Plz comment about the choice of G.Card and Mobo

Then you'll have to use DDR2 RAM, which is cheaper as well. Not bad...



Get the E6300 at RM250 instead. It is over RM100 cheaper than the E7400 and only has a 0.08 clock speed difference and a smaller 2MB cache. Apart from that they are basically the same processor.

For the GPU, any HD4850 will do. If you aren't looking to XFire, any G41 or P43 mobo will do. Just pick the cheapest as the LGA775 platform is a dying one. I'd recommend Gigabyte's G41M-ES2L.

Do you really need a SSD?

By the way, a chunk of LGA755 chipsets only support DDR2 RAM.

A good PSU choice will be the Silverstone Strider ST400 at RM185 or the Vantec ION2 460W at RM145.

thank you 2 bros for helping..
i would consider the suggestions..

hi all,
is there much difference between Sapphire HD4770 and PowerColor HD4770??

coz i cant seem to source Sapphire in lowyat at the moment...

No. There aren't any glaring differences that set those two apart.

This is my old PC :

-Processor AMD ATHLON 64 X2 6000+
-Mainboard Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3
-Ram DDR2 KINGSTON 1024 MB PC2-5300 (333 MHZ) x2
-Graphic Card
-Power Supply 500W (Cap Ayam)
-Hard Disk WD 250GB (SATA)

Guys need recommendation on Graphic Card

budget?
hardcore game or light game?

can suggest both.

budget? as long as not bottleneck

i think 4850/4870/5770 would be a good choice for you.

Below RM300 get the HD4670
Below RM400 get either the HD4850 or HD4770.
Below RM500 get the HD4870
Below RM600 get the HD5770.

By the way, what is the continuous power rating of your PSU? It might struggle to handle a HD4870 if the wattage/amps are too low.

That is a complicated question for me.

Below is the PSU picture hope u can tell me the answer of your question and how you calculate ?

In that case, you can scratch the 4870 out of your list. Any of the remaining four should be just fine. Hope that helps.

So you mean that my power supply is not suitable for 4870?

If using 5770 i doesnt have to change PSU?

Which is better 4870 or 5770?

They are both similar. Except the HD5770 has DX11 and Eyefinity support and will only get better as drivers mature.

Oh that greats because im willing to format to Window 7 but do you know the real price for 5770?

Below RM590 or thereabouts.

Im afraid that my power supply dont have the requirement for 5770 erm.. idk the term but afraid my power supply doesnt have the pin or power connector for 5770

Edit : maybe it is called 6-Pin PCIE im not sure

If the 5770 use this 6-pin and my PSU doesnt have it is there any other solution like converter or..?

You can use a Molex to 6 pin converter. Either that or stick with a card that doesn't require aux power like the HD4670.

Ok if i use Molex to 6 pin converter i dont have to change my PSU right?

My "cap ayam" PSU can support 5770 rite?

That is an old ATX standard PSU (which places quite a significant amount of power on the +3.3V and +5V rails).. Looking at that +12V rail rating (216W only), I would estimate that this is equivalent to a new ATX standard PSU with a continuous wattage of 300W~340W only.

I don't think so... The +12V rails are too weak, only 18A (total) and must be shared with processor and graphics card. Nowadays all new ATX PSUs have higher power on its +12V rails to support processor and graphics card power requirements.. (and less power on the +3.3V abd +5V rails)

Example, new ATX standard PSU...
