[WTA] Advice me building a desktop please

Hi, I would like to setup a PC that will solely be used for graphic design. The software that I heavily use are Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. Mostly deal with high resolution image,thats the highest strain I put, nothing as heavy as 3d modelling and such.

I have been offered these 2 builds below. I would like to have your views on these builds and ways I could optimize it better with a budget of Rm2k~3k.

If possible the budget should include OS and a decent monitor.

Built 1

Processor (CPU) – Intel Core i5-4440 (3.10Ghz 6MB Cache, 4 core)
Motherboard – MSI B85M-Z43
Memory (RAM) – Kingston 8G DDR 1600MHZ RAM X 2 PIECE(TOTAL 16G)
Primary Storage : Western Digital Blue 1TB
G.C: Sapphire R7 250 1G DDR 5 RAM
Power Supply (PSU) – Silverstone ST50F 500WATT
Heatsink – Silverstone AR02 HeatSink
Case – Silverstone PS08 ATX casing
Monitor:HP 20" LED Monitor
O.S: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Built 2

CPU: AMD FX8350
MOBO: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
RAM: Gskill AEGIS 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
GPU: Sapphire R9 270X Dual X 3GB DDR5
Chasis: NZXT Souce 210 Casing
PSU: Xigmatek Tauro 600W PSU
GPU: Silversteone AR03 CPU Cooler

The major difference I can see between the two builds is that one stresses on the need for more RAM (build 1) while the other more GPU. The other major thing is Build 1 gets me a monitor. The other does not. Both hits the 3k pricepoint.

I've done abit of research myself and found this statement :

"Video card isn't all that important at all. CPU also doesn't matter as much as you might think - the wife has a 3.2GHz i3 and it flies....she loves it. Any current med/high end CPU will be fine. If there's one area I would spend money on it would be a fast hard disk and SSD - SSD for OS and Apps and then a big/fast drive for storage. You'll also probably want some external backup/storage - a big portable drive is usually good for graphic designers. You could consider the various RAID setups too. As much RAM as you can afford as well"

So,the real question is,are those two build decent enough or should I sacrifice some of those graphical prowess and opt for the lotsa RAM + SSD instead.

Thank you very much for your help guys. Appreciate it.

[WTA] The best internet connection after TM

As the title, I would like to get some kind of recommendation on what broadband connection should I get (not wireless i.e. maxis,celcom etc.) Wired internet connection are still known as broadband right?

Anyway, I used to use jaring wireless a couple of years back and it was sufficient enough but paying the bill was quite a hassle. Now I'm using DIGI broadband with a quota of 4 gigs. I friggin hate quotas.

I do not prefer any TM service (father had some issue with them way back), thus Im looking for the next best thing. I have interest on what Jaring has to offer (RM95,2Mbps,30G quota) and P1 Forbiz (RM99,5Mbps,Unlimited or so they say).

Which of the above you guys think is worth it?Or is there any other plans out there?

Thanks yo for yer time

I'd like your opinon please and thank you

I'm currently waiting to get my cert for a diploma in electrical engineering this August (From local uni,UniMaP).

Thing is,right now I haven't got the passion for what I'm studying (Electrical) and felt like the 3 years I went through came to nothing.
But,i went ahead with the course in the first place since my parents opted me to become an engineer (yeah,old school scenario).

I'm kinda more interested in investments,stock exchange,etc and was wondering is there any course out there for me to give me an advantage if I wanted to go down that path? And is it possible for me to apply for degree (leaning towards economics) with a diploma in a very different field?
And any ideas where I can get a good place for me to continue my studies?

I really would like anyones and everyones opinion on this,kinda stuck right now. Do I go ahead and do what my parents tell me to do?or do I go and do what I wanna do? (Yes,I did apply for IPTA,but not interested,since I filled out all the options with engineering)

Thanks for your time
