hi, I wonder this rig will do. comment?
CPU- i5 3330 RM539
Mobo- Asrock B75M DGS RM199
RAM- Kingstone 8GB value RM220
GPU- SAPPHIRE R9 280X RM1200+- (still not sure which one yet)
HDD- WD Blue 1TB RM189
PSU- CoolerMaster GX 550W RM219
-no ODD-
Casing- CM N200 RM150
-total- RM2716
- For game (SC2, Crysis(s), Batman(s), 'Steams', BFs, CODs, some small MMO, some new titles)
- Lots of photo editing (Photoshop, lightroom)
- I try to keep the price down, is the CM GX 550W good for this setup?
- In future, I might go dual monitor setup, does is cost power from my PSU?
- Also price wise, is it worth to use haswell processor by adding RM120 more by swapping i5 3330 with i5 4430 and Asrock B75 DGS with B85 Pro4? lets say I'm in tight budget
- GPU wise, is it worth to go for Toxic/Vapor-X version rather than cheapest OC-ed from Sapphire?
- 1600x900 monitor, and occasionally might use 1080p TV. might upgrade 1080p monitor in future also.
- no ODD since I got one already from old desktop. tested, still good eventhough been idle for 5 years
*addition* I'm building this hope that it can still be used in future photoshop version (4-5 years more). I don't actually care for ultra setting in game, I think in 2 years I appreciate if still can use medium
any comment/critique are highly appreciated.
