Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but if I want to buy an good external sound card for my lappy (Dell Inspiron 1420) to listen to music with, across multiple genres like rock and classical and ethnic, etc., what soundcard would you guys suggest that is not too expensive? I only can budget like < RM300 as the rest of my expenditure has to go to buying new speakers (Edifier C3) already. So I don't mind even if you rec the high end stuff, just that I don't have the funds to buy that. Thanks in advance!

anyone can help me?..i need to buy a new psu for my com 2morrow..already burnt out this morning..but i dont know anything about psu..please help me to buy a very good psu, long durability n match with my system..my system is -

- Intel PentiumD 2.80Ghz
- Intel Radeon x1300 Series 256mb DDR3
- 1Gb RAM
- MSI 945GZM3

*i dont mind to spend a lot of my money as long as i can get a reaaaaally good psu for my system..thats my budget..

Thanx in advanced..

actually a rm40 230w psu is enough but that'll be noisy
i recommend this
Xigmatek NRP-PC502 500W RM220-240

why dont take CM extreme power 460W?
is cheaper

silverstone strider 50f, rm2xx or vantec ion 2 also not bad...

Seriously..IF my spec need like 650Watt...

my spec:
intel i7 920
Asus P6T
6GB DDR3 Ram (3X2GB)
MSI GTX275
250GB 7200RPM SATA HDD
1 DVD-RW

that depends on what extras you mean,if it means new graphic cards then that's probably not needed as they are bcoming more and more power efficient

Just like wan ngam ngam fit it or need some extra watt

if u say like that, people will recommend those 1000W monster PSUs... some of which will cost more than ur whole pc... hmm, anyway, i'd suggest vantec ion2 400W (RM100) or silverstone ST400 (RM170). more than enough for ur rig, and u wont be having probs with minor upgrades in the future

honestly, i dunno much about those capacitor aging and stuff, but i'd say 550W true power should be enough for ur rig. get the silverstone st56f, should be enough. how much is ur budget anyway?

This spec is around Rm4.6k what...Will TX650 better? i'll be overclock to 4ghz and overclock my g.card

550w should be more than enough. st56f around rm300.
get xigmatek 650w at 370 if you worry too much.

i prefer tx650...im intrested with the 5years warrenty

if u're already in love with that psu, then by all means, just get it. it's a pretty good lookin psu, and it's from corsair, and if i have extra cash to burn, i would've bought it as well.

question:

psu, better to get xigmatek brand is it?

casing, better to get cooler master brand is it?

Its all depends on requirement and budgets

ugh, for gaming purposes then?

Both PSU and Casing doesn't help improve anything for gaming.

PSU = support other hardware PC
Casing = better airflow, heat

For gaming purpose = Proc, Ram, GC
