Hi guys.

Im in dilemma for such quite a time. Been looking for a rig (CPU only) that would cost me RM3k. Primary purpose would be on gaming. Any bros can recommend me a 3k rig? Tq in advance! biggrin.gif

Is it ok if I want to connect the CPU to any LED TV instead of Monitor? Any comments?

Expensive Mobo is not necessary?
For cooling , I don't really turn off my computer so i think imma get a cooler for it~
and SSD is kinda ex and small size despite it is fast

Thanks for the recommendation though!  thumbup.gif

Yeah expensive motherboard won't improve performance for gaming

Stock cooler is fine, i never off mine too

It's your choice for the SSD

hi guys, regarding my friend's rig, as suggested by mr CheaTeRz,
he asked me, if he have an extra RM300 more, which is wiser for him to change,
- CPU (to Xeon E3 1230 V3) or
- mobo (to better chipset, maybe B85?)
- GPU (he stress to me he dun play high end game, might be a waste to upgrade according to him sweat.gif )
- or better get an SSD?

review back his usage: lots of photo editing software (photoshop/illustrator/lightroom) with occasional gaming (dota 2, pes)

Just buy it now, you can't keep waiting for next line up.
No one knows, maybe around 2014 Q2-Q3?
