Dear All,
My GPU burnt out recently, I dont really game anymore. but my screen resolution is a bit sucky after taking out my GPU. My plan is to get a GPU + SSD upgrade. Can recommend anything? more to using tools like photoshop, and watching HD videos/movies nia nowadays.
Budget below RM1k. my current build (yeah, some over what i need, that time i was richer)
Intel Core i5 4460
Asrock B85 Killer
G.SKill 16GB X2 DDR3
Powercolor R9 280X (KO last month)
WD Blue 500MB
Coolermaster V750

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Apr 13 2017, 08:46 AM) Specs is fine, RX480 runs hotter than GTX1060 FYI but that's still within safe range (just FYI). Have you tried to update the driver of the iGPU? i5 4460 comes with HD4600 which shouldn't give you any problem when running 1080p (or even 1440p) monitor. Not worth to spend RM 150++ for GT710 which is even weaker than the iGPU  As for SSD, 240GB enough? Your budget can go for 500GB if you want  so far have yet to update my iGPU, but in the future i would want to use it for my 40" TV, so still possible? was considering a cheap 950 or 960. RM300-500 can get kua? for SSD, erm, which brand to go for? i know my mobo cant take M.2, a dealer suggested pioneer  last time i was thinking it was always intel, samsung or i cannot remember the other one, was popular for CD-RW. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Apr 13 2017, 09:57 AM) 40" 1080p TV? If yes then no problem, your mobo can output 4K @24Hz or 1440p @60Hz via HDMI so that's plenty to spare yet. Since you don't game anymore, why would you spend the extra money for an used 950 or 960? I would rather spend the money to get a larger size SSD anytime. Pioneer SSD is entry level SSD, you can consider getting the Samsung 850 EVO/Transcend 370/Corsair Force LE etc. if you prefer something that performs better out of the box. SSD for my OS, other brands beside samsung? entry level will do cos I dont think I can feel the difference.Pioneer is alright? thinking get one SSD, another 1TB hdd if not getting GPU. nah dont wanna get 2nd hand, i have trust issue with ppl nowadays, kena bitten too many times. pay a bit more to get new + warranty better. thanks for the tv output, appreciate it a lot. |
