Idealtech, GBros, Lingloong a.k.a DotatechIT and APES.my, I think Hikari85 also sell Bitfenix Cases

Go with Minecrafter Build, AMP! will destroy Everything...EVERYTHING AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Can any sifus check the pricing from viewnet and idealtech for the same parts, and whether there's anything off about this set:

Processor: i5-4440 rm599
PSU:C.master extreme 525w rm189
Mobo: Asrock b85m-hds rm239
HD: WD 1tb blue rm190
or 2tb rm275
GPU:
1. Giga Gtx650 oc 2gb rm485
2. Leadtek gtx650ti boost and oc 2gb rm559
3. Leadtek gtx 760 2gb rm799
4. Sapphire ati r9 270x oc 2gb rm730
RAM:
Kingston 4gb 1600mhz 4gb rm135 OR
8gb rm255
Casing: Avf hadeso 228 rm129

Other bits:
Keyboard: Logitech mk200 rm45
Monitor Anything rm280

Is there anything wrong with the mobo choice? I'm not entirely sure what that thing is. I just picked a random one whose name I knew. I think all the others at the local shop are Giga. The GPUs are variable depending on what the monitors (RM200~) and everything else costs. I'm looking to spend about RM2.5k max. I'm mostly looking to run some standard games like Europa Universalis IV, Starcraft II and Dota 2 with some Borderlands 2 as well. All of those parts I listed can be found at the local shop near my place. I don't really care about the casing tbh as long as it's cheap. I won't be showing it off.

Whoa that's long. So want all cheap and not into OC'ing right?

Proc - i5-4440 RM 579
Mobo - Asrock B85M-HDS RM 239
GPU - Gainward GTX 660 GS Dual Fan RM 639
HDD - 1TB WD Blue RM 189
PSU - FSP Hexa 500watt RM 150
RAM - 8GB RAM 239
Casing - AVF Hadeso RM 129/CM K280 RM 129
Monitor - Cheap 20" AOC RM 280
Keyboard - RM 45

All for RM 2,489
All prices are from Viewnet except GPU from Idealtech.

The parts that I listed are all compatible right? Is that GTX660 better than any of the 4 GPUs I listed? And is the GTX650Ti boost oc decent enough or would the GTX760 be a better choice? As for the monitor I think I saw a cheap 19" Samsung or whatever for under RM200. I'm actually looking for the best bang for the buck without having to travel to KL other than picking up a part or two or not at all if possible because I hate travelling

Hmm you found one under RM 200? Can invest more into gpu...so let's say the Monitor around RM 180 or so. Extra RM 111, hmm the R9 270X OC is RM 730. Welp it's on to you the GTX 660 is GS which I think that's the best "OC'ed" that gainward could offer. If can for out RM 69 more can get the Leadtek GTX 760 which is good enough

Seems not right.20" monitor only?really?

Intel Core i3 4130 3.3GHz RM369
Asrock H81M-DGS mainboard RM179

Cooler Master N200 case RM129

- Plextor M5S 128GB SSD RM299
- CM Devastator Gaming combo RM149

You can choose to exchange/swap with any optional item.

Sorry bro,tak perasan tadi..

i need to tick this again and again after i switch off the screen...

Guys, check with you all. Does FSP RAIDER 650W 80Plus Silver is a good PSU? These few days planning to build rig, now feel like to get GTX 770 Phantom pulak.

Yup,it can power up the GTX770 Phantom.

RM5000?
i would suggest you to spend 2k for any laptop
and another 3k for custom rig.

so you got laptop to do all the work with mobile advantage and a custom pc rig for fun station and all.

sorry, but what is GS?
garage sales?

ps: price all from ideal tech

Wow that's very nice. You're from Idealtech/Viewnet right bro?

One thing I do not see being discussed is an automatic voltage regulator. I never used to consider it, until I started seeing a lot of rigs I built having power supply failure problems, irrespective of whether the power supply quality was good, or not.

I soon realized that just having a lightning surge suppressor was not sufficient to maintain the reliability of the rig, you also needed to have a automatic voltage regulator. In many parts of the Klang Valley at least, there is a bit of voltage fluctuation, and maybe this reduces the reliability of PSUs, especially if the voltage spikes.

AVRs are not very expensive, about RM80 for a 1000W model, which is more than enough to power almost any rig, and some peripherals as well, like the router, or printer, or NAS. Please consider this additional item in your budget if you are planning to build a rig. It will help prolong the life of your rig.

The 1st option is better if you game at max 1920x1080, since the SSD will really help to speed things along when you are booting or just generally using the computer. If you game at higher than 1920x1080, then the GTX770 is a requirement.

Is it? Im gaming at 1920x1080 only. Will never go beyond that.

Im wondering, since GTX760 will mostly max out current games with above 30fps, do i feel any different if go with GTX770?

Nope.. but the prices are..

Another suggestion :

Intel Core i3 4130 3.3GHz RM369
Asrock H81M-HDS mainboard RM239
Kingston KVR1600MHz 4GB RM129
Palit GTX750Ti StormX OC RM560
Antec Strictly VP-550 PSU RM199
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD RM189
Cooler Master N200 case RM129
Liteon 24x DVDRW RM59
Dell S2240L 21.5" Monitor RM489
CM Devastator Kb&Mouse RM149

Total - RM2519.00

More fps though, but it's dependable on you. And also more durability? The 770 might handle 3-5 year of gaming before going outdated..just like the 4XX series. But hey there's still some 4XX that can still kick *ss

There might be some games, like Crysis 3, that might be able to show some difference between GTX760 and GTX770 if you game at 1920x1080, and if you use AA and ultra quality settings. However, most games will not see a difference between those 2 cards at 1920x1080, the GTX760 is a really powerful card, and is more than enough for most games at 1920x1080.
