Big price drops from Intel:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/int...p-ryzen-launch/

You might wanna hold your purchase. AMD Ryzen or Intel? Wait for real world benchmarks.

Interesting times ahead for us consumers/enthusiasts

So around when can we get the discounted price in Malaysia?

Once it becomes official, it will be immediate. Shops will get "rebated" by the distributors.

Hi. I am in need to upgrade my graphic card.

My Witcher 3 is collecting dust in my steam library. Can anyone recommend any graphic card that will not cost more than RM 1500? The less the better as i want to save money wherever i can. And which controller is better, ds4 or xbox 360 controller? thanks

My PC specs as per below:
i5 6600k
GIGABYTE Z170-HD3
8gig ram
PSU seasonic 620
1080p monitor
OLD HD 6800 graphic card

i see, just hope it gets official here soon, need a new PC urgently

Gigabyte GTX1060 Windforce OC 6Gb - RM1385 (Idealtech), or
EVGA GTX1060 Superclocked 3Gb - RM1199 (Idealtech)

Read this for benchmark on Witcher 3

Usually it will take few weeks.

Thanks for the article. Thats a good read right there.

For those who want a good PC made by Impulse Gaming,

Refer to http://www.impulse.com.my/pc/crimson-gear

From RM2199 until RM14999!!!

Intel G4560
GSKILL 8GB
850EVO 120GB
Asus H110
nVIDIA GT730
FTEC Casing
PSU 500w

Windows 10
MS Office

I'm building this PC for a person, based on internet, office work, & video watching.

GT730 added, incase of light gaming.

Any thoughts on this build?

GT730 is on par (or just slightly faster) with the iGPU of G4560 which is HD 610, not worth spending extra for GT730 TBH, save the money or go for better model instead.

It's fine to me for very budget PC spec.

In this case, wouldn't it be better if I remove the GPU, and upgrade the processor to i3 7100?

Next GPU upgrade would be nVIDIA 1050, light gaming would most likely be Candy Crush, Bejeweled.

The benefits of i3 7100 over G4560 are slightly faster core clock speed and iGPU (HD 630), its price tag is the double of G4560, I wouldn't recommend it unless you really need those minor enhancements.

HD 630 is around 25% faster than HD 610.

goldfries Can you please pin this thread? Thanks.

Can anyone suggest me RM3k+- rig that is mainly for gaming? Thanks in advanced.. no monitor needed just rig..

Disclosing type of games and resolution of monitor will help to provide a better recommendation that is wallet friendly

CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
MOBO: ASUS H110M-D
RAM: GSKill AEGIS 4GB DDR4 2133mhz
Case: AVF Casing with 450W PSU
SSD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD

Currently I want to make this build w/o gpu and use for watch movie on my 40' FHD TV

Later I will pair up with gtx 1060 3gb

May I know is there any issue on usage with the PSU 450W?
And any issue with gaming while using TV?

AVF 450W is low end PSU, don't expect good quality with this unit but it will still work just fine, lifespan might be shorter than others though, if you can, always go for a better PSU, it is like the heart of all the components.

TV has much higher input lag compared to PC monitor, manufacturers never disclose this data so it is quite hard to track the real input lag value but you will experience it easily if you play a lot of fast pace games like CS:GO, Overwatch etc.

Thanks for your helping..

Wish to play latest game at playable fps
Monitor resolution 1920X1080

Hi guys, i need advice to build my Rig

[Budget] RM5500 ~ RM6000

[Purpose] Gaming (AAA), Movie, etc

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor,Keyboard,mouse

[Monitor resolution] -

[Games & softwares that use frequently] latest games, AAA title

[Personal preferences] i5/i7 (Kabylake), Z270 Mobo (prefer MSI, open any suggestion), GTX1070/GTX1080, Liquid CPU cooler

[Location] KL

If you are not in a hurry, suggest you wait a bit. Price adjustments expected on Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU soon.

EDIT : What monitor resolution will you be gaming on? 1080p means you won't need super high-end GPU

This post has been edited by richard912: Mar 2 2017, 12:01 PM

I'm not really hurry, could be around 3 or 4 months from today,

and if 1080p resolution, which GPU should i buy? and if 1440p?

If in no hurry, you will get better value with your budget. In any case, 1080p with ultra settings, a GTX1070 is good. A GTX1060 may do too but some settings will need to be scaled down. For 1440p with ultra settings, a GTX1080 is recommended. FYI GTX1080TI has been announced. Definitely a consideration as it is supposed to be good for 4k and even 5k resolution. This means it will rock 1440p. Price point will be circa current GTX1080. So, should you wait? Definitely!!

Yeah, i heard about 1080Ti, i guess, i'll wait. Btw thank you..

Thinking want to build a long term PC for gaming. Buy some basic stuff first then upgrade later.

[B][Budget] RM1500 - 2000

[Purpose] Mostly focusing on Gaming + Photoshop

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Keyboard, Mouse,

[Monitor resolution] 1080p fine by me.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Adobe Photoshop, DOTA2, Vegas Pro

[Personal preferences] Smooth gaming or rendering. Recommend me. Donno much bout PC. thanks.

[Location] Selangor

Your budget is not easy to build a "long term PC", you gonna spend ~RM 500 for a 1080p monitor and ~RM 1500 for the rest of the components (assuming you can fork out 2k max budget), 1.5k is not a healthy budget to deal with especially when gaming is involved, 2 paths for you to choose in this scenario:

1. Get a reasonable + decent CPU and use its iGPU for gaming first, I notice you only listed Dota 2 so iGPU is probably fine if you aren't too picky on the settings that you can run, this path will not include a discrete GPU until you have more funds.

2. Run everything on low end hardware, this will grant you with a low end CPU + low end discrete GPU for gaming.

I would recommend 1st option since you are going to upgrade the parts later, it is much easier to upgrade or add in a discrete GPU later on than upgrading both CPU and GPU at the same time in the future.

[Budget] unlimited

[Purpose] Gaming only

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None since my 1080p and CSGO pc needs them

[Monitor resolution] 1440p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Steam, Origin, Uplay

[Personal preferences]

CPU - Intel i7
Mobo - z270? (ATX is preferred)
CPU Cooler - (do i need this?)
RAM - 16gb
Casing - S340 Elite TG
PSU - Full Modular
GFX - recommend
SSD1 - 240/256 for OS & Software
SSD2 - For games, 1TB perhaps or 500/512 dual?
Monitor - recommend (preferably 27" IPS, i don't know whether i need G-Sync or not)

[Location] I prefer Etech PC

[Side Notes] I can compromise with the video setting with high only, no hairworks stuff but any suggestion is welcomed

Thanks in advance

Unlimited budget?? Wait for GTX1080ti to hit Malaysian market. Expect price will be RM38xx. Get 2 for SLI for ultra setting on EVERYTHING

CPU - Intel i7-7700K RM1559 - Price expected to drop a due to recent Intel announcement
Mobo - ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E Gaming RM1200
CPU Cooler - NZXT Kraken X62 RM759 (nice bling bling)
RAM - GSkill TridentZ RGB 2x8GB DDR4-3200 RM799 (more bling bling)
Casing - S340 Elite TG RM475
PSU - Full Modular Superflower Leadex Gold 750W RM549
GFX - recommend GTX 1080ti ~RM38xx
SSD1 - 240/256 for OS & Software - Samsung 960 EVO M2 500GB RM1250 (super fast speed!)
SSD2 - For games, 1TB - Samsung 850EVO RM2199
Monitor - recommend (preferably 27" IPS, i don't know whether i need G-Sync or not)- Predator X34A RM4699 or Acer XB271HU RM3699
- Bangsawan monitor: ASUS PG348Q RM6269 or ASUS PG279Q RM4159

If you prefer to build now (or in other word, get it done within these few days), then you don't really have to wait for GTX1080Ti, GTX1080 has its price dropped since GTX1080Ti launched few days ago and Zotac Malaysia is the first one to announce the price drop, you can get a Zotac branded GTX1080 at just ~2.7k (depends on the variants you get). But you have "unlimited" budget so it is really up to you whether to opt for GTX1080Ti

dear sifu here, finally my 9 years old i7 860 rig keep popping out some issue recently. i was thinking change it to AMD 8320, i was wondering is there any amd mobo still supporting 1333 ram with the AMD 8320?

my current build
CPU - Intel i7 860 <---upgradeing this
Mobo - msi gd55-65 <---upgradeing this
RAM - 16gb 1333
Casing - CM 690
PSU - 500w (9 years old)
GPU - GTX750 oc
SSD1 - 240 for OS & Software
HDD1 - 1 TB

reason why i dont go for intel because the price is too high i dont think worth it. i only play wow and cs go and normal video editing. any suggestion?

CS:GO favors Intel CPU, or in other words, it is a single threaded games and the CPU single core performance is vital in this games, FX8320 loses out to modern Intel CPU by quite a huge margin.

FX processors core definition isn't the same with Intel's one, they are like 2 integer cores into a "larger" module, and these 2 cores are sharing similar resources in the module.

An back to your question, AM3+ uses DDR3 RAM, so your 1333MHz DDR3 will work just fine on AM3+ mobo.

Hi, I'm looking for a rig that is "okay" enough to run 3ds max, fusion, 123d design.
My budget is below rm2000 (as low as possible), and my preference is at least 8gb ram in it. Any recommendation? Thank you

As low as possible.

Intel Core i3 7100 - RM 522
Asus H110M-K - RM 259
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 169
Tecware F3 - RM 119

Total: RM 1543 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)

You can consider to add an SSD to improve system responsiveness and reduce boot time or GPU to improve graphics rendering.

Thanks for replying , any gpu would you recommend to go with this rig? (within rm2000 budget)
I saw these 2 gpus on ETECH lelong:
gt740 and rx460

RX460 is much faster than GT740 but it lacks of Nvidia CUDA technology which is being used/utilized by some of the rendering software out there.

RX460 is indeed a better pick than GT740, it is not necessary to get a discrete GPU now if you are short on budget though

Ok, Thanks for your time

hi all , what is the cheapest GPU I can get ? My purpose is just want to have dual digital output, at least one HDMI because one of my monitor can only receive hdmi , then another can receive hdmi or dvi. So the GPU should have either hdmi+dvi , or hdmi + hdmi , any recommendation ? Both monitor are only up to 1080P. Prefer nvidia.
My mobo only support hdmi + vga that why I need to upgrade. Budget under Rm300 , possible ?

This post has been edited by linkinawe: Mar 4 2017, 01:41 PM

RX 460 2GB

thanks for the reply sifu, however , i forgot to mention that my budget around Rm300, possible ? Since i dont do any gaming, just want digital output

You go try look for deals in GS section. Here's an example

This post has been edited by richard912: Mar 4 2017, 02:33 PM

You need to look at 2nd hand market just like this.

http://www.mudah.my/Graphic+card+Zotac+GTX...TI-52771570.htm

allright, I think i can fork out for GTX 1050, which is bang of buck GPU right now. But can my PSU support it ?

PSU : Seasonic Silence PRo 750W
Processor : i5 6500
mobo : asus h110m-k
SSD X1, HDD 3.5 X3
Kingston value 4gb ram DDR4 x2

500W is more than enough.

Hi all, I wanted to build a budget gaming PC for below RM2000 if possible. Exclude monitor, mouse and speakers. My CPU in mind is pentium G4560 and the GPU is GTX 1050 TI OC. I understand that the GPU is taking up almost half the budget but does this make it more future proof?

Appreciate your suggestions and comparisons for this matter.

Thank you

Nothing is future proof unless you stick to playing the same game because newer games will require more and more resources.

1. CPU - Intel G4560 (RM239)
2. MOBO - ASUS H110M-D (RM299)
3. RAM - DDR4-2133 8Gb (RM289)
4. HDD - 1TB (RM219)
5. Case - AVF with 450W PSU (RM159)
6. GPU - GTX1050ti (RM719)

Total - RM1924

Thanks richard for your feedback. So its not necessary to get 1050 TI OC? just get the normal 1 will do right?

Btw should i get 120gb ssd instead of 1tb hdd?

Budget] 1200

[Purpose] light gaming, office work

[Hardwares that will be re-use] GC hd 7750, monitor

[Games & softwares that use frequently] dota2

Can someone help me to upgrade my pc..

budget - 2 k

[Purpose] - a lil gaming like dota

item reuse - intel core i7 2600 / ram / monitor.

OC is just an factory pre-overclocked version of GTX1050Ti, you can manually OC the normal edition if you want, this is to save money.

Get Intel Pentium G4560 + H110 + 8GB RAM, add in a 1TB HDD (if needed) or 120G/240G SSD (if you don't mind spending money for it).

PSU is also needed? If yes then entry level Corsair VS450 or FSP Hexa+ 450W is enough.

So mobo not going to re-use? It is hard to find LGA1155 socket mobo for your i7 2600 now

motherboard seem got prob. sometime cant open window.

Cannot open window? You mean the OS? If yes then you need to confirm the root cause of the issue first, sometimes the issue is from other components like a faulty HDD/SSD, RAM etc, there should be an error code shown on the screen for you to identify the root cause.

Your i7 2600 runs on a LGA1155 socket mobo, it is almost impossible to find a new mobo with this socket right now since it is long obsoleted, the best option would be finding an used unit in Garage Sales (or somewhere else).

Have our local retailer updated their latest price tags on Intel's CPUs? I am thinking of building a rig when they do, if they do.

Budget around 4.5k, lower if possible.

For high performance gaming in 1080p.

Currently I have these CPU and GPU pairing in mind - i5 7600K and 1060 6GB.

On top of that, I need suggestions on:

-decent mobo for overclocking
-8GB low timings and decent clock speed RAM (I'm thinking at least 2400mhz)
-120GB SSD should be enough for OS and 50~60GB of games?

Also the rest including cooler, PSU, 1TB internal HDD, casing etc.

Edit : forgot to mention I value performance > appearance. meaning no need to fancy leds and stuff, low temp and good ventilation is what matters to me.

[Personal preferences] budget must include wifi card / wifi usb

[Budget] - RM4k

[Purpose] - architecture software (Lumion Software) > https://lumion3d.com/system-requirements.html

anyone knows if the RM4k budget is enough to meet to recommended for this software.
a friend of mine is looking into this and i am helping.
any suggestion or help would be much appreciated.

No price drop yet in Malaysia.

Intel Pentium G4560 - RM 244
Asus H110M-K - RM 259
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
Zotac GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 Mini - RM 579

Total: RM 1889 (E TECH price inclusive of GST)

* BIOS update is required to run Kaby Lake CPU on a mobo with older chipset (H110/B150/H170/Z170).

According to the system requirements posted by Lumion Software:

10k PassMark points for CPU: Min entry i7 4790
8k PassMark points for GPU: Min entry RX480/GTX970/GTX1060

If you follow all the recommended specs then it will be over your budget. Recommended specs includes an i7 processor (will use i7 7700 instead of i7 4790 because the latter is long obsoleted and replaced by the latest gen which is the former), 16GB DDR4 RAM, GTX1060 6GB as GPU, 1TB HDD (SSD is not included), a 80+ Gold rated good quality PSU (not necessary need to follow this as this is just a recommendation from them after all but it is good to keep this) and a standard ATX casing with a mATX mobo (with 4 RAM slots for future RAM expansion).

Intel Core i7 7700 - RM 1424
Gigabyte B250M-D3H - RM 419
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 550

* CPU is upgrade-able to Kaby Lake i3 7100 with minor top up.

I would suggest to get a SSD for his/her friend. I'm also studying architecture and using a rig without a SSD. Some of the files would take almost 2 hour to upload into the Lumion.

thank you for the recommendation.

Hey there, I thought of doing an upgrade to my PC. Here's the info for the suggestion:

[Budget] About RM 700? I rather do this as cheaply as possible.

[Purpose] For digital art and light gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] PSU (230W), HDD (500 GB), Monitor

[Monitor resolution] 1440 x 900

[Games & softwares that use frequently] MediBang

Current specs:

Intel Pentium E6600 3.06 GHz (2C2T)
1x 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Gigabyte G41MT-S2PT (LGA 775)
PowerLogic Magnum 230 (230W?)

Is this upgrade okay?

Intel Pentium G4560 3.5 GHz (2C4T)
1x 4 GB 2133 MHz DDR4
ASUS H110M-K or ASRock H110M-DGS

Hey there, any suggestion on spec for mini itx rig?

[Budget] About RM 3000-3500

[Purpose] Gaming purpose (GTA V , BF 1, and mostly STEAM games)

I want to buy a led monitor... IPS type. Dell brand. 22-23 inches widescreen... Can find out for me?
Main usage is to do photo editing. So the color should be correct.
Thank you
Budget not so sure

Fit well for your budget.

Intel Core i5 7400 - RM 854
ASRock H110M-ITX - RM 283
G.SKill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 255
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Mini - RM 1229
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
Superflower Leadex Silver 550W - RM 359
CM Elite 130 - RM 178

Total: RM 3377 (E TECH price inclusive of GST)

Please take note that there is a new GTX1060 variant which comes with next gen & faster GDDR5 memory speed to 9Gbps (8Gbps previously), if you want the latest 9Gbps VRAM version then you will need to wait a bit longer.

You can add SSD if you top up your budget or downgrade the PSU or GPU to 3GB model.

I would recommend Dell UltraSharp U2417H if you want 99% sRGB coverage and 72% NTSC coverage, excellent monitor for photo editing, price is around 1k.

Dell Ultrasharp series is good choice for photo editing

Alright guys, wanna build a PC for my bro. He using mostly for photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom, illustrator) and sometimes playing games like Racing Simulator, but mostly for photo editing
Just for PC around RM5-6k
Thanks

Hi everyone!

[B][Budget] Rm3k + monitor

Is 1 8gb better than 2 4gb?

And im planning to get 1 SSD and 1 HDD. What is your recommendation for SSD, probably 1 with 120gb.

Thanks!

Due to wide budget range, specs difference between a 3k rig and a 5k rig is very significant.

If photo editing is the main priority, then switching the monitor to the one with 99% sRGB and wide color gamut support like Dell UltraSharp series will greatly improve the experience.

Thats 16gb ram right ? Or just 8gb ?

Technically, 2 x 4GB is slightly faster than 1 x 8GB due to dual channel mode but it is very hard to notice the difference in real life usage.

The mobo chosen comes with 2 RAM slots only so it is better to get 1 x 8GB so you can upgrade to 16GB (more or less) in the future easily.

2 x 8GB, the total price of the RAM indicates it.

8GB x1 is better for your motherboard. You won't see a difference on real world performance.

Samsung or Transcend for current prices.

16GB.
