Here's a better one...
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sooyong94/sav...vedbuild_205456
A true quad core CPU...., plus you have a pretty good iGPU as well. Comes with SFF casing as well.
Basically... It looks something like this:
A8-5600K
4GB 1600MHz memory
MSI A55M-E33 FM2 board
Fractal Design Core 1000
Corsair CX430 v2
All those around 193 pounds....

I have posted an APU build for him.... and this is pretty good.

Just look at the PCPartPicker link I have posted...

Thanks chocobo. I'll look at that. I'm not sure im correct or wrong.. from the A8-5600K states the iGPU Radeon 7650. Is it the same as this link :
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD...0M.70632.0.html

I know the 7650M is for laptop version but im thinking they are the same thing ?

No. The HD7650M is the laptop version and they are much more underpowered FYI....
Here's a bit of benchmark of the A8-5600K...

GPU benchmarks...

You can get a HD6670 for hybrid CFX in case your gaming needs arise...

Im assuming the MOBO is what determines whether can crossfire another GPU or not ?

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-fm2a55me33

The motherboard there wrote No support for crossfire... ><


Edit: I think the RAM already break my budget. Is it i must use AMD manufactured RAM for the whole system ? Or can i stick in other RAM ? The shipping fees frmo that website still have taxes ++.

The Corsair PSU is on limited time offer. Reduced by 20 USD. T.T if i wait longer i tink my budget will be broken ? haha. So how how sifu ? The RAM. haha. trying to cut down the budget ><

Hi forumers

This is my request;

[Budget]
2.7 (CPU+LCD 23 inch)

[Purpose]
Heavy Gaming+moderate multitasking (multiple browser opened with dozens of tab opened+photoshop)

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig]
None

[Monitor resolution]
23inch

[Game or software that use frequently]
World of Warcraft (maximum setting)
Battlefield 3 (maximum setting)
Diablo 3 (maximum setting)
Photoshop CS5

[Personal Preference Brand]


Also will it be possible to have such PC with, say, Optiplex 390-like casing? I would love to save space in my room

No.... What I mean is use a HD6670 to CFX with the integrated GPU....

Added on November 21, 2012, 9:20 pmMake sure to go for any 1600MHz RAMs due to the iGPU inside Trinity benefits from faster RAMs.
The reason why I'm going for it because it's dirt cheap....

SFF casing?
i5 3470-RM569
MSI H77MA-G43-RM289
Kingston 2x4GB Value RAM-RM114
WD Caviar Blue 500GB-RM174
Sapphire HD7850-RM659
LiteOn DVD Writer-RM60
FSP Hexa 500W PSU-RM149
Fractal Design Core 1000 mATX Casing-RM170 (CyntrixTech@Garage Sales)
Dell U2312HM IPS monitor-RM589
Total: RM2773
Nearly impossible to match the Optiplex case in terms of dimensions because you will need to go for mITX for that... and your budget won't allow for it.

guys need help please. im adding this d-link pci to my rig. help me choose which one i should go for and why ?

PCI WIFI N 150MBPS (DWA-525) - RM39
PCI WIFI-N 300MBPS (DWA-547) - RM129
PCI-E WIFI N D/B (DWA-566) - RM109

I thought so too (about the dimension) but hey i totally forgot about mATX, thanks

The spec suggested is beyond my expectation for my budget; this is very awesome!

Although I forgot to mention I require SSD for OS and 500gb for miscellaneous+games storage. I'll manage this myself.

This is very helpful. Thanks a gazillion!!!

I have another question... since i need an internal Hard drive what do you recommend ? I haven't included monitor and keyboard. >< Theoretically, any hard drive will do? Because i think different hard drives have different sizes. Might not fit into the SFF casing.

Thanks for the feedback, I download it watch then delete.. Should be suffice.. Fans are good idea.. :-)

Thanks! Will switch with the list:-)
Any more recommendation? I can add in the wifi function later to the (motherboard?) right? Because the desktop may needs no wifi.. Just usb port for my broadband is enough.. Thanks again sifus..

any suggestion with tvcard？

decided to ditch the pci and just change the motherboard. that now solves the wifi and bluetooth issue.

so my latest rig now as it stands,

Cooler Master Silencio 650 - RM459
Cooler Master EXTREME SERIES 500W - RM149
GIGABYTE GTX650 1GB - RM539
GIGABYTE H77N-WIFI itx - RM389
Intel Core i5 3570 @ 3.4GHz - RM619
KINGSTON DDR3 8GB PC1600 - RM119
Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM SATA II - RM219
Liteon BLU RAY COMBO 12X - RM249

should i go for CORE I7 3770 - RM889 ?

also thinking of going for 8GB peformance ram from the current 8GB value ram

KINGSTON DDR3 8GB PC1600 - RM119
Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM SATA II - RM219
Liteon BLU RAY COMBO 12X - RM249

Alright everything looks good your all set now

looks like it

ive' always dreamt of intel core i7, cant believe im so close but ill need to spend some few hundreds more if i want to own it.

no doubt my current rig is more then good enough for me and im very happy.

can my rig do any upgrades in the future ? like 3 or 4 years from now ?

Update... i have not got monitor / keyboard.
Right now selling AMD A-Series A8 3870K Black Edition Quad-Core Processor (3.00 GHz, 4MB Cache, Socket FM1, 100W, Radeon HD6550D, 3 Year Warranty, Retail Boxed)
cheaper 20 pounds than A8-5600K. Should i make the switch ? budget cutting again.... ><

Yes, if you can find compatible part at that time.
