4460 is sufficient. GTX 770 will increase the performance by a whole lot.

Yup,worth it.


I wouldn't spend 100-110 ringgit more just to get .3Ghz increase.

can anyone recommend me a new rig with 1,5k budget?no monitor needed
processor maybe i3 or i5
ram would be 4 to 8gb
graphic card nvidia preffered
mostly used for gaming like assassins creed,nba2k14 and other new games.

Mobo:Asrock H81M-DGS RM179

You may need to tone down the settings to play games like BF4,AC4 etc.

Thanks for the suggestion

The suggested processor is the Haswell model right?

How about the cooling part, do I need to get specific one or just go with the standard?

Yup..Haswell Refresh.
The stock cooler will be fine.

One more thing, how does the different between normal GTX750 and the Ti model? Is there any significant difference?

there is.



the non-Ti are around the same tier with R7 260x

GTX750 is on par with GTX650Ti..and the difference is shown above.

Hi there, I am thinking of replacing my laptop of ~3 years to a desktop. My laptop specs are :
i7-2630QM
NV GT 540M
4G Ram

With a budget of 1.5k, how much better will the suggested desktop be from my laptop approximately?

thanks for the recommendation ,what is the different between Asrock H81M-DGS and Asrock H81M-VG4, the reason i asked this is because i can't find H81M-DGS in viewnet list since i will be purchasing it online

If I am not mistaken, it's the onboard display output that is different only.

Yup,the Asrock H81M-VG4 only have D-Sub,the H81M-DGS have DVI-D and D-Sub.

ohhh ok,thanks guys ,one more question, how do i purchase the stuff from viewnet via online ? email them ?

i see many build intro asrock mobo
issit good?
compared to others?

Asrock boards are fine. And they're priced slightly cheaper compared to other brands, so you can save some bucks there.

Hello, would it be better to purchase "off the rack" desktop system e.g. Dell, Lenovo? or build a desktop as in pick and choose individual parts?

Would "off the rack" desktop allow for upgrading in the future i.e. RAM, graphic cards, etc?

Planning to buy a desktop system for content downloading (70%), office and light gaming (30%). Would a budget of RM1k be sufficient for a i5 system?

based on my exp, off shelf system doesn't allow future upgrading except for things like RAM and HDD since the casing used is not a generic casing like what you see at pc shops...they have their own OEM casing with its own shapes n blocks...for 1k i guess can only i3 system or perhaps intel G series.. other sifus may advise u on this
