Budget: RM1.5k

Purpose: Casual gaming, movie download, illustrator (Steam games, assuming high quality?)

Hardwares that will be re-use Just recently changed PSU. HDD, DVD, casing will reuse.

Monitor resolution:1080p (Samsung 22.3inch)

Games & softwares that use frequently: Illustrator, latest games.

Current Rig
Leadtek GTX650Ti BOOST 2GD5 O.C
Intel E3-1230v3
Asrock B85M-HDS

Issue
- Everytime I play some high details or performance game, it will blackout and I need to force restart. Heroes of Newerth is fine, no idea why
- Takes time to load my system. Have plans on getting a SSD to run my system
- PC easily get attack by virus, need a good anti-virus system too
- Need at least 8 USB port on MOBO. More USB3.0 the better

Remark
- I consider this a major overhaul as my some part of the system lasted for almost 3-4 years already
- If budget exceed a little is fine but not too much as I don't really intend on spending that much. The lesser the better
- If parts can get cheaper from lazada or other websites, pls let me know too
- Have plans to change to another casing as CM690 is too bulky and space taking
- Should I go for high spec i3 or mid range i5?
- Any recommendations for bigger screen monitor? Or can I go for 32inch LED TV instead?

i7 proc, gtx1060 and 240 ssd?

But my rig can match these proc and gpu? worried the plug different.

Oh okok. Sorry didn't understand your sentence earlier. How much do I need for an overhaul?

Hi, need recommendation for GPU as mentioned by few forumer, my jerky image is caused by GPU.

CURRENT: Leadtek GTX650Ti BOOST 2GD5 O.C.

BUDGET: RM400 or less would be great. Looking for brand new cards that currently available in the market.

PURPOSE: Gaming, AI, graphic design.

QUESTION: Is AMD now better than Nvidia? Previously I was using AMD and it did not have much of a problem. Have no preference on which side, as long as it serves me well and does not get overheat. No plans on OC it also, just using it as stock GPU.

CURRENT MOBO AND PROC: Intel E3-1230v3 | Asrock B85M-HDS

What's the difference between GTX750TI and GTX1050? Both are below RM500?

One last question. Is GTX1050 can support latest games like BF1, Fifa, COD:IW?

Most probably I will use mid settings for gaming. Too high settings/resolutions will make me dizzy.

Many thanks for the info! I guess I will get it from Lazada.

EDIT: Sorry, another question. What's the difference between PALIT GeForce® GTX 1050 StormX AND ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1050 Mini 2G?

I noticed ZOTAC got mini 2g. Meaning the card is slight smaller in size or? StormX I assume is somewhat their name for the card?

Alright, many thanks.

Can anyone recommend me any GPU as replacement for my 650TI Boost? I think my GPU officially died. I'm okay even if is getting the same card.

Budget not much, if can be done within RM400 that would be best. Don't mind on second hand also too as long as is working condition without issue.

Thanks for the recommendations. Is there any cards from AMD? I don't mind using AMD or Nvidia though. I believed the heating problem on AMD is pretty much solved years ago right?

What about ASUS GT730-FML 2GB DDR3? Is that downgrade from my GTX650 TI Boost?

If that's the case, would it be wise for me to send my card for repair instead? It won't cost that much compare to buying a new GPU right?

R7 265 sapphire dual x should be an upgrade right? Since you mentioned R7 260X.
