You linked all the parts on PC Part Picker... but not a full list...?

 

Whatever, it's a good build 

[ivan134]

Better quality and smaller PSU. Or is there a reason you need 750 watts?

Idk much about PSU so I take 750w..

Because I wanna overclock maybe ?

How much watts can this rig take ? (Stock and Overclock)

You only need 550W with this build to be quite honest, but the 650W GS isn't that much more expensive than the 550W model, so I suggested that. Go with the one I linked.

Gold rating and it's a better quality power supply.

Also as a bonus, the cables are all black so you wont see any rainbows through your case window.

I will think about it because of my budget

Then there are other more sensible places to shave off costs. If this is just a gaming rig, you don't need the i7. Get an i5 6600k. Your case is also really expensive. You should look at the Fractal Design Define S. A power supply is not the place you want to cheap out on.

[Limit Breaker]

Not just for gaming but editing too and other stuff. Plus it's Future Proof.

At first I wanna buy corsair carbide spec 03 but the cpu cooler too large for that case so I saw nzxt n450 and I was like fuck that spec 03 case.haha I going with this one because of the looks.. plus the air flow is quiet good in this case.

Not trying to pick a fight here or provoke but generally you should be open to suggestions when asking on the forum for help. But other than that the term ''future proof'' is really loose. The other guys are kinda right though, no reason to skimp on a PSU instead of going all out on a case. But hey what do we know, we are only here to help and it's your money and you can do whatever you want with it.

did u think I was saying "fuck that" to him ? haha no.. I was saying that at the moment when I saw the nzxt case not to him.. ya I agree to you but I know I will never change the pc like 5 year later. So I take i7, plus I like to open alot things at one time on my pc so maybe the i7 will help . I will manage some money for that psu. hehe

get a better psu

why? because a decent 650W psu is better than a 750W normal psu

benefits are more stable system for better overclocking and what not

 

you can try getting some seasonic psu (like the M12II evo i have, i bought it from All IT)

 

500~550W is just enough for your rig (the 390 is power hungry), getting a 600~650W decent psu is more than enough for overclocking

 

other than your psu, the others are perfect (and eerily resembles my computer lol)

im not sure whats available at low yat at this moment lol, go look for a psu yourself

but im using my M12II bronze evo edition from All IT, so if you're lazy to find a better/cheaper one, just use this

i never ordered online too, maybe get another gpu then? the gigabyte isnt bad too

if you want colour matching and almost same performance, the gtx 970 is also not bad

not sure if msi have the red and black variant of it though lol

just get the cheapest components out of all shop `-`

 

and make sure you ask about warranty in case components are DOA, is it 1 on 1 swap if DOA? or need wait for 3 months shipping lol

I can't find EVGA power supply at lowyat.. What you think about Corsair RM650x power supply ? maybe abit expensive but I think it's worth it..

I can't find the MSI Radeon r9 390 so i will buy the sapphire r9 390 for RM1550

i find the i7 6700k for RM1449

i don't know if i can find the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 2666mhz but the seller say he has the kingston hyperx fury 2666mhz.. what is the different between the 2 ram ? to be honest i scared to buy the hyperx fury idk why haha..  

plus idk why the seller always tell me to buy more then 650w power supply  they always tell me to buy the 850w  

worth it too buy nzxt n450 for rm 580 ? or i can get more less then that ?

i think i gonna buy the pc part on Monday btw today is my Birthday  hahaha  

ssd for Rm430 hdd rm313

motherboard rm700

cooler rm 350

What you think about the price ? can i get more cheaper ?

vengeance lpx or kingston hyperx ram are both fine for skylake systems, just make sure you get 2 sticks in the same box, for best compatibility

in a side note, i have 2x4gb vengeance lpx 2666mhz i wanna sell, interested?

because they think the gpu will burn down your house, ignore them, most shopkeepers in low yat are idiots `-`

haha maybe u did't ask for less... i make them to give me less by saying the other guy can give me cheaper hahaha  

sorry i want the (2x8gb) ram.. maybe in future i will add 8 more gb or maybe 16 who knows haha  

at first i want the spec 03 but the cooler that i want can't fit in that case so better go with nzxt n450 because of the air flow and look nice so i can always see the case and feel that i did good hahaha  

hehe thx  

Samsung evo 850 250gb.. if that ssd expensive i will make him to give me less haha

Motherboard is the asus z170 pro gaming but i also think the motherboard abit expensive but idk.. is rm 700 expensive for that motherboard ? and the other guy give me rm690 for that motherboard but i don't trust him..maybe used one... they always make it cheaper like rm 5 - rm 10 like i buying nasi lemak at they store  huhuhu

ya the dark rock pro 3.. the guy say he want to clear stock so he give rm 350 but that bs i think because the other guy give me for rm 330 but that guy don't have the cooler at his store at that moment so i scared if he take the used one so i will buy the rm 350 but i will ask him to give me more cheaper..

got mine for rm340 new in the box

but be aware if you use this cooler, it blocked off my ram slot nearest to the cpu, thats why i have 2x4gb ram extra `-`
