Hi guys, is it possible if I buy a good CPU, MOBO, and PSU first, and continue using my old video card. And then upgrade to a better video card in d future?

My dino age MOBO spoiled, and I don't think I want to use my dino age processor and PSU.

What's left that still ok-ish to use now is

Old Sapphire hd6670 gddr5
Don't know what brand old 2GB Ram
Old WD 160GB SATA II

Mainly for normal surfing, working, and watch video. Gaming would be FIFA16, and CS only for now, and maybe a more demanding first person shooter game in d future when I am not that busy.

Can, may I know your budget for the new parts?

around 1-1.5k for processor, mobo, and PSU. maybe a new piece of ram too.

My total budget would be around 3k full set excluding monitor. But i dont think i need a new video card so soon. Just wanted to replace my spoiled mobo, and to be able to play fifa16 and cs only. I assume my video card can support fifa16 right?

If you want to reuse your current RAM, you need to go with Haswell (4th gen), assuming it's DDR3 1333MHz/1600MHz, make sure it is compatible with new RAM, if not compatible, new 8GB RAM is enough for now.

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 769
MSI B85M-E45 - RM 313
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 199
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199

Total: RM 1480 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Hi Terence, thank you for the suggestion.

I think I'll just get the new 8gb ram since old ram is very old, don't think it will last long. So its ok to use my old video card first, and upgrade to a much better one later right.

Just noticed that viewnet is located at KL, I'm in Malacca, that's mean I need to order from their shop? Do they help the customer to assemble and install the os?

Sigh, do any of the mentioned shop in this thread do postage?

Never assemble a pc, install os and other necessary software before.

Edited: just noticed there is thundermatch available in melaka, although their stocks may not be as much as those in KL.
