ohh. i guest i will stick with asrock. now gonna decide either wanna save more for i5 or build it like this. btw which i5 should i take if i decide to save up

i5-4440 @ RM 579. That's the cheapest i5.

I knew that, but Asrock brand is cheap and sturdy

Mhmm..

The price would probably be slightly cheaper once Broadwell is out!

Broadwell this Q3 or Q2 this year?

I think somewhere around July or August..

Q2 it is then! Hurrah,

how about mid range or good i5? how much would it cost?

Well that's it, the i5-4440 is the cheapest of them all ._.

cause i think i might not be building this rig so fast cause i am having mid term and finals soon. so i might build it either in Q2 or Q3 so between that i can save up more. if i got sufficient money i would of course get a better i5 so any suggestions?

Yeap, it'll do. Save up till RM 600 or so and see what's the next gen of Intel has to offer.

i5 4440 is enough.i5 4570 and 4670 aren't worth getting it IMO unless u've like 6-7K budget..

if i got extra budget which 1 should i upgrade?

What'dya mean by upgrade? GPU Upgrade? Proc Upgrade?

Psst,SSD pun boleh!

Only Stated IPS only ....If IPS only the price range is around 500-600 for 23" IPS LED ??? AH-IPS is latest technology ??? Between how to identified if it was a AH-IPS or P-IPS if the panel type only stated IPS ??

Found these in web

These below were all developed by Hitachi

Super TFT (IPS) - 1996 Wide viewing angle 100/100 Base level Most panels also support true 8-bit per channel color. These improvements came at the cost of a slower response time, initially about 50 ms. IPS panels were also extremely expensive.

Super-IPS (S-IPS) - 1998 has all the benefits of IPS technology with the addition of improved pixel refresh timing.

Advanced Super-IPS (AS-IPS) - 2002 Improves substantially on the contrast ratio of traditional S-IPS panels to the point where they are second only to some S-PVAs.

IPS-Provectus (IPS-Pro) - 2004 The latest panel from IPS Alpha Technology with a wider color gamut and contrast ratio matching PVA and ASV displays without off-angle glowing.

IPS alpha (IPS-Pro) - 2008 High contrast ratio Next generation of IPS-Pro

IPS alpha next gen (IPS-Pro) - 2010 High contrast ratio Technology transfer from Hitachi to Panasonic



These below were all developed by LG

Horizontal IPS (H-IPS) - 2007 Improves contrast ratio by twisting electrode plane layout. Also introduces an optional Advanced True White polarizing film from NEC, to make white look more natural. This is used in professional/photography LCDs.

Enhanced IPS (E-IPS) - 2009 Wider aperture for light transmission, enabling the use of lower-power, cheaper backlights. Improves diagonal viewing angle and further reduce response time to 5ms.

Professional IPS (P-IPS) - 2010 Offer 1.07 billion colours. More possible orientations per sub-pixel (1024 as opposed to 256) and produces a better true colour depth.

Advanced High Performance IPS (AH-IPS) - 2011 Improved colour accuracy, increased resolution and PPI, and greater light transmission for lower power consumption

Guys, is it ok to get H81 chipset compare to B85?

Torn between Asrock H81M-HDS (RM185) vs Asrock B85M-HDS (RM239). Price gap quite obvious.

I only know that H81 chipset only got 2x USB3. But for Asrock H81M-HDS it got 4x USB3. The rest more less the same.

the Asrock B85M-HDS has 2 more Sata 3 ports and it supports PCIE 3.0 X16 lane while the asrock h81 uses pcie 2.0 running at x16 but since you're using an SSD and a hard disk I assume you won't be using more than 2 sata 3 ports (and the asrock h81m has 2 sata2 aswell if you wish to add more storage)

And the pcie 3.0 vs the pcie 2.0 you won't see any performance different. Its ok to take the Asrock H81M. Looking at your specs , spend the extra money on getting a better power supply

Ahah! Thanks mate. Agree with you.
For the PSU, might be on May.
