hope that's a pro to help u with that....

sims 3 and civilization are cpu hungry games, so it depends more on cpu muscle

PSU it says "Switching Power Supply" as the title, sticker next to it Ever Lasting and Intel Pentium 4, AC input volt (115V 230V ~) Current ( 8A 4A) Frequency ( 50-60hz)
thats all... Lol
And can explain ah why AMD is not good then Intel.. there was this one mod who replied giving me a photo of all cpus and have this green bar and blue bar i dont understand lol. Lets say a A6 3500 2.1ghz so its 3x right because its triple core?? Shouldnt it be better in performance lol sorry still new hohoho

u should ditch everything from the old pc because nothing can be reused except if u have a DVD-RW

if i get this?
MSI H61M-P31 rm149
a6 3500 triple core rm249
sapphire 6670 2gb rm239
4GB DDR3 RAM rm60
casing and dvd slot like you said sum to rm120
and power supply if mine cant used so take yours rm149
hard drive i'll take my external 2.5 sata hard drive 1 TB and make it into internal hdd can right??

Is that specs good for high gameplay performance n graphics??

Nope avoid amd cpuS . An i3 can easily outperform an A6 3500 and also a the bulldozer CPUs by AMD. Now days just stick with intel, you can't go wrong. You wnt you can try reading some benchmarks and reviews to see the difference of the both cpuS .

Added on September 22, 2012, 1:02 am1st thing you can't pair an amd cpu to an intel build mobo. The socket type is different. For the gpu , You won't be able to play at high settings on Civilization. Get a 7750 or maybe a GTX550ti or if you have the extra cash a 7770

the A6 is a APU ( CPU + GPU ) and its a AMD processor and the MSI is a Intel motherboard, if u want go cheap amd also sum up to an decent intel build, why?
Intel proc = expensive / Intel mobo = cheap
AMD proc = cheap / AMD mobo = expensive


and taking out the HDD from the external HDD would void ur warranty

a6 3500 triple core are not compatible with that mobo. Try i3-2120 RM345. You can reuse external HDD.

I see I see.. thanks for the help tomorrow will bring to shop.. and see what happen, and also maybe get discount because the shop not many customer lol thanks anyway! gonna sleep now, night guys and thanks again

I made a changes to the list u suggested me a few days ago with the following:

intel i7 3770K rm1010
Asus P8Z77-M rm 339
Corsair 1333 4gb x2 rm116
Sapphire 7870-OC 2gb rm899
wd blue 500gb rm184
asus dvd-rw 24x rm64
fsp hexa 500w rm149
cm elite 311 plus rm139
bengQ g922hdl(2nd hand) rm200

total RM3100

I made these changes according to my latest budget and overclocking is very likely to be happened in near future.
could you please check out if there's any compatibility issues between parts?? And would 500w power supply would be enough? and I can spare two hundreds more and would it be ok to go for x1600RAM instead of x1333? any advice?

Thx

500W wont be enough for overclocking, at least 550w is recommended and u will need a after market cooler, if u would spend RM200 on 1600mhz performance ram, i would suggest to put the extra money on the graphics card because u would have visually 0 performance boost from 1600mhz ram, unless u want to get for bling bling, if u really dont mind spending abit more, can go for xigmatek asgard pro for casing for good air flow and cable management

1. U don't need that GPU to play smoothly on 19" monitor , even a 7850 1gb rm619 is enough
2. 500w is enough for oc the CPU
3. Spend your rm200 on CPU cooler , x1600 ram gain no improvement in real life performance

i5-3570 = RM640
Asrock H77 PRO4 MVP = RM310
wd blue 1tb = RM245
enermax NAXN82+ 550W PSU = RM215
bitfenix shinobi = RM220
G.skill Sniper = Rm200

Total RM1830.

Anything suggestions I can have on this rig? Maybe if i upped my budget to rm2000? no need graphic card

which gpu u planning to take? if it's green camp 6xx series (except 690) or amd 7xxx series then it's good to go

**if u taking the ram for cosmetic purpose**

splurge a bit on RAM xD maybe can use for future upgrades. I think memang all im lacking is GPU ler...but right now this max I can spend...next year only can buy GPU T.T using GTS250 now only wakakaka

but yeah guy recommend me so just try only la xD
