Hey sifus need your help,


I've got an old monitor that I want to use as a second monitor but only has VGA port. My graphic card doesn't have a VGA port.

The GPU only has HDMI (already using that for first monitor), Dual-link DVI-D and DisplayPort.


Which converter should I get? VGA to Dual-link DVI-D or DisplayPort?

Hi all, my current set up, built since 2012

GIGABYTE GA-H77M-D3H

Core i5 3470

KINGSTON 4GB DDR3 (1333MHz)

SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON HD 7850 256bit 2GB

LITEON 22X DVD-RW

WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB

ACBEL 550WATTS

On win7 jack sparrow due to studying last time.
Pc is getting slow..

My expectation,
To upgrade booting up speed, run Dota2 mid setting smoothly (still ok),

- Currently booting up and auto start steam took a long time.
- normal use Dota2, YouTube and Ms Office work/ share market charting

Add 4GB RAM and Samsung 860 Evo 250GB SSD and you'll start significantly faster.

Do I need to buy new ori os and install in the SSD? Or can plug and play, sorry very noob here.

You can get ori key for Windows 10 from Shopee. RM5 only

It is plug and play. Just run Samsung data migration

Any reason why you'd get a display port instead of dvi?

Thanks

Hi there, would like all you sifu's view on the my pc build below. My budget is around 4.5k to 5k, mainly will be used for gaming and also some Excel data churning work. Please let me know if can improve or optimize my setup better:

1. CPU: INTEL CORE I5 8400
2. MOBO: GIGABYTE B360M Aorus Gaming
3. RAM G.SKILL AEGIS Series 2X8GB DDR4 2666mhz
4. GPU: Gigabyte GTX1060 Gaming G1 6GB GDDR5 192Bit (1847/8000)
5. PSU: FSP HYDRO 600W (80+ Bronze/NON MODULAR)
6. CASE: SHARKOON S1000 WINDOW (mATX/ Included 2x 12cm Fans/2xUSB3.0/Support 240L/)

8. HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue 7200RPM/64MB

Price: ~~RM 4,460(with rebates etc)

Thanks ya =)

Yeah I thought about that too, but 1070Ti is about double the price of the 1060....it'll bump my build price to more than 5k XD

Thank you very much on the suggestion above. Will go for it.

May I know is 75Hertz Monitor ( LG29WK600 ) is sufficient for gaming? PUBG, FPS Game? I really love the ultra wide screen, but if this UW screen is bad for FPS gaming, maybe the only way I can is downgrade to Dell 24" 144Hertz IPS.

Would like to hear from you all again, thank you

afaik, there is no 144hz ips from dell. Only TN
Also I think no 24 inch ips with 144hz as of now. Only 27 inch

Here is a few suggestion:
Acer XB271HU
Asus PG279Q
Viewsonic XG2703-GS

All the above is 1440p 144Hz (Oc to 165Hz) 27 inch IPS

If 24 inch Dell, you have the S2417DG (TN)

The best 24 inch 144hz is the xg2402 for 900 on shopee. If you want a VA panel, myasashi is selling the Samsung c24fg73 for 1.15k.

Xg2402 has good colours and response time after configuration. You can check pc monitors review online for the colour profile.

Samsung's monitor has the best colour overall but you need to play lottery with the panels. They have bad QC.

Something affordable is the Acer ED242r; best priced so far is from Lazada.

how about if im doing video editing and FPS games like bf1 and upcoming bfV which monitor should i get budget around 1K sharp..

If video editing then u can find some IPS panel. If casual gaming then 60hz will do. Should be able to fit your price point with the spec.

Need help with my rig so far I have these:
CPU Intel i5-8400
Mobo Z370 Aorus Gaming 5
GPU ASUS Strix GTX1060 6GB

Should I get a used RAM?
