Advice on getting parts

[slashiroth]

Hi, need some help before getting parts.

Need mobo/cpu , gpu, psu, case and OS

Already have hdd,ssd, 2x4gb ram.


Looking at MSI mobo.
Not for ocing.
Basic usage with some gaming. Alot of multi tasking for work use.
Was recommended the r9 280. Will it be a good buy?

Budget about 1.1k there about.
Would it be possible to get cash discount even if not purchasing full rig from them? Only those parts mentioned that are needed.
Thanks alot

Thanks jiawei, just another question.
Any performance difference between the msi h87 and the b85?

Hi, where is the $440 r9 280 found? Most of the shops i see listed are $479.

Hi victorkk thanks for the offer. Let me consider about it first.

Hi, got some problem to ask. Within 2 days of setting up. 2 of my old hdd have went "faulty": detected in bios but not in device manager. The first hdd to "die" on me was the first one i used to install the os and everything and had a
the backup datas. Will it be a hardware issue that the hdd just went "dead"
Replaced with a new wd blue 1tb. But somehow as a new comp with minimal files installed. Its quite laggy, when opening a programme it may take awhile for
It to load up. Or it may hang. Any suggestions?

are you only using one HDD? If there is a failing HDD (non-booting), the overall boot time is increased. Not sure why but it happened for me.

Yes im only using one hdd at each time. Both old hdd died within first day of setting up. Hdd is spinning and detected in bios, just not in device manager.
