QUOTE(djronzai @ May 26 2013, 09:26 PM) Hi guys, i decided to cut my budget by select cheaper price of PSU, my CPU is i5 3570 and GPU is sapphire HD7970 Ghz edition vapor -X , but can i choose Corsair CX series [650W=RM155] or [750W=RM195] ????? The price is much cheaper compare with others brand and series, i doubt the quality though...... Its the builder series, one of the lower class PSU from corsair, but the quality still at least something that u can trust.Oh ya , can CM elite 431 casing fit in my GPU ? as i know, my GPU is quite big in size 185mm if i m not mistaken, thank you Again, not a first time see ppl keep skim on PSU. You got almost everything the best of the best, yet not willing to spend little more for better ones. 650W and 750W CX series is ok as long as u can find it cheap. |

QUOTE(w0rmee @ May 27 2013, 04:14 PM) •Hi all master Sifu's here . This will be my first gaming RiG in a L0o0o0o0ong time (movin from ps3,xbox ) and would appreciate it very much if i can get some constructive feedback/criticism on the below quotation . It's mainly for GAMING & playing HD movies on a 46" Tv which i already have , so it's my first time using a "TV-Screen" as opposed to a PC screen. MY budget was around RM4k , perhaps 5k if justifiable . I'm also really confused if i should go I5-3570k or I7 3770k . Below is a quote i got from a certain company . Appreciate ALL HELP thanks.. The build looks good overall, go for the processor with a 'K' if u intend to overclock it.Intel Core I7 3770 RM890 Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 RM459 Gskill RipjawsX 2x4GB DDR3 1866mhz RM240 CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler RM135 Corsair Carbide 400R Casing RM299 Sesaonic S12 II 620W PSU RM290 WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD RM199 Plextor M5S 128GB SSD RM299 Leadtek GTX670 2GB DDR5 RM1090 Liteon 24x Sata DVDRW RM65 Total RM3966 Haswell is coming soon, you can wait and see if you arent rush. |

A cap ayam PSU definitely not recommended. A download rig often kills a HDD fast since it most likely operate 24/7. So a better HDD grade will be recommended, but cost slightly more expensive. |

Depends, hardcore download geek may open the download client like non-stop.cap ayam PSU definitely going to cost these long hours of downloading + not to say the risk to the HDD as well. still, good enough for spare rig Personally just set the schedule start after midnight and stop at morning 8am.

QUOTE(SGSuser @ May 28 2013, 04:21 PM) hmm...actually i was comparing between i5 3570k + AsRock Z77 Extreme 3 and fx8350 + AsRock 990FX Most processors nowadays are capable of multi-tasking, just depends on how heavy on personal usage. intel set here costs rm1130 and amd set costs rm1030...tho amd consumes more power right? and also amd is better with multi tasking? im still not 100% certain... You only may benefit from the extra cores from amd fx8350 if your programs need more processing power/speed. When comes to gaming, both OC'ed i5 3570k vs FX8350. i5 stands most win in gaming performance. However, AMD do offer slightly cheaper because of the mobo price. But, amd mobo doesnt support latest pcie 3.0 that may benefit in future. And amd mobo needs at least dual slot x16 mode pciex16 slots for better multi-gpu scaling.

QUOTE(SGSuser @ May 28 2013, 06:37 PM) from what i see, msi mobos having similar specs are cheaper right? is the asrock z77 extreme 3 is in the same group as the cheaper msi z77-g43? This is MSI Z77 G43 QUOTE • 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots - PCI_E2 supports up to PCIe 3.0 x16 speed • 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot - PCI_E4 supports up to PCIe 2.0 x4 speed Ok, enough of spoon feed, pls use google to check them by yourself. It is your responsibility to do survey instead of me. |

QUOTE(Pegasus88 @ Jun 1 2013, 09:25 PM) yea, actually I was asking for a 5k rig recommendation but professionals here ask me can wait for haswell or not For haswell, i5 4670k is the one, cost at RM729. While Ivy i5 3570k still maintain RM679.but I dont really know the new model of equivalent to the previous model. Like which one is 3570k for Haswell. |
