(Price=RM1799) Please feel free to advise on alternatives though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />Main purpose of the rig would be for gaming, have no intentions of overclocking in the near future though might consider it if frame rates start to lag behind <!--emo&:hmm:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='hmm.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /><br />Also considering: <br />GTX 680; not sure which manufacturer though, prefer one easily available around KL (only seen them in garage sales). I only plan on using a single monitor, so considering GTX 670 as well. <br /><br />Intel Core i7 3820; is i7 overkill for gaming??<br /><br />Could you guys please comment, suggest a build??<br />Thanks in advance <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Cerv Hardware Wed, 03 Oct 2012 01:35:37 +0800
