Budget too low. You will need minimum of quad core and 16GB RAM. Less than that will be painful for video editing.

AMD Ryzen 3 1200 - 519
Asrock B350M Pro4 - 399
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X2 - 638
Galax GT 1030 2GB DDR5 - 359
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 210
Coolermaster Elite 350W - 139
Tecware F3 case - 145

RM2409 total (C-Zone prices0

Also. Intel Coffee Lake is coming out.

Hi Sifus,

Below is my current rig build on Apr 2014.

I want to upgrade so that I can edit 4K videos using premier pro and a bit of after effect.

But I'm thinking whether I can just change Mobo and add RAM now, but also to prepare for future upgrade using new Mobo.

Kindly advise, thanks.

CPU: Intel Core i3 4130 3.4GHz
Mobo: Asrock H81M-HDS
GPU: Palit GTX750 StormX OC 1GB GDDR5
Ram: Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
PSU: FSP Hexa 500W
Casing: Cooler Master ATX K280 USB 3.0

6years old rig. where u gonna find mobo, either its 2nd hand / from china taobao / refurbish only.
get ssd if u want the easiest improvement now. If want upgrade ram then find from garage sales/online for cheap deal.

else state ur budget for new rig.

also this:

Thank for the insight. I didn't realise it is 6 years old 😂, lol.
I just thinking if that is possible, apparently it's too old.

I watched the video but that build about 1k USD.

My budget would be RM 2.5 - 3k for desktop & monitor.

Rough estimation

r5 3600 - rm800
ASRock b450 k4/pro4 - rm350
Kingston ddr4 3200mhz 16gb - rm370 or dual kit @rm400+
Crucial mx500 512gb - rm310
Hdd - reuse or add if got budget
Gpu - zotac 1650 @ rm608. But this is base on ur editing software will use gpu acceleration or not. I not sure bout this area. (1660 seem better)
Psu - GIGABYTE P650B 80 PLUS Bronze 650W - rm250
Case - reuse old case or tecware alpha rm160+

Monitor should be rm360+ for 1080p 24inch.

R.A.M : hmm single channel will do geh but pricing seems kinda higher and if can add on to grab Corsair Vengeance LPX [8GB*2 CL16 Kit model], cost around 37*-38* sweat.gif

Bigger RAM and SSD is faster. J4125 is more powerful.

Yes, you can cheapskate with both shitty PCs. Both of them are garbage in my eyes.

Wow. This is real SFF pc lol.
I think you can build a decent build with RM900 if you go for secondhand market.
With CPU like that, confirm lag like shit even when watching videos lol
Those specs worse than a 10year old rig I have sitting at home, and that PC isn't what I would call smooth  sweat.gif

My parent don't like big size desktop.

My dad using asus mini pc vm42 which cost about Rm900 for over 3 or 4 years & still using, no major issue at all. Just for streaming window and wen browsing. below the spec.

4th Generation Intel Celeron 2957U (Haswell-R) processor
4GB RAM, 500GB

Inb4, ayam cheapskate maxxxxxx.

Then spend more for a Deskmini or a used NUC then (preferably with a Core i3/i5 chip + SSD on it) sweat.gif
I'm actually amazed by the his patience though, especially that chip is on par with the Athlon 64 x2 (or the lowly Core 2 Duo E6540) and the fact that it's paired to a slow mechanical HDD sweat.gif

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/low_end_cpus.html

If that's the case, probably the NUC, due to higher RAM capacity and the inclusion of a proper SSD (which is much faster than eMMC) icon_idea.gif
The CPU is about twice as fast too icon_idea.gif

My mom budget RM900 only.

get a refurb optiplex for 599 and a 2.5" dram SSD from shopee

at least i5-4570 is still a much better CPu compared to the celeron

Want to change my 8 years old desktop.

[B][Budget] 2K without GPU

[Purpose] Web browsing, watch movie, casual video editing, Dota2

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Palit GTX750 StormX OC 1GB GDDR5, Monitor, keyboard, mouse,

[Monitor resolution] 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, Adobe Premier pro(casual use)

[Personal preferences] i5-12400

[Location] Cheras

Is i5-12400 still the best value?

If I want to play Borderland 3 and Rust at medium setting, how much I need to top up?

Not hurry to build yet, doing survey now.

The iGPU inside the 12400 might not be fast enough for games (especially with Intel's graphics drivers) sweat.gif
Might want to consider going AMD instead (either a 4600G/5600G should be suffice) icon_idea.gif
According to Guru3D, BL3 on 1080p60 demands a RTX2060 at the minimum:
https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/borde...k_review,5.html

So something like a RX6600 (should be around RM1.2-1.3K) should be plenty good for it:

Actually I have Palit GTX750 StormX OC 1GB GDDR5 which I currently playing dota2 with low setting.

What should I get for RM 2k without GC?
