thanks for all the tips. its very helpful.
I saw the G3258, surprisingly price is much more cheaper than i5 and i7.

I'll get recommended seasonic or corsair. Thanks.

Guess I'm getting a normal i5 and a better GPU. just thinking going for Radeon or Nvidia.
It seem in same range of specs, Nvidia price is higher than Radeon? >w<

Personally, I'm quite the nVidia fanboy and don't read up much on AMD cards.

But from what I read the performance boost from R7 260X to R9 270 is quite massive and the price jump is about RM300.
From the nVidia side, the GTX 750Ti underperforms both cards and the GTX 760 is VERY expensive for the performance.

So I would suggest getting the R7 260X, the R7 265 or the R9 270, whichever fits your budget better.

Yes, agree n see price is way exp for nvidia for same range of product specs. But some comment nvidia have better drive update and game optimazation. Aiks dilemma. Haha

Hm after experiencing both AMD and nvidia cards, i'll say that my amd cards ran hotter and overclocked much worse than my nvidias did.Not to mention the power consumption, but eh performance wise is still decent apart from the heat output and the ocing.

All depends on brand and the cooler. AMD reference cooler isn't good except R9 295X2. Nvidia also have some bad generations as well. GTX470 and GTX480 are the examples.

anyway to reduce the budget? T3T
for gaming on 1600x900 resolution only ~

Switch that overpriced Refurbished Model PSU to Coolermaster V 650W Semi-modular. It is significantly cheaper for same tier PSU. You can use that extra budget for Samsung 21.5" if you want 1080p.

do you mean COOLER MASTER VS Series V650s - Modular cables?
cool, it's only RM 374, cheaper almost rm100.

thanks.

Yeah, that's the one.

THANKS LOTS MAN.
think I'll mostly go with R9 280, since it's cheaper, and add in some fan to that casing.
wait for year end for bonus only can buy, if no bonus then...
haha

thanks for all the helps, especially the tier of PSU, is really helpful.
when got budget only change my dad Aerocool Tier4 PSU.

Welcome. Also take note R9 280X and R9 290 series got price drop. You might wanna update the price list and see.

Viewnet selling R9 280X at RM929.

How come the i5 4460 so much more expensive?
This one who's prices?

COol, thanks. Will take note on the price changes.


From Swisspac, a pc shop nearby my area.
Around Pacific PC depot there.
I can see the overall prices slightly higher than PCdepot.
