Help me decide which build

[ncnarith]

Hi everyone!

 

Country: Cambodia

Purpose: Gaming at 1080p for most modern game at 1080p, 60p, on High to Ultra Setting.

 

I am trying to buy a laptop for my brother or build him a pc.

 

(this is a link I post about a laptop http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/511056-gigabtyle-p35w-or-msi-ge72-6qf/#entry6812555)

 

Please kindly check and comment for my 2 options:

 

Option 1: Build = 1,499.00 USD

 

CPU Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor 230

CPU Fan None  

MB MSI Z170A GAMING M3 199

RAM Team Elite DDR4 2400MHZ 8GB 59

PSU Super Flower Leadex Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply 169

DVD-RW Internal DVD-RW 25

GPU MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card  419

CASE Cooler Master CM SGC-1000-KWN1 STORM ENFORCER 135

Pri HD Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  185

Sec HD Toshiba HDD 3.5 7200rpm SATA III 2TB 78    

                                                     

Option 2: Buy Brand Desktop PC = 1,619.00 USD

 

ASUS ROG G20CB SERIES 2016

- Intel Core i7-6700 Upto 3.4GHz
- RAM: 12GB DDR4 (2133MHz)
- HDD : 128GB (M.2-SSD) + 1TB
- Optical Drive: DVD-RW
- VGA 1 : Intel HD Graphics 530
- VGA 2 : NDIVIA GTX970 Upto 8GB
- Wifi: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
- USB 3.1 x2, HDMI-Out x1, 7.1 Channel Audio
- Software: Aegis II, Asus Command
- Windows 10 License
- Weight: 6 Kg

 

Please note that spare part and everything here is expensive, which is why my Option 1 build total price is up to 1,499.00. The option 2 or brand one has Window 10 license, so I could say their price is about the same.

 

Thanks a lot for you time and every input.

Put a 390 in the 2nd build and your good

Go with the 970. Better Choice atm.

It is brand PC. and we do not have much customization here. If the shop has brand like this, we cannot really swap for other options.

[ncnarith]

Reddit sw swap= 20-30 bucks for windows.  Also, country and purpose of build?

 

I have edit the post and include my country and purpose.

May you share a link, if it is not much trouble- lol, for the window?

[ncnarith]

Go with the 970. Better Choice atm.

 

Option 2?

 

I hope to receive more input for this ROG one if you have any experience or have heard of it.

[Kirky2k15]

Go with the 970. Better Choice atm.

Really most would say 390 is better right now...

Please check below the total price in my country:

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JF3Vxr

 

Total Price is 1,695.00 USD

 

Please not that not all part are the same, so I use alternative (with similar capacity).

https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/comments/3xw2h6/h_windows_7_8_81_10_windows_server_office_visio/  Just noticed you were in Cambodia, so buy the cheap windows from this guy.

 

Reliable? Lol

[ncnarith]

So, basically, in total in your country their build would cost more than the two above, or?  Is there like a set store that's online that you are buying from?

Ya, it's what everyone does.

 

The two above (option 1 & 2) is the exact price. Not really a set store, but they dun discount easily, since the shop already  offer better price than others.

[ncnarith]

It might be easier for us to see the stores rather than using pcpp.

 

Here is the shop website.

Honestly, if he's playing more GPU extensive games for the next 2 generations then the one I gave you would be more than enough if it is around the price of option 2 as it has more power in that area.  However, that 390 > 970, so if you wanna keep the price down then go with option 1 as that 390 is more powerful, but the 980ti performs around the same as a titan x.  The store you linked has weird prices for certain parts.

 

CPU Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor $249.00  

Motherboard  Asus H170-PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $159.00  

Memory Team Elite 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $59.00  

Storage  A-Data Premier Pro SP600 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $109.00    

Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $78.00  

Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card $750.00  

Case Aerocool Aero-1000 ATX Mid Tower Case $88.00  

Power Supply  Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply $169.00  

Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer $25.00  

 

Total: $1686.00  

 

So I tried to build the 980 ti. I think this should be good for the 1440p monitor. What do you think?
