Mhmm..

You still remember hehehee...

Yes the sound can come out from the tv as HDMI do carry both audio and video signals.

@ 1080P that GC can run well with new games, eventhough you will have to turn some of the eye candies but it will still work well.

Btw that mouse better get the Deathadder 2013 instead, really nice mouse to use .

spadecrew, here are my answers to your questions:

Yes, if you connect the PC to the TV using HDMI, and you install the latest drivers, you will get sound coming out through the TV's speakers.

Yes, the 500W PSU is sufficient to power the R9 270X GPU.

Yes, the R9 270x is able to handle resolutions up to 1920x1080 (most common TVs 39" and above have this resolution), so it should not be any concern.

One thing to note, since you will be pairing the PC with a TV and could possibly use the PC to play TV shows or movies, then it might make sense to go for a very quiet card, and try to use low-noise components in your rig. The i5 is very quiet so no issues there, but I would be concerned on the sound from the Sapphire Dual-X fans, and also the FSP HEXA PSU. Maybe you might consider investing a little bit more budget to get a graphics card that is quiet from MSI (Twin Frozr), and maybe a Cooler Master M2 series PSU. I have experienced both before, and they were suitable for watching movies (totally cannot hear from more than 6 feet away).

i wonder, any second hand monitor at lowyat?

Yup.There is.Just proceed to the Garage Sales section.

Here.
https://forum.lowyat.net/MonitorsGarageSales

i know. already search it but what i mean is in lowyat kl. haha

LOL!
In LYP?I've no idea.You can ask the people who have went there before,i haven't..

I don't think there is anybody in Lowyat KL selling second hand PC stuff. Phones yes. But otherwise I don't think so.

Unless you can ask some of the smaller shops in the back areas if they have any used monitors. Or buy a display unit for a lesser price.

I've seen used laptops for sale before in Low Yat Plaza KL, but I've not seen used monitors. It is better to go into the Low Yat Net forums, in my opinion.

It is also not common for people to sell their monitors unless it is very old, maybe 4:3 aspect ratio monitors. Monitors are not upgraded as often.

why want to upgrade? ENVY

my system is actually ok. i3 3220, 4gb ram, R7870, b75 chipset mobo. but now when look at mitx build, i want it. haha
since my mobo is matx, there's no way it gonna fit in mitx case. that is the only reason.

suggestion, sifus here can provide choices for tower build or sff build. we might not ask, but who knows someone might like it. i came here one year ago to ask suggestion for my system and till now, i still visit, lurking in the dark. haha

congrats for V5.

Yes.There are 2nd hand monitors at LYP.But the pricetag seems very wrong..almost the same like you're buying the new ones... usually,the pakistan's shop selling it.

Kdr31, you're bringing up a good point ... In addition to the common assessment of performance and cost, there are also additional considerations that are important to how a person values their rig. Based on my experience, most people want a small rig, that's also quiet, in addition to being powerful enough for them to game as well as do their workstation tasks.

So low noise, and mITX criteria becomes important in addition to being powerful and cheap.
