Looks good, thanks. If I am able to add a bit more to my budget, should I be getting an i7-8700 instead? Or is it an overkill?

Yes, it will help increase performance gaming at 2k/4k. It is not overkill.

i7 is not overkill for high end GPUs. It reduces the bottleneck. Bottleneck shifts to the GPU on higher resolution though.

Also, i7-8700 requires a RM150ish cooler. Stock cooler is crap.

Yes, but at the budget given, it is hard to justify the i5-8400, unless getting the GT1030 GPU for his gaming needs. He still wants to fit multiple monitors into the budget, I think.

And opening heavy files is not the same as performing calculations such as the Monte Carlo simulations, right? Thus the 16GB RAM but 4 cores selection.

When my dad gave me the desktop he gave me the monitor mouse keyboard and the dongle for wifi as well. So i dont need to buy those. I just need to get 1 more monitor. So i5 better?

Hi guys, my customized pc was last build on 2012 and it is dying 
So needed a replacement that can last up to 4-5 years

[Budget] 7k max

[Purpose] Gaming & VR ready

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Mouse & keyboard

[Monitor resolution] 1080p 60hz/144hz dual monitor

[Games & softwares that will be use frequently] SC2 & VR

[Personal preferences] Simple case, is NZXT H700i overkill?

[Location] KL

Thanks a bunch

Your budget barely enough to put VR setup recommended settings. Super expensive casing is no no.

Hi TristanX,

Sapphire RX 570 4GB Pulse ITX - 650 (from C-Zone)

where to get this? Rm650?

oh? Last i saw was 1k++.  Why the price droppping? I;m interested. 

hi, I am looking at building desktop for development python, / Hadoop / data science student kind of stuff.
Build from scratch. except screen and keyboard/mouse
Budget 2.5 K
Thx in advance

I plan to build a new PC

Ryzen 5 2600
Asrock b450m Pro
Asus cerebrus gtx 1070ti (2nd hand)
Kingston hyper x fury 8gb 2666hz x 2
Coolermaster MWE 500w
Kingston SSD 480gb
Coolermaster A300Ql (Casing)

Hi, i just finish build up my new rig
Installed windows 10 and all the drivers
Can play AAA game at ultra settings all games
The problem now is, sometimes the window freeze
Almost every 10 mins, the window freeze
And sometimes when i start the rig, it stucks at the asrock logo
Unable to press the setup or bios
What is the problem with my rig?

If thats Kingston A400, thats SSD with no DRAM cache issue. You get stutters that is worse than hard disk when the load is elevated.

I told the whole world to avoid DRAMless SSDs. Especially when it is primary disk for OS.

Yes. It is A400
Yes. It is primary disk for my os
Ouch. Now i see the issue
So i should get better ssd or m.2 for my primary os
But i will keep my games/movies in the ssd
Is it ok?

That is an old LGA 775 board... so it will be using DDR2

The only thing worth reusing is the casing and MAYBE the HDD if still in good shape (run proper testing... could be close to end of life)

Just go with

i3-8100 (499)
GIGABYTE B360M-D2V (339)
16GB DDR4-2400 (500)
SAPPHIRE RX570 4G PULSE ITX  (650) *Better than GTX1050Ti at this price point
SAMSUNG 860 EVO 250GB (260)
FSP HEXA+ 500W (159)

Then get monitors with your remaining sum
Note: i5-8400 is around RM 799, probably overkill for your needs.

==========================

Alternatively using Ryzen 2400G and no GPU

Ryzen 5 2400G (599)
PRIME A320M-K (219)
KINGSTON D4 PC3200 HYPERX 16GB (610) *Check compatibility
SAMSUNG 860 EVO 250GB (260)
FSP HEXA+ 500W (159)

Total RM 1850
