Another forumer recommende ASRock Z77 Extreme and Asus P8Z77-M.

What about them? Are they overclockable?

I do not have good experience with Asus. Used to have a mobo and gpu, where both of them broke within 12 months of usage.

Thanks. Any ideas about rams? Should I get 2 x 8GB (keep empty slots for future upgrade) or 4 x 4GB? I guess normal value rams would do for me?

Which version of Microsoft Windows should I get? Windows 7 or 8?

As for SSD, I have came down to choose between OCZ Vertex 4 128GB and Intel 520 120GB. What do you guys think?

for me, I think 2x8GB is better choice. less stress on memory controller and 2 sticks of course consume less power than 4 sticks.

SSD go for Intel 520 for reliability and superb support service.

Thanks, I guess Intel is the way to go then!

I will not be doing any CF or SLI at all (might not even install a graphic card now). What do you guys think about ASRock Z77 Pro4-M? Is this the ASRock version of Asus P8Z77-M? Or I should go for ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M instead?

I agree on the RAM sticks, not too sure abt the stress and power but it'll definitely enable you to place a max of 32GB in the future

Intel supposedly have great aftermarket services so go with that wink.gif

You mentioned that you won't overclock it, no need take K version, and the motherboard can go for H77 variants.

Sapphire 7770OC Edition is about RM450 but i'd recommend you up your budget a lil to get a Sapphire 7850 around RM590? If want new games on ultra or high your going to need a bigger budget.

Mmm I guess invest in a GTX670 around 1k. With your processor it might bottleneck it's performance a little but you can always get a better processor in the future and even with the bottleneck of your proc your going to see a MASSIVE performance gain when compared to your old card.

Yes 7850 those games no problem whatsoever but if your asking for latest games high or ultra maybe not.
