You can only get 23"/24" Full HD IPS with that...

New 1440p monitor costs more than 1k at the moment

2 choices: i5 or Ryzen 5. If your "editing" includes video editing then Ryzen 5 with more cores & threads will certainly benefit you more.

GTX1070/1080/1080Ti/Titan XP/Xp are recommended to pair with i7, i5 bottlenecks them unfortunately in some CPU demanding titles.

And about the monitor, IPS with 6ms ok for you? Your budget is a bit hard to fit a 1440p gaming monitor except the Dell S2417DG (but I heard there are some pixel inversion issues in the early batch, need to check properly before purchase).

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1421
Gigabyte H270-HD3 - RM 519
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 550
Gigabyte GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 G1 Gaming - RM 2099
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 464
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
EVGA SuperNova 550 G2 - RM 459
TP-LINK ARCHER T9E AC1900 PCIe WiFi Dual Band - RM 206
Dell UltraSharp U2715H IPS - RM 2089

Total: RM 8026 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

What about mobo and ram? Can Ryzen 5 fit into my budget for all?

EDIT: Only found one thread selling Ryzen 5. Tried check around forum and lowyat but don't sell anymore.

Can, Ryzen is having a much lower price tag per core/thread count to beat Intel's pricing after all.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (6C12T 3.4G/3.6G) - RM 1019
ASRock AB350 Pro4 - RM 469 (ATX)
MSI B350M Gaming Pro - RM 435 (mATX)
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 550

Total up will be around 2k (price from Techview).

Which benefit me most in terms of all round since I'm doing editing and gaming at the same time?

If you do not plan to overclock, both are about the same.
So pick which features/design of the motherboard that you like
Check Lelong too.. Plenty of sellers selling ryzen 5..

Rig Upgrade
[Budget] RM1k-1.5k can make to 2k if worth

[Purpose] Gaming & Streaming maybe minor editing

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
GPU (for now la waiting for Vega/Polaris 20), Storage, Case, KBM & maybe PSU n RAM

[Monitor resolution] 1080p60fps

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Overwatch, BF1 & a few other AAA title

[Personal preferences]best bang for buck. I dont mind playing at mid-low setting

[Location] Shah Alam

current rig is
i3 3220
B75M-DGS
RX460 4GB
8GB
250GB(S) + 1TB(H)
Hexa 500w (should I change it? cos is 4 years already)
Case I forget is like a mid tower I think. I can put like 5 extra slot for PCIE things.

should I upgrade to i7 3770/2600 or change to Ryzen 5?

Guys can you recommend one desktop setup for just general use purpose (excel, accounting system, youtube, internet browsing etc). Setup excludes monitor, softwares. Also, no GPU is required since it is for general use only.

Pricing of what I had in mind
Casing : RM180
CPU : Ryzen 5 1400 RM800
MOBO (A320) : RM250
PSU : RM180
DVD: RM60
HDD (1TB): RM200

Any suggestion of which brand or any other better alternatives to get, thanks!

Ryzen 5 1400 doesn't have IGP. In this case, get Pentium G4560 platform. With the extra money, you can get a SSD.

All the Ryzen lineup doesn't have an Intergrated Graphics Processor? Is it still good to go back to an I5 setup in this case considering the Ryzen good price to performance ratio?

Hi everyone, want to build a pc special for gaming.
Budget : 10k (including x2 monitor, led gaming mouse pad, cooling, mouse, keyboard and speaker )
Reuse hardware : non
Thank you

Btw, is 10k enough to add on a gaming desk with a gaming chair? I can add on another 2k

thanks, seems ETECH price is pretty competitive hmm.

is wireless AC needed for TIME? can save with N900 TPLINK TL-WDN4800 instead? only 1 PC using wifi mostly..

also is 25" U2515H (AH-IPS)2560x1440/8ms (RM1339) good?

RGB stuff will cost more. How about these?

Core i7-7700K - 1574
Coolermaster Hyper 212X - 189
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming K5 - 899
GSkill 3000C16 TRIDENT Z RGB (16GB) - 753

Super Flower Leadex Gold 750W - 549
Thermaltake CORE X31 RGB Case - 549
Corsair K70 LUX RGB keyboard - 688
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum mouse - 369
Acer R241Y 23.8" monitor X2 (you might wanna go the shop and choose) - 1298 (from Viewnet)

RM10562 total (C-Zone prices)

For AMD setup, switch these 2:
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - 1599
Gigabyte AX370 GAMING 5 - 1029

Balance use it for gaming accessories. Don't know much about it.

Thanks, but i prefer 1x 24inch and 1x acer predator.
Which one do you think I can cut off for addition budget to get predator?

Bump budget up to 6000 what monitor can get?

Yeah, Acer XB241H is RM1999. You can go value RAM to save you around 200, 1TB hard disk will cut additional 100. There might be cheaper RGB case but I suggest you go to the shop and ask for suggestions.

I forgot about speakers. Do you prefer 2 or 4 speakers?

oh thank you so much
4 would be better...
Since I like the sound louder, that's why I didn't pick headphone.
