Nothing. The P410 today is just junk compared to what is available in the market right now.

P410?

Whats better in the market though. Im quite bored of my carbide 540

 

[royfrosty]

That p410 when you look at the wire management area you can really puke . Quite bad if you were to ask me.

What games u wanna play?z97 mobo a bit too much, b85 can le...i

Everything is plastic. HDD "scewless" mechanism keeps popping off, rubber grommets are rubbish and firm, rubbish spacing between mobo end and grommets, internal fan placement not suited with long GPU.

I had it. Sold it away. Same fate for my NZXT Sentry & Hue;

Just build a rig for fren using P410.. Wire management OK leh. Using E-ATX board somemore
But I do agreed. Now got more choices of case @ abt this price

MB & Processor : Asrock Z97 Killer, I5 4590
DDR3 Ram : Corsair vengeance pro 1600 mhz 2x4gb / G-Skill Rip Jaw X 1600 CL 9 2x4 gb
SSD: Samsung ssd 850 pro 256gb / Crucial M550 256GB / Samsung 840 Pro SSD 256 GB
Graphic : Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-x OC
PSU : Corsair cx600m 80+ bronze
PCI : Asus dual-band PCE- AC68
Casing : Corsair carbide 200R

Aim:

- Mobo budget, get a lower end or should i get 1 with build in wifi.
+ GPU budget, get a higher end
= SSD i can't decide on which is more reliable and better
= Casing wise, i tink 200R looks abit dull. any other recommendations?

on a side note, i plan to either get and build in tradepac or bizgram. which shop is more reliable and can offer a better price.

It is not that okay if you have the HDD cage still in there (note you didn't use the grommets), and use a longer flagship GPU. For the same price range, I can't justify recommending a P410 over a Define R4, unless customer really gian the beng curves of the P410

1. It doesnt mean buying a mobo with build in wifi means build in. Its actually a separate chip. Its the same as buying a mobo + Wifi card.

2. A Z97 represents a few features such as, overclocking, SLI dual graphics, Xfire dual graphics etc. Do you need those features? Else a B85 board will do just fine. Cause from what we can see, you are pairing it up with a non OC cpu.

3. ONLY go for higher end GPU if you are playing high end AAA games such as Battlefield 4, Watchdogs, Witcher, thief. Else a 270 is enough.

4. SSD are generally fast, go for brands like plextor, adata, crucial, samsung. They are fine. If you are still deciding between evo or pro, there is not much of a performance difference and you wont be able to tell the difference. Only go pro if you want the extra warranty.

5. Swap out the Corsair PSU and go for a better one. Only go for 600w if you are powering any GPU with and above r9 280/gtx770. Else a 500w will do. On the other hand go for reputable brands such as, Seasonic P/X/S/G series, FSP Aurum S and Aurum Plat series, Superflower HX golden green/king/leadex gold/leadex platinum series, Corsair HX/AX series.

6. If chassis to you is dull and you want the blink effect then go for Sharkoon BD28. If you want elegant chassis can go for chassis like Corsair Obsidian 450D.

What is the speed of your internet connection anyway? There is no point getting a AC68 if you do not have 1 Gbps internet.
