Hi Sifus,

Need some help for PC-upgrading!

Current Build:

Intel Core i5-6400
ASUS H110I-PLUS
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM (x2) - Total 16gb
Leadtek Winfast GTX 750TI OC 2GB GDDR5
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB HDD
FSP Hexa+ 550W
CM Elite 110


Mini-ITX build, just want to experience smoothness and no lag if I run games like PUBG while having miscellaneous programs/10-12 tabs of Chrome open. I'm not sure if what I have is good enough for the next few years. What do you recommend to upgrade? - Notice that GTX1060 is generally the minimum for PUBG right? If I go over the top for 1070, will it be better or should i spend that money to upgrade other stuff?

Budget maybe up to RM2.5k

Current monitor: BENQ GL2460, 1080p
Mouse and keyboard will be reused


Thanks a lot! Sorry for the long list of questions

Yeah, upgrade to at least GTX 1060 6GB. After that, the CPU.

Second hand i7-7700 or...

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 1039
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445

Thanks Tristan.

If I get a brand-new i7-7700 and GTX1060 at the same time, will that be better or just go for a GTX1070 first, then CPU upgrade later on?

If I opt for Ryzen then i'll have to change mobo right? Would it be better to just stick to intel for now?

Sorry for the newbie questions

Your best upgrade without changing mobo is i7-7700 second hand. New i7-7700 not worth the price. I value that below 1k due to the competition and i5-8400 (also requires change of mobo). Remember to update BIOS before changing to i7-7700. I would think GTX 1070 first is better upgrade.
Ryzen needs new motherboard.

Alright thanks! Will think about it and take it from here.

Appreciate the help!

Hi all,

Budget: RM2.5k max

Need some help for upgrading CPU and Mobo for my mini-ITX rig. Thinking of Ryzen 5 3600? I think my ram is still usable. Looking to add on an ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 1TB as well.

Usage: Mostly gaming (okay with Medium settings)/work - wordprocessing and excel/video streaming/youtube/netflix.

Intel Core i5-6400
ASUS H110I-PLUS
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM (x2) - Total 16gb
Zotac GTX 1060 6gb mini
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB HDD
FSP Hexa+ 550W
CM Elite 110


No issues with my graphics card for the next 2 years right? If I'm usually playing CS GO etc. No high end titles at the moment... but if I do try them out, I think I can only run it at medium (at best)?


Thanks a lot in advance smile.gif
