Thanks Roy, any issues if going with win 8.1? Was thinking if 980 would the zotac amp suffice?

Your thoughts

[jamesrate]

also want to know which one is better!

 

[royfrosty]

Os is your pursonal choice.

As for the gpu. I would go for msi. Quieter and cooler.

All fans stop at 50deg below. 50-59deg only 1 fan will spin. And 60deg above both fans will spin.

Also note that the card is smaller and also takes up 1.5slots.

Okay thanks Roy for your input. Any others have any other recommendation?

Actually would prefer a portable casing as I will be moving up and down sg-kl Often

Any ideas, was looking at the corsair 380T

if u need to bring it around maybe consider a laptop instead ?

 

[a5un4k]

Thought about the laptop. Still prefer a desktop. My bringing around is just from one place to another that's all. no much mmovement. Price wise I get better with desktop.

Nice.
I'd crank up my HDD abit more to 4TB for more storage.
Bonus you can get Witcher 3 free with that MSI 4GB Gtx980 gfx card too!

*Edit* how much would i need to top up if i were to get a Carbide Air 240 instead?
