Guys, would like to have a helping hand here. Recently I've checked out Idealtech and wanna get them to build me up a gaming rig, but I'm not too confident with the choices made, my choices are as follows :-
Processor : Coffeelake/8th gen if can, if my budget is too low, then 7th gen will do
GPU: GTX1070ti

As for others such as mobo, PSU, sound cards etc, that's where I got stuck because I know that if i buy the wrong motherboard or PSU, it would mess up my performance. I can only sure to which certain extent I want my graphic cards & CPU to be at, but I'm not sure about the others(especially power supply & mobo).

Budget: RM5k - RM6.5k(max). Exclude mouse & keyboard/headset.

Edit:
Main purpose :- Mostly for triple A title gaming, and to make a transition from my crappy lappy for a long time now

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the suggestions, your second offer looks tempting I compared it parts by parts with Idealtech(with little modifications) and found out that Idealtech costs roughly the same too.

But, i wanna know, when it comes to the above quotations of parts,
(1)Do i need to add in sound card? Sorry for asking stupid questions, because i don't need a masterpiece audio, all i need is an audio jack to enable me to listen via headphone and it'll all be good for me.

(2)Forgot to mention, as for monitors, what kinda monitors would you recommend me to get? Don't need to be so high-end, just decent ones with moderate price would do.

(3)Is the motherboard & PSU recommended compatible enough in case i wanna transition to 1080 or even 1080ti few years down the road once i got the new graphic cards?

thanks

is there anything cheaper for the monitor?

Hi there, i wanna know:

1)What is the major differences between both of these specs above, even though the second specs are cheaper/same as the first?

2)If let's say i wanna upgrade my GPU to GTX1080 or 1080ti, then would the motherboard stated in either of the configuration be enough?

3)You said that the prices are based on E Tech PC in Kepong right, i am not from KL. So i should send them thee quotation of specs face to face, or directly email/call the customer services, and only go there walk-in to retrieve my pc? because i most probably will only be able to come down to Kepong by weekends

By H370 mobo, you meant msi one, or the asus rog strix one?

wow, thank god. Btw for assembling, roughly how many days will they need, or it's case by case?

Gotta admit, Asus Rog Strix & Aorus mobo looks pretty sick, but right now i'm running outta time, no thanks to the 10% SST that's gonna be implemented soon. actually planned to get my new rig by end of this year, but if i'm able to rush it in time, i might wanna get one before the 1st of Sept

well, imo, it goes like this:

Z-lineup -> H370 -> B360 -> H310

*The Z-lineup motherboards are the most versatile(being containing more ports, multiple PCI-E's, able to OC) as well as being the most priciest due to it being most future-proof. And if you take the number series into account, it would be something like Z390 is more superior than Z370.

*Then only followed by H370, B360 which considered suitable for those mid-gaming capabilities, and finally H310 is for those who only wants basic budget gaming capabilities, and of course, H310 is the most cheaper version out there.

Well that depends on your use of PC. Are you a hardcore gamer that wants to squeeze every performance out of its PC? If yes, then I'd highly recommend you to get the B360, because it's also future-proof in the sense that if you wanna exchange your processor /gpu, you can do it without any worries (give & take 2-3years later). I know for a fact that if I'm powering on 1060 right now, I'd wanna go for 1070ti at the very least in next 3 years or so if I wanna make some upgrades on my graphic card.

Besides, if you really ask me, I'd go for B360 over H310 if I have the budget to do so. You basically would not lose anything at all. H310 is considered basic/rudimentary components in powering the whole thing, so yeah, cash in a few more ringgit for B360 would be my approach.

As for the shop, would you mind let me know the shop's name(or pm me if you don't mind)?

hey, just wanna asked, i've already purchased a rig from E Tech without Cooler , my question is, would it bring some harm to my PC(what i'm worry of is that the cpu & its neighboring components would get heated for longer in the long run)??

i know it's stupid, but since i've already made my purchase, i think i will only get a better cooler by next year.

i'm talking about after market cooler.

but then again, some folks complained that stock cooler sucks, so yeah...

i admit, i was too rash in buying a new rig no particularly thanks to sst, which is why i based off my rig with a recommendation here not too long ago by Kristal.S. It suits my preferences(in terms of GPU/CPU selections) and it's within my range of budget, i immediately gave them (E Tech) the specs and forgotten the cooler after that

i5-8400

Guys, i was able to turn on my rig, but i couldn't find the network connectivity. do some of you face the same trouble too?

do i have to buy a wifi network card in order to use wifi?

Edited: Found out that i need to get Wifi adapter in order to connect to wifi.

Do you guys know which wifi adapter that can be the best bang for my buck??

For now i think i will settle with first option

300Mbps, alright, looks like a good deal, thanks. initially wanna buy those with antennas, but i think for now i will go with your suggestion.

Thanks

Guys, just curious, the GPU's fan would only be turned on if we're running on intensive programs that needs its power right? so, if we're just running normal apps that don't demand much gpu resources, then it would stay idle?

thanks in advance

your rig's largely share some similarities with mine except for the brand as well as your mobo

i also planning on upgrading my RAM from 8GB to 16GB, does it have to be the same speed as in:-
If i already have 8GB DDR4 2666mhz, then i have to use the same DDR as well as 2666mhz, cannot pick the ones with DDR3/3000mhz?
