hello...this is my build..hope all sifu can suggest better spec

casing : cm elite 311  -->make sure the shop quoted u the model with "Plus" one, with USB3.0
mobo : asus p8z77-m  --> if I3 2100, i think better stick with B75 Chipset motherboard,save cost
cpu : i3 2100  --> u check with shop, now i3-2100 eol and change to i3-2120.
gpu : sapphire 6850 --> it is good if u still can found this at shop, if not then can consider 7770
psu : enermax naxn 500w --> ok one, another option is FSP HEXA 500W same price.
ram : Gskill 4gb 1333mhz  --> GSKILL TOP of the TOP, BEST of the BEST (Their Tshirt slogan !)  thumbup.gif
hdd : 500gb  --> go for WD 1T if budget allow.
dvd : 22x dvdrw --> no comment.

my budget is 2k
*
u can consider to change to :
Intel Core i5 3470
MSI B75MA-P45
Sapphire HD7770 Ghz Edition 1GB DDR5

it will still under RM2k

Maybe it was really bad luck in your case. I managed to get one to one exchange for my maximus v gene when I accidentally damaged the CPU socket pin tongue.gif

no charges for pin damaged?

QUOTE(natedrake @ Sep 9 2012, 08:46 AM)

Intel Xeon E1230V2 (3 years)
Asus P8Z77-M (3 years)
8GB DDR3 Value Ram (life time)
120GB Intel 520 SSD (5 years)
1TB WD AVGP (3 years)
Dell U2312HM/S2340L (5 years)
Corsair TX650M (5 yrs)
2GB Palit GTX670 (2 yrs)
24X LG DVD RW
Whatever casing of your choice.

RM 4.1k+/- depending on your casing. Intel Xeon 1230V2 is almost a no brainer CPU choice considering that is is like a 3770 but priced at 3570k's price. Slightly overkill for gaming but at this kind of price, the extra value that you are getting from your money is well worth it. Only reason to actually use the M board is for the extra slots of sata connectors. You can save some money using ASRock Pro 3 board which doesn't have DVI connector (not that it matters since the CPU has no IGP). GTX670 will deliver over 60FPS on a 1080p screen.

correction:
U2312HM - 5 years warranty
S2340L - 3 years warranty

isit bro?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2516698&hl=

He stated 5 years warranty wo.

as i don't sell non-ultra sharps, so i have no idea on the S series, so i based on his forum thread, is 5 years, except distributor said otherwise

nevertheless, just helping. )

OT:  Those who wanted to get this model frm us, we temp only have u2312hm~ looks pro enough, despite is a little fatter >.<
*
I saw at distributor pricelist is 3 years. so now he said he add another 2 years personal warranty.... then make sense lor.

U2312HM nicer btw.

OIC. thanks for your thorough explaination!! notworthy.gif

no wonder when I bought that time the seller din't give me any box, just sealed with wrapping plastic only, probably someone bought the casing and don't want the casing.... (that time I am still very noob in hardware, everything make sense now)

I think I will cont using this psu, since my pc only require 200++ watt, hehe.

Thanks again. notworthy.gif  biggrin.gif
