Thank you all for the reply i think i know what will i be getting

Sir Perhaps you should consider the Cooler Master 690 Advanced Edition II as your casing instead.

I thought that casing hasn't reached Malaysia yet? has it?

7.5K
can even consider i7 975 extreme


Intel Core i7 930 = 3744 (from Compuzone)
MSI X58 Pro-E = 675 (from Compuzone)
6GB Corsair Triple Channel Kit DDR3-1333 (6 x 2GB) = 459 (from Viewnet)

Lite-On DVDRW = 79 (from Compuzone)
samsung spinpoint 1Tb = RM259 (from viewnet)

CoolerMaster CM690 ATX casing = 259 (from Startec)
CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ CPU cooler = 109 (Compuzone) - optional

total = RM7353 w/o OS

I've never seen such an expensive i7 930 before. Anyways, I've heard that an i7 975 is not worth it, so just stick to the i7 930. It's better as it has original OS as well .

oh my bad
shud be i7 975
just poisoning TS


anyhow i'd saw sum1 sell it for 2K
either its a typo or he's got loads of money


This post has been edited by digitalove_70s: Mar 10 2010, 10:56 PM

wow..so cheap...

typo?

just go for i7 930 n double the gc...hehehe...

+1
LOL

not worth 3.7K for single proc
better buy mobo that can support 2 x i7 920

I would rather go i7 930 + Thermalright Venomous X and overclock to the max instead of i7 975. i7 975 is ridiculously overpriced. Can even replace your i7 930 if you burn it and it will still cost less than i7 975.

perhaps can racun TS to buy evga classified...

okay here what i think i will be getting

Core i7 930 2.8Ghz RM 1000(C-Zone)
GigaByte EX58A-UD3R = 799 (from Viewnet)
6GB Corsair Triple Channel Kit DDR3-1333 (6 x 2GB) = 459 (from Viewnet
PowerColor HD5870 1GB GDDR5 #1 = 1350 (from C-Zone)
PowerColor HD5870 1GB GDDR5 #2 = 1350 (from C-Zone)

ThermalRight Venemous X HSF RM 299(Cycom) -
Tuniq TX-3 Thermal Compound RM 29(Cycom) -
Cooler Master 690 Advanced Edition II (If it were available later go check)

so anything i should add to make it more powerful anymore sugestion?
forgot to add PSU -.-

This post has been edited by illuvier: Mar 10 2010, 11:17 PM

where is ur PSU bro??? maybe u need 750 watt since u running 2 hd 5870...
xigmatek NCP-MC751 would be nice...

what the price and where to get it

Lol, yeap you're missing out the PSU. You can use the one i suggested earlier, the Gigabyte Odin M 800W Rm499 (C-Zone)

i thought you dont need monitor? if it's so, you can get a Intel 80GB SSD as well.

okay here my final list maybe getting it next weeks.so anymore sugestion?
before i go jump in and buy

Core i7 930 2.8Ghz RM 1000(C-Zone)
GigaByte EX58A-UD3R = 799 (from Viewnet)

Added on March 10, 2010, 11:28 pmwhat's da price range? can't get it if it were expensive

This post has been edited by illuvier: Mar 10 2010, 11:28 PM

where's the os?and imo,cut down on the mobo and get a SSD instead

all ur setup right now is = rm6423
so i guess u got rm1000 more...
maybe u can go for INTEL X25-V SSD 40GB = rm499 (czone)
n psu gigabyte din pro = rm499 (czone)

an Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD costs RM800+

o/s using my bro since he got xtra
SSD sound expensive mind giving me the price range?

SSD is expensive but it boosts the loading time tremendously.

INTEL X25-V SSD 40GB = 499
INTEL X25-M SSD 80GB = 899
INTEL X25-M SSD 160GB = 1899
KINGSTON V SERIES SSD 64GB = 599
KINGSTON V SERIES SSD 128GB = 999

imo.. crossfire mode is practically useless, waste of money, save that 1.3k and get yourself that SSD so u can start your pc in seconds..

Core i7 930 2.8Ghz RM 1000(C-Zone)
KINGSTON V SERIES SSD 128GB=rm1000
6GB Corsair Triple Channel Kit DDR3-1333 (6 x 2GB) = 459 (from Viewnet
PowerColor HD5870 1GB GDDR5 #1 = 1350 (from C-Zone)
PowerColor HD5870 1GB GDDR5 #2 = 1350 (from C-Zone)
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HDD RM 260(C-Zone)
LiteON DVDRW RM 78(Cycom) -
Gigabyte Odin M 800W Rm499 (getting 800w maybe adding other thing later on)
ThermalRight Venemous X HSF RM 299(Cycom) -
Tuniq TX-3 Thermal Compound RM 29(Cycom) -
Cooler Master 690 Advanced Edition II (If it were available later go check)

how about this?
p/s 1st time building a cpu so don't realy know the hardware

This post has been edited by illuvier: Mar 10 2010, 11:37 PM

quite true
consume lots of wattage too
better get SSD instead

so what should i add an remove from my list any recomendation?
newbie here sory

change to single hd5970 or take single hd5870..
n rest of money buy ssd...

totally depends on what u truly want from a pc actually... fast? how fast is fast in your definition.. but honestly crossfire u can hardly tell the difference cos a single 5850 card can max out in almost any game.. unless u going for like a 30inch monitor or something then maybe u need 2.. for your OS to load faster when starting comp then go for a SSD.. my recommendation is remove 1 card and add 1 ssd.. saves u a few hundred bucks.. juz my 2cents

POWER COLOR HD5970 2GB D5 - RM2200 (Czone)

seriously, do you need 12GB of RAM?

You know Radeon HD5970 is actually Dual Downclocked Radeon HD5870 or known as Dual Radeon HD5850 in term of performance?
2x Radeon HD5870 pawns Single Radeon HD5970.
2x Radeon HD5850 equals to a Single Radeon HD5970.

-1 to Radeon HD5970.

illuvier's decision is not bad. But, still can be refined.

This post has been edited by DarkSilver: Mar 10 2010, 11:52 PM

+1

single 5970 can last 3-4 years as high end gc
single SSD can last 5-6 years as high end stuff imo

Hell. Don't get 12GB RAM(6x2GB). It's useless for GAMING or NORMAL usages.
Unless you're doing Workstation like Autodesk Maya, 3DsMax, ZBrush and so on.
3x2GB(6GB) RAM is more than enough for Gaming already. Most games are 32bit based, so, they only can take-up maximal of 3GB of RAM and usually less than that.

looks like im missing sumthing
ts going for 12gb ram?


not worth it..at least for now
6gb is more than enuff if youre not into graphic/animation imo

i think he typo la bro...it should be 6 gb with that price...

only got one word left for this pc doesnt matter he gets the SSD or chooses dual graphics.. this pc is.. overkill

Added on March 10, 2010, 11:52 pmoh right.. u forgot to go for a water cooled system.. now that is COOL

This post has been edited by jimmyian88: Mar 10 2010, 11:52 PM

ThermalRight Venemous-X HSF pawns Low-End Water Cooling System(RM200-400).

yea
can buy 4 of my current rig


water cool is indeed cool
but the build up process and maintenance require some skills too
not suggested for newbies

so,two HD5770s IN CF that equals the HD5870 but costs RM300 cheaper is useless?So does a HD5850 CF setup that equals the HD5970 but costs RM300 is useless too?

The X25-M G2 is a better SSD as it is faster in random read and write.Or try getting the Vertex LE drives,those are among the best MLC SSD available.IINM it costs RM1000+

I gotta say though,two HD5870 to play at 1080p is too much,with current games being made for consoles too even a single HD5850 is enough,unless you're going with three 1080p monitors.

yeah..quite true...wat pening kpala je nanti...

wah so many suggestion make my head spin.
so how about this if u guys have rm7500 what will u build?
give me ur sugestion here!

Need at least a mobo.
DFI UT T3eH8 X58 for RM1k?
Intel SSD X25-M Gen2 80GB for just RM800 at Robyncom.

too many pros here
thats y
every1's dream setup
thats y so many setups


for me:
single 5870 and SSD
done.

ur setup is ok bro...but like racerX bro said..are u going to run into multiple monitor???
if u using single monitor...hd5870 is enough n u can spend rest of ur money on other thing like SSD k...

This post has been edited by tuonn: Mar 11 2010, 12:05 AM

yes i'm going to run it in multiple monitor tht y the budget is high

even with 4k,you'll get a great pc for gaming at 1080p.you don't need to spend all of your budget

well tts my bro moneh if i din't spend it he will keep it an i aint getting it for atleast few years

still,why spend all of it in one go?incremental upgrades are better imo.

better if u spend those extras on 40" LCD TV + home theatre

quite true i'll consider it

Yes! 3 GPUs. It's even better than Dual GPU Setup!
LGA1366 ASUS Rampage II Extreme can handle 3 GPUs well. Don't worry.

wah nice i need to reconsider my setup ur's more tempting lol k nite all ty for all the reply
7 days more before getting my rig so i will appriciate if evryone can show the rig they prefered.
it will be a great guidance.thank you and good night

Added on March 11, 2010, 11:50 ambut myself still prefer SSD performance

the performance was crazy man!!wooooooooot!!

That's RM 3000-5000. =.=!!

3x1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HDD RAID(RM 7XX) is very fast. I think it's almost like a SSD already.
So, it's boot-speed and so on should be like a SSD too.

This post has been edited by DarkSilver: Mar 11 2010, 12:19 PM

Do you really need 3 GPUs? Two 5870 is more than enough for 1920x1080.

5870 review including 5870 crossfire

ok
lets go for vertex 128Gb
thats only rm2000
same speed as the 256 GB
i also tried samsung Spinpoint F3 d
the speed cant compare la

The important point is you need to switch all paging, internet caching files to mechanical drive. SSD has a limit number of read, make sure the SSD only store Windows. Other programs are needed to install to normal HDD.

This post has been edited by kingkingyyk: Mar 11 2010, 01:57 PM

It's 3x1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HDD RAID. Not a Single 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HDD.
The performance of RAIDing 3 of it will create a NEW LIGHT.

Bro are u sure, got enought space to fit 3gc?
What sound card you use?

This post has been edited by forumer21: Mar 11 2010, 02:02 PM

i would go for

-8gb ram
-gold certified psu (seasonic 750w)
-single 5850
-big monsterous case (atcs840 or haf932)
-ssd for OS and apps to reside on
-custom water cooling
-24 inch lcd (Dell U2410 UltraSharp U2410)

Yes it can fit in it ^-^ otherwise look up Fastra pc setup, how they do the arrangement of Quad GPU setup ^-^ ..

@Silver, your triple GPU steup overkill man, not bad ..
@Supernothing : why need till 8gb of ram for the purpose of gaming and not workstation ? Even 3gb ram also can handle it nicely, and i dont suggest WC setup for a newbie to build up coz need skill to maintain it.. Anyway, fan cooling are enough ^-^

if he got rm8000 to rm 10000 budget for comp..why not he take silver setup...
3gpu n it will be overkill...

TS oledi stated his budget that is 7.5k and silver setup didnt reach 8k ^-^ so go on with silver setup ^-^ ..3gpu not overkill yet ^-^

omg! newbie using Rm5k PC.. alot of pros only using rm3k PC.. this world is so corrupted

this comp should be overkill..could last for 3 to 5 years....

Calling people newbie doesn't help with the thread. Besides, it's their money and they already decided to buy it with the budget they have.

I'm also one of those guys who saves up to at least RM5000 to buy a PC when I upgrade. Am I a newbie too?

Dude, watch your words. Calling TS newbie doesn't proof anything man, Why settle for something less when you can get better? You're just making yourself look dumb. What has buying a 5k rig have anything got to do with corruption. Bummer.. OMG! seeing your dumb post just makes me drop dead frustrated with imbeciles like you telling something before using their god damned brains.

are you going to use LCD tv?
Is it full HD?

I still think my Triple Radeon HD5850 Setup Build should pawn every builds here. LOL.

I do include a very GAY Motherboard for that build too.

its overkill for now, and GC technology evolves fast, spend too much on it and you'll regret later

At least the silver build might hold up till 3-5years ^-^ ..

Thumbs up for this. Even 1 month later the price will shrink

it's technology man...it's move fast...but silver setup can last to 3-5 years from now...
i wish i got that money...

Then again, very few games needs 2 cards for maximum settings at 1920x1080. Still a waste of money if you go 3 cards. The price will be cheaper if you crossfire later too.
