RM 4,000.00 BUILD

tongaz86 — Sun, 07 May 2017 12:58:02 +0800

As per title the budget limit will be RM 4,000.00 (no need storage)

The main purpose of the rig would be gaming.Resolution will be at 1080p. Want to see how sifu-sifu would do differently for the set budget. Let's build.

This is mine

RYZEN 5 1600 - RM1039
Free cooler which is better then Ryzen 5 1400. More core than Intel i5 (which is 6 core). Unlock CPU which is cheaper then Intel counter part(got options overclock if cpu become bottleneck in the future). Going unlock Intel part also increase motherboard price.

MSI RX580 GAMING X 8GB - RM1295
Solid performance for 1080p. Extra 4GB VRAM for a little future proof. Free Sync monitor also much cheaper than G- Sync. Not much difference in price then RX400 series. Latest Polaris although overclock only.

ASROCK AB350 GAMING K4 - RM519
This part is where I'm not sure yet what to get. Just decide to get ATX since have extra PCIE and ram slot for a little future proof. Support overcloking and also match my color build.(wish there were cheaper wifi motherboard)

KINGSTON HYPER X FURY 2400MHZ 8GB - RM340
Not to high not to low. FPS don't gain much anyway from faster ram. Get 1 stick 8GB 1st and see how my usage 1st. Seen some games almost use 8GB so will add another 8GB if necessary.

EVGA 650W GQ PSU - RM459
Got tier 2 PSU since got overclocking capable rig. Nice 5 year warranty for a peace of mind also. Semi modular which is + in my opinion and make more sense then fully modular.

NZXT S340
This part is more about taste. I like minimalist design especially front. Still not sure what to get...might get cheaper to save cost for other parts.

Grand total - RM4051 ( a little bit over budget)

So how will sifu2 build yours own rig. Just want to learn if I miss anything from experience sifu here.

Been looking for my 1st laptop.Going in and out shoping complex asking stupid question to the sales person.Comparing spec on internet reading review of laptop.Finaly come down to 2 option(can consider other if can buy from shop not by internet pls)

GC-both have GT555 and both have criple version but Asus seem to have better "cacat" GC than Lenovo.Will it greatly effect my gaming experience?Any other option beside this two that have non criple GC?

GPU-both will be i5 nothing special here couse i7 is out of my reach.

Design-i really dont like Asus N55F design always thinking will regret it in the future.But i like the Lenovo metal?Palm rest.

RAM-both have 4G ram with option up to 8G.4 already enought right?

Sound-Which is better JBL or Bang and Olsen?

Storage-not realy care about this option

Battery-not realy care also

Weight-not a problem

Budget-below 3k

The main thing i want to do with my laptop is playing GAME and surfing the internet.And i would really like if i can play COMPANY OF HEROES in FULL or HIGH setting.

Ps-i can have the Asus for Rm2500++ while Lenovo no price cut.
