Screw out that i5 3330, get i5 3470 with better clock & boost speed by adding RM30 only.
For PSU, get something better such as Seasonic S12II 620W. To secure the power is always more than enough.
Efficiency of the PSU is determining how much powers will be drawn from the socket wall.

Example: 80% efficiency, pc consumes 200W.
So the total power will be drawn socket wall = 200/0.80 = 250W.
The 250W will be the one that being measured by metre reading.
As we can see, better efficiency save more power and money.
For Malaysia the electric is cheaper than other countries, so as long as your psu is 80+ bronze will be good enough to conserve power.

can u recommend a psu then?im not that good in this thing.btw,if change to i5 3470,need to change the mobo as well?

sorry i didnt see u recommend Seasonic S12II 620W there.haha

Seasonic S12II 620W RM299 or Rosewill Hive 650W RM299
The mobo no need change, coz i5 3470 still the same socket as i5 3330.

I'll go and find, usually the shops in PJ selling around this price also is it? Any recommended shops? Or I need go lowyat only can get these price?

Hmm not sure what shops in PJ offer better price and with most bands available. Let's wait and see which forumer stay in PJ or familiar with PJ pc shops to suggest u.
The above spec I suggested is taken from lowyat viewnet & czone price list.

ohh i think got czone and viewnet in Digital Mall, guess I need go windows shopping soon le.

Hmm yeah now u mention the digital mall is from PJ, i google it and found a few it shops are there.

Hello, I'm surveying for a rig, below is the build suggested by Zhen^Wei



I want a total rig without the OS.. Budget is such as above. The purpose of this rig is gaming

I see there's Zotac GTX770 2GB AMP! and Zotac GTX770 4GB.. How much difference is the cards from the 770 2gb? I've seen the benchmark for 770 2gb amp! but not 770 4gb.. And will 770 2gb amp! or 770 4gb fit the build above ?

Hi Guys,

Is this Rig good enough? I have went thru few recommendations and workout the rig on my budget.

I5 4670K
RAM Corsair Dominator 1866mhz GT
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
Leadtek GTX650 Ti
Plextor M5S 128gb SSD
Hyper 212 Turbo Edition
WD 1TB CCTV 64M 7200RPM
Seasonic 620W S1211
Aerocool Strike-X

Thanks!!

i5-4570 rm599
Asrock B85M-Pro4 rm279
G.Skill 8gb 1600mhz value ram rm175
Plextor M5S 128gb SSD rm299
LiteOn DVD writer rm59
WD Caviar Blue 1tb rm195
Enermax NANX 550w rm215
Zotac GTX760 AMP! rm949

Total : rm2770

Go for 4GB only when multi monitor or 1440/1600p gaming, 2GB will do the trick in 1080p, u wont so that much performance increase either way.

If you're looking to play games as the main function of this rig, then you're better off getting a more powerful GPU. And do you actually need the WD red? the caviar blue will suit most people

Actually the WD red, i just randomly pick. I not too sure the difference with other.

As for GPU, i'm not hardcore gamer, so i guess mid-level GPU will be good enough.
But i do comparing between GTX650 Ti and Sapphire HD7790 OC.

I see, so its better to get the 2gb. Preferably the Zotac amp! version right?
