Many on this forum get the hexa PSU from viewnet so it should be available.

I can confirm in Viewnet, as at 14 Dec 2012 got lotsa stock for the FSP Hexa 500W, still priced at Rm149

That's cool, thanks guys.

One thing, any comments on the graphics card? Is it okay to go with the 6850?

Pick HD 6870 @ Lingloong for only RM399

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=831632&hl=

But must be bundled with PSU purchase min Enermax NAXN82+ 550W.

No need bundle with PSU. I can buy the card alone @RM399. Saw it on lingloong's facebook comment.

Btw, 6870 is a very old powerful card, will it last another 2 years ? Afaird later no driver update given.

Saw it's selling for RM399 at c-zone as well. Most likely will go for it as it's still quite a powerful card and can run most games well. Thanks guys.

I vote for this card to, even powerful than the newest GTX650Ti which cost RM449.

Hey guys I'm interested in upgrading my old rig so that i can play recently released games at possibly the highest settings with a stable FPS.

Budget: <RM2500

Purpose: Gaming

Hardware that will be reuse from old rig: ~500W PSU, Monitor, 8GB DDR3RAM, Harddrive, Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers.

Location: Subang Jaya

Essentially, I need a recommendation on a Processor + GPU pairing, accompanied with a decent motherboard. All for less than RM2500 if possible.

Thanks in advance

hi.. i want ask about leadtek 670 (RM1099) or MSI R7950 (RM1150) which more value of money??

GTX 670

kk.. normally the memory and bit wont affect the performance??

Memory affect on tri-monitor setup or more. Read the review on both card and see for yourself. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforc...ew,3200-10.html

Hi Chocobo thanks for the reply! Anyways i forgot to mention in my post that i don't require a CDROM, casing, and a PSU (in fact, i'm using the PSU that you have listed there). Which frees up around RM600 in the budget. My enquiries are;

1) Is it worth paying a little extra to get an i7? As far as i know games these days are not able to fully utilize an i7, am i right?

2) Is there a significant difference between an ATI7950 and a Nvidia670?

Appreciate your help

1) better save if for the GPU, a quad core like i5 is more than enough to not bottleneck the latest GPU generation. also, if you dont do CPU intensive tasks like data crunching, rendering etc, the i7 will be very underutilized

2) Benchmark shown here

Another question,

http://my.msi.com/product/mb/#/?sk=Socket%...tel%20i3/i5/i7)

There is a feature on MSI motherboard, OC Genie II: Auto OC to boost performance in 1 sec. Is this feature for real or just a gimmick ?

Took me a week just to choice a Mobo for my i3-3220, now I have look at virtu MVP feature too. Some reviews say it does not increase the minimum FPS.

It does work, and most board manufacturers have their own overclocking feature for their boards. How far OC Genie can bring your components though depends on your board and your components' limitation. Don't expect too much from an Auto overclocking feature .

I guess I go for manual overclock. Now suddenly people mention about this Virtu MVP thingy, which is like using both iGPU and GPU to boost performances. Why nowadays motherboard also pattern banyak banyak.

It's Intel's idea to have such a feature for the Z77 chipset.
