copy pasta from my thread

I haven't build a PC in more than 10 years, I'm very out of touch in terms of parts but I keep track of GPU launches every now and then.

So I have a budget of about RM5000, I'm building everything from scratch so this budget will include monitors, speakers, k/b & mouse and other accessories.

I'm building the PC around AMD's R9 290 GPU and looking forward to gaming @2560x1440 resolution.

I made a rough partlist at here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/23vaK

but it's already out of my budget range (after conversion), could any Sifu here be able to help squeeze in abit more? Thanks a dozen!
PS: are the listed parts available in Msia? if so please recommend any store to source them, I don't mind if its from Singapore as well

Hi, can u help answer the question below?

1)Can sapphire 7750 maximize settings of sc2 on 1080p resolution?

2)7750 1gb is ddr5, and 7750 2gb is ddr3.
I heard the ddr5 can be significant influence on gaming performance. So which mean the gpu to buy muz hv ddr5. So is the 2gb very important? If it is, can u recom me any gpu which is below RM400 which hv 2gb?

Budget: RM 400 (if can,as cheap as possible,but cheap until maximize the performance of games below)
Games: dota2, D3, Sc2, heroes of storm in future.
Never play shooting games or high graphic game like bf n crysis.

Hi guys.

I'm looking at upgrading my rig soon (not sure when TBH, have to save money first  ). Which component do you guys think should be upgraded? I have no budget at the moment, and just want to know what people would upgrade first when given my rig.

I use this rig mainly to play games (BF4, Crysis 3, etc) and will also do some editing every once in a while. Rig was bought and assembled mid-2011.
