Dell's UltraSharp monitors are currently on sale, worth it?

well AMD does have very strong cards on the low to midrange market for quite a while now you'll have to ask users of premier to compare on this, turning out to be a software question already

Lol no idea, this one have to ask Adobe for answers

oh man,well i'll better stick with nvidia cards then,just to be safe:D

I wana ask also I plan to put in SSD's, and my area i only can buy Kingston v300 120gb or Mushkin CHronos 120gb, i know the mushkin is higher SPeed of 450mb vs 550 mb but the price is somewhat higher too, issit worth the Mushkin? Kingtonr 128gb is RM285 while Mushkin is RM329

Dear Sifus,

Can help to recommend for the mobo, ssd and ram for my rig?

Thanks in advance..

CPU : i5 4670K (confirm)
CPU Cooler : H80i (confirm)
PSU: CM GX 550W (confirm)
MB : CF + OC support must
SSD : not decided (120gb)
RAM : not decided (8 gb)
GPU : R290 (confirm)


It's my first time trying to do serious OC so i guess entry level to mid range mobo?

SSD - Reliable (higher/faster data transfer would be secondary)

I'm hoping not to spend over 2.5k for MB, SSD, RAM, GPU. But i'm trying to future proof the build so suggestions slightly higher than the budget is ok.

Only gonna be used for gaming primarily. Appreciate any help offered

Horrible PSU... I'd get this: Super Flower Golden Green HX for RM299 from GBros.
H80i? Why don't you take Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro? or maybe NZXT Kraken? or a traditional high end air cooling? Like the NH-D14 or the Phanteks PH-TC14PE?

For a serious OC board... Take a look at this picture here: http://sinhardware.com/images/vrmlist.png

SSD... Take a look at Samsung's 840 EVO 128GB for RM360

Any Value 1600MHz RAMs should do the trick.

hi sifus, I plan to get a gaming rig which can last about another 3-5 years. if possible, must be able to play games in high settings. (ultra settings for bf4)

CPU: Intel Core I5 4570
MOBO: ASUS B85M-G
RAM: 8gb ddr3 1600mhz
HDD: 1tb hhd
Chasis: CM K350 Casing
PSU: FSP HEXA 500W PSU
ODD: dvdrw
GPU: R9 270x or GTX760(prefer gtx760 if meet budget)

my budget is rm2500. refer to the spec above, is rm2500 enough or I have to top up? or do u have better suggestions?
this budget does not include lcd, speaker, etc. I have them already.

Thanks in advance! =D

By rough calculation, 2.5k is enough for the spec u listed. But i would suggest top up RM100+ more for better PSU.

okay. thank you!

hi, this seems a weird question, a friend of mine got a bit of money to be wasted he's asking for a red themed inner components for his rig. is it possible for around 2.7k+?

he don't gaming much as far as I know, maybe light racing games such as need for speed, dirt, etc. no high end fps games as he'll get dizzy playing those games.

so, a nice red coloured GPU and mobo maybe a must for him. I've been browsing around, cheapest I saw are MSI N660 gaming GPU and MSI B85M-G43. or, is there any lower priced GPU with some red coloured? oh, and casing, he likes something like NZXT source. anything with windows and simple crafty looking will do.

also, how about rams? I know everything 'gaming' are more to marketing gimmicks with slight or non performance improving at all, but he insisted hope someone can giv some recommendation. thanks

can someone help me which should i upgrade 1st, my budget is max 1k, my purpose mostly for gaming, and multimedia streaming, simple editing only.

my rig :

i3 3220
asus p8b75m-lx
4 gb value ram
antec one casing
500gb hdd wd blue
fsp hexa 500w
HD 7850 1gb ddr5

thinking to upgrade my proc and mobo

i5 4570
mobo?

is it okay?

Xeon E3 and add another 4GB of ram

Well there's virtually no difference at all if you pick up either the value ram or the performance ram. Likewise, most of the time people will pick up the latter because it will look better with their set up.

Try this build ,

CPU-Intel core i5-4430-RM559
Mobo-Asrock H87 Performance-RM399
GPU-Asus R9 270X DCii TOP oc 2GB-RM899
Memory-Corsair Vengeance 2X4GB 1600MHZ ram RED-RM289
HDD-WD Blue 1TB-RM189
PSU-FSP Hexa 500W-RM149
ODD-Any DVD player -RM60
Case-Nzxt Source 210-RM179

total-RM2763

this is no way an optimized rig for that budget, but since your friend wanted parts that are red, this is the best that I could list out.

I am still wondering to either sell my laptop and get a desktop or just stay with my laptop, I am just a 15 year old btw.
Would also want to know what rig i could get if i were to sell it and top up cash.

[Budget]Around 2.7k ( including monitor, speaker and keyboard )

[Purpose] Gaming , Casual internet ( going on Facebook, watching movies )

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Mouse , Mousepad

[Monitor resolution] Would prefer 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] LoL, Battlefield 3, random games.

[Personal preferences] SSD for fast bootup + HDD for storage, Intel CPU.

[Location]USJ Subang.

Also please tell me if it's better to stick or just change, because my laptop is still doing good

thanks. really appreciate this will let him know. where do u get this price?

CPU-Intel core i3-4130-RM359
Mobo-Asrock H81M-DGS-RM179
Memory-Corsair value ram 1x8GB-RM229
GPU-Leadtek 650ti boost 1GB-RM499
HDD-WD Blue 1TB-RM189
SSD-Plextor M5S 128GB-RM319
ODD-any dvd player-RM60
PSU-FSP Hexa 500W-RM149
Case-CM K380-RM149

Monitor -ViewSonic VX2370Smh-LED Black 23" -RM549

total-RM2681

For keyboard you can have a look at logitech combo mouse and keyboard. The monitor has already got in build speaker , though you can get the external one if you wish too.

All from Viewnet except for the case, u can swap for CM K380-RM149 which has a red led front fan if you wanted to.

Thanks !! By the way, where did you refer to get this price?
