- You won't get any performance improvement in gaming with performance RAM. Corsair 8GB Value RAM would be good enough.
- That PSU is kind of expensive. Cheaper alternatives such as Seasonic M12II 620w is just good enough.
- Dell P2312H is also a good alternative with cheaper price.

thanks for the feedback, the ram is on rm2++ after discount so i guess no harm right..

thanks guys for the recommendation, already ordered mine..cant wait

discount from which seller?

idealtech, discount cause ive bought cpu + asrock mobo

Bro, 290 TriX has rattling issues. Just so you know. Also, the case is wasted, you could have gotten a smaller one like the Source 530 which is cheaper and neater. Unless you're sure of dropping 1.5-2k on WC then okay fine you need the space.

Morever, the 2400Mhz RAM is often CL11, which is isn't any different from that if cheaper options like the Kingston HyperX Fury 1600Mhz.

And agreed, you don't need that PSU. Even a S12-II or M12-II would've sufficed.

Did they ambush PM you the whole suggestion?

Already answered mang. What else you wanna know lol. Any full to ultra tower NZXT or Corsair case can handle custom WC.

Lel didn't noticed it..

owh shiii..guess ill have to contact them to change to diff 290, which is recmmended? about the casing, thats my own preference since i do planning to do much more to this rig..

they didnt ambush me, i just pmed few reputable seller here and picked the best deal

I think u might have very limited choice since for AMD GPU i guess they only carry Sapphire & Asus, i heard they stop selling MSI already due to warranty issue.

Don't worry just asking.

Hmmm, you can get ASUS ones, but their cooling solutions aren't that great seeing that they took a nVidia based cooler and slapped it on. IIANM. You can try a Powercolor 290 PCS+ or Gigabyte GV-R929OC-4GD R9 290 OC Windforce.

problem is, seller only have asus n sapphire card lel..between those 2

You can always buy the GPU from somewhere else haha.

If its the ASUS DCII (R9290-DC2OC-4GD5) version it should be fine.

fuh, yes thats the one that im thinking to change..guess it'll work out somehow..

guy rekemen me RIG 4.5k-5k

ahaha good luck mate. Let us know how it goes.

Post it here when its done.

Know shouldn't ask like this but when it comes to pc I am total noob. Is it worth to buy?
I am actually looking to buy a new dekstop but budget only around 2k include monitor. But saw this in garage sales.

Mostly use for movies, browsing internet, games (Dragon nest, dota, LoL,).

The pc will be situated in a room with no sunlight, minimal air-flow (only fan).

Thanks all.
