hi everyone!

after finalizing my choices, here is my future rig gonna be like. please comment
still need some suggestion on casing psu fitting since i am still going back and forth with itx or m-atx build for my htpc rig and some occassionaly gaming (games include sims 3, dota 2, civ 5 etc, at 1080p or lower depends on game.)

anyway

m-atx (more flexible i suppose.
i3 3220 or i5 3470 or i5 3570
Asus H77M pro or GIGABYTE H77m d3h for m-atx
Asus HD 7750 (rm 299 at c-zone) or Sapphire HD 7750 ultimate (rm 365)
sg 09 or gd05 or gd06
please recommend psu that will fit the casing and meet my needs, im thinking i would need at least 400-500w
hard disk would be 2tb wd green or blue or seagate.
lite-on dvd-rw worth rm60
kingston value ram 4gbx2 or 8gb?


itx build
i3 3220 as any higher might be too hot for smaller casing?
GIGABYTE H77N-WIFI itx
Asus HD 7750 or Sapphire HD 7750 ultimate (will the casing fit this card?)
bitfenix prodigy or ft03 mini for itx or any of the m-atx casing since they will fit the itx board too right?
hard disk would be 2tb wd green or blue or seagate (the casing will fit this right?
please recommend psu that will fit the casing and meet my needs, im thinking i would need at least 400-500w
lite-on dvd-rw 24x
kingston value ram 4gbx2 or 8gb?

budget rm 2k more or less. i am tempted to get ssd but do u think it will be necessary?

really appreciate your kind advise. already discarding amd option since i want a discrete GC.

hi there!

thanks for the suggestion.

i am pretty fix with my graphic card 7750, since i want this to be htpc first, gaming later, and its the best GC i can get with minimal power consumption(less than 75w), and very quite yet still give acceptable gaming quality. i do still need help choosing the other components.

does b75 a better choice instead of the h77? or is it because u want to fit in the budget due to the rm 879 GC? optical out option does matter for my htpc setup and most b75 mobo doesnt have that, plus i need hdmi output, one is already in my gc for gaming purpose and one to hook up to my TV. I dont use hdmi for sound though, so audio quality of the mobo should be good too.
