thx a lot bro.

how much for a ssd 120gb instead? i wanna to compare price to c if wanna get 120 or 240gb ssd.

for wd, what is the diff between green blue n black?

 

[Jian19]

If wan 128gb ssd get Plextor m5s 128gb @ $118

Green (slower)
Blue (fast)
Black (fastest and longer warranty)

Normally we just recommend blue since it's more all round in performance

If u wanna get 240gb ssd, i suggest get frm amazon. Crucial m500 240gb ssd going for us$109.99.

As for wd, green is for lower power consumption, blue is for consumer grade and black is for higher lvl. U use blue good liao.

Currently, all this items has been decided and cfm.

OS: Window7 64bit Home
SSD: Crucial M500 240gb
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
Ram: GSkill Ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4GB
DVD: Samsung 24x DRDRW
CPU: i5-4570.

Still have not decide wat mobo, case, gpu, psu to get.


mobo:
Asrock b85 killer
MSI B85-G43 Gaming

whats the diff between this 2? which one is better?

 

[annoymous]

will suggest u get asrock mobos over msi

 

[shadow84]

For gpu, if gonna play Dota2 lvl of games, then 760 will do, in the event that you may wanna play higher end games till ultra only. Though it may not last long for next gen.

For psu, if you can get superflower hx600w, then it would be good. If not seasonic S12G 550w or G550w will do.

For case, take your mobo into consideration. Some cases only support up to matx mobo. Both that you are considering are atx mobo. Can try fractal design arc midi r2, define r4, nzxt h440, h230, corsair 450D, corsair air 540, etc...

As for mobo, both comes with killer ethernet which may be useful for your dota2 gaming. Just download both manuals and see the layout/position of the fan headers, usb headers, amount of sata headers, amt of pci-e vs pci slots given.

Left PSU, GPU and casing.

PSU i am deciding on which seasonic to get, should i get 550w or 650w?

Casing, current only interested in corsair 450d.
