hey sifu, thinking of getting a budget gaming rig. Budget is around 2.2k. looking at I5 3470 and also prev gen nvidia gtx 560 graphic card.
is the graphic card adviseable for the price/performance. I understand the card is around RM600++, is there better options for graphic card at this price range?

You can get a HD7850 2GB.... or if you want to sacrifice the CPU... you can possibly get a HD7870...

wow! thanks bro for the suggestion. but for the 7850, what is the comparable card on Nvidia's 6 series? or ATI gives more bang for the buck.

None TBH.... Unless you are talking about 560Ti-448 core w/2GB VRAM that's another story...
650Ti competes with the HD7850 1GB....

Mod? Modding a board? hmm.gif.

A Hyper 212 Evo has a backplate that you need to put behind the motherboard to support the heat-sink. There's no modding required as far as I'm concerned. It's just a matter of putting the screws on the board, securing it with the backplate and finally putting the heat-sink on.

Most, if not all of the LGA1155 boards don't have a backplate since the stock Intel cooler is very light, so there's no need for extra support to prevent bending. And yes, you just need to screw it on the board.

Why Dell s2320L? you can choose LG IPS224T with IPS tech at RM419. It still Full HD.
