[Monitor resolution] NA

[Games & softwares that use frequently] chrome,thunder,photoshop, lightroom

[Personal preferences] intel, at least 8gb ram, itx tower (bitfenix prodigy?)

[Location] KL

can I reuse my PSU CM extreme power plus 500w and GPU 9600GT by the way? =p
*
Intel Core i5 4440 - RM569
Asrock B85M Pro4 - RM279
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM239
Plextor M5S 128GB SSD - RM279
Bitfenix Prodigy Casing - RM329
Lite-On 24x DVDRW - RM59

Total - RM1754 (prices are from Viewnet)

You can reuse back the PSU, but I will recommend to change if possible. Can get FSP Hexa 500W, RM149.

Your GC also can be reused, but do note that it does not support any of the latest DX11 titles. The IGP (integrated graphics) on the CPU will support DX11 titles, albeit it is weaker in overall performance compared to the 9600 GT. If you don't really game, then should be no issues on this.

Isn't the prodigy (not M) a mini-itx casing? asrock b85m pro4 can fit in?
*
My bad, I meant Prodigy M. Price should be roughly the same. I suggested a m-ATX board since it has better expandability options in future.

Someone need to recommend Corsair Graphite 230T. Price wise can get at rm289. Check the review on tweaktown, pretty impressive. Superb air flow, with front fan directly blow to GPU.

@Minecrafter, yes... but eventually pc to bring over to Singapore, so will be better to juz grab in JB...
BTW, it's much different to have a SSD?? it seem just a storage to me @@ (sorry as I'm quite IT idiot)  cry.gif 
will improve processing time??

If you've not tried SSD before, go for one if your budget allows. You won't regret it. Word of caution, once you go SSD, you'll never go back to regular HDD again. brows.gif

hi, if plextor m6s would it be a lot better? cause price differ a bit. and hows kingston brand and crosair brand ssd? their price almost same, oso rm300+
*
Technically, M6S should be superior, since it is meant to be a successor to the M5S anyway. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7896/plextor...-256gb-review/5

Kingston HyperX 3K series is also fine. Corsair, I don't usually recommend, as Corsair did not do a very good job in the customization of the firmware on their Sandforce based drives on their earlier series (many years back). They have likely improved over the years now. Corsair makes great products by the way. Of all, I would personally stand by the reliability of Intel based drives. That is my personal recommendation.

so what would be the best ssd if i wanna buy a ssd around rm3++ budget.

Yes, and they have good support in terms of warranty. Last time I RMA-ed (via Intel directly) my board and got a replacement within a week. Yes, it is that fast, once you've cleared all their troubleshooting etc.

Bro you've been asking about GPUs and SSDs since V4. Did you buy the 290 yet?
*
Sometimes people just need to take the leap of faith. Endless questioning on which is faster is never ever going to justify the actual user experience. Basically, I doubt if one could actually feel the difference, on top of what the numbers on the chart shows. biggrin.gif If one has never used a SSD before, even going for the el-cheapo Kingston V300 is going to be like miles faster than whatever they've ever used before. nod.gif

120GB one? biggrin.gif Seriously, I would suggest not upgrading your SSD, unless maybe you're considering going for higher capacity only. You would unlikely feel the difference in doing so.

raven, how come i look at the viewnet pricelist, got two types evo, one with 3y warranty another one with desktop kit? whats the use of the kit?
*
Desktop kit is with the 3.5" to 2.5" adapter, cable and screws. Seems like they have 2 options, one with, another without (just drive only). Usually Intel ones come with desktop kit by default.

got use or not? why 3.5 instead of 2.5?
*
SSD are typically 2.5" based drives. Older casings may not have proper mountings for 2.5" drives, so the 3.5" adapter may come in handy there.

No issues with modern casings now, as they usually come with a dedicated 2.5" mounting point.

Correct. But to replace the front two fans with JetFlos is brilliant. Tons of airflow.

But would Jetflos running at full rev be noisy?
