Alright, sure can do. Monitor any cheap would do? Or do you have a specific in mind?

Proc - i5-4460 RM 589
Mobo - Asrock H97M-ITX RM 319
GPU - Gainward GTX 760 RM 799
HDD - 1TB WD Blue RM 189
PSU - FSP Hexa 500w RM 149
Casing - Bitfenix Prodigy RM 269
RAM - 8 GB GSkill RAM RM 239

All for RM 2,553. Prices from Idealtech. You have a balance of RM 447 to pick a monitor.

Looking for a mini-ATX setup as well. Been too long since I last looked at hardware reviews ...

Any suggestions for a gaming machine ? Specs should handle BF4 on High, budget ~RM4000 just case & components.

Hi guys,

Finalizing my build thanks to advise from here smile.gif So far specs are :

Proc - i5-4460
Mobo - Asrock H97M Pro 4
HDD - 2 TB WD Black
PSU - Seasonic S12II 620
Casing - Bitfenix Prodigy M
RAM - 16GB Value RAM (8 x 2)
GPU - Pending

Will the RAM sticks be able to fit ? And does anyone have recommendation on a wifi card which will be able to get into that casing ?

GPU pending as I'm waiting for the nVidia 800 series and can live with integrated graphics for a few weeks

Of course, why wouldn't it not fit? sweat.gif You can try TP-Link TL-WN851N, RM59.

If not mistaken, the 800 series release is sometime end of this year. So hopefully you can wait that long. And be prepared for early adopter's "special price". biggrin.gif

"Special price" means more expensive right? Lol.

Do u think after 800 series released, gtx770 price will go down a lot? Im quite worried to buy a desktop right now..

I don't expect it to be higher than the GTX 780 so no harm in waiting. And definitely prices for 700 series will go down, then you can decide then which GC fits your needs vs wallet best.

Grab a modular PSU with flat cables (such as the Seasonic G-550), as it can help you tremendously when it comes to cable management. icon_idea.gif
Also, why with the 16GB RAM?  If you are gaming, just stick to 8GB as more RAM doesn't mean better gaming performance.  You don't need WD Blacks as well, just stick to Green and allocate the rest of your budget to a SSD. icon_idea.gif

Thanks, any more examples of flat cable PSUs ? Or is the Seasonic G-550 already top class ? Also would this be enough for a nVidia 780GTX in my config ?

RAM amount because some of the programs I use are resource hogs tongue.gif

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jul 21 2014, 12:25 PM)
2TB WD Black overpriced. Better spent more and get a WD Blue + 128GB SSD.

16GB of RAM is too overkill, unless you are doing some heavy design/rendering jobs.

Going straight for the Blacks because can't be bothered to move my Steam / Origin library around. 40GB to OS would leave me with 80GB , which is already less than the size of my downloaded library. (Or even Titanfall + BF4)
