cool like that final price would be around RM1635. Thanks anything more to add? Like where to get the best prices for these parts?

if u want, u can even save more by getting fsp hexa 500w rm149 only. even the high end card now like gtx 670, 680, amd 7970 only need a good 500w to power up if u wanna get full set from one place, with enermax psu u can look for lingloong/idealtech from local garage sales, if u wanna get the fsp psu u can consider one more place which is viewnet lowyat plaza

idealtech say asrock h77 better than msi h77 which is better?

same feature with more pci and full atx size. if they have stock, go for that. even viewnet also has it

Hi sifus, i need another rig suggestion for a friend. Mainly for 3d rendering, autocad and photoshop. Her budget is around 2.4. Nothing reuse from old rig, all completely bew but can omit the speakers. Thanks ☺

Gigabyte Powerock 500W RM150
WD Blue 1TB HDD RM243
CM Elite 343 RM109
LG IPS224T monitor RM439
Lite-On 22x DVDRW RM59

Total - RM2252.00

Thank buddy! actually what is the main different btw XEON and normal i7 processor ?

If change to i5 would it be good enough for rendering?

xeon no integrated graphic

For rendering best would be to get the best which is i7 or Xeon

If suddenly lag in future then u curse said i5 not enough then regret lagi teruk than u spend extra and found out i5 might be sufficient

Besides of integrate graphic card, any other differences ? for instance some function not support compare to I7 ...

Overclocking.

Thanks Chocobo

I saw some processor spec mentioned "up to 3.90 GHz" , clock speed = 3.4GHz ....does it means overclocking will go max to 3.9 Ghz ?

That should be Turbo Boost IINM.

someone reply me please?? Post before no one replied lol.. with this
Core i3 3220 RM389
MSI H61M-P31-RM149
Kingston 1333 ram 4GB RM64
Sapphire HD7750-RM329
FSP Hexa 500W PSU RM149
WD Caviar Blue 500GB HDD RM140
Lite-On 22x DVDRW RM59
Gigabyte GZ-X Casing-RM59
Acer V193H monitor-RM239

questions:
1) this rig can support gaming graphics at what level?? Especially games like sims 3 and civilization, will it achieve high level graphics or just medium??

2) the guy who suggested to me.. he gave the processor and graphics card.. but what gb/ghz is that?? i mean the intel i3, how many ghz, and the graphic card how many ghz is that?? lol sorry still new

3) and seeing i have tight budget of 1.5k-1.6k, can i swap the i3 with something cheaper like amd PHENOM II X2 555 AM3 3.20ghz L2 7MB(whats L2?) RM299.. or A4 3400 dual cores FM1 2.70ghz L2 1MB RM209/A6 3500 triple cores FM1 2.10 L2 3MB RM249 ?? Can someone also explain whats better for gaming the i3 the guy suggested or what i see which is cheaper.. because i also want to buy good speakers and keyboard and mouse..

Thanks !!

EDIT: Also I have 1 TB external hard drive. Can external hard drive used as internal?? Like putting it into the motherboard all, as I said I want extra cash to buy other stuff lol

How about xeon? Cuz someone suggested xeon and i7 is similar, dunno much about it though.

from lurking around here, i can conclude that Xeon have a nearly similar power to an i7, but just without an integrated GPU

while i7 is more pricier but powerful with a good integrated GPU

correct me if im wrong thou.. need sifu to further clarify

well atleast with i7 you cant go wrong.

Let say ur gc need to be rma..you can use the IGP

Is the integrated gpu good enough though? If it isnt, is there a cheaper but quite good gpu? Dont need a powerful one, my friend doesnt play games which require those.
