Hi all,

So far i have these specs:

CPU: INTEL CORE I5-8400 RM 698
MOBO: GIGABYTE B360M AORUS GAMING 3 RM 337.00
RAM: G.SKILL AEGIS 8GB 2400MHZ RM 379
GPU: GALAX GTX 1050 TI OC 4GB RM 689.00
SSD: SAMSUNG 250GB 850 EVO RM 367.00
HDD: WD BLUE 1TB 163
PSU: SUPER FLOWER LEADEX II GOLD 650W RM 414.00
CASE: TECWARE NEXUS TG MATX RM 139

TOTAL: RM 3186 (E Tech prices)

I'm planning to use this system for long term, will upgrade the components when I can afford to (graphics card, RAM etc).

It's my first custom computer, so pardon my noob questions:

1. Is this MOBO a good choice for a long term use?
2. Do I need any additional component for network (Wifi) and sound (soundcard maybe?)? Any recommendations?
3. Am I overdoing it with the PSU? Should I use a lower wattage one?
4. Any parts I should substitute out? My usage is mainly for light gaming (dota/hearthstone/diablo etc), watch movie etc. I can spend up to 3500.

Thanks.

Hi Sifus,

Planning to get a new PC. Will use it for gaming, watch movies, but of coding.

So far I have these (price from czone):

Any bottlenecks here? Any parts I should swap out? Thanks!

Thanks updated the list.
czone don't seem to have WD SN850X 1TB, so opted for SAMSUNG 990 PRO 1TB for 499. They also don't have B650 PLUS WIFI, only have the B850 one which is more expensive. Don't mind the visual of the casing much, more about the budget and performance.

Comparing czone prices with viewnet, some parts are not available so I've substituted them.
