MSI 770 C 45
Kingston 2 x 2gb 1333
Samsung 750gb (HD754JJ)
Sapphire HD 5770
Thermaltake V3 (dont know whether this casing inclusive any psu)
PSU - pls advice which one suitable for above specs if above not included psu

Intel
I5 760 2.8ghz
MSI H55M P33
Kingston 2 x 2gb 1333
Samsung 750gb (HD754JJ)
Sapphire HD 5770
Thermaltake V3 (dont know whether this casing inclusive any psu)
PSU - pls advice which one suitable for above specs if above not included psu

Since PC fair is coming, dont have the latest price for the above items. Kindly input for me & which shop in LY is reliable for best price.

Thanks in advance

Happy Computing

Budget? Change the 5770 to GTX460 if possible (it's OK if you could not), change the casing to CM Elite Black 430 (RM139 @ Viewnet) for better cooling options and more space, for PSU get ST05F from AllIT.

My friend want to build a new system which can play the Starcraft 2 (including monitor, keyboard and mouse), please recommend for me, thanks.

Intel i7-980X
EVGA Classified LE
Patriot 24GB 1600MHz DDR3 Triple Channel Kit
Sapphire 5970 in CrossFireX mode
Corsair F-Series 160GB SSD
OCZ Fatality 1000W


All costs at least RM15k, thank you.

is there is any better motherboard recommend? beside this MSI 770 C-45? my friend spoil 3 times in 1 month..this board easy suddenly burn..i dont want get any trouble maker mobo...budget around rm400

since the mobo is supporting crossfire.. so i will add 1 more gc in future~ so is tat psu enuf 2 support 2 gc? o.o
oh ya.. i need some cpu cooler coz i wan do OC on the i5~ like from 2.6 > 3.0 or 3.2~ suggest pl0x~ price btw 100-250~ thx

the P7P55 LX doesn't truly supports CF, as it will lock the second GPU in x4 mode, which will throttle down the CF performance quite significantly.
if you're really planning to go for CF, take MSI P55 GD65 instead, its priced around RM545
and to CF HD5850, it is recommended to get 600W true power PSU, maybe the Xigmatek NRP-PC602, RM319
or better yet, a 650W PSU.

actually the stock cooler is enough for you to do mild OC, however if you don't mind spending more for a CPU cooler,
then maybe get the CM Hyper 212+, cost around RM100, currently the most recommended cooler.



Gigabyte MA-770T-UD3P, or Asus M4A77TD Pro

o~~ okie~~ thx 4 teh fast reply going 2 get those at pc fair~ hav a nice day

does it make sense to pair up a GTX460 to a 32" 720p tv??

or will that be a waste because of lower resolution

dont get those at PC fair, not cheaper and limited of hardware choices, get them at Low Yat Plaza DURING PC fair, less crowded, and easy to nego with the seller.

You mean HD Ready TV (1366*768)? Not worth it. Even a 4850 is beyond the necessity, 1366*768 is an easy peasy job even for a 9600GT which costs around RM250 (new)

Well that's the technical part, the subjective part is most likely you cannot discern between HD Ready and Full HD on 32" anyway


LYP has never been 'less crowded'
