hi im planning to get a desktop. hoping to get some recommendations from you guys.

1. STATE your budget : 2.5-3k
2. STATE the parts that you wish to re-use: n/a
3. STATE your purpose : gaming (mostly league of legends, overwatch, dota2)
4. STATE your intended purchase date : 2 - 3 months
5. STATE your preference : no preference. as long as it works well.

Hello Sifus,

Looking for your advise or suggestions regarding upgrading my old build. Is the current specs good enough to just upgrade the GPU to a new GTX 1070 without changing anything else except maybe upgrading the RAM to 2x 8gb DDR3 rams? Would like advise on if doing this would bottleneck the card or not as well or if which parts could be upgraded to avoid that.

Or would it be better to just spend RM 3-4k on a completely new setup that would be good to last for another 3-5 years?

The rig will be mainly be used for casual gaming on games like far cry primal, star wars battlefront, diablo 3, overwatch etc. Looking to get around a stable frame rate of around 70-80 fps averagely for a 24" 1920 x 1080 screen. Of course higher would be better. 
Old Specs-

CPU - CORE I7 2600 @ 3.4 GHZ
MOBO - ASUS P8P67 LE REV 1.03
RAM - 2 x 4Gb Corsair DDR3 1333MHz
SSD - Sandisk 128gb
HDD - wd10ealx-009ba0
GPU - MSI N560GTX TI TWIN FROZR II
PSU - CoolerMaster GX 650W
Case - Cooler Master Elite 430 Black
Monitor - Samsung syncmaster bx2450 - 24", 1920 x 1080 (Looking to upgrade this to a 27" or 31" Screen as well if possible)

Thank you!

hi guys, sorry for asking a few times on this build, i've gotten all the parts but left PSU, any recommended PSU similar range(quality and price) to leadex ii 650w/ evga g3 550w  as these two psu currently out of stock for most dealers.

cpu: ryzen 5 1500x
mobo: asrock x370 gaming k4
psu:???
ram: corsair vengeance lpx 2666mhz 8gb x2
gpu: nitro+ rx 580 8gb
ssd: 850 evo 120gb
hhd: toshiba 1tb

i already gotten all the parts, left psu only. below rm500 i guess, as both leadex ii 650w and evga 550w same price at rm478?

Budget 5k max and want to play AAA games that will be coming out in the next 2 years. Can sifus build a rig for me please?

And can mention the full name of parts. Bcs I see the list there is so many names for everything, like gtx 1070 there are like 10 over types. How would you know what gtx 1070 someone is talking about?

After reading a lot build in thread, i would like to said thank you to all sifus (seriously i learned alot)

Can someone recommend me 3.5k build with
+gtx 1060gb 6gb (zotac edition)
+i5
- no ssd for now
- no need for monitor since i got one
- no need for peripheral

Thanks in advance!

Option 1: i5 7500, GTX 1060, 144Hz monitor

Option 2: Ryzen 5 1600, RX 580, 75Hz Freesync monitor

Which combo would you guys go? 144Hz monitor with a weaker cpu or better cpu but 75 hz monitor with freesync?
