hello sifu...
need suggestion ,
budget 1k-1.1k , any tips? for office use , if can for daily usage smooth and silky , sometimes open alot tab + youtube. tq

Processor
mobo
ram
ssd - 120/128gb

But based on ur experience is there any disadvantage for having everything so compact in a small case? Do u recommend to do so? Or safer to just go for the 120mm?

Disadvantage of small cases:

1. Small space to work with
-Changing and maintaining parts (cleaning fans, radiators, etc)
-Cable management
-Limited GPU that can fit
-Reduced space for HDDs

2. Ventilation issues due to packing many things inside that space, eg unused cables hanging around
-Even if you AIO for CPU, GPU needs to be cooled and that requires good ventilation

3. Limited choices of PSU that would fit well
-There are some good models around but would be pricey also la
-Installation in some cases may require dismantling a lot of parts

4. Noise
-Lack of noise dampening structures for small compact casing
-Not too bad if you have headphones

5. Limiting size of motherboards
-may lose out on some features
-Cost more for ITX

Asking too much for the budget. Unless you could get the distributor to lower their prices

Hi Sifu,

Edited to 4-5k.

Sorry I know it's a bit too much to ask. Up for a challenge? Haha

Cheers

Hi sifu,

need replacement suggestion on my 5 years old PC tower, where's LowYat ViewNet's technician diagnosed my motherboard got problem.
and motherboard that support AMD is no longer available.

my old PC spec as below:

PROCESSOR AMD AM3+ X8 FX8320 3.5GHZ
MAINBOARD ASROCK AMD AM3+ 980DE3/U3S3
KINGSTON DESKTOP DDR3 HYPER-X 2X 8GB PC1600
SSD PLEXTOR SATA III 2.5" 128GB
VGA SAPPHIRE PCIE ATI 7850 2GB DDR5 256BIT DUAL-X
POWER SUPPLY SILVERSTONE STRIDER ESSENTIAL 600W
COOLER CPU COOLER MASTER HYPER 412 SLIM
CASING COOLER MASTER ATX K350 USD3.0

my usage would be normal surfing, office works, netflix, n some online virtual cycling games ( Zwift, should be light games)

technician suggest replacement on:
motherboard, processor (intel), RAM (my old RAM no longer can support in new motherboard?) & power supply

Budget: 1K+ (doable if take out games element?)

Any CPU today will rollover your FX 8320. Budget? Not so much

Core i3-8100 - 479
Gigabyte H310M-S2 - 259
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 - 260

Thanks

Will 16GB RAM overkills for office processing, online steaming?
The technician mentioned my power supply model sort of problematic, suggest to replace as well.

Light use is overkill.

For the power supply, I highly recommend getting high grade ones so it can last. Corsair TX650M is the best bang for the buck.

https://www.lelong.com.my/corsair-power-sup...7-01-Sale-I.htm

Thanks
Will go LowYat plaza and get replacement

Without graphic card, I still able to run some online games right ?

Yes, i3-8100 has built-in GPU. I recommend 4GB DDR-2666 X2 for slightly more money as built-in GPU loves dual channel.

Does anyone still carry 1080TIs or people just dont sell them anymore? I'm keen in building a rig with a 1080 than a 2080.

There are plenty of them in Lelong/Shopee/Lazada.
