very nervous, going to lowyat tomorrow to buy my rig !

any last advice to me ?

is it weird if i pay rm 1k in cash ... how much discount i can expect if i get a whole bundle from them ? (CPU+mobo+RAM+case)

not weird at all, lotsa ppl pay cash to get good discounts, it's up to the individual's ability as to how much of a discount though, if you're bold enough then you might get more smile.gif good luck!

Most IT retail stores should sell it. It ranges from RM15 to over RM30 depending on what you buy. There are two types, where one is PCI based and another is USB based.

That was your own internet from broadband. If you have at home/work a ADSL/Fiber Optic modem+wifi+router, an USB wifi dongle or pci wifi card can receive connection from modem above. But not your broadband usb dongle that have sim slot-in IINM.

movie playback are taxing the CPU horsepower not GPU. Pentium G850 can play your movies well.

*ps* with proper codec, even older Intel Atom can play 720p movies.

i just use it on my humble monitor, nothing fancy and definitely not a big screen.. or is it matter? it is the movie file size that determine "hd"? my movie files are around 1 or 2 gb, maybe i can use software to trimmed its "HD ness" so that the movie wont lag while play on this rig?

thanks!

PSU: CORSAIR TX SERIES 650W = RM 379
CASING: COOLER MASTER K380 = RM 129
DVD ROM: LITEON DVD WRITER = RM 60

TOTAL ESTIMATED COST = RM 3083 (if didn't count wrong haha)

Any modifications I should do? Thanks

You don't need those RAM modules, so stick to the usual Value RAMs. That will save you about RM80 or so. With the remaining RM300 you should be able to add in a solid state drive like the Intel 330 Series 120GB SSD, which is a SSD with an excellent value and a performance good enough to satisfy most.

They are usually bought by those who want to overclock, or by those who think that they present a large performance advantage over Value RAMs out of the box. Some may know that they pretty much give little noticeable performance improvement over Value RAMs and also do not want to overclock, but want the improvement in aesthetics that those RAMs can give due to the usage of fancy heat-spreaders. smile.gif

From what I've known.... Only if you are building an AMD APU rig (Trinity/Llano based) then a high performance RAMs are required... The iGPU can benefit from faster RAMs...

Its that boot-able, try repair your window by booting through USB. With luck, you don't need to install new OS.

Heya again guys !

A8-5600k. Maximum resolution for gaming on LCD monitor would be ? Im thinking the iGPU inside d APU would be the limiting factor on the monitor ? Sourcing 2nd hand used LCD monitors on Ebay atm. Looking at 17 - 19 inch monitors..... Any advice on this ? Or should I go for a 21 inch ? haha.

Looking at benchmarking results I'd say that the maximum resolution for a relatively smooth gaming experience will be 1400x900 and below. If you have high speed RAM modules as well, i.e over 1600MHz, then it would be even better.

If you are going for the Prodigy .... consider the SG09 instead... smaller than the Prodigy in terms of volume.... and fits a MATX board... along with tower based coolers as well...

Value RAM is good enough actually.. currently selling for RM57 a piece for DDR3 1333Mhz.. save your $$$ for something else cause RAM speed will not yield significant performance for normal usage

But the RAM looks so a$$ kicking. sad.gif Better stop viewing newegg deal. Poison a lot.

UPDATE: Received the invoice from newegg, RM102.50. It's cheaper than value RAM. Should I buy it ?

Yeah, he means your Sapphire "normal" HD7950(since there are no "OC" suffix in its name). Or did normal version come with dual x cooler?

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?

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.

You can pick i5 but you will need to downgrade few item. B75 and H77 link. IPS give user more vivid colour & wide viewing angle.

For Borderlands 2, you can refer to this review: Borderlands 2 GPU & CPU Performance Test: CPU Performance. If you want maximum quality and smooth gameplay plus best visuals, both the CPU (preferably Core i5) and GPU (preferably most powerful graphics card you can afford) must be adequate. hmm.gif

My little brother rig:

Possessor : AMD athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+ (2 CPUs), ~ 2.8GHz with Hyper 212 Plus cooler.

Memory : 4GB Ram DDR2 (Brought DDR3 1600 4GBx2 G.SKILL RAM)

MotherBoard : GA-MA770-DS3

Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT

Power Supply : Huntkey AFPC 700W. (Reuse if possible, but review says this brand is problematic)

Casing: (Reuse)


- 1920xs1080p Monitor
- play all modern at High/Medium setting games.
- No OC
- Only gaming purpose.


With maximum budget RM800, how should I upgrade this old rig ?

What I planed is change a new MOBO and CPU 1st. But I am afraid of bottleneck by GT9600.

hmm.gif Looks like you would need an overhaul... considering the board only supports a Phenom I.., and doesn't support a Phenom II....
Sell the CPU and GPU and go for this...
Pentium G620-RM174
MSI H61M-P31-RM149
Sapphire HD7850 1GB-RM599
Total: RM922...
Overbudget already.... unless you sell the CPU and the GPU...
I'd recommend you to get the 2GB version of the card considering some games may require more than 1GB VRAM in 1080p...

Kesian my brother, play assassin creed at 20fps all low setting.   doh.gif

Yes but with your graphic card modern high setting not really possible.

Save up more budget cause changing your CPU and mobo + the RAM wont make significant FPS gain without a good graphic card to pair it with.

Actually RM800 is only for MOBO and GPU, I'll change the GPU a month after

Now targeting i5-3470 and any MOBO below RM200.

But I doubt the is not noticeable improvement in gaming.

if your on a tight budget go for the FSP but i'd recommend splurging on the NAXN 650w if you can afford, it'd make room for future upgrades. Also has better power efficiency iirc. So spend a lil more for the naxn would be alright the naxn 550w also another choice.

its alright your suppose to ask questions here tongue.gif

Most of this you can get straight from zhen^wei from idealtech, though he doesnt have kingston value ram so you could change to the g.skill value ram which is jsut as good. DVD-RW can get from IT hypermarket or from almost any other computer store if he doesnt have it.

perfection rig right now. SSD upgrade in future.

You can build your rig from lingloong or Zhen Wei. PM them, they will help you quote the price and build it for free. Not to mention cable management. icon_rolleyes.gif

Sifus~

I'm currently building my gaming rig as follows:

i5 3470 (bought)
ASUS P8Z77-V LX (bought)
Kingston value ram DDR3 8GB (up for suggestion)
Best Graphic card within 700-850 range (please suggest:D)
HDD 1TB (I suppose whcihever brand doesnt rly matter. SSD perhaps an option in the future)
DVD-RW (doesnt rly matter
Casing (I suppose this doesnt matter also, i'll just choose whichever interest me)
PSU (thinking of AEROCOOL STRIKE-X Series PSU 600W 80 Plus Bronze = RM219 cos it looks nice. Or shld i go for something else?)
23" LED Monitor (60hz) (reuse from old rig)
MS Sidewinder KB & Mouse (reuse from old rig also)

Please recommend any changes i shld make from above biggrin.gif
Thanks!

For GPU.... Consider getting a Sapphire HD7870 2GB for RM839... Best card you can get ATM for your budget.
Value RAMs are good enough.
Any DVD writers will be suffice, but please avoid Samsung for DVD drives as they tend to fail a lot.
Personally I wouldn't want that PSU to power up your rig TBH... An Enermax NAXN 550W will do the trick, plus it's around the same price as the Aerocool one.

get the KVR its good enough wont notice much difference with performance RAM, graphic card go for the Sapphire 7870 just top up like RM20-30?

WD Blue 1GB HDD RM219 for a hard drive. Lite-On 22x DVDRW RM59 as your DVD-RW? Casing xigmatek asgard pro is a good budget casing biggrin.gif

Aerocool I don't know much about them so i'll choose this ENERMAX NAXN82+ 650W 80Plus Bronze RM269 instead.

so you already have a mobo and casing?

Extreme 4 is ATX the Extreme 4-M is the m-ATX i think so its full sized.

Go for Xigmatek Asgard Pro can save another RM100 and jsut now prodigy case is mini-itx xD i give wrong size casing doh.gif

if change the casing and minus both HDD and DVD than can get the 670 TOP within budget

trying to build a HTPC for family with 42 inch tv as the monitor. come out with the following spec, hopefully can have some opinion from sifu

A4 3300-amd
F1A55-MLX-asus
4gb Ram-kingston
1TB hd-seagate
1 DVD writer-Liteon
PSU-??
asus GT630 4GB <<<<<<is this ok? any other GC that are in the same price range and perform better?
casing- any cap ayam casing will do.

well if you want a GC,

can choose to change to an Intel Xeon processor, which is cheaper and nearly the same processing power. as for the model.. im not sure hmm.gif

then use the remaining one to top up for the GC

EDIT: GTX560 Ti is a good card, but better to spend extra for at least a GTX 600 series like the GTX 660 for better performance and less power usage

everything seems alright even if you changed to a GTX 670 hmm.gif

but to lessen the bottleneck, opt for at least an i5 processor? which will cost about RM600, then maybe need new mobo also.. which about RM250.. hmm.gif

Nothing, except if you can find upper level LGA 1156 processor. Effect of bottleneck i think quite significant on your current processor.

and is one unit enough?

why not an SSD? speeds up loading for your work related stuff smile.gif

as for casing fan, a simple one push and one pull fan will suffice wink.gif

Hi ! thanks for your speedy reply as Im really in a rush for this. LOL.

BTW, i look through SSD price and its too expensive I guess.

For the i7 it's a non K version, K version costs RM1039 here. I'm in Penang but what is it supposed to cost? I think I'm not OC-ing this.

For motherboard, if I change to MSI MS7798 B75MA-P45 (RM229)will be alright? or you recommend ASUS or Gigabyte?

For graphic card, hmm, I think HD7850 is my budget limit already. hahaha. Not wanting to spend much on cards anyway...

For PSU, if 600 W is too much, 500 W will be alright?

Added on December 1, 2012, 1:18 amYou mentioned RM888 for i7 in previous thread. Wow. Its really some gap there.

And~~I just noticed this, is SSD not hardisk but an extra add-on besides the HDD?

many room for more improvement, casing can opt for Corsair Carbide series at RM200-300 smile.gif
GPU can change to GTX 660 Ti but around RM1k++
also, if youre into OC, (which i assume you are) buy a 3rd party cooler like CM Hyper 212 Evo at RM119
Omg, i never expect i could get a reply in such short time! APPRECIATED THAT!
BTW, i'm not a people who ever try to OC before because last time when my lecturer taught about that, i was quite sleepy and didn't pay attention on it. Yet, actually i already own a monitor with that large screen, so that amount of money can actually save up for a better GPU! rolleyes.gif

I come to this bang for buck CPU A10-5800k.

I read some comment on youtube, they said crossfire integrated GPU with a redeon card can get 5-10% performance boost. Do we have such thing ? Not sure youtube is trolling, or for real.

Really pointless to get Discrete GPU ?

Hi ! thanks for your speedy reply as Im really in a rush for this. LOL.

BTW, i look through SSD price and its too expensive I guess.

For the i7 it's a non K version, K version costs RM1039 here. I'm in Penang but what is it supposed to cost? I think I'm not OC-ing this.

For motherboard, if I change to MSI MS7798 B75MA-P45 (RM229)will be alright? or you recommend ASUS or Gigabyte?

For graphic card, hmm, I think HD7850 is my budget limit already. hahaha. Not wanting to spend much on cards anyway...

For PSU, if 600 W is too much, 500 W will be alright?

Added on December 1, 2012, 1:18 amYou mentioned RM888 for i7 in previous thread. Wow. Its really some gap there.

And~~I just noticed this, is SSD not hardisk but an extra add-on besides the HDD?
*
SSD speeds up loading alot wink.gif

not OC then a simple i7 3770 should do, or you can always opt for a Intel Xeon server processors, works as well too

sure, the motherboard is fine with your processor, as any more and theyll put in alot of extra features that may not be used by you

if its the budget constrain then a HD7850 should do fine for med-high gaming quality

as most com parts are becoming more and more power efficient, its kinda unnecessary to get 600W PSUs. the best i would suggest is either Enermax NAXN 550W from zhen^wei, or a Silverstone Strider 500W. both are 80+ efficient PSUs at RM219. wink.gif if you want cheaper, can opt for FSP Hexa 500W at RM149, also 80+ efficient

and yes, SSD is like another extra add-on like HDD. different than HDD but same purpose, to store files

This is another version of my customised rig. Want to cut down the price more to make it around RM3000. Hopefully you guys can help!

Purpose:
- Primary : 3d Rendering (3ds Max) n Photoshop multitasking
- Close-to-primary: Video editing (After effects, premier pro)
- Autocad, Photoshop, Illustrator etc

No gaming at all.


Processor: Intel i7 3770 (non K)---------RM 938
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77 V LK---------RM 430
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 X 2 -----------RM 120
HD: WD 1TB -------------------------------RM228
SSD: Intel 330 120GB--------------RM 331
Graphic: Sapphire HD7850 --------------RM 696 > hopefully got cheaper one. maybe Leadtek Nvidia GTX 650 2GB 128 bit DDR5?
PSU: Corsair GS600W -------------------RM 318
Casing: Cooler Master RC-335V---------RM 124
DVD: LG SATA 24X------------------------RM 60

Total : RM 3245

but if you decide to get the 7770 your dropping a performance tier 78xx and 77xx should have a noticable difference. Stick to the 7850 it will last you a lot longer.

Hi everyone!

I need some good suggestion for my friend's PC. He has a tight budget of 3k. He wanted to get 3k including a monitor. I told him that may need to fork out extra money for the monitor. Also, he wanted to purchase a PC which can last him longer than his current PC with 8600GS GPU. blush.gif

Budget:
2.5k - 3k

Purpose :
Gaming, Multimedia Entertainment

Monitor resolution:
TFT 17inch Monitor (Going to upgrade as well)

Game or software:
Guild Wars 2, Assassin Creed trilogy, BF3, all the latest Call of Duty series, latest Hitman, Far Cry/Crisis (if possible)

Personal Preference Brand
Nvidia for GPU. Any brand should be ok as long it isn't troublesome to update BIOS or driver. If Nvidia is too expensive, may suggest ATI but preferred is Nvidia. Intel CPU. The rest can be anything.

Location:
Puchong
Planning to go Lowyat this weekend.

Hardware that will be reuse from old rig
Supposed to be HDD but, it's full of movies and data so need to get a new one for games.

As I looked from the 1st post with the suggested rigs, I thought of using this suggested spec for him.

Intel i5-3570 RM639
Gigabyte H77M-D3H RM319
Palit Leadtek GTX670 RM1299 http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2386667&hl=
Kingston Value Ram 4GBX2 RM128
WD Blue 1TB HDD RM254
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Xigmatek Asgard Pro/CM Elite 311+/Strike One Advance [casing] RM170
Any DVD rom/writer RM60
Total: RM2963 + 55

Then I realized it is 3k without the monitor.

So I asked him if he interested with:
Intel i5-3470 RM579
MSI B75MA-P45 RM224
Leadtek GTX670 [reference] RM1120 http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2386667&hl=
Kingston Value Ram 4GB RM64
WD Blue 1TB HDD RM254
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Xigmatek Asgard Pro/CM Elite 311+/Strike One Advance [casing] RM170
Any DVD rom/writer RM60
Total: RM2565 + 55

I'm worried that his PSU with 500 isn't enough. Should he get better PSU? May I know kindly know if you have any better suggestion to get?

Thank you for your trouble!

Only i7 3770 is compatible with LGA 1155 mobo. i7-3820 is LGA 2011 which cheapest mobo around RM7xx. LGA 2011 also don't come with cooler mean you gonna need to buy cooler. PSU recommendation already have on your other thread. Try PC-Zone for case. There are window version for this case wink.gif

Where's your location... The availability of the parts may be different.
Only this? How about this?
AMD A8-5600K-RM399
ASRock FM2A75M-DGS-RM199 (yoongkeen@Garage Sales)
Kingston 1x4GB HyperX 1600-RM99
WD Caviar Blue 500GB-RM164
Gigabyte N400A PSU-RM100 (C-Zone)
-No GPU-
Gigabyte GZ-X Casing-RM60
LiteOn DVD Writer-RM60
Total: RM1081
A little overbudget, but this is pretty good, considering you have a true quad core CPU, plus you have a pretty good iGPU for games. wink.gif Oh, you can try to cut down the budget by getting a cap ayam Casing+PSU..., but not worth it. wink.gif

so after bios than nothing? signal gone? if cannot go install the graphic card drivers first plug into you internal graphics to do so and try again.

also can say step by step how its happening and make sure you plug in all the necessary power cables to the motherboard and the graphic card.

Thank you for your replied, the actual error message "Check Signal Cable HDMI", i try to even use on VGA cable and HDMI cable, it still remain the same thing. I'm using Asus GTX 680 as GPU. What should i do now? Previously i was using my laptop to connect my monitor at all time, is it some kind of setting needed to reset by me?

Ideally something like this http://www.performancepc.net/eclipse.html where I can just click and select the parts, enter CC details and wait for it to ship and arrive. And a point of contact if there is a problem.

I've looked around but cant seem to find a Malaysian equivalent.

If transport is not a problem, PM any dealer at this forum, lingloong or Zhen Wei. Buy from them and they can build the rig for free plus good cable management.

^+1

pass to zhen^wei or lingloong your spec sheet and they will build it for you, if they don't have the parts they will tell you can change to equivalent performance hardware, sometimes will give recommendation if your parts really nto suit together. Or beforehand can post your spec sheet here and let us get a go at it.

Hi All..

Looking for new desktop.

1. Preferred Brand - Any will do
2. Budget - RM2000-RM4000
3. Usage - watch movies, working(Excel,PP,Word) and surfing (not hardcore gamers)
4. Preferred screen size - 17" and above
5. Full HD screen
6. Reliable for long term 3-4 years usage.

Any suggestion?

Have you checked out the rigs/spec sheets listed on the first page of this thread?

Full HD as in 1080p/720p? Common choice would be 23".

Surfing only? Care to list out what games do you play perhaps? It would be too high of a budget if its just for general tasks.

Sifu Hilmax,
Y do u prefer sapphire over ASUS GT640?

I prefer powerful GPU such as HD7850. 500GB is more than sufficient for average user. Of course you can take 1TB HDD at RM219.
Z77 are specially for those who does OC, dual-tri card setup (if both card run at 8x/8x is good z77 mobo).
H77 for consumer while B75 are for business & consumer a bit.

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.

from what i know, the i5 3330 is clocked at a lower speed than the i5 3470 i recommended (3.0GHz vs 3.2GHz)

as for the GPU, the MSI version comes with Twin Frozr cooler. it helps improve cooling alot. also, the clock speed of the card may differs than the Sapphire version

for casing is pretty subjective really, besides its functionality and features, the design and look is important. pick the one that suits you best?

as for the PSU, Seasonic is a very well known brand. 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

Google the model and compare it. Look at I/O port and expansion slot.
Any value RAM from kingston, corsair, g skill,crucial can be used.

Lol...thank you
what i mean is your psu or casing temp up, the psu power efficient will drop,like maybe 500watt normal u can gain 390watt+ but when the temp went up it may reduce 30watt++ depends on the cooling level.
BUT i am just briefly tell you,it not how i explain but depends on transistor's current like 20.7A but when reach 100'c it drops to 13.1A...very messy thing to explain,u agar2 know can d. smile.gif

how about this?

MSI H61M-P31 B3 RM155
Kingston Value RAM 1x4GB RM54
WD Blue 1TB RM219
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
CM Elite series (there are mini-ATX ones) RM100+
Dell U2312HM RM589
Total: RM1600++

- my suggestion above gives you an altogether newer and better parts smile.gif
- the CPU has an Intel HD 2500 which is sufficient for HD movie playback and simple games like Minecraft (not confirmed)
- as for the HDD, you can never go wrong with more space do you? considering youre gonna download stuffs brows.gif
- as for your old PSU, if its brandless, youre better off with the one i suggested. more reliable
- the Dell U2312HM may not be the cheapest one in the market but it sure is the best worth for money monitor wink.gif

reuse CPU
MSI G41-COMBO RM159
1x4GB DDR3 Value RAM RM54
WD Blue 500GB RM169
reuse casing
reuse PSU (not recommended)
Total: RM382

but you need a discrete card too, considering your CPU does not have an IGP.

but i dont think Minecraft will be playable with your CPU at 1080p though (if youre gonna game at that reso)

Anyone will to explain regarding Motherboard type ?

What's the different between a RM300 Z77 montherboard and RM1000 Z77 motherboard ?

Auto overclocking ? BIOS feature ? Able to overclock further ? The design ? expansion slot ? Support up to 4-way SLI/Crossfire ?

Why people willing to speed over RM1k just on a MOBO itself as it does not really contribute to performance ?

I remember there is "noob question" thread for asking some simply question, I hope mod can reopen the thread so that people like me can ask professional opinions there.

Based on details above, I wish to ask, is it a nice selection with MSI mainboard and MSI GPU? Because I can choose another equivalent Gigabyte mainboard but I'm afraid of the compatibility issue....I'm new to hardware and hope someone will correct me.

FYI :

Z77 motherboard + non 'K' CPU = waste.

Why?you will not be able to fully utilize the Z77 motherboard features which are specialized for 'K' version of CPU.

Anyway,how's the budget?how much u got left to spend?

FYI :

Z77 motherboard + non 'K' CPU = waste.

Why?you will not be able to fully utilize the Z77 motherboard features which are specialized for 'K' version of CPU.

Anyway,how's the budget?how much u got left to spend?
*
I think I still able to exchange the processor for K version but what's the difference? As I know, the locked version 3770 has more technology offered compared to K version? And why Z77 is optimised for K version of i7?

About the budget, I think I left 400 and below for casing and CPU fan or cooler.
I'm targeting a small form factor but doesn't know much about the heat issue of my current proposed specifications.

Why K versions you ask? Well, the default non-K processors will be much harder to overclock. With Nehalem/Clarkdale (last generation Core i3/i5/i7) pretty much you take your base clock of 133 MHz and apply say a default multiplier of 25, that would be your 3.33 GHz processor. That base clock was capable of going so much higher, 150, 186 and when tweaked right, even over 200 MHz. So if you were able to apply a fictive 175 MHz on your base clock, you could multiply it with the limited 25 multiplier. That would get you 4375 MHz.

The new technology however has an embedded GPU / video processor merged into the very same processor die running over the same bus sharing the same L3 cache memory, things get increasingly complicated in matters of tweaking.

The new 100 MHz baseclock of Sandy/Ivy Bridge processors are harder to tweak, if you are lucky you can get 115 MHz out of it with regular cooling, multiply that with your maximum multiplier and you'll notice that the default processor can only overclock a few hundred MHz at best. And that is why Intel introduced the K series, since it offers you an unlocked multiplier which will allow you to go much, much higher.

So please do get a 20 USD more expensive K version and in the BIOS you'll have much better tweaking options. With a proper motherboard you can now set a multiplier per core.


Z77 motherboard has that features which capable to overclock the 'K' series CPU..and overclocking those 'K' series CPU means it could performs better.

Bytheway,what is ur overall budget?

Thanks for your really good advices! I learned a lot!
But I just being informed that some components have been actually bought by my cousin for me.
Thus the new rig details will be below

BOUGHT!!!
[Processor]
Core i7-3770s (As it is more ideal for SFF as thermal and power usage will be lower during normal usage)
[Main board]
Intel DH77DF (As it is mITX and ideal for SFF)
[Internal Storage]
Intel 520S (For better data processing performance due to my working)

HAVEN'T BOUGHT!!!
[Memory Module]
I'm planning on getting two Kingston KVR1600 DDR3 8GB (16GB total)
[Graphics Card]
I wish to get MSI N660GTX TF (Because it's more suitable for Hackintosh I wish to build myself besides Windows OS)
[LCD Monitor]
No idea yet so far...
[Casing]
Spot on Silverstone TJ-08-E but hope for cheaper and better alternatives or same price range SFF casing
[Power Supply]
No idea on which shall I choose as I don't know how to calculate how much power I could use.

Budget remaining: RM1100

Added on December 12, 2012, 12:53 pmI don't need any optical drive or others. I just want to build one the exact spec as I mentioned....headache in choosing a suitable casing

You can consider :

Bitfenix Prodigy as a chassis at RM269..

user posted image

Seasonic M12 II 620W PSU at RM349
Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM monitor at RM589

Total - RM1207.It is RM100 more than your remaining budget.Or else,you can pick Enermax NAXN 550W for only RM215.

Get Silverstone SG05-450 instead.... even smaller.... Prodigy is massive for a mini-ITX case.
10.8 litres only (half the volume of the Prodigy)

So Silverstone SG05-450 is the most recommended and most suitable casing for my rig?
I am still worry about the operating temperature, or I can stop worry about it?
And is 450W enough for my PC operation? Because I really know nothing about PSU

Well, that case have 1 120mm fans, try ask for topup to Silverstone Air Penetrator or equivalent fan. 450W is enough.

Thanks bro, and since I'm not gaming currently and not in near future, can I just leave GPU blank and use Intel HD Graphic 4000 for normal day usage?

And I've decided with that case and it's fantastic in design and space saving.

Anyone will to explain regarding Motherboard type ?

What's the different between a RM300 Z77 montherboard and RM1000 Z77 motherboard ?

Auto overclocking ? BIOS feature ? Able to overclock further ? The design ? expansion slot ? Support up to 4-way SLI/Crossfire ?

Why people willing to speed over RM1k just on a MOBO itself as it does not really contribute to performance ?

I remember there is "noob question" thread for asking some simply question, I hope mod can reopen the thread so that people like me can ask professional opinions there.
*
- better component = better lifespan and durability (better OC as well)
- more and better features (X-Fi chip, better LAN chip, N-way SLI/XFire, USB ports... etc)
- better layout (you'll appreciate it when you managing the cables)
- eye candy design (striking colours, cool looking heatsinks some even support watercooling)

although mobo doesn't directly contributes to the performance, but indirectly it does make some difference, especially for those OCers.

best choice would be getting the mid-range boards where the performance to price ratio is at the sweet spot. but for those who got the money to burn of course they choose to get the more expensive option.

This case does has its advantage. If there's a must choose case for mini ITX, is Bitfenix Prodigy be the choice compared to others?

Thanks for all who have helped me through the casing selection!
I might sounds too wordy but this is the first custom pc I want to build so I choose a case very carefully.
After reviewed many cases and third party reviews, I found that I choose:

BITFENIX PRODIGY!

Now can please anyone suggest who or where shall I buy from?

well, on a stock cooler, the temperatures should be normal unless you have really bad cable management. if you want extra cooling, check out CM Hyper TX3 Evo at RM79 or CM Hyper 212 Evo at RM120+

both are solid performers wink.gif

as for recommendation above, i checked from Viewnet Lowyat Plaza price list. but stock is subject to availability

Nice rigs. However bare with me as I not a tech-sawy guy and have some questions and I'd never tried building one myself.

1) Say I'm interested in 1 of the rigs so do i just slap the list to lowyat vendors for quotations and they'll build up for me? Or I've to pick up each component separate and build it up like a LEGO?

2) Is it me or i just dont notice any sound cards in the rigs? (Maybe i just cant differentiate which component is sound card?

3) Also I'm assuming chassis as well as OS is seperated from the list as well?

I'm looking forward in building a gaming + sound blasting desktop(got a altec lensing wolfer for that biggrin.gif ) and would appreciate if anyone could advise me on the questions above!

1) Yes, if they have stock of course.
2) Mobo have built-in sound card.
3) No, case and OS should be included is you need it. That why read the first page to know the format.

1) yep, just bring the list and theyll get the parts for you.

2) integrated ones in the motherboard should do fine unless youre having high-end sound equipments. usually sound cards like ASUS Xonar or Creative ones will be listed together if the person requires a sound card. and since most of us are happy with the integrated ones, most of us dont recommend sound cards with the setup

3) chassis is included, usually named like Xigmatek Asgard Pro, CM K280 etc etc. OS is always separated unless inquired

as for your build, budget? maybe we can list out a better gaming build for you? smile.gif

Thanks for the reply man! Well currently I'm on a 2.5k to 3k budget but am willing to go up to 3.5k if the performance justifies the price hike biggrin.gif

I've read up on components therefore the following would be my imagination of specs:

processor: intel i5 processors sounds good enough for me. i7's are said to be overkill because not much games supports HT for now? Tho im not sure which model of i5 processors would be good enough

ram: up to 12GB rams with 1333MH bus speed.( no preferences in brand tho)

harddisk: i guess a normal harddisk with 500/1T shud work for me. Not sure if SSD performs better?( Though i saw a notable boot up seed for Windows. Not sure for gaming)

GPU : i only know brands e.g ATI and GeForce. Not sure what make is better in terms of specs.

PSU, Mobo etc are components i have no idea of what make to be used.

Hopefully u can advise me with a better build / insight on my future to be desktop! biggrin.gif

try this

Intel Core i5 3470 RM564
MSI B75MA P45 RM229
Kingston Value RAM 1x8GB RM114
Leadtek GTX670 RM1149 <--this is a very good card brows.gif
WD Blue 500GB RM169 or 1TB RM219
Silverstone Strider 500W RM219
Corsair Carbide 300R or Xigmatek Asgard Pro RM200-300
Lite-On 22x DVD Drive RM59
Total: RM2703

need monitor? hmm.gif
if yes, can try Dell U2312HM RM589 or LG IPS224T RM419

the build above i didnt recommend any sound card cause im not knowledgeable about it sweat.gif
let other sifus come and help smile.gif

or you can switch the GTX670 for a Sapphire HD7970 at RM1449 (this card's a beast) brows.gif

EDIT: just read your new editted post.

SSD helps to speed up booting and file transfer rate. Optional, but a good add wink.gif
Intel 330 120GB RM299 or Crucial M4 128GB RM339

as for GPU, what matters most is the FPS it can deliver on Full HD gaming smile.gif

also, why do you need 12GB? cause 8GB is sufficient for most casual users. unless youre gonna do heavy multitasking jobs?

Everything seems nice! One more question tho.. Does overclocking matter much? I've seen people posting overclocking their processors to say achieve higher FPS for games?(Sorry if the technical terms are faulty cause i cant tell which is which)

And also do you happen to know any reputable vendor in lowyat? I had friend once made a rig there only to realize some components inside were'nt as he specified when his desktop broke down and sent for a fix.

I guess monitor is fine but does the monitor you suggest supports high res?(something like 1280*720)

Again thanks for the reply!

for OC, unless you know what youre doing, better dont risk it. OC kills the parts lifespan but of course boost its performance. like for example, your CPU and GPU getting old and you want more juice out of it. so you OC them to boost their clock speed so that they can run future games at slightly more FPS.

reputable ones would be Viewnet, All IT and Jayacom i guess. if for online in Garage Sales, can go for IdealTech. i got my parts there biggrin.gif

my monitor i suggest will be 1920x1080p brows.gif
maybe Dell U2312HM RM589 or LG IPS224T RM419? both are IPS panel displays which have better colour production and wide viewing angles than the standard TN panels

Right thanks for the reply! I see your rig has a sound card so if you don't mind me can u provide some feedbacks on choices of soundcards? I had a lensing subwolfer(which i think is fairly good) so therefore im looking forward to get 1 in my new rig. Does standalone sound cards differ alot then the integrated's 1? If so how much? What sound card do you suggest? Say in the range of 400?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Right! In a nut shell tech-noobies like me should stay off OC the processors right?
Will definitely looked up on your suggestions bro!

I suppose they have advisors like in the shops right? Maybe might have to scale down the budget abit if my
parents aren't that happy with the pricing sad.gif

Normally how long would it take them to assemble all the parts together? Also do i have to worry anything
about the BIOS?

nope, you can always learn to OC and about OC stuff also
but if you want your PC parts to last long, of course avoid OCing
but its subjective though, with good cooling systems, mild OC can last nearly as long as stock CPUs

err.. their advisors are unreliable. cause since theyre running a shop, they might intro parts that are not recommended as they dont want to keep old and obsolete products

as for the time for parts assembling, it depends. if they dont have alot of other jobs, should be fast.

generally, the standard BIOS should be fine. nothing to tweak or change around.

Right! Then again what about the warranties? only tied by the vendor itself only right?
I have a list of viewnet's product from here http://www.viewnet.com.my/downloads/viewne...y_pricelist.pdf
so is it safe to say any components not listed in it could be potentially obsolete products?
Now u reminded me of such scam's i'd might be worried up a little sad.gif

warranties by the brand manufacturers. but you can return the faulty products to the shop for warranty purposes

not really, there are alot of products types available in the pricelist but also not recommended. like the Cooler Master PSUs, not recommended but its being sold at Viewnet.

if you dont trust Viewnet, you can always opt for other shops in this forum. try PM lingloong, zhen^wei, CyntrixTech, yoongkeen etc for help. they have a physical shop too, just not in Lowyat Plaza

good GPU with a good CPU

for example
Intel Core i5 + GTX670 = good
Intel Core i3 + HD7970 = bad
Intel Core i7 + HD7770 = bad

i3 is a dual core with Intel Hyper Treading technology, good for casual users who does not need to do powerful CPU processes
i5 is a quad core without Hyper Threading technology, good for not-too-intensive CPU processes
i7 is a quad core with Hyper threading technology, good for CPU intensive processes

anyways, just read up at Ark Intel, theyll provide better information than mine. a simple google will provide a better one too lol

IMHO the build is solid already for your budget, unless you add more $$$, it is not possible to up another spec without sacrificing other components

Hey guys, would like to seek some advices/opinions here. My friend is asking me to suggest a rig to him for work, entertainment and some light gaming. Below are the specs that i have in mind base on Viewnet's price list.

CPU: i5 3470 - RM564 / i3 3220 - RM349
Motherboard: Gigabyte B75M-D3V - RM224
Memory: Kingston DDR3 4GB - RM60
GPU: Sapphire 6850 1GB - RM349 / Sapphire 7770 1GB - RM399
Hardi Disk: Western Digital Blue 1TB - RM214
PSU: Silverstone Strider 500W - RM219
Optical Drive: Liteon - RM60
Casing: Cooler Master range - budget RM150
Monitor: Dell ST2320L - RM469
Input Devices: MS Wireless Desktop - RM85

Total: RM2394 (i5) / RM2179 (i3)

Is this built okay? Here's some of my concerns.
(i) Is the i3 3220 sufficient for normal work usage, cause he may be using applications like autocad and photoshop, or the i5 is the way to go?
(ii) On GPU, if just for light gaming purposes, should I just stick with the old generation 6850 or the newer 7770? Based on benchmarks the 6850 is generally better than the 7770 and the price is lower as well. Is the 6850 a good choice here?
(iii) Is there any cheaper PSU recommendations based on Viewnet's price list with relative good performance?

Would like to keep the price as low as possible as well, if possible within RM2.4k. Comments/advices are appreciated. Thanks.

Can replace several part; mobo MSI B75MA-P45 RM229 (more RAM slot), PSU fsp hexa 500w RM150, Monitor LG IPS224T RM419. i5 should handle future work as well.

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. hmm.gif

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.

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 smile.gif

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 smile.gif

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

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 laugh.gif.

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. doh.gif

After much reading, I'm stuck between the choice of a Sapphire 7950 which costs ~RM1000 and the Gigabyte 670 which costs ~RM1500. Huge difference, i know. What do you guys think about it? Is it worth paying that extra RM500 for the 670? My main concern right now is achieving a stable ~30fps @ 1920x1080 on highest/almost-highest settings on games such as Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite in the near future. Thoughts? Excuse any hint of arrogance as I have minimal knowledge when it comes to hardware.

Hi guys.
I'm currently using the Acer M7720 with the HD4870 card that I want to change.

How do I know what cards do I have as a choice to replace my current card?

Any recommendations of cards with a budget of RM300-400?

I can't play high spec in games like GW2 and Planetside 2. Getting 20-30 fps on medium-high in BF3.

300-400 enough?

After much reading, I'm stuck between the choice of a Sapphire 7950 which costs ~RM1000 and the Gigabyte 670 which costs ~RM1500. Huge difference, i know. What do you guys think about it? Is it worth paying that extra RM500 for the 670? My main concern right now is achieving a stable ~30fps @ 1920x1080 on highest/almost-highest settings on games such as Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite in the near future. Thoughts? Excuse any hint of arrogance as I have minimal knowledge when it comes to hardware.

ASUS and Gigabyte's cards are pricey, you may opt for Leadtek GTX670, which is priced at RM1149 which is close to the HD7950 price range. Also theres not much difference between the two manufacturers besides their clock speed, cooler etc. overall performance are similar

Also, as shown on my previous link, the difference between these two cards are negligible. Also, the GTX670 and HD7950 is a high-end tier card. This means that itll be able to last you maybe 2 years max depending on how long it can last before the next worthy upgrade

Hi guys.
I'm currently using the Acer M7720 with the HD4870 card that I want to change.

How do I know what cards do I have as a choice to replace my current card?

Any recommendations of cards with a budget of RM300-400?

A HD7750 or HD7770 should fit your budget. But dont expect a huge change in performance though

Personally, i suggest you opt for the HD7850 at RM600+, which gives you a considerable difference in performance

What are the 3D online games that you plan to play? Find out the exact model of your GPU by downloading GPU-Z. If it's good enough you can save some money.

Not to spoil your mood but Intel have far exceed AMD in procs department. Its really your choice. http://www.techspot.com/review/615-far-cry...ance/page6.html

I try to reduce the mobo price featuring both X16 slot dual run at 8x and the selection are Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0, ASrock 990FX Extreme3 and MSI 990FXA-GD80 where the ASrock and MSI i cannot confirm if they can run at 8x in CF-X/SLI mode

That way you should have RM1000+- left and pick HD7870 or GTX 660 ti.

Hmm I'll try boosting my budget then.

But I don't have to buy a new PSU or fan right since whatever's inside my current Acer is sufficient?

It should be enough, based on what power supply Acer says the M7720 comes with ( 500W / 750W / 1000W ).

There are plenty of people who are interested in buying used chassis and power supplies. The chances of you getting them sold together is not as large as it is getting them sold separately though. smile.gif It will also be more profitable if you sell them separately.

Then consider the following instead:

Crucial M4 128GB SSD-RM339
Note that you may need a Active DP->DVI adapter.

Alternatively, you can consider this:

Crucial M4 128GB SSD-RM339
Rosewill Capstone 750W-RM429

Performance is the same for Xeon and i7, Xeon is cheaper because it does not has iGPU(which is weak and useless) and lack of ability to overclock.

Xeon = Price of i5 = i7's performance.

Thnx looks cheap..but wish to know if there's significant gain/performance increase if we go for o/c rig?
Why suggest ATi Radeon? heard lotsa stories about driver incompatibility on games using Crytek3 engine.

Yes,there is some performance increament if OC.But OCing are not neccessary,tho..it'll ripped the warranty summore..unless you know what you're doing.. smile.gif

Regarding the GPU,personally,that's the best bang for buck.About the driver,they can always update that from time to time until the driver can suits what's not..

It should be enough, based on what power supply Acer says the M7720 comes with ( 500W / 750W / 1000W ).

Alright! thanks. Question though, should I get the 2GB DDR5 HD7850 or 1GB edition for about RM100 cheaper? 1GB of RAM sounds like alot doh.gif

Actually by current standards, 1GB of VRAM is considered as little considering the amount of texture memory games demand nowadays. laugh.gif.

So 2GB it is then? Just because it's an OC edition doesn't mean it will be incompatible with my motherboard and PSU right? (as long as I don't OC la hahahha)

It will be compatible as long as your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot and your power supply has enough power. smile.gif

Performance is the same for Xeon and i7, Xeon is cheaper because it does not has iGPU(which is weak and useless) and lack of ability to overclock.

Xeon = Price of i5 = i7's performance.

Low quality extension powersocket also sometime produce shock.

Your processor probably won't be fast enough to cope with triple-screen gaming, i.e nVidia's surround vision and AMD's Eyeinfinity. You'll want to upgrade your processor, but since LGA775 processors are very hard to find, you're better off buying the latest processors instead ( LGA1155 / LGA2011 ). However, that will warrant for a RAM and motherboard change.

Hi, need some input from you guys..

Processor: Intel Xeon E3 RM699
Cooler: (Stock cooler good enough?)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-M RM339
Graphic Card: (Occasionally gaming, mostly movie)
Hard Disk: Intel 520 Series RM399
RAM: Kingston 8GB Value RM119
Casing: Corsair 300r - RM299 (Good?)
PSU: FSP Hexa 500W - RM149 (Good?Stable?TrueP?)
Optical Drive: LiteOn DVD Writer RM60

If possible the budget will be 2k.. Possible to get the required spec?

Chosen Xeon E3 as I prefer multitasking, however some features seem not compatible with the Asus board, so which should I change?

How about you help me decide the processor(quad core at least) and mobo future proof if possible..

Regarding the SSD, any difference with 330 series and 520 series?
Don't need extra hard disk as I've it.

As for graphic card, I doesn't need high end as mostly I just watch movie and only occasionally playing some games..
Probably budget for this around 300-400 would do..

If you've better casing that could suggest please let me know..

As for the power supply, will it be good enough? or should I upgrade it to SilverStone?

Processor: ?
Motherboard: ?
Graphic Card: ?
Hard Disk: Intel 320 Series/520 Series RM319/RM399
RAM: Kingston 8GB Value RM119
Casing: Corsair 300r - RM299

mobo future proof is by what definition? because when new processor come out also will need get new mobo coz none of the current mobo will be able to support next generation proc unless they have same socket.

Xigmatek Asgard Pro - RM150

Sapphire HD Radeon 7850 RM599

=RM2073

If Intel 330 60GB is RM219
RM2073-100 = RM1973

If you want are interested in overclocking than change to Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
RM2073+169 = RM2242
(If you want OC than need better PSU but I think for now no need)

This H77 mobo can support up to current latest processor if not really interested to overclock your CPU can upgrade to newest proc currently. Xeon also can support.

If want quad core CPU than get i5-3470
RM2073+212= RM2285

how about
Intel Core i5 3470 RM564 <--quad core as you wanted
MSI B75MA P45 RM229 <-- decent mid-range motherboard with decent features
Kingston Value RAM 1x4GB RM54 or 1x8GB RM114
Sapphire HD7770 RM399 <--- a weak but not so weak GPU
<no HDD required as reusing old HDD>
Intel 330 SSD 120GB RM299 <-- the 520 have longer warranty and maybe faster transfer speed, but honestly even the standard SSD speed is fast enough
FSP Hexa 500W RM149 <-- low end but good quality PSU
CM K280 RM128 <-- cheap casing with good build quality and cable management features
Lite-On 22x DVD Drive RM59
Total: RM1941

optional upgrades: Sapphire HD7850 RM649 (better gaming performance), Enermax NAXN 550W RM215 (PSU), Intel Core i5 3570 RM614, Corsair Carbide 300R RM299

for gaming wise, what resolution are you gonna play and what type of games? cause the HD7770 will struggle on graphical intensive games

as for the cooler part, stock is fine enough. but if you feel like splurging, CM Hyper TX3 Evo at RM79 or CM Hyper 212 Evo RM120++ gives you good performance to money value

Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 RM564
Motherboard: Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP RM289
Hard Disk: Intel 330 Series/520 Series RM319
RAM: Kingston 8GB Value RM119
PSU: Enermax NAXN 550W RM215

How was this setup?
The 330 and 520 series warranty how long is the differences?
Motherboard Asrock brand good? Been using Asus motherboard for long time..
The below part I'll decide by own basing on my budget.

Graphic Card: Sapphire HD7770 RM399 / Sapphire HD7850 RM649
Casing: Corsair 300r - RM299 / Xigmatek Asgard Pro - RM150
Optical Drive: LiteOn DVD Writer RM60
*
Intel 330 series are cheaper than 520 series..by a LOT.
You can also consider Xigmatek Asgard 381 or Corsair Carbide 200R as a chassis..and FYI,Sapphire HD6870 is on a promotion rite now at Lingloong(Garage Sales).RM399 only..

Hi guys. Life is getting too dull for me. Plan to get a budget gaming rig to fill up the empty space. My budget is less than rm2000. Games that Im hopeful to play with be sleeping dogs, diablo3, gw2 and probably all the latest games without any hiccups. I already have my own monitor, a Samsung 23". After doing some research found this suggestion by tristanx.

Core i3 3220 - RM355
Asus P8Z77-M motherboard - RM339
Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 x1 - RM56
Sapphire HD7850 2GB DDR5 OC - RM719
WD Blue 500GB hard disk - RM174
Liteon DVD writer - RM60
FSP Hexa 500W power supply - RM149
Coolermaster Elite 431/Aerocool VS4 casing - RM149

Any input on this guys? Anything else that I should modify? I will probably be getting this rig at Penang island. Gonna try asking pc depot later, hope they got all the parts. Thanks in advance.

And Ive just learnt that Sapphire HD7850 has 2 types, one is 1gb another is 2 gb. Logical thinking the 2gb will be twice better than the 1 gb. So I should opt for the 2gb one even though I don't know anything about oc? (but will definitely improve gaming performance by a lot I suppose)

2gb is not twice better than 1gb. It will be slightly better if only u are using higher resolution. If u don't know anything about OC then u should take the OC version because its factory OCed so u don't need to do it manually

why the need for Z77 board though? the i3 cant be OCed, a B75 or H77 should do fine.. unless youre planning future upgrades to K variant CPU?

as for the card, add in another RM80 to RM799 for the HD7870, loads better then the HD7850

the rest seems fine

as for the RAM of GPU, if youre playing at bigger resolutions and like to have all the eye candies stuff, more RAM is better

Apparently the 300R is built in such a way that motherboard standoffs aren't necessary, so it's no surprise that they didn't come with any. smile.gif Good anyway since it will help simplify installation, and also prevent any possible issue with loose motherboard standoffs.

Other than for first time motherboard driver installation, the discs aren't really important since the drivers included are usually outdated laugh.gif. If you're doing first time installation, and you don't have the motherboard disc and you don't have an extra computer at home, you may not be able to do much with your system since to connect to the internet you will need the LAN driver. The most important driver in the disc is usually the LAN driver, since you'll need that to connect to the net, and from there on you can go on to get the rest of the drivers laugh.gif. Without a GPU driver, your system should work as usual, except that you may not be able to set the monitor resolution properly, and also you may face random graphical lag.
