Hello, hope you guys can shed some light on my limited hardware knowledge. Thanks~



I just want to whether this rig handle Guild Wars 2 at Max High ? resolution might be 1080 or lesser.

Is this rig better than lenove y580 at handling Guild Wars 2?

What about other games, such as Mass effect 3 or GTA V(upcoming). Can this rig handle such games at High setting?

Planning to OC?

Do you really need that board?

Aim for a better PSU.

1. take other model of casing, cm 430 bad cable management, opt for xigmatek asgard pro
2. do u really need those features on the asus v-pro mobo?
3. performance ram won't help in gaming, no improvement that u can feel
4. never take cm psu especially extreme and gx series. your system need 500w min, u can opt for enermax naxn82+ 550w rm215 for more future proof
5. odd can opt for liteon, cheap and good, avoid samsung
6. i assume u wanna oc, so u need an aftermarket cooler, suggest cm 612s rm1xx

Try these :

Intel Core i5 3570K RM695
Asrock Z77 Extreme4 RM469
Corsair 1333 ram 2x4GB RM118
Aerocool XPredator X1 case RM169(lingloong)
Enermax NAXN 650W PSU RM249
CM Hyper 612S cooler RM169
Lite-On 22x DVDRW RM59+

Total - RM1928

1. noted.
2. any other suggestion? paiseh paiseh i only saw the benchmark. didnt check on their specs till just now.
3. so means go for normal 1600 is sufficient?
4. 550w is sufficient for future proof?
5. agreed.
6. not so soon to oc. in future yes.

thanks.

1. great
2. do u need sli/cfx in future?
3. even value 1333 is enough, but u can opt for those 1600 for cosmetic purpose
4. yes 550w is sufficient. even the high end card like gtx 680 and amd 7970 only require 500w to run (if u go gtx 690 then u need 650w )
5. great
6. if u buying those part now, i suggest to buy the cooler together one shot so u can save the trouble change cooler in future

Hey guys, can try to suggest spire gemini rm149 from lingloong, I got mine yesterday, very good cooler, on par with v6gt. The design look nice too, the cons is the cooler doesn't come with 2 to 1 pwm adapter

i told u, right it's one of the top 5 air cooler

2. if u don't need those, u can opt for asus p8z77-m rm339
4. then fsp 500w rm149 or enermax naxn82+ 550w rm215
6.

for the mobo, u can opt for the one bro cable707 recommended, asrock z77 extreme4 rm469 but u might not fully utilizing it coz it's the most affordable sli/cfx mobo available. it's up to u. most price list can get from here

no u won't very able to play gw2 at max settings at 1080p since its a very demanding game

so ur budget around rm1500?

zero mari tolong

Hi all,

can u recommend to me good psu for i5 rig with sapphire hd 7870 oc gc..

thanks

Give them your moneybudget 1st then they will talk..

Thanks for the reply

nah I can go up to RM 3k or RM 3.5K max, but I still prefer to say under RM 3K if possible as I want to save as much money as possible because my cellphone is also dying if not I can max it until RM 4.5K

That is why I choose RM 1.5K budget first, to gauge how far I can save

I don't think I need a monitor, I have one very old monitor. I have no idea about it's resolution but I think it can go up to 1080. But it doesn't really concern me as I can hook it up to tv. Ah and the monitor is not one of those bulky hulky design, the thin lcd type from acer 17"

Keyboard, mouse and speaker(I use most of the time) are also not a priority.

If I may add, I'm looking for an eco friendly rig, consume less electricity and silent

Sorry if I ask too much

Hello Guys!

I am a noob when it comes to assembling desktops.

Currently I am given a budget for a computer is RM2k including probably a 20" screen and accesories. Also If possible I'd like my computer to be able to link to Tv via HDMI

Purpose- Watching HD movies, playing games like ragnarok/dota/HON/LOL

My last desktop is currently 10 years old so I have no idea what to do with it. Suggestions anyone? >:D

Also I might want to upgrade in near future when I have enough cash.


Suggestions please? If possible list down the pros and cons of each device chosen. I know I am asking a bit much but because I am new I need to know what does what and why.


Really Thank you very muchie in advance :3
