But then again..

I heard that Windows 7 would cost around RM500 ?


So that makes my total cost up to 3990 .

Which is more expensive than the prebuilt ACer one...

The OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium or Vista, which Acer uses, costs less than a full retail pack. IINM, it's around 380 for the 64bit version.

To achieve parity in terms of pricing with the Acer, you could sacrifice the 1TB HDD and get a 500GB one instead. The end price will be more or less similar to the Acer with Piumiu's build outperforming it in terms of gaming experience.

On and by the way, buy enough components from one particular shop and they'll waive the installation fee. So you needn't know how to install hardware yourself to get a custom build. Neat eh?

Why is Intel X58 mobo so darn expensive? Cost around RM900 I believe? Because it supports up to 3 g-card?

Can I know if having the motherboard and graphic card produced from a same company is better (as in way better or not) then produced from different company?
