already got a nb (i3-370M), mostly work on desk and plug to 22"
LCD

want to build a cheap pc. must have HDMI so can plug in to TV for movie.

Not playing games.

NEW:
cpu Intel I3 4130
ram KINGSTON D3 PC1600 8GBx1
mb ASUS B85M-G
psupply FSP Hexa 500w
casing CM343 elite

Old parts on hand:
hd intel ssd 530 240g
monitor Dell 22”
kb/mouse microsoft
Question：
1. 2x4GB or 1x8GB RAM better?
2. Any recommendation for Power supply and casing? do not want to spend so much on these things as not going to overclock.
3. any other things i miss out?

thank you and hope to assemble this new machine soon

alright, so 2x4gb ram bcos of the dual channel thingy? will look into it

fsp hexa 400 vs 500 (RM129 vs 145)

MTB wise, ASUS　B85M-G  vs Asrock B85M Pro 4 (both same price, RM279). warranty wise Asus should be 3 yrs, any idea how long for Asrock? Asrock seems to win in terms of number of USB ports

Thanks

price from c-zone.

[Budget] about 1k-1.5k

[Purpose] Home use (surfing,document typing and a bit gaming)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Games such as Osu!/ The Sims

[Personal preferences] Intel/AMD whichever is fine.
If could include cheap decent graphic.
Not sure about this, but for desktop that can stand being used for long hours (6-8 hours daily), what kind of casing/cooler would be suitable?
Already have a monitor so won't need rec for that.

[Location] KL

In advance, thank you so much for the recs

dudes! I have updated my potential rig! no longer looking at AMD FX8350 anymore!

Intel i5-4670K
ASUS GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5 (please advise if there are better cheaper GPUs out there)
Coolermaster HAF XB

please help me complete this list. My budget is RM2500(lower is better!) thanks!

Sapphire R9 270 2GB DDR5 vs GTX 650TI Boost

which one better?

best and value mobo to match with?

nvm can top up a bit. this one gooding?

CPU: Intel Core I5 4440
MOBO: Asrock B85M Pro4
RAM: GSKill AEGIS 1x4GB DDR3 1600mhz
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
Chasis: Bitfenix Prodigy White
PSU: FSP HEXA 500W PSU
GPU: Sapphire R9 270 2GB DDR5

oh. Performance in term of? So should I change it? 

Is the Sapphire R7 260X 2GB OC better than the Leadtek Winfast 650 Ti Boost 2GB?

where is this benchmark retrieved from btw?

hi geng. I was given this specs:-

CPU: Intel Core I5 4670 RM715 (firm want to use this processor)
MOBO: ASrock B85M-HDS RM245  (4 x USB 3.0, 8 x USB 2.0 ) (i think 2 x usb3.0 and 4 x usb 2.0 is enuf)
RAM: GSKill AEGIS 1x8GB DDR3 1600mhz RM265
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD RM195 (i thought can get cheaper?)
Chasis: Bitfenix Prodigy-M Black RM310 (im paying too much for just chasis, any suggestion for chassis with good air flow? Doesnt even have to be branded kaw2. its just a chasis. thinking of going with Aerocool coz looks cheaper)
PSU: FSP HEXA 500W PSU RM149
GPU: Sapphire R7 260X 2GB DDR5 OC RM530 (i still want to use GTX650Ti)
WIFI: Tplink TL-WN881ND RM60
ODD: Liteon 24x Sata DVDRW RM60

I can get a Dell S2340L for RM530. Any areas where i can cut down? I want to keep budget under RM3k.

Sorry my bad. I'm overhauling my entire system, and I'm pretty much 80% done except for the SSD, HDD and PSU. So yeah, just the three components.

As for SSD, I guess the Samsung 840 Evo 250GB should be fine then, since it's also cheaper than equivalent plextors or intel ones.

For HDD, I'm not sure as seagate has some pretty food stuff as well. I'm just looking at something that can run a long time unlike my older WDs which decided to die off after 3 years.

For PSU, hmmm, I've read that CM V models are basically rebadged of Seasonics. Will take a look at the V1000 model.

The G10 does have issue with VRM cooling, but some sticky thermal tape and chipset heatsinks is all that is needed to bring down VRM temps to around 50°+

No worries. No rush anyways. Wanna carefully look around at components before I commit, especially WCing. And seriously, thanks for the feedback. =)

HDD is all about luck, if you lucky, you get one that virtually can last forever, if you bad luck, RMA is like your daily routine... Even you turn seagate, it also won't guarantee that it won't fail in 3 years time.

Yeah, the V1000 is pretty cheap at Viewnet, RM649. Probably can ask for more discount if pay by cash.

Me also the same. Although I know how to do it, not surely, just with watching the videos.
But they always mention about electrostatic, which makes me quite scare..

Madafacka decided to sell his 780Ti and build a *bleeeeeeep* QUAD 290X CROSSFIRE.

Brb, imma go cry in a corner right now. T.T

quite minimal for gaming, but there will be a greater margin of difference if you use it to power up your integrated graphic card(i.e AMD's apu or Intel i3/i5/i7's HD series)
true also. since the power usage for that build would be too bad for price/watt 

both apu and intel i3/i5/i7's HD integrated gpu uses ram as its vram, so, the same concept applies?　exclude the Iris Pro Graphics 5200 series though.

Guys! I just realized something..
Is it just me, that Leadtek only made nvidia gpu?
So funny don't know this whole time..

Asus, Gigabyte and MSI both are mix mix one.

I thought only "us" that have personal preferences..

Just now, I tried to search the "leadtek R9 290" at Lelong" but no result..
When typing it, I kinda felt weird.. That's when I realized it..
