Noticed that you like to recommend Ryzen 7 1700. Not sure how it is compared to i7 7700k ?

In terms of stability ? I am sure Ryzen 7 1700 is faster than 7700k right ?

Whats the pro and cons for each processor ?

Is it really reliable? Saw it in Lazada too. How is it possible to sell for RM50. Retail price I guess around RM400++.

Ryzen 7-1700 Pros:
8 cores 16 threads (Should rollover i7-7700K when apps and games utilizes it)
Unlocked for overclocking (may require motherboards with better VRM and better heatsink)

Cons:
Low clock speed is bad for single thread performance
Slower for today's gaming performance

Core i7-7700K Pros:
Very high stock clock speed (Better for single threaded performance)
Intel optimized apps and games
Unlocked for overclocking (may require motherboards with better VRM and better heatsink)

Cons:
4 cores 8 threads

Caveat emptor

Guys need some recommendation. Around 3k is it possible to build a decent rig for streaming?

How about these?

Core i7-7700 - 1352
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - 449
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 x1 - 260
Samsung 850 Ev0 120GB - 286
Seagate 1TB - 212
Corsair VS 450W - 184
Thermaltake V3 case - 169

RM2912 total (C-Zone prices)

Supports Netflix 4k too.

Sorry I left out I want to live stream on YouTube and Twitch.

Yes, that should be fine. Unless it is gaming then it will be difficult.

[B][Budget] 4k+/-

[Purpose] Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Keyboard Mouse and peripherals.

[Monitor resolution] Full HD

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Overwatch

[Personal preferences] Monitor with 144hz such as BenQ XL2430, SSD, Windows10.

[Location] KL

Quite urgent, need this rig to be done before Friday as I will need to deliver it to Singapore.

This is a tough one, because an entry level BenQ 1080p 144Hz monitor will take ~1.3k already, and you need another RM 400+ for a 240GB SSD

If you only play Overwatch then you can save some money by going for GTX1050Ti instead of GTX1060 (or other equivalent cards).

Intel Core i5 7500 - RM 922
Asus H110M-K - RM 259

Hunt in Garage Sales for "cheap" Windows 10 key, beware of counterfeit code though.

Hi all,

Been out of the customizing game for far too long with work and whatnot so need some help here on upgrading my 8 year old rig. I'm looking to upgrade my rig for work.

[Budget] 2000-3000, perhaps even top up from selling my current rig (maybe about 1.5k more?)

[Purpose] I'm a creative director for an agency, so will need use Adobe's CC quite abit. Ill also need to run some serious Excel spreadsheets

[Games & software that use frequently] Adobe CC, LOTS of MS Office

[Personal preferences] Looking to get out of the world of AMD and dive into the i7 Kaby Lake and need suggestions on what i should change and what i can keep as i find my rig is not performing up to par and my SP4 is faster.

[Location] Setia Alam

My current build (about 8 years old now except for the mobo which i just changed last year) :
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
Heatsink: Thermalright TRUE Black
Mobo: ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
GC: Sapphire ATi hd4870
PSU: VANTEC 620C
Casing: Cooler Master HAF 932
RAM: Dont know what brand DDR3 1333 2GB X 2 and recently bought 1x ADATA Premier DDR3L 1600 8GB

No need for a monitor as i already have 2 and am happy with them.

Thanks in advance!

How about these?

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - 1599
MSI B350M Mortar - 480
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 x2 - 520
Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB DDR5 - 719
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB - 636
Reuse the rest of the parts

RM3954 total (C-Zone prices)

Optional:
Super Flower Leadex Gold 550W (high quality PSU) - 429

Much more powerful than your current and consumes significantly less power. You can find cheap Windows 10 Pro on lelong or Garage Sales.

But if you wanna insist on overpriced i7-7700K due to our distributors reluctant to drop the price, you can go for these

Core i7-7700K - 1579
Coolermaster Hyper 212X - 189 (not needed if your existing TRUE black has mounting for LGA 1156 or 1155)
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming K5 - 899
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 x2 - 520
Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB DDR5 - 719
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB - 636
Reuse the rest of the parts

Dear Sifus,

Thinking of upgrading my PC slowly. My PC current specs as below. I am thinking of changing the casing to a more low profile casing and also my PSU is it good enough to support my future use? Do i need to Upgrade my PSU?

ASUS P8Z77-V LX
Intel I5-3570k
Corsair Vengence 1600 8GB DDR3 Ram
Leadtek GTX6700
Corsair CX500 PSU
Aerocool Strike X ATX

Not exactly sure what you mean by "upgrade your PC slowly" but your current mobo is ATX so, what ever case you intend to change to must be capable of hosting ATX mobo. "small" ATX case to consider are Fractal Design Define C, NXZT S340, Corsair 400C. As for the 500W PSUfrom Corsair and based on the list of items you provided, is sufficient, no need to upgrade for now.

need a new mobo only...
[Budget] = 3k plus a bit.. less than 3.5k

[Purpose] = gaming...... gaming......

[Hardwares that will be re-use] = need extra slot for old hdd

[Monitor resolution] = reuse old

[Games & softwares that use frequently] = new game...

[Personal preferences] = intel board

[Location] = kl

thanks sifu...

This is so confusing. Will give it a try assuming your old monitor is 1980x1080:

CPU - CORE I5 7500 RM880
MOBO - ASUS H110M-K RM279
RAM - 1 x 8Gb KINGSTON D4 PC2133 RM265
SSD - SAMSUNG 850 EVO 120GB RM286
HDD - Re-use
GPU - GIGABYTE GTX1060 6G D5 WINDFORCE RM1385
PSU - Silverstone ES230 600W RM249
Case - Techware F3 RM124

Total - RM3468 based on C-zone price
