LAST REQUEST: Please code me the price for item above, which shop can i get at best price? Only i7 3770 is compatible with LGA 1155 mobo. i7-3820 is LGA 2011 which cheapest mobo around RM7xx. LGA 2011 also don't come with cooler mean you gonna need to buy cooler. PSU recommendation already have on your other thread. Try PC-Zone for case. There are window version for this case

I'm using Asus GTX 680 as GPU. What should i do now? Previously i was using my laptop to connect my monitor at all time, is it some kind of setting needed to reset by me? You plug the cable to the GC output right? Normally the mobo turn off IGPU when GC installed. What the monitor reso?

Is 500GB Hard disk sufficient? And the mainboard, y not P8Z77M? Thnx for the previous reply. Just trying to understand your choices. Thank you =) I prefer powerful GPU such as HD7850. 500GB is more than sufficient for average user. Of course you can take 1TB HDD at RM219. Z77 are specially for those who does OC, dual-tri card setup (if both card run at 8x/8x is good z77 mobo). H77 for consumer while B75 are for business & consumer a bit.

For the mainboard, how does MSI H77MA-G43 differ from GIGABYTE H77M-D3H? Is the difference significant? As for the RAM, which brand will be more suitable? Pardon me for asking because my knowledge on this is not much. =x Thanks in advanced Google the model and compare it. Look at I/O port and expansion slot. Any value RAM from kingston, corsair, g skill,crucial can be used.

I learned a lot! But I just being informed that some components have been actually bought by my cousin for me. Thus the new rig details will be below BOUGHT!!!

[Casing] Spot on Silverstone TJ-08-E but hope for cheaper and better alternatives or same price range SFF casing [Power Supply] No idea on which shall I choose as I don't know how to calculate how much power I could use. Budget remaining: RM1100 Added on December 12, 2012, 12:53 pmI don't need any optical drive or others. I just want to build one the exact spec as I mentioned....headache in choosing a suitable casing How about Cooler Master HAF XB / USB3.0 or Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced / USB3.0?
