  1. To be honest, I don't plan to re-use the old PC parts hence I want to get the 212 instead due to it good reviews and maybe quieter operating sound. The Corsair 400R is a very good case, still holding up well for 6 years so far but I wish to reduce the area used to go down into mATX. Another kind redditor did suggest holding off the current setup and instead opt in for 1070 and spend the rest of the money on dual monitors but I wish to retire this old PC entirely hence the new build. My current MB and GPU was already a used part hence I prefer not to swap in any new parts or used parts. (I should edit in this part into the thread).
  2. Thanks for the feedback. Over at Singapore, I think there is no available stock for Core 1000 here, the cheapest mATX case is Corsair 88R at USD$63 and the FD Define Mini C is at USD$97. From research via YouTube, it appears that the Define Mini C seems to be 'quieter' but I can't be sure but to trust the general consensus of FD being a good choice. Sadly, over at Singapore, the selling price of Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD and M.2 is the same price which is why I decided to go for M.2. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into Windforce 1060. A silly part of me was thinking that having the same brand for MB and GPU will have an easier time to install drivers.
  3. Not really, sir. Just would like to save some space at home. @deXxterlab97, thanks!
  4. Hi all, please advise me on the following PC build which I have planned out to replace my current PC to achieve dual 27" monitors setup and good FPS for ARPG games. This PC build is to replace the current build I have which is already 6 years old. It is still working however, I just feel that it deserves a replacement to support higher resolution dual monitors setup and better viewing pleasures for general gaming alongside with Netflix. I play PoE, D3, Dota 2, GTA5, Hearthstone, etc. Thus far, with my current build, I'm able to play all the games at decent FPS (lowest at 40+ with GTA5) with all low settings, some even tweaked to turn the graphics even lower. For monitors, I'm currently using Dell U2312HM (IPS) monitor as my main and an Acer P193W (comes with my previous Acer pre-built PC) as secondary, I'm also looking to upgrade one of the monitors so I can shift my Dell U2312HM as secondary and hopefully a 27" or above IPS monitors at a good price point to serve me as a main monitor. I have around USD$300/- for another monitor however, I couldn't find anything that is a good replacement to my Dell U2312HM. Ultimately, I would like to run dual 27" monitors but in the meantime, I will just settle for one 27" monitor first. For this build, I'm looking at something smaller than ATX, to reduce the space required and most importantly, to have a silent gaming PC. I'm only able to perform maintenance once a year before spring cleaning hence, easy maintenance is something to look out for when I do. I prefer not to recycle any parts from this current build, the most I'll salvage from is the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD but I picked up Samsung 850 EVO 250GB M.2 to make it cable-less for my drives however, I have no idea about M.2 but I presume it's the same except faster speed? Alongside, I have heard bad things about recycling old parts into new PC build although the SSD was less than 1 year old. Maybe I could salvage the previous Corsair AF120 and SP120 but to reduce the noise, I'll most likely not install them. I have good experience with Corsair RAM and Seasonic PSU which why I picked them up. I have a total of USD$1300 to spend and I have already allocated USD$1000 on the new PC build. Also, I would like to completely retire my current PC build as the MB and GPU were already used parts hence I don't wish to swap in new or old parts like getting a good GPU and allocate the rest of my budget to monitors. Thanks for the suggestions either way. Lastly, the last build I had was 6 years ago and I haven't been following any PC news except only recently so please, give me some advise to cut cost or improve my build so that I could at least squeeze in another monitor or a good 27" monitor at USD$300/- price point. Alongside, I also will not overclock now (even for my current PC) but I always feels that Z and K series has higher durability but it's just me. Also, if possible, please also recommend a good 24" or above monitors. Many many thanks.

  5. A Note 4 user here, it's really a powerful phone. But if you feel that TouchWiz is slow, you can always root it and install custom ROM. If you don't feel like rooting, you may want to download other third-party app for dailer, gallery, etc. Just something to note, the metal frame is really superb to hold naked BUT you may want to consider getting a case. The metal frame is strong and good but not the metal chamfer chrome finish, it gets scratches easily. The moment I got I Note 4, I am already using a case but when I was changing my case today, I found out it already have several scratches... =C
  6. Diablo 3. Several of my friends got it but they stopped playing when RoS come out.
  7. Thank you everyone for the reply. I have went to the store and feel all the devices in my hands and I have been watching YouTube reviews for each devices... I have come with these conclusions and still is confused: LG G3 - Almost the same size as my Note 3 and I would like to have a device that could be used with one hand. Samsung S5 - All the reviews point towards this device but it just seems like the functions are like gimmicks. Heart-rate monitor and finger-print sensor and since I'll be rooting it, those functions will be useless too. HTC One M8 - The camera seems subpar compared to other devices on the list (based on YouTube reviews) however I really enjoy the premium feel of this device but I wouldn't be using these devices without any casing so it kind of useless for me. The front portion of the device seems really tall too. iPhone 5S - I just noticed that iPhone 5S uses Nano-SIM which I may have difficulties changing between my Note 3 and iPhone 5S. But overall, the functions are pretty good and I don't mind going back to Apple ecosystem.
  8. Hello, everyone! So, my dad will be signing a new 2 year contract and since he isn't the smartphone type of guy, I'll be keeping the phone that he sign the contract for. Thus, I was wondering what current phone should I get? I am currently using Note 3 and most probably wouldn't be completely switching over to the new device which I'm planning to buy. With the new phone, I'll just be occasionally switching to the new phone. And the sad thing is, my dad's contract cannot wait for the release of iPhone 6, Note 4, etc and my country doesn't really ship Nexus 5, Find 7 or OnePlus One. So, I'm left with choices like: LG G3 Samsung S5 HTC One M8 iPhone 5S P.S. - I'll likely jailbreak or root it and install custom ROM after I am done with the stock skins and some tinkering. What are your honest opinions for the above mentioned devices? Thank you very much!
  9. MSI GeForce GTX-560Ti Twin Frozr II (OC Edition)
  10. Just simply love the metal construction!
  11. Over the last 22 months, you've spent 2070.7 hours playing this selection, which includes 524 items, is valued at $6848.58, and requires 1976.2 GB
  12. Hello, everyone. So like everyone else, I'm eligible for a phone upgrade and is currently using Samsung Galaxy Note rooted with CyangenMod 10.1.3. However, I'm not sure which phone to get. I understand that there are some obvious reasons to change to this and that but would like more opinions from you guys as well. Note 3 - Pretty standard if coming from the Note but I'm only interested in the Rose Gold Black edition and if I were to change it'll be like a 'same' feeling except of course, better specifications but the overall feeling of the phone will be pretty much the same. iPhone 5S - Yes, after rooting, flashing and what not, I'm looking at the 5S. I like its simplicity and since I'll only be using my phone for browsing the web, reddit, mild gaming, texting and taking pictures, I don't see why having 5S would be a problem. I live in Singapore so I cannot get Oppo, Moto X / G or Nexus 5 locally so, I prefer to get 'top of the line' Android or Apple products. So, please let me know your opinions on each phones or other phones that you may find interesting as well. Thanks!
