but the notebook & laptop recommendation can last till so long...

That one belongs to laptop or notebook discussion thread.

of course la. notebook new model come, old model go.

desktops are totally different.

just load a price list and you can see the variation.

# of processors x # of board x # number of ram config x # gpu # gpu qty x # storage x casing x psu ........ we're looking at an insane amount of combo for different purpose.

I think this will be an endless thread coz new and higher technology keep coming out, and Laptops are fully made! You don't even need someone to recommend you a laptop! While for desktop different part fits to different part give you different performance. You can also choose to watercooled ur system.

So now let's hope this thread last as long as I live XD

desktop got so many combination.. from g series - i7
ati gc - nvdia gc..
every month price might varies.. rig suggestion might need to update every now and then..
stay strong..

Most of the parts remain quite the same in 3 months, such as processor, hard disk and PSU.
Only graphic card and occasionally mobo have more frequent price updates. Even then, monthly update would be sufficient as the price revision only goes about 4-8% either way. Then there's the promo period by Garage Sales people.

Question of update comes secondary to motivation and know how for the setup of such a webpage.

Either way the price changes are usually enough to justify for the need to update at the very least monthly, since they give enough headroom for better or new components to be put in.

the changes are too minor la. once every month or 2 would suffice.

my style is not to follow buta buta the price on price list, i prefer to round it up higher a bit.

i think the price change or difference is always there..
I think what we could provide is the rough figure.
there are some LYN member that is not located in KL and their only choice is to get expensive part from their local computer shop :

[Personal Preference Brand]
I just need mobo+ram+proc suggestion.
I don't mind, as long it's within my budget. I'll be OCing too but not too extreme just casual OCer. I don't want a performance RAM, not important to me.
I appreciate if you guys can quote and spoiler my post so I get the notifications. Thanks.

Try ..
Intel i5-3570K RM699
Asus P8Z77-M motherboard - RM339
Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 8GB RM149

RM 1187

200 extra, value ram isn't sufficient for normal OCing? I'm just talking about 4.2~ghz here.

nah ram doesnt affect proc OC, can just get value ram

Actually sellers here are selling the motherboard for 325 . And going for value ram will just save you around 10 dollars...

just go for KVR 4GB is you are not planning to OC the ram..
KVR 4GB Rm 6x

Ah I see, so the price went a little bit high now, last time I saw 8GB value only rm90 or something, probably I saw wrong.

4GB isn't enough, now I'm using 4GB .. on idle w/ basic apps already used up to 2.5GB. I guess I'll wait for the price to drop a little bit.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Never seen 8GB RAM dropped to RM90. However, the price dropped to RM149 now.

You know what, this will be a failure if KYTZ and Zerohunter keep on giving ts recommendation on their own thread =.=
