hi plz help need some advice/suggestion, im currently using :

4790 [non k]
16gb ddr3
980 ti
small ssd [128gb] for windows
1tb black hdd
1x 4k@60 monitor + 1x 1080@60

is it worth it to buy a whole new pc (thinking of cpu like 7700k/ryzen1700, gpu 1080ti, 16gb ddr4, no reuse parts) or just upgrade parts (gpu & add another big ssd for games)? i scare buy new pc the improvement is minimal & is a waste of $

hi thanks very much for suggestion, after asking a few people i think i will just upgrade parts [gpu & ssd] as cpu [4790 to 7700 & ddr4] wont impact much at 4k

but if u dont mind can give me a build budget around 8~9k [rig only], just want to know what i can get for that price. i live at klang and thrs literally no good pc shop here, and i will have to go kl to quote price and such
will use the format u guys suggest, thanks very much

[Budget] 8~9k [rig only]

[Purpose] mostly gaming, sometimes capture and edit for fun, sometimes drawing

[Hardwares that will be re-use] monitor, mouse, keyboard, speaker, controller

[Monitor resolution] currently using 2 monitors - 4k@60hz and 1080@60hz

[Games & softwares that use frequently] 1.mostly mmos like ff14 wow tera black desert etc 2.overwatch diablo3 csgo hots hearthstone 3.some steam indie games and random titles 4.rarely play gtav and some other aaa titles
software - obs / nvidia shadowplay / amd playstv for capture, photoshop, clipstudio paint, sai tool paint

[Personal preferences] - amd intel nvidia is fine for me, but it would be great if u can give me 2 build [1 intel/1 amd] for comparison
- would hope if can put 5k+ in just cpu and gpu, the rest will go to other parts
- dont care bout the looks at all [but if got some extra $ dont mind put in some rgb and such] < would like to have very good cooling case
- dont prefer any water cooling inside the case [unless neccessary] < prefer beastly big air cooler [dont care bout light and such]
- never done oc before, so probably wont do it and can be ignore

hi thanks very much for suggestion, will take note

nice thanks, gonna go see some reviews for each parts

btw it seems that amd is quite new and got some issues [optimization] including the cooler mounting u mention, which is main problem for me since i want more flexibility in cpu cooler. and i dont like to fix/update/optimize later since im not very good at the hardware bios thing

do u work at c-zone? i can come by and support support when im upgrading/buy new just to ty for helping

hi any1 buying stuff using credit card visa from lowyat pc shops recently? do they have any extra charges using credit card when buying new pc/parts? do they have extra service charge building new pc/upgrade pc?

i found a shop at web quite nice - http://www.idealtech.com.my/store/index.ph...ute=common/home

price almost same as lowyat but they can make ur pc nice nice, :
- Free Assembly & Installation
(for full rigs hardware purchased from Ideal Tech PC only)
- Update with Latest Hardware BIOS or Firmware & Latest Drivers
(We will flash the latest bios on motherboard and using latest graphic card drivers)

ive ask them they say got extra 2% charge for credit card, not sure if using half cash half credit card though

hi not really a sifu [just recently got into rgb stuff] but heres my experience so far, it depends on what special effect u want. if going for single color mode its quite easy to configure. but if u want like special color shift/rainbow/etc mode and match everything else in ur case - rgb gpu, rams, strip, fans, etc, it can take some time and effort to configure. u must careful when choosing the brands for the rgb stuff cause not all of them can work together with each other. like ur asus mobo + gpu i think no problem, need to check on those rams though. again it depends on what effect u going for. and are u putting in rgb fans and strips too, if so need to check on those too.

so far the rgb stuff im playing with is -
software side: razer keyboard, logitech keyboard, Armageddon mouse, gigabyte mobo, gigabyte gpu, corsair strip
manual controller: segotep fans and case, armageddon fans, china brand strip

ive done some research too on thermaltake rgb riing plus fans and corsair hd120 fans for future upgrade, so far i think the TT fans cant work together with my current corsair node strip, and the hd120 have some ''mode'' missing if not using together with the node strip <- [wtf]

and not sure if the asus aura can work together with other component as well, still researching on this

depends i think, multi thread amd ryzen will win, gaming and single core stuff 4790 sure win <- my guess lol

lol its all down to ur initial budget, 2k? 4k? 6k? without a fix budget its impossible to recommend pc parts.

if u want sli, its easy, just get a sli rdy mobo and u r good to go

gtx1070 is more than enough for 1080p gaming [for now], sli isnt a bad idea for future upgrade but u say its in 1~2 year, u might have a hard time to get a brand new/2nd hand same model 1070, different model might work but might have compatibility issues. and if u r getting a used gpu, the condition will be questionable.

give u some of my experience, kabylake i7 is SUPER hot, i highly suggest u get a very BEAFY cooler [water cool recommended] especially u planning to oc later
