QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 17 2016, 04:29 PM) Both monitors listed by me aren't GSync ready, the two you listed above are also not available in Malaysia either. The cheapest GSync monitor here is Acer Predator XB241H (around 1.9k), it doesn't worth the money anymore after Dell S2417DG entered our market at almost similar price tag (around 2k) but with a higher resolution (1440p instead of 1080p). Got any recommendation for Monitor 27" below 1500?  Edit : Its important to look nice... meaning aesthetically pleasing... This post has been edited by MeToo: Nov 17 2016, 04:55 PM

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 17 2016, 05:12 PM) RX480 8GB is basically the only card that you can look for currently, Fury/Fury X is slightly faster than RX480 but it is more expensive. Maximum size that I would go for 1080p is 24", 1080p on 27" is just too "pixelated" for me due to its low PPI value. 1440p packs almost the twice of the pixel counts of 1080p, this certainly brings more workspace to your desktop and most of the people will love it if they multitask a lot (side by side window viewing etc.), but yea, frame rates in games will be lower in this case if compare natively with 1080p  I definitely wanna go 27".... once you go big, you dont look back anymore. Even 1440p... can downgrade to 1080p if framerate is important in some games ya? So far I have been surviving with 1080p on 27"...

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 17 2016, 05:59 PM) Not recommended to run 1080p on 1440p (or any downscale), the images will look blurry and spoil your gaming mood sometimes. Just turn down the settings like AA to none (1440p doesn't need too much AA TBH due to high pixel counts) to achieve better frame rates. Hmm.. ok ok .... So any monitor for me ah.. under 1500... prefer sexy looking ones.. cause my room is ID-ed and sexy looking  Edit : Abit regret spent RM425 on the Evo850... if not maybe can up GPU to 1070 and get a more decent monitor This post has been edited by MeToo: Nov 17 2016, 06:03 PM

QUOTE(NLTR @ Nov 18 2016, 09:55 AM) Hi sifu terence_nwb, Wanna ask, if i purchased a SSD, does it come along with SATA cable? Or i need to buy it separately? 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) This post has been edited by MeToo: Nov 18 2016, 10:18 AM

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 18 2016, 11:19 AM) 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...

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 21 2016, 04:26 PM) You can do the same thing (get the casing + PSU combo) and get a 500GB HDD instead of 1TB HDD (500GB HDD will be slightly slower than 1TB due to lower RPM). HDD 7200 v 5400 should be same same gua... Buy 2TB Blue also 5400 nia...
