amd and ati is more cheaper than intel and nvidia



processors:
intel = expensive, over priced, faster than amd
amd = reasonably priced, value for money, fast enough for gaming


graphic card:
nvidia = expensive, over priced
ati = reasonably priced, value for money

based on kentang emas's recommendation, here i choose these specs for those who need a new rig to play starcraft 2.

prices from jayacom (go buy from their imbi branch, much less people, much faster access. lowyat plaza too crowded)

RM275 - MSI 770-G45 - mother board
RM138 - 2GB Kingston DDR1333 (CL9.0) - ram
RM138 - 2GB Kingston DDR1333 (CL9.0) - ram
RM305 - Phenom II x3 710 2.60Ghz 1.5MB L2 / 6MB L3 - processor
RM435 - Sapphire ATI HD5750 1GB DDR5 128 Bit

total almost 1.3k but can play starcraft 2 nicely
