Sry, the price is without including the monitor, only the rig. And many thanks for the reply. But pls do continue, I wanna read your insight. I just wanna play game at proper setting, and within a few years can still play at medium, thats all.
But i tends to buy at one shop and let them set everything up and i'll just pick it up when it's finished cuz I dunno how to set up a computer. So, I don't think price flexibility is within my usual means. Pls advice me in this. |

You cant go wrong with it. but the wattage seems overkill for a simple setup like above. a 500W with 80+ efficiency should be sufficient |

Thanks mate, fell asleep in front of my laptop again. Anyway, I'm planning to get an original window, 7 Premium, I wonder how much to top up.
Anyway, will get back to you once I manage to get the rig set up. |

Thanks for the suggestion.
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 |
