Lol... All comparing rig...i will join soon

hmm... quite a tight budget. But still can squeeze.

If you planning to take Intel Processor, this is what i recommend.

Motherboard = Gigabyte Z68AP-D3-B3 RM445 link
Processor =Intel i5-2500K 3.30Ghz RM650 link

Thx for suggestion
actually my plan for 1.5k is the list below

AMD phenom 2 x4 965BE/955BE @RM420/359
ASUS Mobo @RM 200-300
4x 4GB DDR3 RAM @ RM 73/stick = RM 292
1TB HDD @ RM165
CM Gladiator 600 Casing @ RM 209
1x DVD/DVD-RW @ < RM 200


Total 359 + 300 +292 +165 +209 + 200 = 1525

So abit tight already so if, jump to intel additional RM 300

Which is Rm 1800

4 Sticks of 4GB Ram? o_O

and 4GB 1333Mhz for a stick cost @ RM68

Scrap the gladiator , go for the CM Elite 430 for now.

Battlefield 3 Commander was a hot topic at DICE
O Really...

Many (us included) are disappointed by the lack of a Commander feature in Battlefield 3. The Commander was a groundbreaking addition to Battlefield 2, and set the game apart from many other shooters, adding another layer to the gameplay. DICE has previously explained why the Commander feature was removed in Battlefield 3: only one player could play as Commander, and they preferred to “lower the threshold” and allow all players to use assets like the UAV. Ironically, in Bad Company 2, only one player could use the UAV, compared to two Commanders in BF2.

Speaking at the Eurogamer Expo, DICE’s Karl Magnus-Troedsson said that the Commander was a “hot topic” at the studio, with some developers in favor of it and other against. He said:



Troedsson made another, more interesting argument against the Commander feature, saying:



We disagree with DICE’s reasoning for removing the Commander — Commanders helped the team greatly by providing supplies, by using the UAV, by calling in the artillery, by spotting players. The Commander was never supposed to fight, and in fact, most BF2 players hated a “fighting” Commander. The Commander was basically playing an RTS — a game within a game — and being a Commander was never boring, you had to work hard for your team. Someone was always willing to play the role, and the team with a Commander was far better off then a team without one.

Honestly, we’re still taken aback by DICE occlusion of the Commander feature, and their reasoning behind it.

PlayStation 3 getting Battlefield 3 expansions one week earlier
That's It?




Timed exclusives are nothing new, and it appears that Battlefield 3 will join the list of games that offer exclusive content on a selected platform for a set period of time. Much like Microsoft and Activision, which have a deal on Call of Duty DLC arriving earlier on Xbox 360, Sony and EA have teamed up to bring Battlefield 3 DLC earlier to the PlayStation 3.

According to the official PlayStation Blog, where DICE’s Tommy Rydling announced that Battlefield 3 DLC will arrive 1 week earlier on the PS3, starting with Back to Karkand later this year.

We can’t say that we’re surprised by this, especially considering Microsoft’s deal on exclusive Call of Duty DLC, which has been very lucrative for them. Also, a week is much shorter than the 1 month time frame that Call of Duty DLC gets on the Xbox 360.

*LIKE

if ur budget is tight, go for only 4gb ram which is sufficient or 8gb max, 16gb is only show off for me, unless u do extreme rendering with ur pc.
and get 955BE will do. save rm60 for d mere increment of 200mhz, which u could oc urself easily.
total saved is around RM200, which u could get urself a CM 212+ or Tx-3 to replace d noisy stock cooler

I'd say go with 8GB of Ram first , never hurts to upgrade later on the Ram count.

hmmm there can save like 150+- hmmm what can i get from there?

AMD Phenom II X4 955BE - 359
ASUS M5A87 - RM305 (Bulldozer Ready)
2 X 4GB 1333Mhz RAM - RM136
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD - RM169
NZXT BETA Evo - RM229
Liteon SATA DVD - RM69

Total : RM1267
Maybe change the case option , or save up for a new PSU to support your new graphic card.
(Perhaps a Silverstone Stider 600W PSU @ RM259?)

although budget gamer should stick with budget psu = FSP Hexa 500W

My old commander has a neverending quest to try to kill me with artillery support....haha those were the days

Hehe ill upgrade to new rig with 8GB save some money for Higher Wattage PSU and Sapphire 6970

if can try to get i5 2500 without k also fine
that quadcore beat hell up of Phenom x4

NeoOfGeo we have almost the same GPU * High Five*

its the best Directx 11 Mid Range Graphic Card i can find~
with a price of RM290~~ who can resist such offer when you have so little money~

but im using 1366x768 resolution so this card should be like GTX560 lvl on that reso
testing out with Battlefield 2 Bad Company with max settings
get around 90fps(fraps)


Waiting for 7000 series to go out and make 6000 series price drop fast
