I may not be the most lao jiao DIY, but i know a combing a X2 and a P2 with the same GPU provide different results, never mind the same GPU.

Wow apparently you have far more wisdom than all respectable sites with integrity in their testing methodology so hats off to you! Also the config you 'suggested' still sounds dodgy no offence with a lack of a suggested *specific* casing and final costing but if half past six 'assistance' is ok in your book it doesn't reflect well on you ...

Yes i am waiting for links to these respectable sites. Thanks. At least you know they are respectable, so go on credit them.

specific casing = up to buyers discretion as taste comes into play rather than hardwired specs

specific psu = seasonic 430, hmmmmmm .. i thought i keep stressing that...

TS: My advise is find out from shop specific casing as this will affect your ventilation options/cooling and your expansion slots like 3.5" bays for HDDs. The choice of casing would directly affect after market HSF height and with a discrete GPU, the HDD cage may block/get in the way of larger GPUs Lastly ask the shop exactly how many (if any) 80/120mm fans are bundled in with casing when u buy from them ^^ Make sure they DO NOT slot in a VIOS/Digituz/I Cute PSU in the config as those are accidents waiting to happen even more so with the addition of a discrete GPU. Should you choose to get hardware from different shops get a fren who knows DIY to assemble for you (if you dunno) or get a shop to do it for you and factor in final costing My choice would be ask shop to upgrade
GPU to HD4670
PSU to at least CM 460
HDD to 320GB maybe?

either get 790 mobo or 4670 gfx with any mobo u like. 9400/9500 is waste $$

TS, just go for the 780/790GX amd board. Performance sure better then the weak 9400gt one.

Ic..

Ok..i m lookin at BioStar Ta790GX 128MB, it has a integrated ATI Radeon 3300 graphics.

Can i ask wat is ATI Radeon 3300 equivalent to e graphhic card in e market? (e.g 9400, 9500 or ....?)
Dun realli have to be exact..mayb juz on par or somewher near..so at least i can make a benchmark..

Pls adv..

Definitely 9400 but 9500GT a bridge to far ^^
