Hihi every sifu, looking for suggestion for new PC

[B][Budget] - RM1.5K...maybe going to 2k if really need.

[Purpose] - My PC just kong and I need to get a replacement mainly for surfing the net, youtube, excel, word. No gaming.

[Hardwares that will be re-use] - Keyboard, mouse, monitor, Corsair 650w PSU, 1 Plextor 128GB SSD as OS and 1TB WD Green as storage. I dont think I'll need GC as well since I've been using the Mobo's built in graphic accelerator.

[Monitor resolution] - 1080

[Personal preferences] - Would need a new SSD with higher capacity ie 512gb if its possible within the budget

[Location] - Puchong

Thank you for all the suggestions.

Thank you all for the quotes and suggestions.

I managed to read back the last 20 or so pages and arrived at some questions.

For proc: would it be any significant difference between Core i5 12400 vs i5 13400? At the moment, I'm thinking to go i5 12400 since i3 is kinda too basic?
For mobo: I have narrowed down 3: namely MSI Pro B760M-A Wifi vs Asrock B760M Pro RS Wifi vs Colorful B760M Gaming Frozen Wifi V20...I'm confused which one to get. Not sure which is better in terms of reliability also.
For RAM: will go ahead with Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 8GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 184
For SSD: will go with Kingston KC3000 512GB or 1TB - 275/449
PSU: No need. Will be reusing my existing Seasonic 660w Gold
Casing: Thinking either Montech Air 100 Lite Black vs Cougar MX340 vs Tecware Nexus Air M3...not sure which one also to get..any reco?

Thank you for all the feedback! U guys have been very helpful biggrin.gif

If your not gaming or multicore application usage (video encoding, rendering and such), the Ecores are pretty much useless. Its main purpose is to offload Windows background tasks from the main Pcores for use on focused apps ie games.

If want maximum money saving, just get 12400 or else 13400 if the price diff is not large. Forget the i3 of any gen.

Mobo, any of those you said will do fine, VRMS will handle up to i5 easy. See which has features you want best suits you (Asrock has USB C at rear, MSI has 2x HDMI & 2x DP ports), PCIE ports, M2 slots, etc.

Casing, also see which has features suits you best. Go for Montech or Tecware unit, the Cougar has solid front so cooling performance is inferior to the both. That Tecware has full mesh front giving best results while Montech front is vented steel plate. However that Montech has 2x USB 3.0 + 1 USB2, vs Tecware has 1x USB3.0 + 2x USB2 ports.

Alright! Thank you for the pointers. I’ll go with 12400 and tecware..i like the mesh front from tecware 😄
