Overprice!
Can get around RM605.
Try Precess @ BJ.
Or if you're from Butterworth, drop me a PM I tell you where to go.
Surely not PC Depot. tongue.gif

pc depot selling at rm600. can mix and match from different stores and ask the shop guy to assemble ? icon_idea.gif

Bro, from the prices i see above, everything seems to be overpriced.
The GC is seriously overpriced IMHO. You could get a 2nd hand 4870 for that price.
And the Caviar Greens are actually 5,400rpm drives as mentioned by Lohwenli in our previous TT. If you're planning on using that as a boot drive, i'd say avoid it. Go for a Caviar Blue or Black instead. Or the WD6400AAKS is not bad too.
For the price of the extreme power, i think you'd better drop that and get an Enermax FMA II 535w instead. It might be 100w less than the xtreme, but there's a difference in quality between the 2. The CMs are good for their real powers, but the extremes are only good for the 460w model.

Below are the prices and spec you should expect:
E8400:                    RM600
P5Q-Pro:                  RM490
4gb of DDR2 800:    RM150
WD640AAKS:          RM225
Gainward 4850GS:  RM640
Casing, PSU you might want to get them from GZ maybe. Get a CM690 and also an Enermax FMA II 535w
For cooling: The Xigmatek is just fine.

ok bro.Thanks for the heads up on the HDD. notworthy.gif might get CM Real Power 550w / Corsair.is it enough if i want to run Crossfire ? I've trawled though reviews and the Asus/Powercolor/Gainward HD4850 have cooling issues with the reference coolers.
