I disagree. Even though the GTX 750 is more powerful than the R7 250X, the GTX 750 can only support 3 monitors at most while the R7 250X Flex can support up to 4 monitors in a normal configuration and 6 monitors if a MST Hub is used. Since this is primarily a stock trading rig, I believe that multi-monitor support should prioritized over gaming needs for this rig.


Hmm.. i think i will only be using 3 monitors maximum at this point in time. WOuld a GTX 750 suit me better then? thanks!

You cant just trasnfer OS from com to com like thumbdrive.

You can. If the standby has exactly the same specs as the original. (not sure if windows activation will kick in but other than that, it'll be fine as it has all the drivers)

Quick question: for the ssd,is the following ok?
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO 2.5-inch SATA | Lazada Singapore
It's my first ssd and all seem to be in 2.5" factor, which if I recall correctly is usually used for laptops?
Thanks guys

By right, ssd were created to cater to laptops due to their form factor and speeds. But since can benefit desktop, den also put inside desktop. As long as it is the standard size, will work.

As for the deal, not dat good since it was $159 for the past 2 weeks. They must have rise up the price after mostly were sold. Try looking for MX100 256gb. There is a 10% discount if u browse with app on phone and purchase from there. But the mx100 256gb was mostly at $159 and went to $149 b4.

Most modern cases will have 3.5" trays which can accomodate 2.5" ssd/hdd. Even if dun have, can just put anywhere. Wun get dmg whatsoever.
