Hey sifus, just wanna ask if these items i upgrade is good or any better suggestions?

This is my current specs
i5-2400 @ 3.10GHz
8GB Ram
500 GB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6700 GC
MB Asrock B61 H61M S

Planning to upgrade on

Liteon 900S 256GB
Seasonic S12II 620W
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Graphic card not sure which to choose, any suggestion? Budget around 900~1200 Thanks
Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X 3GB GDDR5
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 280X 3GB GDDR5
MSI R9 290 GAMING 4G 4096MB GDDR5

Good day all (and Happy April Fool's Day),

This might be my last update for a while, I gotta start work on building the system soon.
So my final build is like this:

Intel i7-4790 (used) - RM850
Hyper 412 (got it quite cheap) - RM140
MSI Z97 Krait Edition SLI - RM460
Kingston Hyper Fury (White) 8gb x 1 - RM230
Seagate 1Tb. HDD - RM180
Xigmatek VECTOR 650W -RM249
Gainward GTX-970 Phantom 4gb (used) - RM1,000
Dell U2414H (used) - RM680
Phanteks Enthoo Pro (White) - RM335

Grand total = RM4,124

A bit over my initial budget or RM4,000 but I think that this is a good system. As per previous advice, the weak link might be the PSU, but from the research I've done, this would be enough for now, but if I add another GTX-970, it might not suffice.

Oh well, I'm looking at the Seasonic M12II 750W now...

RM600?You'll have to settle for an i3 + H81 motherboard..unless you go for second hand option.

The i5s and i3s will cry for help if you play BF4 on a large multiplayer map.

FYI,the i3s..cannot run DA:I.. I'd suggest you to save more money.
Yes,PSU is enough for single card,watts-wise,but quality is not that good.
He wants to SLI in the future.Read la next time.

Intel i5-4450 -RM699
Asrock B85M-HDS RM269
Palit GTX750 OC  or SAPPHIRE R7 260X RM479/RM459
Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM219
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM184
FSP HEXA+ 550w RM179
Thermaltake Versa H25 RM129

RM2158/2138

if budget so tight, swap with asrock H81M-HG4 RM199

Is graphic card necessary for HD movie viewing? if possible want to cut off the graphic card..27 inch monitor is alil bit oversize...a good 24 inch maybe?

Dear Sifus,

May i know Asrock H97 Pro4 and Asus H97-PRO GAMER which is better? As Asrock H97 Pro4 sold out on the shop that i wish to buy from. I need to wait about 2-3 weeks. Or, any suggestion on the motherboard that I can use with GTX 970.

Thank you.

dear sifu can i know if i buy a gaming rig in viewnet,can i get the thing i list out and ask them to build for me?
(Processor) Core i5-4460
(Motherboard) Asrock H81M-VG4 motherboard
(Ram) Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1
(Graphic card) Sapphire R7 265 2GB DDR5 Dual-X
(Hard disc) Toshiba 500GB hard disk
(Power supply) Antec VP500 power supply
(Fan) Additional 12cm fan
(Casing)Thermaltake Versa H25 case

i scare they can't build a gaming rig because don't have certain hardware i list out @@

Hi, I just assembled my rig mostly as per you guys recommended previouslyand i even managed to get some pre-gst price from a dealer i found....

Xeon 1231 v3
Kingston Hyper Fury 4gb x 2
Regular 1tb HDD
ASRock h97m-itx
Leadtek GTX970
Thermaltake SmartSE PSU 630w
Thermaltake Core v1 case

Saw some comments here that the Xeon runs quite hot, any recommendation on cooler with height < 140mm

Is the mobo good enough?

@TristanX

O.o?

WOw thanks! Noob question, just checked the viewnet price list. Why is i5 CPU preferred over the AMD FX CPU for gaming? Seems like at the same price, the FX series has more speed, core, and cache.

Hi my friend already help me reply, currently i am using R9 290, an hdd 1tb, an ssd, seasonic s12ii 620w, so i just need a new cpu+ mb+ram, casing i think i search myself so the budget allocate to these 3 can already. If possible can last longer the better so i dont need to change so frequently.

Hi sifu here, I'm here to ask for suggestion.

As my rig here, I'm having

Intel i5 4570, MSI B85M, 4GB DDR3, Sapphire HD 7850 1GB GDDR5, WD 1TB SATA3, CM GTX 600W, AOC e943Swn

And now my problem is, the motherboard and PSU. The MSI motherboard having problem since I used the build in graphic while my GC is going for warranty. After that I took the motherboard for warranty for 3 times but they did not fix the motherboard problem. While my motherboard was on warranty, I'm using a borrowed laptop. And when I gave up the motherboard, I realized my PSU fan was broken, but it still function well.

In conclusion, I have a half broken motherboard and broken PSU. My motherboard can't power on using my PSU. What option did I have now? Buy a new PSU and motherboard? That was so waste of money, any better suggestion? I'm stuck with these stuff lol
