The spec looks fine. You can switch it to R9 270X version at RM629 if adding RM40 is not an issue.

Will consider that
How about the motherboard ?
Is there any huge difference between H81M-VG4 with B85M-HDS which price is RM239 ?

Ahh thanks for the link

Forget to mention, is there any usb 3.0 port in front of the casing ?
Yet, my friend monitor is using vga & hdmi port, so my friend need to buy the dvi to hdmi connector in order to connect the monitor ?

yup, there's one usb 3.0 at the front i/o panel . No need, just use the hdmi port at the gpu and connect straight to the monitor using hdmi cable.

That better than don't have usb 3.0 port tongue.gif
But also can use dvi to hdmi right ? Because my friend his previous desktop don't have hdmi port, so he buy dvi to hdmi connector in order to plug in the monitor

Alright thanks for the help

It is better to get B85M-HDS since it has connector for USB 3.0 for front i/o. USB 3.0 on H81M-VG4 is only available at rear i/o.

But alfiejr said h81m got usb 3.0 port at the front of the casing
