Hi guys,

I would like to ask a few things here to sifu:

1) Why do people recommend Asrock motherboard over ASUS (I am seeing b85 Pro Gamer for performance + value)
2) I am leaning towards nvidia too. Is it worth the squeeze @ RM 150+ for gtx 760 OC vs the normal
3) DDR 3 1600 vs 1866, does it make a difference in gaming?

thanks

Thanks all for the prompt reply.

For Asrock B85 Killer, I did not manage to find it under the Viewnet latest list. Where can I get that @ the price suggested Minecrafter?

Mainly I am looking for at least 2 USB 3.0 ports, one for SSD at least.

SATA III ports.

But yeah I guess the mainstream mobos have all that I want I trust I do not need extra sound card anymore? My last desktop was year 2007 and now I returned from my studies, at that time audigy 2 was my sound card and I hear over these years (when I lagged behind in PC world), mobo sound is as good for gaming.

so to finalise my own PC, Sifus here please review and modify if necessary:

CPU: Intel i5 4460
Mobo: Asrock B85 Fatality Killer
GPU: Leadtek/Zotec gtx 760 (depending on who I go to, still to finalise)
RAM: 2x 4gb ddr3 Corsair/Avexir (same as above)
HDD: WD 2TB Green/Purple (Cant afford black )
PSU: Seasonic M12 II Bronze 80+ (Need another suggestion if I take idealtech.com around this price rm 359 as they do not have this option)
Casing: Storm Stryker (Expensive but from Viewnet I dont see another viable, awesome looking option at phantom price) / NZXT Phantom 530

Need suggestion for Cooler too (Do I need this), if I do, Seidon 120V?

Retain ODD, monitor keyboard and gaming mouse

Thanks

cool. Btw the HDD WD Blue vs Green , I thought its only color difference..
For PSU, I also hear modular is easier to tidy up the inside so it doesnt look messy.

ok good, I will go with seagate then. Most likely I will visit Idealtech next week.

+ Do you happen to have read any good article read on routers,I dont have experience on this but I always hear theres a big difference in gaming online experience (right now using DSL 2640B given from tmnet streamyx 4mbps package) so I would want to switch too if I can enhance online experience, even for streaming, if it will make a difference.
