aw man and here i am thinking about SAPPHIRE 7850. sure over budget -,-

can reduce proc go to try
Intel Dual Core G630 at RM164

then top up budget for GPU

but not advisable cos the dual core may bottleneck the GPU

Hi, thx for the respond.. Do u mind explain y do i need a good gpu for my HTPC rig build? TQ!

maybe now is the right time to tapau my brother guess i'm going for
FSP Hexa 500W
Asrock H61M
Intel i3 3220
gston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz 4GB
HD7870
sure reach 1.5k so much for old pc

good enough

but RAM if the 1333mHz is cheaper, go for it saja.. 1600mHz like no huge diff

well, you said you wanted light gaming

and since ure gonna use your TV, ill assume 1920x1080p gaming

and with the GTX660 Ti, you can pretty much play most/recent games at med-high settings

cause for an HTPC, an i3 is sufficient.. unless you want an i5?

really? thanks a lot! gonna go for it but now's holiday mode . btw viewnet stated that PRICE IS STRICTLY FOR BUNDLE PURPOSE ONLY. so need to buy moar than 3 items or something?

Guys can you tell me if this MOBO support surround sound?

http://my.msi.com/product/mb/H77MA-G43.html#/?div=Basic

There are 6 audio out ports but does it mean it can transmit surround/stereo sound to GPU then via HDMI to TV? Or it's only capable of outputting 6 analog signals?

bundle usually means when buying in huge amounts?

so if you buy full rig then can ask for discount i guess

but if i buy 2 or 3 items, price is just according to the pdf isn't it? on the 2nd thought i think it's for bundle only. anyway thanks for the great help

[Purpose] GAMING

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig] keyboards/mouse/speaker

[Game or software that use frequently] Games

[Personal Preference Brand] NONE

thanks guys!

Still H61 mobo?

Asrock B75M-DGS RM189 (idealtech)

hahaha H61 not good enough?

kla next time i change to B75

Intel Core i5 3470 3.2GHz RM565
MSI H77MA-G43 mainboard RM289
Corsair 1333MHz ram 4GB x2 RM110
Sapphire HD7970 3GB DDR5 RM1299

Alrite, actually its a HTPC rig for my parents, n wad i meant light gaming is like random flash games.. If possible i would like to upgrade other things instead of a good gpu which is mainly for gaming.. So is there anything that could enhance the movie experiences? TQVM!

You can take other mobo such as ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP that have Optical SPDIF Out Port. Futher reading on enabling audio through HDMI http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/GeForce-GTX-660Ti.pdf

plan to upgrade my gc, currently am using HD4850, interested on HD7750 and HD7770.

i only play starcraft II, hd movie, photoshop, and plan to connect to my 50" plasma in near future, using CM 550W and e8400. should i go for 7770? or 7750 is already enough?
