2719H 27 inch at 1080p for 949 (Dell). You get 27inches but at 1080p. Bigger real estate to view but smaller resolution.

Dell U2417H 24 inch 1080p monitor for 969 (Dell) meant for photo editing and etc. This monitor should be excellent for colour reproduciton and editing but has a lower resolution, low reponse time and screen space; it won't be as good for FPS.

Small excerpt on the different models


LG 29UM59A 29 inch 75hz 2580x1080 for 750 (Lelong). You get an ultrawide resolution which gives more horizontal space to view your editing and work. It allows you to have more tabs and windows open at once and gives you more real estate in FPS games to see the enemies without moving the screen as much. It's 75hz so a lot smoother than a standard 60hz and it is IPS so colours would be a tad better but may not be in the range of photo editing.

Acer ED273 1080p VA 144hz panel for 579 (Lazada). The colours are not as good as an IPS but black are darker due to the increase contrast ratio of 3000. The response time is faster than the IPS at 4ms but still slower than a normal TN so it won't be as good in game.

Viewsonic Vx2757mhd 1080p 75hz TN panel for 700 (Lelong). The contrast ratio is recorded as 1000 and above in some reviews so the colours would be sufficient but may not be as good as the VA or IPS panels. It has low response time so less lag in game.

Viewsonic Xg2402 1080p 144hz TN for 900 (Shopee). This has good colours for a TN screen and has 144hz so no problems in FPS.

Just need recommendation for PSU, Casing and monitor. Preferably all those stuff readily available in lowyat cause I'm going there today. Thanks.

hai
i dono where can i ask this question
im applying computer loan for goverment servant,which needs me to provide official quotation from registered company
anyone can help me with this?

Seeking advice from sifus here.

Its been a long time i did not build a custom cpu.. now i want to build one for the purpose of: 1. As my data storage, 2. As a processing workhorse for my work data analysis

To build a cpu from used spare parts, how much do you think it will costs for below requirements:

1. CPU: intel i7 (4 cores) clocked at least >2.0ghz
2. 8gb ram
3. Graphic card: decent, i wont play game on this, just need a card that can serve the monitor modestly
4. Motherboard that can accommodate item 1-3 above
5. Power supply, a decent and reliable one. I dont want to risk the cpu blow up obviously bcoz i will keep data in it
6. Hard drive, a small but efficient one is enough.. most data will be stored in my external
7. A simply casing but enought to efficiently accommodate the above

How much these will totally cost? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi sifu,

Quick Question:

should i go for 16 gb ram for gaming purpose or stick to 8gb?

CD/DVD writer nowadays needed or not?

THX.

looking to build a budget pc to run dota 2, csgo high settings 60fps. if that makes sense.

budget below rm3k. lower the better. will upgrade pc parts in the future..

right now life is so boring without gaming but at the same time ayam not a richfag to build a powderful gaming pc to play pubg. csgo/dota 2 pun jadilah

btw want to ask if unifi lite internet is good to play online games?

Hi,

What is the maximum value for specs i can get for RM10K gaming PC including monitor?

woww this one nice

What do you use it for or how do you want to allocate your money. 8k desktop, 1.5k monitor, 500 kb and mouse? You can go up to 8k just on the monitor itself.

You could top up an extra 100 for Viewsonic vx2457mhd for 75hz for a budget

nice. thank you very much bro

hi guys, iv got a budget of around 5.5k to build a pc (tower only) to be used primarily for gaming.

so far this is what im thinking about building is:
gigabyte ab350-gaming 3
ryzen 5 2600x
g.skill trident z 16GB 3200
galax gtx 1070 ti
super flower leadex silver 550w
evo 860 240gb
3tb hdd
segotep k7
(about 5.5k)

i)if there can be optimizations anywhere feel free to criticize
ii)would an intel build be a better for gaming? they do tend to have better performance running single cores.
iii)is there any way to get a m-itx mobo for a ryzen build (actually would prefer a tiny machine but if i cannot get it compact, ill just go atx)
iv)not sure if the 3200hz ram would be of much benefit tbh(the board is suppose to be able run it at speeds)
v)if i were to stick with ryzen, would the B350 perform about as well as an X370 or X470? (stuck with the b350 cause its cheaper and i dont think i need the extra slots or sli compatibility)
