DX11 is not really tat important yet to me but the low power consump of 5770 is 1 point i shld consider

and 4890 is the higest of its 48 series ... performance wise shld be better...

both hv pro n cons...

tats why i abit

the lga1156 is better because it has a faster cpu at stock and when overclocked,support for both cf and sli in the same board
but it costs rm380 more....

personally,me thinks anyone buying a i5 750 cpu and not oc it is wasting their money as at stock it is just a little bit faster than the overall cheaper phenom II 955,but when oced the i5 750's lead is quite a lot as it has lower clockspeed but the same performance of a 3.4ghz deneb cpu bu the i5 750 can still be oced to more than 3.3ghz easily

Balance money save get CM scout for 290 and Hyper 212+ for 95.
Also get Pioneer DVDRW instead of LG.
A decent hardware deserve a decent casing. Looks better on your eyes as well.

budget at 3.5K and i wont stretch it anymore since i got other things to buy.
I5 750 = ~RM750
MSI P55 GD65 = ~RM599
Kingston KVR DDR3 2GBx2 = ~RM300
Graphic Card? = Rm???
SilverStone Strider ST56F 560W PSU or should i go for modular one? = ~RM298
Prolimatech Mega Shadow Deluxe Edition = ~RM289
LG DVD WRITER = ~RM75
Cooler Master Scout = ~RM300
keyboard & Mouse = ~RM50
another LCD perhaps if i have enough money left? = RM???

current estimated total = RM2661

well,you can get the HD5850 RM905 [doesn't matter which brand,just take the cheapest].if you want to get a hd5850,get it now as amd will be increasing it's price by 20usd

gtx285<hd5850

if you take a XFX HD4870 RM490,you can take an Acer X203H LCD for RM400 and still be within budget

if i take HD5850 i will be overbudget given that i need to buy Win 7 since the HD is DX11 think i'll wait for nvidia next gen and see what's what.
which nvidia counterpart is on par with HD4870 performance or maybe lower by not much that cost about or less than HD4870? i fancy nvidia driver more than ati.
if the card can give decent playable fps at mid setting on almost all new game i am good to go.
