Hi sifu terence_nwb

Thanks for the reply. Based on your recommendation, that it means I need to get a ATX motherboard or a ATX casing in order for me to fit a dedicated GPU? Thanks

Seperately.

Heck the 500 bucks motherboard i bought only comes with 2 sata cable.... damn cheapskate

Alternatively u can buy a m.2 SSD and slot direct into your mobo (if supported by the mobo)

Thanks for reply, My MOBO cant support la cos already 7 years old. The power cable used to power HDD same with SSD right?

yeah bro, if someone get an ODD for his/her rig, sure need to get another SATA for the SSD

If you want fast response time then VA and IPS panel both are out of your choice already, TN is the only option left, BenQ GL2460HM and Dell SE2417HG both having similar response time (2ms).

No, it's about budget constraint, mATX/mITX can fit dedicated GPU just fine

Thanks for the info. That good that I can upgrade later to a dedicated GPU later when I got the fund to buy a good GPU

If you plan to get a high end GPU in the future, please consider swapping the current selected PSU to a better one so you don't have to upgrade the PSU next time when you do the GPU upgrade.

This is good point... I always go overboard with PSU... like for the rig u recommended me, I got myself an EVGA Supernova G2 650w gold just so i can maintain it at medium load and the fan wont run... so it'll be quiet...

Yes. Power cable will be the same.

Hi sifu terence_nwb,
Do you have any recommendation on the PSU? The dedicated GPU that I looking to buy is GTX1060. Thanks

Thanks

Get the Corsair VS550/FSP Hexa+ 550W if you don't plan to fork out too much money for it, else you can go for a decent one priced > RM 350+.

Bear in mind that some CPU demanding games will require a more powerful CPU to fully unleash the performance of GTX1060, i3 will work fine (don't worry) but it might hold back the performance of the card in some games.

Thanks again for your reply

Thanks for the reply, does asus pg248q available here?

No

Sad jor lor.... wanted a new sexy monitor...

It is the usual 1080p 60Hz IPS, 1.1k is quite expensive considering the new ViewSonic VX3209-2K only costs 1.2k with much larger screen size and 1440p

32" for that price cheap cheap cheaappp...

But hor... 10ms...

Non-gaming grade IPS type panel is always like this, my Dell U2417H is on 8ms response time, well I use it for gaming too sometimes, doesn't look too bad though, my eyes aren't that powerful enough to differentiate between 1ms and 8ms yet
