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

hmm...spent couple of hours reading this section, still blur blur @.@

having a budget of 3.5k, basically now setting my sights on these few

LEADTEK GT670 or 680 or SAPPHIRE HD7970(maybe vapor-x)
8gb ram (corsair/kingston)
WD 1TB blue
Seasonic 620W

as for the rest, processor not sure wan i5 or i7

mobo still no idea at all what's good T.T

ssd...is it necessary? still unsure about what it does too

coolers and casing......

any advices?

thanx thanx

don thk im gonna OC it...don really knw hw those stuff works

the gpu would be 7970 over the 680? is the vapor x a worthy upgrade?

if there is a need for OC, i would need to get i5 3570k along with a z77 mobo rite?

either both MSI or ASRock h77 would do fine?

anyone has experience with avexir rams? getting offered Avexir 8GB 1600MHZ LED RAM for rm240

also deciding between AMD FX6300 and i5 3570k

other parts are Asrock 990FX Extreme 3, WD 1TB Blue HDD, CM GX Power 650W PSU...ssd undecided yet

btw, iinm CM PSU are discouraged to get right? because of reliability issues or somethg

i thk i read this couple of days ago, just to confirm here again

Finalising my choices now, opting for amds instead of intel

AMD FX6300
Asrock 990FX Extreme 3
Avexir 8GB 1600MHZ LED RAM
WD 1TB Blue HDD
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X HD7970 GHz Edition/3G/ GDDR5/ HDMI/ DP/DVI/384Bit
ASUS DVD ROM
Cooler Master GX Power 650W PSU
Aerocool 6TH Element Chasis

total of rm3350 from the supplier im asking

gaming

the price ive been quoted are actually higher than here, since im in east malaysia atm...

even the 7970 vapor x no game bundle one

mainly gaming purposes

AMD FX8350
Asrock 990FX Extreme 3
Avexir 8GB 1600MHZ LED RAM
WD 1TB Blue HDD
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X HD7970 GHz Edition
Corsair GS600 PSU

+ aerocool 6th element chassis

total RM3505, a bit high compared to in west malaysia

still lacking a monitor, budget rm500 or so quite flexible, any suggestions?

yeah, but too bad im in east mas atm...after buy + postage also around same price

as for the monitor, how about AOC monitors? thk their 23" is like rm100 cheaper than dell's... anyone has experience with that before?

i even saw lingloong selling msi R7970 for rm1379 but not sure if the shop here supplying msi brand

hmm...actually i was comparing between i5 3570k + AsRock Z77 Extreme 3 and fx8350 + AsRock 990FX

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...

hmm...if i go for the 3570k, what mobo should i pair it with? z77 extreme 3 or extreme 4?

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?

double post

That's just.... ouch

i don thk there is a shop since he deals online only, but his prices are the cheapest so far available in miri

anyway to Speedodevo u can always try local shops like pc image, or there's a new shop called pc wizard in krokop
