my sis laptop a goner, so buy another lappy? no way! build a mini itx system for gaming and everything gaming is for the kid and the rest for my sis LOL the spec: i5 4590 Gigabyte H97N wifi 2 X 4GB DDR3 1600mhz Intel 530 120gb ssd WD Blue 1TB Sapphire vapor-x R9 280X 3GB tri-x CM V650 semi modular psu CM Elite 130 mini itx case Dell S2340L monitor and the finished build very tight fit for the gpu, the power connector position just nicely there to plug in two 8pin pcie..but overall a very fast silent for gaming and everything and i am proud of myself building it
Not really overkill considering the kid (14 years old) wana play the latest title like watch dog and wolfenstein Because the laptop kaput i need to build this rather hurry so instead wasting more time ordering parts i have to choose whats available. From the price quotes i choose the reasonable parts reducing from around RM4.5K to now final spec RM4090. Not bad considering my sis wana buy a 15inch macbook for RM6K just because it look nice.
well we can only blame ourself nobody buys us a pc like that i look at mine, slow amd from 5 years ago..slow gpu from few years ago and every upgrade comes from my own pocket and this hurts
Worse if you just paid for the upgrade but no money to replace the faulty part! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
i read in USofA many got their warranty rejected even a scratch is not the fault and not cause by user they still deny the RMA, many just not happy haha a week++ the kid is happy gaming it away..im quite proud of myself building the kinda awesome rig for him
If Asus create an expensive so-called reliable line up, and they are still not able to honor warranty, then I think it's really FOS to provide longer warranty on their products. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
