Hi all,

Am thinking of upgrading my current gaming desktop. My current budget for the upgrade is around RM5000 (excluding current parts that I have). I'm also trying to search for a lightweight/small casing that can fit all the parts as I may have to move several times. The following would be the existing parts that I have:

Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X OC Video Card
Storage: Crucial M4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory



I have something like the following in my mind (edited).
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage: Crucial M4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X OC Video Card
Power Supply: SeaSonic PRIME 650W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Casing: Any recommendation for a lightweight/small casing?

Would appreciate if you could advise on my current build. Any recommendation for it would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Not sure what kind of games you play but assuming you are playing at 1080p, looks like a decent build and I understand you are trying to re-use your existing DDR3. If you want small but still use an ATX mobo, Fractal Design Define C or Corsair Carbide 400 or NZXT S340 may be your choices. They aren't exactly light at ~8kg.

Thanks. I've made some modification to the current build. I need to additional memory for some work. What do you think.
