Not really, hexacore is worse. With that price, you're better off with Intel system.

and btw which mainboard goes well with the processors above?

Nope, even more expensive Phenom II x6 1100T BE gets raped by i5 2500/2500K.

usually MSI boards are recommended because of it's cheap pricing.

Any H67 based motherboard will do. MS H67MA-E35-B3 is RM309 from Viewnet.

really? o__o
Must have been left out again

You are not outdated, but instead you're one of the many people in this world who thinks a hexacore is always better than a quad .

I made minor changes, see if its alright:
Core i5 2500 - RM655
MSI H67MA-E35-B3 motherboard - RM309
Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 x1 - RM125
LEADTEK GTX460 1GB D5 256BIT - RM549
1TB SAMSUNG 32M 7200 RPM - RM165
Liteon DVD writer - RM65
Cooler Master 550W EXTREME POWER PSU - RM190
Coolermaster Elite 370 casing - RM139
Edifier M1335 2.1 speakers - RM119
Logitech G1 mouse and keyboard combo - RM80
Windows 7 Home Premium Retail - RM359
Additional 12CM fan for front intake - RM25
TOTAL: RM2780

That PSU is not true power. Better get Silverstone ST-50F for RM199. Much better PSU.

oh ok then. Silverstone sure is a good brand. I heard

IMO, get Seasonic Silence 500W @ RM199 instead. Far more superior than Silverstone

really? how superior? I can't tell the diff coz silence and silverstone has the same psu power.....

Its the reputation and the benchmarks reviews on the PSUs and yes the Seasonic is a very very good brand and makes better PSU's than Silverstone

If you're planning on x-firing in the future, get the 750w Silence Pro.

no no i am not,although if i do that would much better.

BTW, just wanna ask. Let say my old comp keep crashing because lack of RAM(1GB). Then, I replace it with a new one(4GB). Do I need to do anything like reformat my com or just like that and can see the effect?

no need to format, but u need to set the system to use the 4Gb of RAM... but... its the 1st time I heard that PC crash because of lack of RAM... how old is this PC anyway?

from 2003? lol here is a pictre when i play COD4
