Hi all Sifu's ...

i would like a recommendation for my new rig ...

1. Budget is about 3.5k or less ...
2. Only Display, Speaker and normal HDD are reuse.
3. High end gaming (Diable 3 that kind) and 24/7 up for download.
4. Purchase in this 2 month or so.

Must Have/Must Use:
SSD 120GB with about 500 R/W speed
CPU: AMD
Graphic : ATI (with OC) (or without OC better? )
Casing: Full Aluminum

Is mean for gaming, when it do not run for gaming, it will run for download.
Cooling is important.

Going to use 64 bit windows 7, no 3GB RAM cap.

Need all the from the Sifu's from here to help on this

2 months? Wait bro... Maybe new hardware will be introduced. Oh, price drops may be imminent as well.
Aluminum cases aren't cheap mang.

its possible u can fit all that into that budget of urs but u might have to sacrifice on others that is not in ur must have list

full alu casing can be found for 300++
ssd with a sandforce will take about 1/5 of ur budget

maybe in mid of may or so? new hardware? hmm ... so when will be good time?

er... i think u read this wrong (or maybe i type wrong )


CORSAIR F60 FORCE 3 60G is about RM300++


with 555/490 W/R.

i think i make a mistake here.
SSD with 500+ (should be about 500) R/W speed

let me update my 1st post

ya i knew what u meant

when i typed that i meant at least a 120gb ssd and that cost around 500+

to me 60gb is too small

so mean cant get SSD? my budget was 4k but that is with mouse and keyboard ... was planning on Logitech keyboard and Razor mouse ...

good time is when u have your budget in hand, not any longer than that... hardware prices will drop as time passes so the waiting game is never over... just buy what u need thats available in the market when u have the $$$ will do

I agree with Hilmiangah.. 60GB is kinda small... probably OS & few softwares will be full in no time.... save ur $$$ u can always add an SSD later on

i understand now just wan to know which spec is good, if not kena con by the salesman @_@ earliest i can buy also at end of April, when my salary is in

Shouldn't get a 60GB SSD since it's kinda small.
Use that money for the hardware first, and add an SSD later on if you want.
And there's no such thing of "right time" for buying hardware, you'll have to wait forever if you want a right time
Best time to buy is when you have the money, because if you're gonna wait for new hardware, prices will drop a lot, etc.

icic ... so say if i take 120GB SSD with 3.8k budget ... possible?

Let see,

Intel i5 2500K blow away AMD far away currently. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/203?vs=288#

did i c wrongly or ...
even FX8 8150 lose to i5 2500k?

actually i have in mind is the FX8 8120 ... but look like i5 2500k is much more better

They're no match even for a i3 2100.

Opss , i did't include RAM in your build.

wow! nice nice anyway, how much difference in performance between same gc with OC and without OC?

It depend on the manufacturer selection of GPU cooler. Some that uses custom cooler can overclock higher than reference card. But it don't mean reference card cannot overclock, just the heat are not dissipate quickly compare to such cooler.

Example
This is an example of perfomance base on stock and OC card. Btw , this is the Sapphire HD 7950. Hope it will help.

waa this is a really good GC
