the msi, asus and giga same features, for my preference, i will only choose asus/msi or asrock (for short term) , never take giga. reason is

asus - easy to get stock, almost every shop is selling , service center also easy to locate , sometime may take up to 1 month for warranty replacement but at least they get the job done, no question asked

msi - always solid looks, also easy to get stock, never experience with their after sales service, perhaps the quality is good?

asrock - good quality, price to performance ratio, not every shop selling but still able to get, heard others said the service is confusing coz always change distributor, but still get the job done without hassle

giga - looks bad to me, the blue color board, fussy service , ask a lot questions and always blame customers fault, try to avoid as many as possible warranty cases

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....

7870

7870 would be better since its just 800+ after the price cuts
try ask alfsaw about the guy that selling windows for just rm150

haha, if AMD processors are as good as intel's, even want to poison more after the price cuts

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

Want to ask bout d price slash for 7870, it is only for limited period or confirm price drop...

only sapphire? how bout Msi...i like MSI cuz their after sales service was superb...

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

TJ08-E seems to have a more solid build as compared to the Prodigy. But the price is slightly more i guess.

definitely worth the money
