Can you check the PSU model?

Prebuilt desktop normally comes with OEM PSU which is not suitable for upgrade.

Do u mean to upgrade the Psu? I do not plan to upgrade the Psu only graphic card I want to upgrade. Is it ok?

I know you want to upgrade GPU only but you need to know if your current PSU can support dedicated GPU or not before buying the GPU, if cannot support, then you need to buy a new PSU to run the GPU.

Terence it is so good to have your prompt response.. How do I know the GPU is supported by the PSU?

Open the case, snap a picture of the PSU (the details of PSU), then post it here if you don't know how to identify whether it can support dedicated GPU or not, I will take a look and let you know which GPU is supported after this.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 775

bro can the fsp hexa 550w support the 380?

Intel Core i7 6700 - RM 1294
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Corsair 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 336
Sapphire R9 390 8GB GDDR5 Nitro - RM 1549
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 209
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215
Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 185

Total: RM 4554 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Theoretically can, FSP Hexa+ 550W has 2 12V rails with 18A output from each rail which can provide max of 432W (36A x 12V), if you want to switch over to low end PSU, then try not to put heavy load on it.

With that new i5 skylake cpu and only 1 hdd with 2 case fans the 432w true power should be enough right for all the components.

hi, thanks for ur suggestion, do i need to add additional fan to thermaltake? as it stated it has optional fan slot

That's why I said theoretically can, but it is a low end PSU after all, so don't stress it too much to reduce failure rate.

You can add more casing fans if you want, just have to make sure you are getting the correct size (120mm/140mm etc.).

For example, add 2 casing fans at front as intake.

may i know is there any different between i5 and i7 for my usage?
if doesn't, i prefer to have a cheaper option, what is ur opinion? thanks

Some rendering software and importing RAW images into PS will take advantage of the hyperthreading technology of i7 which reduce the time needed to finish the operation, changing to i5 will increase the time needed mostly, if you are ok with it then i5 is a great choice to save some money.

Hi, I need suggestion to upgrade my pc, currently using

Intel i3-2100
Gigabyte H67MA-USB3 B3
Asus r7 260x
Cooler Master Elite 550 ver 2
4gb ram ddr3
maxtor 160gb HDD
WD 1tb HDD
WD 2tb HDD

I am planning to upgrade the processor, motherboard and ram. But I am not sure how, for processor, currently considering amd fx 6350, A10 7850, i3 6100 or 15 6500. I dont have much requirement in gaming, as most of the time i enjoy RPG games, which doesn't requires high end graphic, but i do like smooth experience, my HDD takes 3 seconds to load every once in a while when i click in again, which I am not sure what the problems is.

So, every sifu please give me opinion on the upgrade of processor and motherboard, thank you

noob question, is there some kind of Y cable and plug those 2x 12V @ 18A rail into 1x output as parallel? so maybe it will become 12V @ 36A?

Seasonic M12II EVO 620W - RM 363
Seasonic S12II-620 620W - RM 303
Are these basically the same PSU?
with RM60 difference?

the difference i can spot are below, dont think it gives much value added
Seems like the modula EVO version has:
http://www.lelong.com.my/seasonic-m12ii-62...6-12-Sale-P.htm
- modular
- Gold plated terminals

Seems like the non EVO, non modular version has:
http://www.lelong.com.my/seasonic-s12ii-62...6-12-Sale-P.htm
- non-modular cables
- super high efficiency upto 87%
- double forward converter design
- soft mount rubber cushions
- all in one cable design
- patent easy swap connectors

New Skylake CPU and mobo are recommended to run DDR4 RAM which means you gonna need to change RAM too if you were to choose Skylake platform which is a better choice than the aged AMD platform for now.

What's your budget?
