Budget (including currency): 

Country: SEA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

So basically the picture is a build i am gonna built. The weird thing in parts over here is that they will never restock old version and only sells the latest ones so, i have no choice to upgrade every 5-8 years depending on games I played.

 

I am looking for suggestions on pc case (need easy maintenance which are filters which doesn't need to dismantle the whole case to remove dust), motherboard what would you recommend for non sli user (maybe be gaming at 1080p /1440p if able to support upcoming games such as back 4 blood, the day before)

 

The parts that are duplicate would be because they are priced similar which i will take whichever stock that is available.

 

Lastly, GPU will be using my current one since the price have been ridiculously high. Will obtain one in future maybe 1-2 years time when the price stabilizes. For the power supply i will downgrade to a 650 Watt.

 

Could provide your feedback on part I have selected if you feel that I will achieve better performance with small increment in budget.

Why not get a prebuilt with a gpu? The igpu is NOT going to play any games but the simplest onesat 1440p and is at best a lowest settings 1080p for lighter games gpu. Most of the time you have to go to 900p or 720p low to get playable results in AAA games.

My bad glossed over it? What is your current one and what kind of class of gpu would you aim for in the future?

 

Also for gaming 32gb of ram is beyond overkill and I do not recommend you waste money on it

 

For storage a 980 pro is so beyond overkill no game will use its speed currently and you can just get a cheaper driver or larger drive for the price of it.

 

Just get a windows 10 key from ebay for like 3$ works and is cheap

 

You can just get the 7200rpm blue drive not really a difference.

 

As for a case a phanteks p300a MESH will do fine. Its as simple as take off the front panel and go clean. (quick pull from the bottom).

980 pro is for boot up and the other drive is for storage.

Ram i propose because afraid future games will eat more than 16 Gb of memory.

I think longest gpu are around 310 mm there should be enough space?

Yeah and a cheap sata drive like a mx500 will boot a second later and perform the same in any other gaming and general use task. Not saying you should get a mx500 just an example.

Ram is easy to upgrade anyways but why are you mixing ram kits? Makes little sense if you really want 32gb then get a 2x16gb kit

The p300a MESH (again the MESH is super important for good airflow) can easily fit that.

It is an options for either a 16 gb kit or a 32 gb kit and if lets say I won't be using 32 gb anytime lets say 5 years time for gaming i will opt for 16gb kit as i am worried that there wont be ram kit available where i am from since they are reluctant to restock the an older gen so i try to future proof whichever part able as i know DDR 5 is coming this year so usually takes 2-3 years for it makers to make it a norm like how DDR 4 is now.

 

While i have yet to decide on a motherboard.

A b560m pro4 is good and inexpensive normally. It will also allow you to get a smaller case as it is micro atx so you can get a smaller case if you so wish.

 

I cant predict the future so if you think you'll need it and can afford it get a 2x16gb kit. If ram will be around for a couple more years then you can upgrade later but if not then it will be a buy it now scenario.
