yeap, old but still gold
will change the HDD in the future, but now want to focus on stuff on the board

Change your CPU to i5 3570k rm689

but E3 1240v2 = 3770 xD

It's a good CPU but u don't need the noctua cooler

Stick back to the question, main purpose of the rig.
If pure gaming, an i5 is sufficient although no harm getting i7 or xeon. But the hyperthreading feature not helping much to improve gaming performance.

gaming and 3d rendering, need more cores for that hence the xeon.
not going to OC so no point for 3770k, and compare xeon E3 to 3770 xeon it's cheaper

You can forget Xeon or i7 if there's no HT related apps/usage involved.

Intel Core i5 3570k 3.3GHz RM679
MSI Z77MA-G45/Z77A-GD55 mainboard RM309/455
Avexir Core 1600MHz 2x4GB RM239
Sapphire HD7950 OC Vapor X 3GB RM1079
Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Xtreme RM289

Take E3-1230v2 then..pair it with Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP.

any diff between 1230v2 and 1240v2?

Then u got a good point there.
Regarding mobo, if not going to do multi gpu setup and overclocking, it is a bit wasted since it offers such feature. Unless u only aim for the sake of looking good lol.
Instead of picking asus 7870 that price at RM900+, Sapphire 7870 XT offers around RM800 only and outperform asus 7870.

Looking for a Touch enabled Netbook or laptop for basic office function. Will be running database at enduser level, not graphic/sound intensive.

[Budget]: Lowest possible

[Purpose]: Ran basic data software with minimal data crunch, need USB for keyboard & mouse connection too.

[Monitor resolution] : irrelevant, but min. 15' screen will be helpful

[Personal Preference Brand]: None. Must run windows 7 or 8. Must be touch screen enabled. But I don't need 10 touch, a few touch enabled will do.

[Location]: Klang Valley.

Overall spec are the same, except clock speed of 0.1GHz different.

if 670 vs 7870? yeah sapphire price looks good.
damn i miss those years back where mid to high range of GC doesn't cost 1k

Try ask at Mobile Computing section.

670 is definitely better than 7870 in performance.




Asus 7870 is just 5% more than reference 7870 card, so u can compare them by yourself.

leadtek 670 RM1090
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 OC RM1019

hmmmm
k la i'll go for 670 seems like 670>7950
