    I'm waiting for the right time to get one. Well, once the graphics card price goes back to normal.

    Will be using the system for:
    - Gaming - should be on 1080p, FPS games, FIFA, PES, etc. (until I get a better monitor :haha:, still using Dell E248WFP 24" that @Adrian Wong bought for me)
    - Watching MKVs, rmvb, etc.
    - Converting 720p files to 480p (to save space :dance:)

    Any comments are most welcomed. :)

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 + Wraith Spire - RM 990
    ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming - RM 699
    GSkill Flare X 2X8GB DDR4 2400mhz (15-15-15-39) - RM 599
    ASUS GTX1070 8G D5 DUAL OC - RM 2459
    Corsair RM750x - RM 690
    Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Edition (ATX/ Window) - RM 489
    SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB V-NAND (540/520) - RM 477
    WD 4TB Caviar Red (for NAS/Storage) - RM 721​

    *** components prices I took from multiple price lists :mrgreen:

    Wow, that GTX1070 looks really pricey! It's like two times of my PS4 when I bought it! :Thumb:

    Anyway, the Ryzen 5 looks like a good choice. I'm eyeing on the Ryzen 3 too - it's more towards my small time GCC work at home. :thumb:

    Wow.... 1070. Super lich! Personally, I don't really see the point of spending that much when you are still using 1080p monitor. And the gain is not that significant to justify close to double the 1060. You can probably thank the miners. :whistle:

    True... dunno why that 1070 so expensive. ASUS GTX1070 8G D5 DUAL OC is RM 2459. :D

    Still around RM 7.1k. Crazy... 1060 also around 1.6-1.8k. :wall:

    I always get the cheapest reference card available. It's basically NVidia's 'design'. I will most definitely avoid Asus as it's the most expensive of all brands.

    Where to get reference card? Most shops I see all selling branded ones... :think:

    I mean branded ones, but based on reference card design. And don't bother with OC version. Most of the time, it's just a BIOS flash away. :lol:

    Viewnet has MSI 1070 for 'just' RM2179. Can't believe I'm saying this to Dashken. :haha:

    Or maybe I should wait for Radeon RX Vega 56? :haha:

    Personally, I would get GTX1060, get the 6GB one.

    That's what I thought. 1080 on 1080p would be awesome. :haha:
