SLI ready mobo is expensive as it is only available on a mobo with at least 2 PCIe x16 slot (cards will run at x8 after SLI), so you need at least Z170/Z270 for it (if you are using LGA1151 socket CPU).
*
humm the above mention mobo says its got
2 PCIe 3.0 x16,
was thinking of using ati cards any way so got my terms wrong, the above board states AMD Quad CrossFireX that means i can run 2x ati cards with the above mobo 1151 mobo, any other alternatives? dont want to get expensive 170/270 board

Yes it does have 2 x16 slots but one will run at full x16 mode and another one at x4 mode, so when you CF the GPU, the second card will have its performance reduced due to low bandwidth issue. This is not recommended for mid & high end GPU unless you are okay with the reduced performance.

thanks

checked a few places, lazada, 11street, viewnet, lelong etc..
seems like 470/480 all out of stock, and 570/580 all pre-order
do you guys know where i can get 470/480 or 570/580? or when its going to arrive in malaysia?
did find some guy in garage sale selling a 390 but asking about 950-1000, thats expensive??


thinking of upgrading to a gtx 1070
my understanding is zotec is 3 years warranty, other brand is 2 years?

You going to upgrade your monitor later right?
otherwise and i5 / Ryzen 5 with 1060/1070 is such a waste on 1440*900 monitor, at least get FHD.

QUOTE(TristanX @ Jul 13 2017, 01:15 PM)
Switch the CPU to Ryzen 5 1600 and MSI A320M PRO-VD.  It has additional 2 core for better multi emulations. Any mainstream Intel today except Pentium G4560 is not worth it. RAM prices are going up. You might wanna buy that first if price didn't change yet.
*
Do you know when Ram going to increass in Malaysia? by how much 10-20%?
Has it increases overseas yet? if yes how soon after will it follow here?
What about SSD going to increase too?

I may stock 8-16gb now as going to buy new rig in the next few months.

Please help me choose RAM and mobo for Ryzen

Getting a Ryzen 5 1500x or 1600 (still undecided)
Mobo A350 (still undecided)
Need 16gb ram, or 2x 8Gb
assume if get 2x 8gb of same ram it will run dual channel

- usuage internet browsing with multiple tabs / youtube, my current 8gb is running out of memory fast.
- dont game.

I dont need anything fancy, price of 2133 is so similar to 2400 so I probably get the later instead.

Any other recommendation is welcome not on my list.

---------------------
Budget RAM
---------------------
RM 250 - 2133Mhz tho
Silicon Power Desktop Longdimm 8GB DDR4 - 2133Mhz

RM 260
GALAX 8GB DDR 4 2400MHZ CL16 DDR4 RAM

is this Galax ram ok? its soo cheap and also lifetime warranty.
Really temped to get 2x of these, probably just do the job.

---------------------
Normal Ram
---------------------
price range from 289-315
Please help me have 2-3 shortlist, its already sorted in price order.
My current thinking is get the branded ones for easy rma if anything goes wrong, and maybe its better quality/reliable.
eg kingston, gskill?

RM 289
ADATA PREMIER DDR4 2400 8GB DESKTOP PC RAM

RM 290
Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 RAM

RM 290
Adata XPG Hyper PC Ram DDr4-2400 8GB Ram (single)

RM 293
Gskill Aegis 8GB DDR4 2400MHZ

RM 589
16GB G SKILL RIPJAWS V SERIES 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400 PC RAM

RM 299
Avexir Core Series DDR4/2400Mhz/8GB/LED

RM 298
Geil Super Luce 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Single Channel Kit

RM 315
Crucial 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz Desktop Value Ram - CT8G4DFD824A

---------------------
Semi-Performance Ram
---------------------

RM 654
Corsair VengeanceĀ® LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C16 Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16)

probably would not get this ram, as I rather put money into better cpu, mobo or ssd.
Dont think its value for money

Please help me choose mobo for Ryzen



Getting a Ryzen 5 1500x or 1600 (still undecided)Ā 
- usuage internet browsing with multiple tabs / youtube, my current 8gb is running out of memory fast.

- dont game now, but may be in future.

I shorted listed the following by reading the previous page of recommendations

ASRock AB350M
ASROCK AB350M Pro4
Asus Prime B350M-A - 445

Only majour concern is if in future I like to add fast NVMe SSD
Just plug into any of the above mobo M.2 slot right?

https://www.lelong.com.my/asrock-ab350m-pro...7-09-Sale-P.htm

Slots: it says
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2: x16 mode)*
*Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks

does that mean if i have a NVMe SSD as boot disks need to disable cant use the PCI E3.0 x16 for potential gaming?
