to All Sifus... i got 1 question.

If say i got this mobo... Asus P8H77-M [i will use HD 6770 at first] den will want to upgrade to GTX 680 there will be no issues right?

kinda newbie here... coz tomorrow will buy my first custom rig

Is the performance difference between the Sapphire 7950 Dual X and the sapphire 7950 OC worth paying like rm50 more?

From what I've known... The Sapphire HD7950 OC comes with Dual-X cooler.
Did you mean the Flex version?

Why don't get ATX Mobo with extra PCI slot and get a WiFi adapter? More upgrade potential and can utilize the space in the casing

take asrock fm2a75 series(if u can find it)not sure malaysia retail got sales this one....one of forum member buy the a10 5800k , 2x4gb 1866ram,asrock fm2a75 series mobo for rm750+ in newegg including shipping...Malaysia amd sucks..

can u list some of the mobo with extra PCI slot? I planning using PCI WIFI-N 300MBPS (DWA-547)

i think all ATX mobo come with extra PCI slot, if mITX only got one pci-e 16x for GPU, correct me if im wrong

There's a good reason why not many recommend APUs here. You've put too much emphasis on the more expensive performance RAM just to get more frames per second from the internal graphics. For the money spent, could have simply opted for cheaper value DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1600 memory and a low-end to mid-range graphic card which would ultimately outperform that configuration. For lower budget gaming around RM1500 range, should look something like this...

Intel Core i3 2100 = RM322
GigaByte GA-H61M-S2P B3 = RM149
4GB Kingston Value RAM DDR3-1600 = RM58
Sapphire HD7750 1GB GDDR5 = RM318 <---- discrete graphics card
Lite-On SATA DVDRW = RM59
Western Digital Blue 500GB SATA HDD = RM169
FSP Hexa 500W ATX PSU = RM149
E-Mag/X-Five ATX casing = RM70
BenQ G2025HD 20" LCD monitor = RM279

Total: RM1583

Hi guys, where I can buy a new gigabyte powerock 390w? My budget is below 100. Seems cannot find it in lowyat pricelist, found 420w but base on research 390w is better?

is it worth to "upgrade" from cm 460w gx (not 80+) to powerock 390w? Please shed some light. Thanks.

btw this is my rig, most of the time use to surfing + download only. do light gaming occasionally

intel dual core e5500 2.8Gz
MSI G31TM-p31

Can't go back... already bought the CPU ><.Besides the only game im gona play is dota2 dota 3 dota 4 dota 5..... =D.

Anyone knows the difference between

MSI FM2 A-55 vs Asrock FM2 A-55 ?
The A-75 version of both MSI and Asrock / Gigabyte just costs 10 pounds more for at most for me to buy. The only advantage im assuming is 4 DIMM ram slots, 3.0 USB and i tink SDD 6gbps ?
Im kinda worried about the size of the A-75 whether it will fit a
micro ATX case or not. Because its a first time im building it too.

The 1600 mhz RAM 8gb costs me 30.76 pounds . The 1866 8gb costs me 33 pounds. Thats why i chose the 1866. Price gap is very small between these 2...

yup,in other country there are reasonable price and black friday price,not like malaysia...but anyway,FM2A75 is mini itx,should fit perfectly fine since its just 10 pounds difference just grab the a-75

Note:asrock is recommanded for htpc what you use the pc for?

http://www.lelong.com.my/gigabyte-powerroc...3-01-Sale-P.htm and yes 390W version are more good than 420W version as this were peak, the true power are 350W.

If its size state m-atx or similar, it will fit.

Replacement for my laptop. WIll use it for evryday stuff. Multitasking youtube/fb/word etc.

dota 2, photoshop light room. If can handle more will move up to photoshop CS etc. =)
I think should be ok... haha.


Edit:

This is a bit confusing for me. I think i should be looking at the 2nd link below right ? Some more cheaper...

Is this A75 for ATX ?

daily use no problems,good choice tho.i think u can run dota 2 high setting.
