Any 1 can gv me some suggestion?

I'm buying things from digital mall, not lowyat 

i5 2500k vs i5 3570k.
whats the main different aside 0.1ghz increment from the latter?
and both is using lga 1155.
as the price is the same according to viewnet price list.

I have tried to figured out myself

Processor - Core i5 3550 - RM645
Mainboard - Gigabyte 277M-D3H - RM295
Monitor- Samsung 23'' - RM550
Ram - CORSAIR 4GB Gaming x 2 - RM150
Gcard - Nvidia GTX 660M 2GB - RM1300??
HDD - 3.5'' WD 1TB - RM263
DVD-writer- Samsung 24x - RM60
Power Supply - Cool master GX 550W - RM259
PSU Adapter - SilverStone 600W 80+ - RM269

How about this spec? I am not sure the Nvidia GTX 660M 2GB's price..can anyone confirm for me??

oc capability wise is 2.5k > 3.57k iinm. correct?

Havent add in monitor price? Like over budget dy?

  add rm229 for home basic, rm269 for home premium. if include os may need to downgrade gpu to the sapphire 7870

so like this la,

intel core i3 2100 rm339
msi h77ma-g43 rm319
kingston value 4gb x2 rm124
msi 7870 rm839(lingloong)

liteon dvd-rw rm59
fsp hexa 500w rm149
xigmatek asgard pro rm179
windows 7 home premium rm 269

okie then will let my friend know....thx for the suggestions...

btw between nvidia 660ti and ati 7870, which one better in term of performance and value...i know the 660 ti is more expensive....

the prices slash made me wanna poison my friends to build a budget gaming pc they are not those pc guys

if they wanna get back their customers, the prices cut has to be very attractive 

only sapphire as i see. i may see see if budget enough, build an i3 with one of those cheap card so i can gaming in office

Hi sifus, plan to change my mobo, is Asrock z77 extreme 4 a good choice in term of features and value at rm4xx, gonna change my processor also to i5 k version soon..

Well for myself....

tq for your great recommendation.    will consider it. btw for the gpu im thinking to buy at one shop. thats why didnt ask u. hehe. bt if i change my mind. will let u know. if i buy the gpu from u. do i give the deposit on the spot and u take the gpu or do i need to bank in first and then we cod?

IINM,for MATLAB,you need a better GPU which implements as much of OpenGL on it's hardware as possible..read from some sos..
So,if u can afford more pricier card,the better..
