I plan to build a gaming PC that is sufficient to play most of the AAA titles currently and at least for the next 3 years.

how much does it cost?

can anyone help to comment on this PC i am going to buy?

I plan to play AAA titles like howard legacy on reasonable settings on 1080p monitor.

do not wish to spend too much money on a graphic card as technology changes every year that every year the spec will be upgraded for the same price.

any can help to comment on this spec? is it overpriced?

for processor, if i choose the one without iGPU (as i have dedicated graphic card), but will it cause prob next time to troubleshoot the computer if dedicated graphic has prob? price difference is only rm100 with iGPU.

but if i want to stick to the lian-li case for aesthetic...
(white colour)

which other white components can better match it?

besides, choosing Core i5-14500 is becos it has better value or?

ok. thanks bro.. .

if i am willing to spend more, which white colour motherboard is nice?
also, if a motherboard is DD5 one, can it be installed with DDR4 RAM?

but lian-li O11 Vision white is a bigger case, should i go for ATX motherboard (white) to match and look nicer?

ok thanks a lot bro.. will check them out..

besides, notice that most of u recommend samsung SSD than Lexar or T-Force one, is it better?

besides, bolehland never has this motherboard?

Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE

icic... besides, if i want a white rig... does the PSU colour matters? or it will just simply be hidden so no difference?

but sadly seems like not many DD5 white motherboard to choose from...

besides, what is 8+1+1 for motherboard, or 16+1+1?

icic. ok. ok..

besides, for SSD,

there are choices of
1) samsung
2) lexar
3) kingston
4) teamgroup t-force

which one is better?

ic... there is a new samsung 990 evo that supports both pcie 4.0 and 5.0 and cost rm100 lesser but read/write speed slower... does it make sense?

i had shortlisted all the items that should look like a white coloured rig.
both cases i do not know if they come with built-in fans, it seems like H9 Flow comes with 4 fans but not RGB.
O11 Vision seems like no fans at all.

i am willing to spend the budget just want to ensure i can choose the better brand among the specs i had chosen..
e.g. is the brand of the RAM chosen ok or i should go for other brand RAM?

NZXT H9 Flow



LIANLI PC-O11 VISION WHITE

i know... but i have some preference components brands and models that i want to use... that's the reason why it costs more...

rm10k is probably my maximum budget... (initially before i decided to go with a white coloured rig was rm8k)

and also motherboard i prefer to use a ATX form factor one since i am using a bigger case instead of MATX one...

i am buying from idealtech, so somehow certain brands and models u shared they are not selling too..

ic... but white graphic card really not much choice... i searched around, only two brands available.. one is asus one and one is msi one only...

yes, it has an LCD that can display info, picture or even video... the resolution does not look very good though..



as a contrast... NZXT KRAKEN ELITE 360 RGB (WHITE, Price: RM1479) is nicer.. the LCD resolution is damn good..



maybe i should combine lian-li O11 Vision white case with NZXT KRAKEN ELITE 360 RGB white...

i want to stick the case i like and with the cooler with LCD can make it looks really nice.. as case can be used for very long time and I am sure it will feel nice every time i use the computer, so this initial investment is quite worth it after all...
(i care more about appearance than other things..)

if there is better brand than asus/msi that idealtech is selling which i can choose i am ok to opt for them one...

icic. ok.. will take a look at the thermalright one...

the reason is that i am initially wanted to buy from them becos they are having promotion which they give free monitor which is worth about rm400 (full hd 60Hz msi one)... and their package computer seems ok becos i need to buy a new gaming computer of at least 4070 super graphic card... then if i dun want the free monitor, also can top up rm799 for a 2k gaming monitor (asus) which retails at rm1299...

so i tot overall not bad deal...so based on the package PC, i upgraded some stuff and also add a separate lian-li case and made a deposit rm1k already on friday night at their shop.. balance to be paid once the computer is ready. then friday night i research further and talked to the bros in lowyat here and realised that i might be able to get cheaper price for same spec elsewhere...but i already made the deposit so i am stuck with them... at the same time, after research online further and realised that i might be too tight up with the free monitor promo thingy and package PC thingy by them which it limits what i can buy instead of what i want eventually. so immediately on saturday morning before even their shop opens at 11am, i whatsapp them to hold the order first becos i want to edit my order.

unless i can get full refund from them if i proceed with the cancellation, else i am stuck that i need to buy from them rite? although i check their website it seems like the full refund is still possible if the order is not delivered.

yes, my CPU and GPU are not the highest models so it should still be ok..

ya will try to see if I can still get the full refund now or not.

The case is big so if using 240mm one it will not look that perfect even it is perfectly ok also.

dear sifus,

i have the chance to get back the refund of my deposit now.

Can anyone recommend me a best value rig combination now?

I want this as my case so this is fixed.
Case: Lian Li O11 Vision (White)

processor i prefer intel minimum i5 (latest gen).
graphic card i prefer nvidia that minimally can play AAA titles such as Howard Legacy at 1080p.

theme wise i prefer a all white rig with RGB.

budget wise last time it was between rm8k to 10k.
but any lower now I will be happy.

other thing like AIO can accept other brands... just case must use the lian-li one...

ok.ok. thanks. will consider this...

may i know where is the best place to get the above parts?

ic.ic... are they ok?

4060 still have better performance than the 3060 even the vram is more on the lattter. Not to mention 4060 has DLSS 3 which can last one longer for at least full hd or even 2k gaming for longer period of time.

And why ur cpu so ex? Even 14th i5 higher end processor also much cheaper than this.
