Hi all sifu here, thinking to buy a new desktop pc purposely for office usage. It's just used to run softwares like Microsoft Office, online... as long as just for basic usage. If my budget is RM1.5k, please build me the spec, excluding mouse, keyboard,speaker, monitor. Prefer Intel cpu. Of course, the lowest cost, the better!!!

How about these?

Pentium G4560 - 249
Asus H110M-K - 279
Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 - 260
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 212
Corsair VS 450W - 184
Tecware F3 case - 124

RM1308 total (C-Zone prices)

Wait? Ryzen 5 is out a week ago.

Thanks man!!

Thanks man!!

All major retailers have Ryzen 5 in stock already.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - RM 1039 SRP
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 - RM 819 SRP

AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and 1500X will arrive later.

Yep, look for previous generation chipset like H110/B150/H170.

But i5 4460 is running on LGA1150 socket so you cannot fit it on a LGA1151 mobo.

hi terence_nwb

how do u check if mobo is compatible with gpu or not? since u said mine can just upgrade rx480 without changing any parts, can i still go with rx 580? saw the price it's quite affordable.

It is supported as long as the mobo comes with PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (2.0 is ok too) and yes your mobo does come with PCIe 3.0 x16 slot so you can upgrade to any modern GPU in the market now without changing your existing mobo.

ok thanks!

hello again guys.. My bro just asking me about build a new pc or just upgrade some parts in his PC. I have no idea since so long didnt follow about PC news can u guys help me so i can suggest him a better option :-

This is his Wood PC Spec :-


Proc : Intel Core i5 CPU 760@2.80Ghz 2.79Ghz
Socket 1156 LGA
Mainboard : Gigabyte H55m-S2
Ram : DDR3 10 GB ( 8GB+2GB)
Storage : 750 GB
PSU : Cooler Master 650w 80+
GPU : GTX 470 JUST BURNED last month so now using Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS (Temporrary GFX)
Monitor : Samsung SyncMaster B2230


He normally play games like DOTA2, Street fighter V, Diablo III and CS GO. And he also doing some editing with Adobe Lightroom and Video Editing with Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas.
Should he build a new PC or should he upgrade some parts like new GFX, Add Ram or Add SSD ? if yes pls suggest which model and how much will be the cost is. and yes if build a new PC how much the cost it will be at least can steady around 5 years later

Getting GTX 1050 will significantly consume less power and more performance than GTX470. Should be around RM600 for it, Ti version is more powerful but it is RM100 more too.

RAM should still last for the rig. Adding ssd definitely will improve Windows experience and it will cost around 250-300 for 120GB.

Touching the CPU will involve motherboard and RAM. If there is no performance issues, I suggest you stick with it.

It's up to your own personal preferences, they are equally good in my opinion, just get the one that you like the most in terms of design, card cooling performance as well as pricing etc.

Thanks guys, so far no itx board for Ryzen yet, will wait a little while more

hi all,,

saw youtube video showing ryzen can only support ddr4 and max freq 2400Mhz?

DDR4 only: Yes.

Max frequency 2400MHz: Not entirely, stock speed is 2400MHz (min achievable speed), some higher end Ryzen CPU do support 2666MHz natively, but RAM overclocking on Ryzen is still lagging behind Intel's capability.

Ryzen officially support DDR4 2133, 2400 and 2666, higher than that need oc, and it is depend on your motherboard and ram quality.
