Please suggest a mid-range gaming setup for me. No GPU required (I'm going to reuse my GTX 970 for at least another year) and no power supply needed either (I have an extra Seasonic 620 unit).
I need at least 16 gigs of RAM and I want an SSD. Looking to spend around RM3k to RM4k without monitor or the above two parts. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Apr 8 2017, 01:51 PM) How about these? Thanks for the suggestions. How big is a Windows 10 install these days? Is 250GB for the SSD enough for Windows plus some reasonable programs. At least the games need to be on the SSD as well.Core i7-7700 - 1399 Gigabyte B250M-D3H - 449 Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 x2 - 520 Samsung 850 Evo 250GB - 482 WD Blue (go for 7200rpm only) or Seagate 1TB - 212 Corsair Spec case - 299 RM3361 total (C-Zone prices) Option 2: AMD Ryzen 1700 - 1599 MSI B350M Mortar - 480 Corsair 8GB DDR4-2133 x2 - 520 Samsung 850 Evo 250GB - 482 WD Blue (go for 7200rpm only) or Seagate 1TB - 212 Corsair Spec case - 299 RM3592 total (C-Zone prices)  Also looks like the Gigabyte B250M-D3H is specifically for AMD videocards since it has Crossfire support. Wouldn't it be appropriate to get something specifically for NVIDIA cards since I'll be using my old GTX 970 at least for a while yet? This post has been edited by wankongyew: Apr 8 2017, 09:33 PM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Apr 8 2017, 10:02 PM) Nope. Windows 10 with latest update doesn't even hit 80GB with all my software and tools installed. Hmm, the Gigabyte B250M-D3H also doesn't support CPU graphics, right? It's a rarely used feature but I have found it useful in the past when troubleshooting GPU problems and I don't have a spare GPU on hand. Any alternative to this?And motherboard does not favor Nvidia or AMD. Just that it doesn't support SLI because it doesn't have the SLI chip required for 2 or more Nvidia cards. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Apr 9 2017, 04:13 PM) It does support. i7-7700 comes with built-in GPU. Huh. Checked it out together with some other motherboards and it said otherwise. Guess this site was wrong.http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B250M-D3H-rev-10#sp http://motherboards.specout.com/l/6522/GIGABYTE-GA-B250M-D3H |
