which one can get on lowyat plaza?
as for the mobo, if for 6 sata ?

There is no 1155 based boards that has 6 SATA ports... You will need a PCI-E SATA card, or swap your build to an AMD one...
nV's equivalent to the HD7870 XT would be the 660Ti, but it is more expensive and not worth it since the price difference between 660Ti and 670 is too small.
Oops... Forgot that. Get the ASRock H77 Pro4-M... 8 SATA ports...

-psu: silverstone strider 600w

You can't exactly overclock with that CPU...
1.5K? Then take the Sapphire HD7970 Vapor-X GHz Edition for RM1399. brows.gif

owh really?

i thought i want to overclock the gpu only without overclock the cpu

one product that really caught my attention is msi gtx670 pe

which one is better? hmm.gif
*
Both are nice GPUs... but I'm leaning towards the Sapphire one since it's a little bit faster than the MSI one, plus you have two free AAA games as bundle (Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite). brows.gif

need some advice, I have a computer running BE X720 with HD4850. Want to upgrade my graphic card but was wondering would it be better to upgrade both my cpu and graphic card or would it be enough with the current cpu with better graphic card?

Wanted to play new games in high details.

I would suggest you to upgrade both of them, since games are getting more CPU-intensive.
You can upgrade your GPU first, then followed by CPU.

hi
i am going to build my rig , just need to see whether this build is ok
(going to buy)
MSI Z77 G65 Gaming series
Intel Core I5 3570K
Gskill TridentX 2x8GB DDR3 2400mhz
Plextor M5S 256GB SSD
Obsidian Series® 550D
Corsair H110

(used item)
2x2tb western digital green , 2x500gb western digital green
cooler master 1200watt
asus dvd
leadtek gtx 670
bose 2.1 speaker
asus xonar d2x

still cannot make my mind about the motherboard and ssd
any suggestion???

Rule of thumb: Always stick with air cooling or go custom watercooling. AIOs are just not worth the extra money. Get the NH-D14 instead. If you really want to go watercooling consider the Swiftech H220. This is a semi-custom watercooling loop which you can use it as an AIO, and can be used as a custom loop if you want to.

It's pointless to get such 'gaming' boards. They are nothing more or less a gimmick FYI. Those RM400-500 boards can do the trick pretty fine.

thanks any suggestion for motherboard ? my budget for board is rm800 . i was thinking asus z77 v pro before, or asrock fatality proffesional. just cannot make my mind on that.

how about ssd? any suggestion? budget below rm650
do you think the i7 3770k is worth the money? i am thinking is overkilling for my use
*
Giga GA-Z77X-D3H/ASUS P8Z77-V LK.
I can't really recommend the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 due to the design of the MOSFET, which impacts overclocking.
SSD? Try getting those 256GB ones. I think they should fit your budget nicely.
3770K isn't worth it since games won't be using HyperThreading for now.

Hi ,

Budget RM250 which graphic card can get ?

You won't go far if you are going for core gaming...
HD7750 GDDR5 if you can find it, or a 6670 GDDR5.

Why would you want a Prodigy? The Prodigy is a massive ITX case to start with, and ITX builds generally limit you on a lot of upgrades. Take a look at the SG09/TJ08-E, they are microATX cases, and they are same in size as the Prodigy, or possibly smaller. smile.gif
BTW, mATX boards are quite a bit cheaper than mITX boards.
650W is uber overkill for a single GPU setup. A quality 550W should be suffice. The Seasonic G 550 should do it just fine. brows.gif

Hi guys, I need recommendation for gaming sound card (PCI) with budget around rm200-300. Should I go for ASUS or Creative?

First of all, do you have a pair of high-quality speakers/headphones? It's pointless to have one if yours is a crappy one. tongue.gif
