Sorry to ask again .

But why i5 and not i7 compared to the Aspire m7720 which has an i7 processor ?


Is i5 all I need for Gaming ?

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.

overbudget but you'll get a 1080p 23" lcd

Athlon II X4 620 RM365 [as fast as a core 2 quad q8200]
MSI 770-C45 RM260
4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 RM300
WD 500GB RM165
Sapphire HD4770 RM350 [as fast as a gts250]
CM Elite 310 RM130
CM Extreme Power Plus 460W RM150
LG DVDRW RM75
Acer X233H 23" FULLHD RM555
RM2350

Hi Bro,
Thanks for the suggestion. Im not into Acer, as i have many bad experience with them.

Co-incidently saw ur previous post with the followin specs

Phenom II X4 810 RM500
MSI 770 C45 RM260
4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM RM280
WD 500GB HDD RM170
LG DVDRW RM75
CM Elite 310 RM130
CM Extreme Power Plus 460W RM150
Sapphire HD4770 RM350

I think i can stretch abit to get the Dell monitor for peace of mind. Wut say u?

if you can extend the budget then definitely get the one with the st2310 and x4 810

Alright .

I was checking on the RAM pricelist while ago, what's the difference between single piece ram and dual kit ram(pair)?

Can't I install 2 pieces of RAM for dual channel? Then what is the purpose of getting a dual kit ram?

Generally single pieces of RAM would be slightly more expensive per gig of memory than the dual kits, considering same models. Apart from that, the real purpose of getting dual kits are to ensure that your RAM modules are fully compatible with each other.

why is no one reply my post?
sorry i just want some suggestion.
i plan for gaming like gta4 and NFS shift.
is my rig is good or not?

Best is to change the psu to realpower xigmatek 500w rm220.
Also bests to get dual ddr3 ram 2x2GB

Hi piumiu,

What is that DO stands for? Something like OC? Where can I get a DO mobo do you mind if I ask?

Besides that, DFI's X58 is similar compare to Intel's X58 yea?

DFI X58 is using Intel X58 chipset but with better features.
D0 is processor revision for i7 which run cooler than the previos revision,

I see, so can I get it at Roby's? Do you have their pricelist?

thnks piumiu.
