[Budget] - 5k

[Purpose] - Gaming purpose (will include some AAA title)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] - Keyboard & Mouse only (As this is my first build)

[Monitor resolution] - minimum 1440p. Will prefer 1080p (FHD), if budget can support

[Personal preferences] - AMD CPU, Nvidia GPU

[Location] - Penang

Any PC shop in Penang that will help to build the rig?

Thanks you

MSI B450 Tomahawk Max - 509
G.Skill TridentZ Neo 16GB DDR4-3600 kit - 489
Galax RTX 2060 6GB EX - 1499 (can be found cheaper)
Adata SX8200 Pro 512GB - 339
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 169
Corsair TX650M - 389
Thermaltake Level 20 MT case - 359
Samsung S24F350FHEPLS 24" - 399

RM5011 total (C-Zone prices)

Viewsonic VX3276-2K at RM999. You may need to increase budget for Zotac RTX 2070 Super Twin Fan at RM2379 as well. MSRP prices. Could be cheaper elsewhere.

JustIT & Dota has shopee/Laz webshops so you can buy from them online and ask to assembly it, GPU also they have in shoppee/Laz, can get all from them.

For GPU avoid Giga (all makes) as they use cheapo melting goop to replace thermal paste, go with AIB that uses PTM for the GPU core. Locally someone has poor experience with PNY due long delay for RMAing his GPU so maybe can avoid them if can.

For PSU thats a B+ rated, I think for the money can get other brands rated A tier like NGDP, Core Reactor 2, Hydro G/Pro/PTM/TI, etc

EDIT: For KL location can try find sifus here; Myway or Tristanx as their PC builders too.

Just to confirm, we can actually buy online and then request the same shop to assemble for us? No need to buy from physical shop for them to assemble it, right?

Also, is there any PC shop help assemble for PC part from multi source of purchased? What I mean is, if I buy CPU, Mobo, Graphic, Fan & PSU from seller, then I buy RAM, SSD & case my own. Can I ask seller A to assembly it, or got seller/shop that accept such request?
I don't mind pay for the assembly & test, and understand that some part will not have warranty support from the shop.

Sorry if my question look funny, coz I am not familiar with the Rig building.

If you are in Penang, I can help you with this - ask me via PM icon_idea.gif
Some shops do accept bring your own parts, but you will need to pay a build fee icon_idea.gif

Ok, I understand that if ask shop to build with including own part sure need to pay, since the part is not buying from them.

The bigger ones with physical shops mostly do but you need to ask them first before placing the order. IIRC Dotatech was FOC if you buy all from them.

Which means your 2nd question is a bit more difficult as seller would have issues if found that your stuff got problem, whose at fault and are they liable to replace you then? SSD maybe still okay if your want to port your current windows to new PC but RAM, case, too better get from the same shop. Again, pls confirm with the shop before you place your order, screenshot those msgs just in case.

Ok, I see. I will try check with the shop again when I am finally to place order.

Thanks both sifu for the answers notworthy.gif
