Intel Core i5 7500 - RM 919
Asus H110M-K - RM 279
Apacer 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz Value RAM - RM 518
Transcend 220 120GB SSD - RM 259
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Corsair VS450 - RM 189
ATX/mATX casing ~ around RM 120

Total up will be around 2.5k (Viewnet price)

Guys, how about gtx 1070 card built with i5 (kaby lake series) along with a 27-32 inch monitor preferably with G-Sync and ultra wide if possible . Budget including monitor around RM7k. Is it doable? Usage : abit of photoshop plus online gaming at ultra high setting with 1080 / 1440 resolution.

Don't go with i5 if you are going to build a rig based on GTX1070, the i5 bottlenecks the GTX1070 in some CPU demanding titles.

Ultrawide GSync enabled monitor costs around 4k+, GTX1070 costs ~2k, so it is not possible at the moment with the amount of budget you have. If you can settle with 1080p TN GSync monitor then it is possible though.

alright then how about i7 with GTX1070 with IPS G-Synch monitor? (G-synch won't necessary important for me as I wont be going for competitive gaming) mostly for leisure.

Is the amd build a cheaper option with the same performance and reliability??

hye. wanna ask. im using asus h110m-k with avexir core series ram on 1st slot. will it fit if i want to use id-cooling dk-03 halo HSF ????

gtx1070 OC, 32 inch curved acer predator ips, your money just finish buying monitor and gfx card.

LOL

No AMD GPU that can match the performance of GTX1070 yet and GTX1070 is somehow slower when pairing with Ryzen CPU at the moment so Intel + Nvidia build is still more preferred currently.

There isn't any 1080p IPS GSync monitor in Malaysia yet, the cheapest 1440p IPS GSync is ViewSonic XG2703-GS which costs 3.3k now.

Rig only:

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1397
Gigabyte H270-HD3 - RM 515
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 570
Gigabyte GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 G1 Gaming - RM 2099
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 474
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
EVGA SuperNova 550 G2 - RM 459
Tecware Alpha - RM 229

Total: RM 5962 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

Checked the dimension, seems okay, better bring the board to the shop to confirm.

Hi all, liked to get the gaming desktop under budget 4-5k . no need speaker and monitor. Please advise & recommend the rigs Thanks !!!

Hmm this spec together with Dell U2715H monitor will be just nice right?

Assuming that your monitor resolution is 1080p.

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1397
ASRock B250 Pro4 - RM 449
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 285
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 AMP! SE - RM 1348
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 474
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
EVGA SuperNova 550 G2 - RM 459
Tecware Alpha - RM 229

Total: RM 4860 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

There is a new GTX1060 variant which spots a faster GDDR5 memory module (9 GT/s vs 8 GT/s), not sure if it has arrived in Malaysia or not yet, you may wait for it if you want. Another GPU choice is RX580 8GB, the performance of RX580 8GB and GTX1060 6GB is almost identical (some favor one another) so it depends on you which path to go, GTX1060 wins in power efficiency and cooling whereas RX580 wins in DX12/Vulkan titles and the extra 2GB memory. Same goes to CPU choice, AMD Ryzen build is also possible but if you are going to use the rig for gaming only then Intel is still more preferred.

Yea that's a nice combo, good IPS monitor from Dell, but bear in mind that some people might argue that the 6ms/8ms response time of that Dell monitor is not suitable for gaming, trust me, if you don't play any fast pace games or have a pair of "eagle" eyes then it is completely fine, I do use my U2417H (8ms) for gaming too and I don't find any problem with it, the super thin bezel of Dell UltraSharp monitor is just too nice

Final

MSI RX580 GAMING X 8GB - RM1295
RYZEN 5 1600 - RM1039
ASROCK AB350 GAMING K4 - RM519
KINGSTON HYPER FURY 2400MHZ 8GB - RM340
EVGA 500B PSU - RM259
NZXT S430 - RM399

TOTAL - RM3851 (ActiveLansing JB)

My final built. Anything wrong with it. Will be gaming on 1080p. Please comment based on your taste. More opinion will improve it.

got sandisk 240gb ssd to let go. budget rig builder can check my garage sale. thx.

Thanks for recommendation

Hi!

Thinking of building gaming PC with this spec:

ASROCK H270M PRO4 SOCKET 1151 MAINBOARD - RM503
INTEL CORE I5-7500 - RM888
ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW 240L - RM305
G.SKILL RIPJAWS V SERIES 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 2400MHZ - RM580
INTEL 600P SERIES M.2 PCIE 3.0 X4 256GB - RM480
GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1060 WINDFORCE 6G - RM 1320
CORSAIR CX650M SEMI-MODULAR 80 PLUS BRONZE - RM360
TECWARE QUAD TRIPLE WINDOW MINI CUBE CHASSIS (WHITE) - RM185

All from Etechpc.. Total around RM4600++

is this build ok? any overkill components? Kindly reply

Cooler maybe? Not overclock CPU anyway. M.2 PCIE also seems overkill for just an i5. My opinion by the way I'm no sifu.

Thanks for the reply.. might replace CPU with i5 7600k and Z170M mobo.. found out it will be more suitable for the cooler.. cost wise have to topup another 140 which is still OK for me..

by the way the ssd is not suitable for i5 build? Kindly enlighten me

If your budget is around 4k then you can get a better PSU.

Sure.

Remove the AIO cooler if you want to save money, not really needed for a locked i5 build. As for the PSU, grab a better one if you can, add a 1TB HDD if you want more storage.

Thanks!
As previous post I might change to a i5 7600k and Z170M mobo.. for storage have a spare 500GB that I can reuse.. will add on later 2TB Hdisk in the future..
Regarding the PSU, is it not suitable? It is rated 80 Plus Bronze.. Kindly enlighten me
