For lappie its okay. Just get another exact one and you can get dual channel memory

It will prolly help a bit on average FPS but check out the 1% & 0.1% lows, higher means ur games will be smoother.

Yo whats up with the Ultra Ex120 lately? No more PA/PS 120/SE stocks?

Such an old cooler (it has support for LGA775 LOL!) and doesnt seem on the website it supports LGA1700 but pricing still topkek better go for more modern SE225XT or SE226XT with better thermal headroom.

Colorful is the better brands coming out from China with some longterm presence in Europe. They are also OEM to some of the better well known brands from Taiwan/USA. Their standard lineup is very good for the money whilst their igame & Vulcan lineup is comparable to Asus TUF & ROG level of insanely specced.

Another is prolly Galax, as their stuff are often used in WR OCing.

Manli is another lesser known but decent OEM brand in China. But lately their stuff seem to have dried up in market.

All casing is a bit of a stretch with its >160mm height. To fit even maxi SFX casing, tower coolers has to be <155mm ie Mugen 5 (154.5mm) SE226 & 225 (154mm)

IMHO this is a dinosaur from Core2 era, i think ur dealer is trying to make you 'eat' their old unsold stocks leh.

Whatmore for such an ancient design the pricing is truly topkek for asking top dollars. It should not be more than RM160. Sorry to say but for that money can ady get dual tower AK620 with far far better performance

5k these days are not a lot of money. Will need to use a lot of previous gen parts. If you need to fit in a GPU, try play around with these specs

CPU 13700F / 14700F (will come in Jan 2024)
MOBO MSI B660M-A DDR4
RAM 32GB (16x2) Corsair vengeance 3200 DDR4
GPU RX6700XT / RX6750XT / RX7700XT (or RTX 4070 if budget can still fit. 7800XT pun boleh but then will need to up the PSU to 750/850W Gold)
SSD 1TB either S70 Blade / Legend 960 / KC3000
PSU MSI MAG A650BN / FSP HVPRO 650W
Case Tecware Nexus Air / Montech Air 1000 (both ATX casing)
or else Nexus Air M2/Forge / Montech Air 100 (MATX casing)

Monitor not included the budget otherwise can only get office/productivity type cheapo monitors.

This will also work for you twkidd

Online still can find but yeah prolly dealer channel ady stop selling. Pro B760m-A is just the updated one, still gooding.

PS I forgot to add cooler, but actually can use the Intel stock cooler if budget no more dy later can upgrade to big beefy towers Mugen5, SE226XT, or PA/PS120 /SE and then can unlock PL1 cap.

If can afford up to rm500 for PSU then its either Core Reactor or Hydro GPro. Both are Tier A actually but Im leaning to the Hydro as its made inhouse by FSP while Adata subcontracts to an OEM for their PSU and you might not know what funky thing they change inside.

FYI Dagger Pro is for SFX case. Perf not really an issue but often they have smaller cases and fan so PSU cooling is a bit lower. If ur getting a ATX/MATX case it might not fit (too small if the case not support SFX PSU).

Just give a budget and let sifu Myway quote you. Will kick all these prebuild asses with poor spec parts.

How many tereds you wanna ask this? Rule of thumb when getting used, if you dont mind getting burnt then go ahead, if buy today kaputs next week, then make sure you got money to buy a new GPU or else just make sure you got a CPU with igpu & mobo to output video so you can still use ur PC while saving money to buy a new one.

If you keep to this same budget (rm9k) and topup just measly rm50, you can change out that 4070ti for a rx7900XT

Tenkiu PMX! No wait it should be tenkiu rakyats for choosing PMX!

Oso DDR5 performance gap can only be seen at 1080P. At 4K its basically the same.

Crappy ringgit (plus tax hike) is TOTALLY our issue.

I didnt say things would have been better under PN. Plus PN isnt the only other choice

World is a mess but some countries are doing much better at weathering it (look south, look north). Anyhow I have filled my DRAM needs (4x sticks) and stocked my SSD+storage needs for the foreseeable future. Will only left one M2 slot open for the next big change.

Yes I would add the chorus to all to buy RAM & SSD as DRAM & NAND chip prices have started trending higher with the stock cuts started since last month.

In general looking at this year, whatever price reduction happening elsewhere have been countered with our falling RM so you dont see any price decrease which is bad becoz these 2 parts prices are rising again so the effect on local price hikes will be more drastic than just 6 -> 8% tax hike.

If going to build next year, I see a narrow sweetspot in whole of March 2024, when new 14th Core nonK has ady launched (mid Jan) and RTX Supers too (end-Jan to mid-Feb), these would replace the current gen so there are going to be good deals for previous gen parts plus just prior to tax hike rise. But since this window is so small, in general just try to get one right after these launches will do.

As for ur lappy i suspect something else is throttling ur system, most likely heat, and generally lappy parts are one tier below desktop spec so dont expect it to perform same as others

This from Myway is ur best option today (dont have to be all white as it was for another person)
i5-14600KF RM1,399.00
MSI z790 P wifi D4 RM1099
32GB 3600mhz kingston fury white rgb RM499.00
1TB KC3000 RM400.00
SApphire RX7800XT Pure (white) RM2999
1st player steampunk 850 gold RM399.00
thermalright frozen vision 360 white RM699.00
CM h500P White RM399
RM7893

But if for next year build;
14600K swap with 14700 nonK (8Pcores is now reco spec for AAA games) *no need bother with Ksku OCing stuff*
Z790 swap with B760M-A Wifi (same series but lower B760 chipset)
3600 DDR4 swap with 3200 (lower speed cuz nonK IMC cannot hit 3600 on XMP)
frozen vision 360 swap with PA/PS 120/SE (nonK no need AIO and no worries on pump failure)
Whatever budget saved push all to GPU RX7800XT(min)/4070Ti or RX7900XT/4080(if budget can still fit)

K got igpu
KF is w/o igpu so u need a GPU card.

Why not? GPU is GPU, CPU is CPU.

BTW if ur not OCing, going Ksku is kinda pointless.

Knowing the difference meant getting what your paying for or else overpaying for something your not gonna use.

As for your GPU brands question you can also refer this
