haha coz all the while i'm using an extension wire from the back so I thought if there isn't any audio one then I'll just leave it as it is lol. Anyway thanks for your suggestions and I've picked the H97 motherboard in the end.

By the way the usb panel got a removable 3.5" space for the HDD where you can remove it and add on another USB panel for 3.5" or floppy disk. There are both 3.5" and 5.25" panel from viewnet with different amount of USB port. Learnt something new today

Yup, like the taobao link I posted, there's both diskete and optical bay panel. I bought mine for diskete bay from taobao something under RM30/40 IIRC.

Its called 光驱 (5.25) or 软驱 (3.5).

thanks for the input.
Is it possible to go for a cheaper psu & gpu? any other options?
or is this the minimum req.

If you want cheaper PSU and GPU then you will have to lower down the settings in game, even the current suggestion by Minecrafter will only be playable with medium settings in AC: Unity.

MSI Tiger GTX960 2GB GDDR5 - RM 850
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199

Both items are from Viewnet.

I see. Thank you kind sir.

hello, i wanted to build a pc( budget gaming pc)
i already made list and choice,,and found price at affordable range.. and i found pricelist at jayacom very nice but is it ok to buy there and will i get cheaper price to buy all pc components

Are you just going to be playing Dota 2?Cause i think the CPU and GPU is already enough for it.

Mind telling us your budget and the list you've in mind?

Most of the prices there are cheaper compared to other shops because even if you add in 6% tax,still cheaper. Service wise,idk.

i think i'm expecting for a GT750 TI/non-TI build, but how much would it cost additionally for a R9 280/270 or even R7 26x build which needs a better PSU than GT750 TI build? and, is it worth the upgrade (higher game setting, more future proofing etc.)?
extra questions:
is SSHD worth the +100 cost over HDD?
should i add discrete sound card? i'm not sure if its necessary for gaming or not. if yes, can i fit GPU+wifi card+sound card in a mATX mobo?

thanks in advance !

Sifu, izzit ok I take PSU Seasonic S 1211 bronze instead of M series Bronze because they dont have M series...

Any diff major diff between this 2 series?

One isn't modular.

Hi, first timer here =)

Need sifu's advice to upgrade my current pc.
I'm just looking to replace casing and CPU cooler at the moment, since the temperature of my current system is pretty hot (and noisy cpu stock fan).



[Budget]
Around RM350 for both casing and CPU cooler.

[Personal preferences]
I was thinking of getting this 2 item.

Cooler Master Hyper 212X
Cooler Master Elite 430

But since i'm totally noob here, was wondering if the cooler's size will fit the casing, really need sifu's help.
I'm really interested on the cooler since it have long fan life expectancy, so can be used for several years.
So if the casing wont fit the cooler, appreciate if sifus can recommend other casing (any brand with good cooling, preferred mid tower) or other cooler that have good cooling and low noise.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Mostly all of the current hardwares.

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-890 GPA-UD3H
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955
RAM: Corsair Value Ram 2GB x2
HDD: WD Green Caviar 2TB
ODD: Asus DVD Rom
PSU: Acbel 450W
GPU: MSI Radeon HD5450

[Purpose]
Internet browsing, watch movies/anime, online gaming, some not really heavy graphic old games.

[Monitor resolution]
Samsung S19A100 - 1280x768

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
MS Offices, Adobes (Photoshop/Ilustrator)...and other basic pc stuff.
I'm just some normal pc user, not graphic/web designer or something like that, not doing game Mod.


And got any recommendation for good/reliable and cheap SSD? Budget below RM300.
Was thinking to add 1, since pc becoming slower eventhough using winXP only. Formatting wont help much.
Will upgrade to win7 once have SSD.

Thanks in advance
