Comments of rig

[zhan88]

My budget is below $800 preferred, and usage for watching videos and some light gaming (eg dota2). Any comments for the below rig?

CPU + mobo: Asrock H81M-HDS + i5 4460 (337)
Ram: 8gb kingston DDR3 valueram (58)
HDD: toshiba 1tb (65)
Internal DVD-RW: LG 24X DVD-RW (25)
*GPU: Zotac GTX 730 Ti (105)
PSU: (i think it is included with the casing? unsure)
Casing: Coolermaster 311 (59)
*SSD: ADATA SP550 120GB Sata3 (69)
Total: 727

Side question: is WD or toshiba HDD more reliable?

another question, i am intending to purchase it at SLS. should I wait for the IT show period to purchase at SLS so it will be cheaper?

At the very most, certain brand of ssd may have discounts.

Psu is not included.

I think dvd drive is not needed now adays. I bought it only use it less than 5 times..

If you can work for some extra cash I think you should, up the gpu abit so next time play some other games can still tahan

You can swap the CM 311 for Armageddon Nanotron from Lazada @ $29.90 (On sales now)

You can also get a Palit GTX750TI StormX dual for $175 from lazada @ $175 (before coupon discount).

After coupon discount will cost you less than $165.

Pay $60+ more and you get 2.5 times more the performance of GTX730TI.

IT show WILL NOT affect the price of SLS. It is also rare for IT show to sell stuff cheaper than SLS. Just don't wait for IT show.

Can consider FSP Hexa 450w for your psu at $58....

If you want to lower the price of your rig even more, can consider Asrock H81M-HDS + i3 4160 (238) instead of the i5 CPU, since you are only watching video and light gaming.

IT show is pure bull crap... a marketing gimmick unless u have done your research.

hi all! thanks for the advises... had decided on a Palit Geforce GTX750 Ti StormX Dual 2GB GDDR5. bought it from lazada with the coupon code this morning shall wait for it to arrive before going to SLS to purchase and assemble the rest!

 

[zhan88]

can I check if SDD is necessary or worth the buy?

 

[JihJing]

yes. it is best buy for your pc today. if you dont have many softwares, just buy 120gb ssd and get a 1tb hdd.
