Building PC. Enough of laptop liao tongue.gif

Budget about <RM4k maybe. Just don't want to spend more money than needed to if possible.

Core i5-4440
ASRock B85M-PRO4
Asus GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 2G GTX 770
Samsung 840BW EVO 120G
Seagate 3.5" Barracuda 500GB
Corsair Vengeance 8GB Single DDR3-1600
Corsair TX650 / V2 ATX
Coolermaster Storm Scout 2
TP-Link TL-WN881ND 300Mbps Wireless N PCI-E Adapter

Or just spend. laugh.gif

Overpriced PSU....
The Super Flower Golden Green HX 600W is cheaper, while it has 80+ Gold certification and modular cabling. brows.gif
RM299 from GBros@Garage Sales... brows.gif

Why don't you wait for a non-reference R9 290 instead of the 770?

if you're looking to save there is surely some laugh.gif

GPU - Other brands are cheaper, go for Leadtek (Nvidia) or Sapphire (AMD) which doesn't lose on performance, should shave off about RM100 to Rm200 depending on where you get it from

RAM - Value-oriented RAMs will work just fine but stick to Corsair or Kingston, you're paying extra RM30 for cosmetics if you don't do OC

PSU - I'd recommend the FSP Raider 650W, at RM269 for 80+ silver rated PSU is hard to beat

Antec Neo Eco 620 or the Antec High Current Gamer (HCG) 620W modular power supplies... This two units are manufactured by Seasonic, IINM.
FYI, the Neo Eco 620 is a Seasonic S12II (with lower component quality.. sweat.gif ), whereas the High Current Gamer M is most likely a Seasonic M12II unit.

I'd prefer the HCG M in the end though. tongue.gif

Also, can you buy from PCCaseGear? There's should be quite a lot of choices there... tongue.gif

Get the R9 290 here: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...50cddc39247ce8c

A list of Seasonic units here: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...50cddc39247ce8c (The G-550 is highly recommended) brows.gif

A list of Antec units here: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...50cddc39247ce8c
The High Current Gamer M is recommended, and the True Power classic isn't bad, considering it is 80+ Gold certified and built by Seasonic (It's a rebranded Seasonic S12G, IINM).

err guys, your suggestions are very poisonous but you are supposed to help me save money not increase my budget hahaha sweat.gif

I will go with the HCG620M saving me a bit of money.

Any alternatives to the AsRock H87-M Pro4? No stock in the shop

No SSD? ...and WD Green is not intended for a boot drive....
Alternatively, drop the CPU cooler and go with a cheaper air cooling solution if possible... Though the downside is the size of the cooler, it's massive. tongue.gif

PSU is fine... Though I'd prefer the Seasonic G-550... (540W on the +12V rail instead of 504W)...
How about the Samsung 840 EVO 128GB? brows.gif
