so how's the budget for the monitor?

GPU : RM 600
Monitor : RM 300

pls add another rm50 and get viewsonic vx2250vm 21.5' 1080p rm350 from jayacom

what about gpu ? anything in mind ?

Powercolor HD6870 PCS+ 1GB RM599.

Thanks for the recommendation guys.

On 2nd thoughts, I think I would buy a new casing as well.

Whats your budget for the case? For one of the best value around, go for Corsair Carbide series.

Thanks. Will look up the Corsair Carbide series.

After looking thru the recommendations on this thread, I think I will go with the following specs. Kindly critique.

Core i5 3570 - RM629
Asus P8Z77-M motherboard - RM339
Kingston 8GB DDR3-1333 x1 - RM139
Leadtek Winfast GTX670 2GB DDR5 - RM1149
WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM240
Liteon DVD writer - RM60
Seasonic S12 II 620W power supply - RM299
Casing (Undecided - To check them out in person)

I understand that GTX670 provides best bang for buck at the moment but I am thinking that a lower range gfx card would probably suit my needs as well as I don't game that much, and I don't play in that high a resolution.

What card would you guys recommend in the RM600-800 range?

^ maybe HD7850 - RM759 or HD7870 - RM999.

Non K processor? if yes, then change to a H77 mobo. Maybe Asus P8H77-M LE rm315 in viewnet pricelist

GPU of that range, as per Cable707, HD7850. But GTX670 is more future proof imo.

+1 for the mobo . Can also consider MSI h77ma-g43 rm319

Thanks for the recommendations. Other than saving RM20-30 switching to a H77 board, are there any other benefits of doing so? I am thinking of keeping my options open for a future overclock with Z77, although I understand that the non K processor is not made for overclocking (may need to get a new processor by then). Hmm..

If you want the option to OC, then get a K version CPU and Z77. If not, then just a non K CPU + H77. Depends on your usage.
