hi, if plextor m6s would it be a lot better? cause price differ a bit. and hows kingston brand and crosair brand ssd? their price almost same, oso rm300+

[Budget]: Around RM1500

[Purpose]: Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use]: Needs the rig only. Re-using my old DVD-Drive.

[Monitor resolution]: Full HD, 1920*1080.

[Games & softwares that use frequently]: osu!, LoL, google chrome. (might play heavier games in the future )

[Personal preferences]: Try to stick with Intel

[Location]: KL area. Can visit Lowyat plaza no problem.

So far light gaming only. If possible can get a better CPU. Probably will upgrade to a better Graphic Card after this when I play games a lot

fuyyooooo, no wonder never see legends recommending

How about installing a Linux distro on the old machine?

Intel Core i5 4440 3.1GHz RM569
Asrock H97 Pro4 mainboard RM329
Kingston KVR1600MHz 4GB RM129
Antec VP-550P 80+ Bronze PSU RM199
WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD RM189
Bitfenix Comrade ATX Case RM149

Total - RM1564.000

Buy a GPU when the time comes..

I need a GPU now, but not so powderful first

I mean a rig around RM1500 including a cukup-makan GPU

Another option if you want a discrete GPU.

If you want an Intel build with a discrete GPU,then consider this.
CPU:Intel Core i3 4130 3.4GHz RM345
Mobo:Asrock H81M-DGS RM179
GPU:Palit GTX750 StormX OC 1GB GDDR5 RM420
RAM:Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM129
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM179
PSU:Antec VP-550P 80+ Bronze RM199
Casing:CM K380 RM149/Gigabyte GZ Series Casing RM69
Total:RM1600/1520
GPU is from GBros@GS,the rest are from Viewnet.

Technically, M6S should be superior, since it is meant to be a successor to the M5S anyway. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7896/plextor...-256gb-review/5

Kingston HyperX 3K series is also fine. Corsair, I don't usually recommend, as Corsair did not do a very good job in the customization of the firmware on their Sandforce based drives on their earlier series (many years back). They have likely improved over the years now. Corsair makes great products by the way. Of all, I would personally stand by the reliability of Intel based drives. That is my personal recommendation.

so what would be the best ssd if i wanna buy a ssd around rm3++ budget.

If you need a dedicated GPU, then can't fit i5 (better CPU as you stated) in your budget. Also, the Intel HD 4600 is more than enough for most (if not all) light gaming.

IMO, if you plan to upgrade in future, it is better to get a more powerful CPU without dedicated GPU for now than getting a weaker CPU and weaker GPU. For the former, you just need to add in a GPU, no money is lose. For the latter, you need to undergo the hassle of selling both CPU and GPU (at depreciation) and spend more to get a better CPU and GPU.

Samsung for speed, Intel for reliability and warranty.

Yes, and they have good support in terms of warranty. Last time I RMA-ed (via Intel directly) my board and got a replacement within a week. Yes, it is that fast, once you've cleared all their troubleshooting etc.

Hi guys. Just wanna update you all.
After i change casing to Graphite 230T last 2 days, i monitor the temp. Much2 better. 280X now max gaming is hover around 73c. Idle 38-39c. It is true that the casing + airflow with proper fan, can make significant improvement in temp. Love my setup now.

Teaser the 230T with JetFlo.

so, u recommend which one? intel 530?

Yes, can really consider going for the Intel 530.

ok if samsung evo and intel 530 which one faster?
