not really into AMD GPU after heard so many negative comment from the internet, is it really good? how much it cost? why u suggesting this GPU btw, thank you

Just went at afternoon and purchased and they do carry Sapphire cards actually
They didnt have the normal version, so i got the sapphire 7770 vapor x model, but i only realized after i bought it, a extra RM10 could get me the sapphire 7790, so definitely in a facepalm moment now

Last question, not sure if this is too off topic, but a CM K280 with just the front fan installed is enough to cool the rig right? Gonna leave everything stock as i want this rig to last me around 3-4 years

look like you have poison me  , but why all the benchmark that i found on the internet stated 7970 is weaker than 670 ? i just took a view on some price list, there are two type of 7970 in sapphire brand

SAPPHIRE HD7970 3GB D5 384BIT OC  [1299]
SAPPHIRE HD7970 3GB D5 384BIT VAPOR-X  [1399]

I just dont get it, since we can OC ourselve, but why many GPU they come out a OC version itself?? what the point? and the difference between these two are RM100... sorry i am very new to GPU still

what about i OC the vapor x GHZ edition? wipe out the pre OCed?

Should I go for -
i7 3770 - RM869
asus p8z77-m - RM339
sapphire 7970 ghz vapor-x - RM1399

Kingston 8gb ram RM169
Seasonic S 620W RM299
Casing NZXT Source 210 RM179
Dell 21.5" S2240L led ips monitor RM499

total of RM3753
The ssd is not a must for me and i already have a dvd drive.
Should i go for k on cpu for oc ?
Please advise. thanks.

hi there, is me , erm i decided to buy sapphire hd 7970 vapor-x ghz edition 3gb, because i can get it for RM1200 which i think its a good deal, but the processor that i m going to buy was  i5 3570 , which is not good to OC right? i m just afraid i might get bottleneck when gaming because i will OC my GPU, i found some comments from tomshardware, there is a guy who use same processor as i do , get bottleneck on crysis 3, is it better to get 3570k? oh ya BTW my PSU Corsair 650W VS ( A/80+) enough to support my GPU ,right?

ahh haswell processors coming out...having 3k budget for a gaming cpu now, think i should wait for haswell

Hi, hmwgbworld..

If I use i5 but downgrading the gpu to HD7770 Vapor-X OC.. Issit okay? I think 7770 and 7790 not much different right?

Thanks..

Hi, ezmeer94.. The price is 419 for 7770 n 475 for 7790..  Trying to cut down the budget to around 1.6k. Cost my friend my budget very limited..

thanks alot sir.. really appreciate your effort.. is anyone else have any suggestion?

Thanks CheaTeRz. Btw, let say top up a bit my budget n upgrade my gc, which one is better between sapphire 7850 1gb or leadtek gtx650 1gb?

Thanks for the info. Sorry a bit noob here. Coming from console gamer. Haha.. Gonna build this soon.

CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler RM135 Not necessary
Corsair Carbide 400R Casing RM299 If you're okay with the looks
Liteon 24x Sata DVDRW RM65 Last 2 weeks I bought a ASUS DVD optical drive from Viewnet for RM55 only

The rest of the hardware is okay.

Hi, currently this is my rig:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H with onboard graphics HD4250
CPU:  Phenom II X2 555 BE (unable to unlock to 4 cores)
Cooler:  Hyper 212 evo
PSU: Seasonic G 550w
RAM:  4 gig Corsair DDR3 1333 x 1
HDD:  500gig
DVD:  LG LiteOn
GPU:    Leadtek geforce GTX650 (not installed yet)

I want to upgrade the mobo to a low-budget gaming rig but I want to keep the CPU and the rest of the equipments as they are. At the same time, the new mobo is to be able to be linked as a HTPC to my LCD tv and hi-fi.

Would you guys please recommend a suitable mobo for me? My budget is very low +/- RM250  yeah I know not much I can afford right now. My choice mobo brands are: Asus, Gigabyte & MSI; Asus & Gigabyte preferably.

many thanks in advance.
