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.

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.

TP-LINK TL-WN881ND (2.4GHz)

TP-LINK TL-WDN3800 (dual band 2.4 & 5GHz)

If your router is just 2.4GHz router then getting dual band adapter won't benefit you, unless you are planning to get a stronger dual band router to pair with high speed fiber broadband connection like 50Mbps/100Mbps.

thanks alot for your advice!
mine is just a 10Mbps (Unifi VIP10 package with all the standard TM equipment that came with it), so a normal one (TP-LINK TL-WN881ND (2.4GHz)) will do, right?

Yes correct.

Hi thanks!
I just went to etech to query
They said that the seasonic model is out of stock amd unsure when to restock
They recommend super flower, forgot which model, 650w, is it good and reliable? But then they said it is hard to claim warranty as it is not vastly available in malaysia

The other thing is the casing, thermaltake, if i add on 2 fans infront, it will add up to 285 from 185

They recommended me to take another casing from alpha with 2 front fans and without any hdd cage like thermal, so is this model any good? It is 219 with all fans included

You can swap for Seasonic M12II EVO 750W or get the non-modular unit (S12II 620W).

Superflower MY unit is distributed by Cyntrix, warranty claim should be ok since they are also the main distributor for other brands like Zotac and Phanteks etc and they have a physical shop and warehouse in SetiaWalk Puchong.

I haven't tried Tecware Alpha case before but it looks quite decent, since they recommend you this case, I think it should be ok  nod.gif

Hi, what's the different between seasonic m12ii 620w and s12ii 620w? Will it affect anything? Thx

The one that they suggested is super flower leadex 650w, is it any better than the 80 bronze for the seasonic series which u suggested? Thx
