At RM350 most of the monitors around or below that price is about the same, so go with any that you like.

If you want the system to be wifi capable, get a wifi USB dongle for about RM30 or less.

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.

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.

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.

Mod? Modding a board? .

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.

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 .

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

Can't find them either. I could only find the Arctic Cooling F12 Pro TC fans from Viewnet for RM19 each.

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.

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. It will also be more profitable if you sell them separately.

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

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

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.

If you need more processing power, then yes. Otherwise, no.

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. 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 . 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 . 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.
