Buyer's Guide II: Extreme, High-End, Mid-Range, Budget, and Entry Level Systems - Part 3

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

Looking to get a new pc, will not be OC-ing.

Some components that I wish to have:

Mobo: No idea here. Would like one with wifi + bluetooth
CPU: i7-6700
GPU: Single GTX 1070 (Palit SJS? $688) no need multiple gpu
Storage: 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD
RAM: 8? or 16?
Casing: Looking for mid-tower. Window not necessary, white colour preferably

can anyone advise on the other components (no need peripherals, monitor)? hopefully the total price can be lesser than 2k (the lower the better ) likely will just go to PCT and get all from there

Was thinking of i7 because I read that dx12 games will be able to make use of multi core? Unless i5 will be good enough.

well i5 also the same cores as i7 just that i7 have HT. but i still believe that i5 is still acceptable in gaming.

Need help deciding on what mobo to buy.

I planned to use i5 - 6600k and GTX 1080.

Mainly use for gaming.

If u want to OC get a z170 board and a 3rd party cpu cooler as well.

Next is the case u using can fit which one then buy the boards that fits.

Thanks.

In addition, what is the best monitor to go with single GTX 1080?

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

Thanks.

Anything @1440p or above resolution and 60Hz or more refresh rates.

Anyway I dun even know your budget and needs , it's very hard to give u reco.

I mean like almost any monitor that specific can be the best of its own.

What rig can i build with a budget of $800 sgd? inclusive of OS and possibly 16gb ram and OEM OS. How much does OS cost these days?

Thanks!

I will get new HDD. i believe my HDD crashed.

So with $800, i will get:

CPU + MOBO (i3 is ok)
1TB HDD
16gb RAM
Casing
PSU
Graphics card (necessary? or can i use onboard?)
OEM OS

I still think u will need a GPU cos onboard most likely need to get h170 to have 3 display working. I mean if onboard GPU is good for you den use it.

anyway since its ur hdd spoil den change hdd can already. why build another one?

nv i forget that u need DP, which need to really need to go find, but dun think that there is a lot of onboard have dp.

OK, without the OS, possible to do $800?

Thanks a lot!

Just curious, can this graphics card output to 4 x 22 inch display?

Not sure about that, because, i dun usually build a gpu with more than 3 display. but u can try to source for the gpu and see if capable of doing so or not.

Ok thanks a lot. Just one question.
There are also graphics card close to $100 that can support 3 monitors. Why do we go for this one that costs $200?
