hi sifus sekalian, i am noob on rig build...so here goes:

[B][Budget]
fit-for-purpose budget for CPU (desktop) only, exclude monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I'd personally go for i3-8100 as Intel will give better performance in terms of gaming.

thnx for replying !

any budget mobo that you can recommend for i3-8100 ?

i have a few in mind:
MSI H310M Pro-VDH
Colorful Battle Axe C.B360M-HD Deluxe Motherboard
Asus Prime B360M-A
Asus TUF B360-Plus

do all the mobo i listed above leave space for GPU upgrade later ?

If really depends on your needs. Whether you need extra pcie slots, more ram slots, more usb ports and such. But if you can afford a B360, by all means go ahead with it as it will be a better mobo as compared to the budget H310. Besides, budget mobo will not look as good as the bigger boys (which may be important for some) haha.

I'd personally go with either two Asus board that you shortlisted. Never knew colorful has mobo too o.o

Yes, all the mobo you listed will support GPU upgrade later.

Ahh yes you would! I thought whatever you do might be more ram intensive thus suggested 16gb ram at first. But if you think 8gb is enough for your usage, here you go smile.gif

CPU: CORE I5 8400 (6C/6T) - 730
RAM: G.SKILL D4 PC2400 AEGIS 8GB - 400
MOBO: ASUS TUF B360 PLUS GAMING - 475
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB - 362
HDD: WD BLUE 1TB - 173
PSU: CORSAIR VS550 - 216
CASE: TECWARE NEXUS TG MATX - 149

TOTAL: RM2,505 (Czone price)

I swapped the SSD to Samsung 850 Evo 250GB. Thought you could have more space on the SSD to store your audio programs. Feel free to go with the previous suggested SSD if you want to save some money  wink.gif

riding on this post...what are the major differences between i3-8100 vs i5-8400 apart from the cores/thread counts ?

thanks
