What he meant is Asus is overpriced. You can get Zotac version at RM2299. Core i5-4460 spec will blow FX-6350 including overclocked away on games.

Thanks for speedy reply.

Sorry I didn't put the price earlier. Most of the prices are from Feiton. Their prices mostly lower than viewnet.
http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/feiton.htm
AMD FX 8320 AM3+ 3.5GHz - RM515
Msi 970A-G43 - RM233
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600 - RM244
MSI R9 280x 3GB - RM1,099
Samsung 840 EVO SSD 120GB - RM275 (I ald have a 2TB HDD, just need to get a SSD  icon_rolleyes.gif )
FSP RAIDER 650  - RM269
AeroCool VS-3 Advance RM109

Total RM2744

- Will my setup perform better than the one u guys suggest?
- I'm not sure going AMD is the right decision. AMD seems a lot cheaper where I can spend more on GC.
- If going AMD, will FX 6300 enough? Will it be a bottleneck for GC? Should I get FX8320 instead.
- Is GTX 760 suffice?
Again, thx!  notworthy.gif

How is AMD cheaper with FX-8320? You will need at least 8-phase VRM motherboard(RM469 for Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3) so it doesn't kill the motherboard. On top of that, the power supply requirements is higher for AMD CPUs.

You are building a gaming rig. Intel is better for it and there are more games that favors Intel.

It can play 1080p but it may not have room for you to do something else at the same time.

hi all shifus here,

sorry if asking at wrong place.

I am looking for a blue-ray drive for desktop pc to play some blue-ray movie.

And the cheapest I found is this liteonBLU-RAY ROM which cost about RM149.00 (price is from viewnet pricelist).

I just want to double-confirm the above mentioned drive can only read and play blue-ray disc right? Because i only need play some Blue-Ray Movies only. (write and copy not needed).

I wonder if there is any USB external blue-ray drive? cant find any below  RM150.

thanks and sorry for trouble.

It should be able to play Blu-ray movies. However, it will require the software. VLC is one of the software that plays Blu-ray movie.

So, mobo is just about the speed of data transfer. thats all rite?  rclxub.gif

Please also take note there are also games that demands CPU power like Watchdogs, MMORPGs and RTS.

There is difference between GTX750 and GTX750 Ti as well. RM124 for 8GB built-in SSD on Seagate SSHD is expensive. I would suggest going regular 1TB then buy 128GB SSD later. You can always add it later and reinstall or migrate the OS. Data migration has no data loss.

120-128GB SSD can be found for RM239-299 depending on brand and grade of the SSD.

Yeah, the price dropped a lot. Hard to predict the lifetime of it because there are always some games that demands more power.

Some overpriced items there. It can easily go over your budget.

Performance RAM doesn't give you a big boost. Get better CPU instead. 4930K is slightly slower than 4960X

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i...ark,3557-5.html

If you are not going to SLI, 750W is already more than enough.

Core i7-4930K (hexa-core) - RM1819
Noctua NH-D14 cooler - RM339
Asus P9X79 motherboard (8 RAM slots) - RM939

You will have to go mainstream route if you want ITX. No one sells M-ATX or ITX for X79 setup.

is this 4930k worth my money compared with the 4790k ? Can you explain abit on it ?

ps: M6 Pro just arrived lowyat at 585  brows.gif

The work you are doing favors more CPU cores. I already posted the benchmarks on my previous reply. Is additional 2 core with HT and 8 RAM slots with quad channel worth the money for you?

RM585 for 256GB is worth the money. Go for that instead.

Bro,
For running 24/7 and OC to 4.2, rendering video, which one better and cost effective?
1. Hyper 212X vs Noctua NH-D14 vs Noctua NH-D15?
2. Corsair Carbide 300R vs CM Storm Scout 2?

Does Leadtek GTX770 4GB DDR5 needs 2 x 8-pin power connector and will the SeaSonic M12II 620W PSU have the 2 x 8-pin power connector? rav3n82  hmm.gif
*
This setup is more into mainstream and gaming. You have Intel Quick Sync support as well.

Definitely Noctua is better for 24/7 overclocked setup.

I didn't research much on the casing. Just buy whatever you like.
