Thanks for the help of considering the parts for me due to my tight budget. But instead of saving more money on getting cheaper and less performance parts, I now try to increase my budget rm200-300 more. I gonna use it for 7 years perhaps and due to my heavy multitasking everyday, tons of tabs in chrome and mozilla, words & excels, Visual studio, Web programming, VMwares, light photoshop, Bluestacks, and sometimes gaming on FSP, strategy and PS2/PS1 emulator. My 4 years laptop couldn't serve me longer with these heavy tasks  cry.gif

If you are a heavy multi-tasking user, running multiple programs at the same time, with "tons of tabs", then it makes sense to increase your RAM size, and since you are already at 8GB, you might want to consider getting 16GB.

I would also ask that you consider better cooling for your GPU if you want to use your PC for 7 years.

I am not sure of the details of your budget, but it would be good to review again in detail.

is normal psu in very low power consumption(idle)sometime have hiccup?.my two difference psu have symptom like that.some say it not reach efficiency,its true?

It is hard to provide an answer if you do not provide more details of what you mean by "hiccup", please provide more details if possible.

All PSUs generally have lower efficiency when the power usage is lower (<100W), but once the PC starts up, then the efficiency improves, though I must say that this is quite rarely an issue which can be considered a "hiccup".

Option 1 no doubt. Gaming is more onto GPU power...and 1/2 of CPU powers. To my logic that is.

[Location]what is this for? Where you're based, so that forumers can better advise you where to get it from. Usually, we use LYP's pricelist as reference.

Led blink happens when windows goes to sleep so that is a good thing. Some mobos will even stop the fans, so that I considers good thing as well. As long as the pc comes back on when you want it, then all OK.

Yes, it's definitely good enough, your budget only allows you i3 anyway.

It is faster than current gen R7 260X, and should do well at mid settings 1080p resolution.

Sorry to disturb, here is some nice cases with nice functionalities and features which I have been searching because I was looking for a ATX/mATXcase that comes with friendly budget around RM200, great air flow and provide dust filter, just because my house is always full of dust cry.gif and my coming pc wont be in air con room. I'm not going to review it but instead I include the link someone reviewed for it smile.gif Sorry if these was shared before, but i feel like sharing to u guys.

Top 5 cases of 2013
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i32ISjsxpKc
As the titles tells, this video is focusing on the top 5 cases of 2013 but they also mentioned 5 budget friendly cases at the beginning of the video.

CoolerMaster N200 - RM180
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5mro17ZgZo

CoolerMaster N300 - RM190
Sorry, couldn't find any nice review with english version. cry.gif

CoolerMaster N400 - RM200
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLlhxGhfdjY

Corsar Carbide 200R -RM220
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gpYX3mZ3eQ

Carbide SPEC-01,02,03 -RM184,RM207,RM219
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6lzarZ7quI

Bitfenix Shinobi -RM215
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIG9j65uWFk

Some with higher Price

Bitfenix Ronin -RM290
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Sz03r8DP4

Fractal Design Core 3000 -RM250
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW6K7AFRuOg

Fractal Design Arc Midi - RM280
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF2z6daKMJc

All the price is from Gbros. Not helping him advertise but I was just too lazy to search the cheapest price over the forum, forgive me. There is one thing need to take noted, you will find some usb3 is installed in latest version of cases instead of all usb2, because the reviews are years ago.
Hope this help you guys on suggestting a great air flow, functionalities and budget friendly cases.

Btw, I'm still thinking which case to choose. Lol hmm.gif
