If the GPU size is nice fit, than will it be difficult to change other version in the future?

most of the time yes. but beside physical size, power degrading also will affect the next gpu u gonna purchase. (meaning now GTX 970 next time maybe GTX 1060 (if u doing a cheap upgrade) or GTX 2050 (if this model still really need a psu power. as for when this will, only nvidia knows we won't know.)

what u mean by power degrading? eg from 600w to 450w, than u cant use the GPU that require 600w already?
For the 1k series that u say, is it this? http://imgur.com/a/k9VuN

power degrading is like when u have a use a pc for some times (normal will be in years later) and the psu have to keep running to provide sufficient power to your pc. and years later the capacitor loses its efficiency and it will starts to draw lesser power to support the pc.

its totally different from gpu supported watts. those watts comparison is just for gpu to get its support from the psu. meaning the gpu would require X watts + your system watts to give u a total watts that they need your psu to draw.

maths: GPU power + system power = total power draws, round up to the nearest watts that is required for your total power.

e.g. : 300W gpu + 140W system = total 440W ~ 450W psu but best get a 550W or above watts psu just in case of the power degradation.

anyway both of the products u shown aren't 1k series. they are both 900 series. see the 9 and 10 at the front of the product, it means their generations.

if you buy parts from a shop, wont you get 'chop' by them?

Get from reputable one such as PC Theme, Fuwell, Cybermind, just to name a few. If you Google, you can find their pricelist. Do a price comparison among them with also Lazada and Qoo10 deals to get a a better feel of the prices.

Lazada and Qoo10 sometimes with their coupons etc will offer a better deal than shops. Throw in credit cards promo, rebates etc, you will save more.

You have to spend time to read up and compare. Buying off the shelves will save you the trouble but you miss out the fun and effort to build your own PC.

so if power degraded, what do i do? do i change the parts?

this one i mean. http://imgur.com/a/0XNiF . Is this computer ideal?

still ok in terms of specs, just the gpu is just decent enough to play most games, just that more graphic intensive games u might need to lower your settings to either med or low-mid graphic.

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

so if power degraded, what do i do? do i change the parts?

well if u intend to change parts in 3 years later than u can do a check on your psu. (even though best get a professional with a tools to test, but normally general psu is decent enough to last more than 3 years to 5 years but if u are those using pc for a very long time, all u can do is hope it still good after changing other parts. otherwise u can stick with it till u need to upgrade to something powerful.)

**** spec for the price. just diy youself. you gotta grow the balls somedays might as well be today. its not rocket science. if you need advice for parts list, bros here will help you.

if comparing this with the previous 2, which is more worth it? Because i rarely see people buying asus computer, so still have some doubts about them.
For the latest one that i show, it is the latest version(1k series right)?

Well I dun see any between the 1st post links and latest post with the links. Its like both same thing.

Anyway both shows 900 series instead of 1k series.

Nope. 10 series refers to gtx 1050/1060/1070. The one in your link are 960/950... = 900 series (previous gen)... You see the difference?

Looks ok leh, seems like gaming rigs are not as expensive as last time.

Although I will never buy this over DIY, where 2.5k can get me alot more.

same as what foo say, looks good but not worth it, den again since u want a high end pc, this is the one with the highest and better specs. u see.

Seeing all the ROG desktop builds proposed here, you can DIY something of similar performances for about half the price.

 

[WoShiXiaoMing]

Also will it be better to buy them at SITEX, or normal shop like courts and harvy norman?

anyone can answer this??
