Hi Sifus,

I am currently considering to upgrade my PC again. Main component to change is the CPU, Motherboard, RAM & casing. Component to reuse is the PSU, GPU, CPU Cooler, HD & SSD. I have think of a few option

Reuse part
GPU - ASUS GTX 1060 6gb
PSU - Corsair CX750M
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 (Fan need to be change)
SSD - Samsung 850 evo (250gb)
HD - 3 x 3.5" HDD.

CPU - Intel I5-8600 879
Motherboard - ASUS TUF H370 PRO GAMING (575) / ASUS PRIME Z370-P (599) / ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-H GAMING (789) / GIGABYTE H370 AORUS GAMING 3 (559) / GIGABYTE Z370-HD3 (639) / GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS ULTRA GAMING (749).
RAM - Corsair 2666 VENGEANCE CMR RGB (805) / Corsair 3200 VENGEANCE CMR RGB (859)
Casing - Phanteks Eclipse P400s (379) / NZXT H440 (499) / NZXT H500I (479) / Fractal Design Define R5 (462)

I will also need some extra fans depending on the type of casing I finally decide.

My budget i hope that it can be control at 2500 to 3000.

The Casing i am looking for case that can put in more at least 3 3.5" HDD and must be with smooth and low profile design. Don't want too bombastic design.

Hope to have good comment here.

All the casings these days are good. Aesthetics are entirely you. If you want smaller, ITX is the way to go.

I want to buy PSU that can support games like CSGO. current psu is going to kaput soon cause pc will shut down without warning when gaming

my rig (at kampung)
CPU: AMD A8-5600K
Mobo: Gigabyte FM2 socket (forget what model)
Ram: 2x 8gb DDR3 1600
GPU: powercolor R7 360

current psu (500W 80+ forget what brand) is around 9 years old (bought second hand, so more than 9 years old)

Thanks

coolermaster mwe 500w, will suit you..

If you want something that last longer, Corsair TX 650M at RM379. Or Super Flower Leadex II Gold 550W at around RM400.

Not going for iTX. i want a mid tower. Any suggestion from you?

Sorry but why is it H370 is already enough for I5-8600? I5-8600 cannot support higher clockspeed RAM? Should i choose ROG Strix or just TUF enough? I worried whether the H500i clearance is enough for CM Hyper 212. Sorry not so knowing about all this.

Forgot to mention, what kind of fan should i choose. there are so many option in the market with a very wide price range.

Try looking for Coolermaster HAF XB.

Thanks. Will look into it

Yes, I want it to last as long as possible but my pocket won't permit it, unfortunately☹️

Wish can get decent psu at RM200-250

The parts and build quality inside the PSU comes at a price. Japanese capacitors isnt cheap.

Hi Kristal, thanks for the advices. It helps me to make my decision very well.

Yeah, I know

Thanks for the info on the SSD, Lelong indeed has cheaper pc parts, even after include shipping fee for some.

I have some questions in my mind, is the above suggested spec enough for "future proofing" ?

If not , do you think GTX 1070 enough for "future proofing" and worth top up ?

What are the parts needed to pair with GTX 1070, will there be big difference from above spec ? and how much top up needed ?

Sorry for asking so much, just want to get more info and opinion before make decision. thanks again.

Hi, much appreciate a hardware recommendation for the following :-

[Budget] RM3000 - 3500

[Purpose] General gaming / surfing

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor, PC Casing (Full sized), Keyboard and Mouse

[Monitor resolution] 1920 x 1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Various games, including 3D games

[Personal preferences] Will be running the PC at stock. Uncle already, no time to tinker with settings and overclock. Area where the PC is placed is not air-conditioned, thus, preferably not a PC that runs too hot.


Thanks!

Am curious.. I see recommendations for both Intel and AMD CPU. In what scenario, one would be more suitable than the other?

Cheers

hi sifus,

not sure current rig can tahan how long. soplanning to do some upgrade before sst hits.
current setup as below

i5-3470
Gigabyte b75m-D3V
radeon rx560
DDR 3 8G
seagate 1 TB


from that id be guessing instead of upgrade it will be better to get a new rig right? the only thing i will be reusing is the GPU as i just bought it few months ago ( good enough?)
budget RM 2k not including GPU (if GPU needs to be upgrade i can top up)
