Im planning to SLI 980 soon hehehe. It looks like I need to get more cash to get better mobo   

Graphic Card with rm 800?

I'm using a HP Prebuild computer, looking to change the PSU, since my PSU don't have a 6 pin PCI power cable
Intel Core i5 3470
Internal 300W (100V-240V)
Should 500 Watts PSU enough for r9 280? Do recommend as well. Thanks a bunch

I'm not sure.. but here's the full detail specs link.

Hi TristanX, I'm looking to build a CPU on a similar budget and purpose as well (gaming + multimedia work). My initial budget is RM3K (with monitor), and hoping the build will last for about 3-4 years before I need to change my graphic card to play more graphically advance games without lagging/spiking.

Would you recommend investing the extra RM500 and follow the CPU build as above? Or is there a more affordable build for RM3K with monitor? To be more specific, which part of the computer should I budget on and which part I should invest more (eg: graphic card vs RAM, etc).

Thanks in advance! 

tq for the suggestion
is there anything i can downgrade a bit
the graphics card seems bit expensive..is it that worth it?
can run ac unity/ps4 graphics game smoothly??

Anyone can recommend me a graphics card for RM300 ?

Intel Pentium G620, 8gigs ram, using the onboard gpu, Acbel E2 400W psu.

Hi thanks sir!!

How do you justify the processor unit? Would it be compatible to support future upgrades?

The processor. What i wanted to ask is will this processor be able to support future upgrades such as better GPU and more RAMs?

Well you can quote the monitors as well. thanks!
