Hi Everyone,

I'm gonna replace my almost 5 year old rig soon. I've come up with a list of parts to buy as I'm gonna completely overhaul my rig. Any comments/advice on my list? :s12:

Some notes:

  1. Will use back my HDD (2x WD 1 TB Blue which I bought just a few months ago)

  • Will Use back my LCD (1080p), KB, Mouse, Speakers

  • I do some OC'ing but not the crazy type.

buy online for ssd & gpu. buy motherboard and processor from pc theme. Power supply and casing up to u. if you drive buy case from store if not buy online and they send to you.

Unless you need store to fix your desktop, most of the item can buy online is cheaper if you add in the discount, read the forum for detail, except for motherboard and processor

lazada 11/11 got sale

I can fix on my own. Yeah I'm looking online now and comparing prices as well.

I'm looking at PC Theme's Price list now and I can't find their Skylake Section.

Do you really need a FULL tower?

I was asking myself that too! But My GFX Consideration is a pretty big GFX and I do want maximum airflow, Watching a few vids of the enthoo pro gave me a few ideas for additional fans in the case to improve airflow.

So Size of GFX and Airflow were the things I considered for case. Enthoo pro seems to be able meet all these requirements.

I don't like tradepac. their price list quote me different when i at their shop. need to get full system for discount, my friend go ask the same thing get different pricing and cheaper, they just don't like my face. So now i only go online or let PC theme earn my $$.

This is not bad, remove the HDD tray can add any gpu.

Case that have good air flow front in, rear and top out is ok.


As for power supply, for me, i go with any silver or gold rating with min 5 warranty that service center that is close to me.


Oooo. What are your thoughts on Fractal's R5 though? That was actually my consideration between that and Enthoo Pro.

Sigh. I got my current system's Mobo and Chip from them 4 years ago and remembered them not being like that. Sigh. Always a catch to things.
