Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,375 posts Joined: Apr 2012 From: Sarawak	QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Mar 30 2013, 06:59 PM) I think PSU must change too. It's a TrendSonic PSU. And I doubt it will support the GPU. So, need to readjust which part to squeeze in PSU? So, have cheaper mobo alternative? Thanks boss. If like that maybe cut budget on mobo, change to GIGABYTE H61M-S1 RM154. Some adjustment: Intel i3 3220 RM344 GIGABYTE H61M-S1 RM154 Kingston 4gb ram RM89 -HDD resuse- Sapphire 7750 RM315 Gigabyte Powerock 420W RM109 -DVDRW reuse- -Casing reuse- Total RM1011 Btw, if his old spec still working good. Then maybe upgrade graphic card and power supply lst. This post has been edited by hmwgbworld*: Mar 30 2013, 07:10 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,375 posts Joined: Apr 2012 From: Sarawak	QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Mar 30 2013, 10:43 PM) I think that's better because he will never oc or use extra PCIE. Actually his rig are fine, except his GPU (i guess). His rig often self restart and I guess the GPU are overheating because last time I tested Spec Ops the Line, the GPU hit 99c when on air. Last time when his AC are still good, his rig seldom self restart. But since his AC having problem and haven't repair yet, self restart occur mostly on gaming. Don't have time to change his GPU and CPU TiM. BTW, I think can buy HD 7750 and PSU first right? I don't think his old CPU will hardly bottle neck his GPU. chamging the thermal paste will take some time for cleaning the old ones. If bottleneck is there I think wont be much. QUOTE(yonghong @ Mar 31 2013, 12:19 AM) bro, if i change above gpu to gtx 670? wat should i change too? or just nonid change?will bottleneck? no plan to oc. If using gtx670, I suggest u get a better psu like Enermax NAXN82+ 550W RM215 or Seasonic S 620W RN299.

ATX size 2. 4 dimms 3. min 4 sata ports (the more the better) 4. min 1 PCI slot (not important) 4. stable, reliable and maybe longer than 1 year warranty (optional)... 5. can warranty in KL area after 1 year period i have retired from OC days...an i5 should outperform my e6300 @ 3ghz easily So you need which type mobo? 775 socket or 1155 socket?

Intel CORE I5 3470 RM559 ASROCK Z77 PRO 3 RM349 Kingston DDR3 1333 8GB RM164 <-- 1 x 8GB(single channel) RAM is better or 2 x 4GB(dual channel) RAM is better? WD Blue 500GB RM164 Microsoft Windows 7 Pro RM409 Cooler Master Elite 361 RM109 Xigmatek NRP-VC503 RM149 LiteOn DVD Writer RM64 Total : RM1967 Besides that, looking for UPS also..new to this..can anyone recommend which brand and model I should look for? normally how long I can use if power supply down? budget maybe around RM200.. For normal office use, an i5 and good mobo is pretty overkill. But its up to u to decide. Try Budget saving build maybe: Intel i3 3220 RM344 MSI B75MA-P45 RM229 Kingston 4gb ram RM89 [dual channel is better but u wont see much difference at all, again 4gb is more than enough for office works] WD Blue 500gb RM164 Microsoft Window 7 Pro RM409 Cooler Master Elite 361 RM109 FSP Hexa 500W RM160 Any DVDRW RM59 Total RM1563 The power supply u pick not so reliable, so I change it to a better one with similar price point.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,375 posts Joined: Apr 2012 From: Sarawak	QUOTE(Lineage @ Apr 1 2013, 08:18 PM) Thanks for your reply..the motherboard you suggest is reliable? you know office PC..reliable is the main concern.. If I prefer slightly higher spec for this setup, which hardware you will recommend to upgrade? I choose 8GB as Windows 7 itself already using almost 2GB when idle..you know those office people..always open as many excel,word, and etc as possible..so having 8GB for hassle free..and still within budget right? Yup the motherboard is reliable. At idle the background service/programs should only take around 1-1.5gb. Maybe u didnt close all those useless startup programs and services thus making the ram being occupied without realize it. Indeed they just use the PC without care because it is not their property . I mean no offense to them, just maybe some of them only. Hardware for upgrade, maybe processor or SSD.

For more info about those mobo, kindly google the spec and compare them 4gb is sufficient for most games, except Crysis 3 maybe. You add another stick later on.

Planning on changing the GPU because nowadays the games requires such high requirements T.T May I know which graphic card can my i3 2100 fully maximise ? Thanks in advance A graphic card upgrade maybe Sapphire 7870 XT RM769 [from C-zone]. i3 may still bottleneck this card in some more cpu-intensive games like Crysis 3 / Far Cry 3. Do consider upgrade to a better PSU if your current one is not 550W true power. Example: Seasonic S 620W RM299 or Enermax NAXN82+ 550W RM215 To minimize the cpu bottleneck issue, just upgrade the cpu itself. Do check if your mobo support Ivy bridge i5 processor or not, to double confirm although the socket is using same 1155. QUOTE(arimii @ Apr 3 2013, 02:12 PM) Hi !

You may not need a RM299 PSU, but a little overkill on the PSU will allow any further upgrade/component add in. PSU that is cheaper and reliable, Try Enermax NAXN82+ 550W RM215. But somehow hard to be found in Lowyat stores, you can try get from lingloong/IdealTech in case Lowyat no stores are selling it. A cheapest 21.5" 1080p monitor maybe Samsung S22B150N led RM384. Topup a little more can get IPS monitor LG IPS224T RM419. Both price taken from Viewnet. This post has been edited by hmwgbworld: Apr 3 2013, 07:42 PM

Other brands of card = Sapphire, Gigabyte, MSI, Palit, etc. The leadtek is reference card, comes with blower type of cooling. As long as no overclocking the temp wont be an issue.
