Hi sifu,
Below are my current build
CPU : Intel Core i5 750 MOBO : GIGAByte P55-US3L GPU : Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X HDD: Seagate 1TB RAM : Kingston DDR3 2GB 667 MHz x 2 PSU : 450W PSU
I would like to upgrade my system to utilize Windows 8 and 8 gb memory. I already have a Win 8 home 64bit oem and Kingston ddr3 4gb 1333
Any recommendation for upgrade?
budget : as little as possible, max 1k

QUOTE(Zgames @ May 14 2014, 03:00 PM) And what do you mean by utilizing all of Win 8? Just add another 4GB Stick and that's pretty much it. Only cost RM 139. That's what i thought but when i go to purchase another RAM in lowyat, he ask me about my CPU, which i told him it's socket 1156. Then have a check then told me they don't have stock for 8 chip RAM. Doesn't have the 16 chip RAM. I can just install Windows 8 on my current rig but running on existing 4 Gb ram seem a bit on the heavy side.

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ May 14 2014, 03:39 PM) RAM:Kingston KVR 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RM124 + the one you already have PSU:Antec VP-550P RM199 GPU:Sapphire R7 265 Dual-X 2GB GDDR5 RM579 Total:RM902 Optional:Plextor M5S 128GB RM279  Prices are from Viewnet. There could be minimal bottlenecking,but you should see some FPS improvements on the games that you're playing. What games do you play?Do you do Photoshop frequently?  Skyrim, D3, Witcher. Using photoshop quite often. Latest version of PS is running quite slow on my XP and After Effect is not supporting XP anymore, thus planning to upgrade a bit. Moreover XP is already reached it's EOL.
