Acer will have better colour cause it's VA panel. Having said that, 1050ti isn't enough to push demanding titles to 144hz. You could opt for 8GB ram only and get a 1060 6gb instead.

Thank you very much. Yes my budget is without monitor. I will first sell my old monitor (BenQ EW2440) and add some money for new 144hz monitor.

your price quotation is from which shop if I may ask? Because I searched these items at shopee and there is far cheaper. I can save some money from there.

In between, tecware nexus and edge, is nexus is nicer?

The prices are based on E Tech PC in Kepong and they are just a reference. If you find any cheaper prices else where, feel free to get it from there biggrin.gif

Nexus has a tad bit of better airflow compared to edge.

Anyway, thank you so much for your help! Will use this as my reference!

The second one seems reasonable enough to run 3440x1440. I see a forummer saying it’s not recommended to buy Mini GPU because of heat, is it true?

Yes it is. Minis will run hotter compared to normal dual fan cards. Having said that, they are still a good budget card which you can limit the temps through programs.

How bout the same spec but in Mini atx? Also i don’t mind spend extra 100-200 for a Gigabyte WF 1070Ti.

Hi guys,

Looking at getting a NVIDIA GTX1060 6GB.

Between Asus, Gigabyte and MSI, which brand would be the better choice? (Performance wise and noise-wise). Now im looking at either Gigabyte G1, Asus Strix or Asus Dual.

Thanks!

Are you waiting for the new gen to upgrade your GPU? If no, then you should upgrade your GPU first to at least a 1070Ti as that will give you a better performance boost. Your CPU is still a pretty good one for gaming.

Yes you can also get an AIO / air cooler to overclock your CPU to have some extra performance (though it won't be much). I'm not sure how RAM hungry your engineering software is but you can also lookout for a used DDR3 8GB to add on as that might be useful.

If new gen GPU will be launch soon might as well just wait for it. Guess I will just add another ram stick and an AIO / air cooler. Thanks!

Strix OC hands down. It's the other way bruh, 3 fans = less noise cause better cooling as compared 2 fans only. Strix 3 fans GPUs usually won't go pass 70c. biggrin.gif

haha, i see. Thank a lot for the help laugh.gif

Thats entirely up to you. The difference will be SATA ports, USB ports and video connectors. I suggest checking Gigabyte's website for the spec.

With that budget you could perhaps get i3 8100 and 1050ti. Any parts that you can reuse? Or you're gonna build from scratch?
