Whew $6xx need time to farm ehh.i cannot wait liao 4yrs since i fried my last desktop

760 is very value for money, hard to beat at that price point. At 1080p it performance very well, just Google for benchmarks. Very playable fps

Why others need firmware updates?

Some of the others require stability/performance/longevity/compatibility firmware updates. Intel and Samsung (in my perception), particularly Intel, do much more extensive in-house validation compared to the competition.

There's a reason why the 520 series was the hot-seller before the Vector/M5Pro/840Pro era, it worked fine out of the box, required no updates and makes it the ideal drive to be used when building systems for non-tech savvy people

You wanna save a bit ok lah. The performance for gaming wise is negligible. But is $20 away from the 4430 to 4570. So up to you ba.

Just get 4570 because normally if you upgrade pc for gaming you change gpu, your cpu is like a one time investment :D

Are you the type who takes good care of his stuff?

If so, get a good casing if you can, so it can last you years and also have good cooling solutions, which in turn prolongs the life of your components as well.

Good enuff to me. Take the 431 plus. Has 1 USB3 and 1 fan. Just add one more fan at the rear for abt $15. Should be good enuff.
Do note this case the PSU is mounted at the top.

5ow to me little diff. Get a good PSU. Some brands over rate themselves. Take 550.

so.....if i get a good coolermaster 500w the rig will work right?
actually what will the extra 50w do ah??.....

Get from FSP, seasonic, super flower.... Best trusted brands... CM is one of the worst. Seasonic does OEM psu for Corsair.

can consider the thermaltake psu or seasonic m12ii 550w.

That extra 50w is for allowance. How it works is that if your psu is rated at 500w, it actually provides lesser than that to your system, due to heat loss and efficiency.
