Hi guys,
Me planning to get Desktop for Home. My current P4 system is really bugging me, so, time to change.

My budget for the system would be around RM2.3k inclusive of LCD monitor.

I use it mainly for photoshop and sometimes games....

Need a 20inch or above LCD screen
atleast 500GB HD
preferably a Quad Core Processor

Thats my plan.

Pls help me out ya. Thanks

The most important part of a gaming rig is the GPU and piumiu's recommended HD5850 that eats the Acer's 4870 for breakfast. Also you don't run any developer apps, do you? If the answer is no, then it's likely that you wont be able to take full advantage of the i7's Hyper Threading capability. Which means the i5 would serve you just fine.
