any i5 would suit u, just that each i5 is clocked at different speed, lowest at 3.1ghz highest at 3.4ghz and the non K and K series chip(unlocked multiplier)

I see, I thought there are dual core and quad core i5. Actually, i7 is suited towards which types of users?



PSU meaning power supply? He says it comes together with the standard casing so I'm guessing its the very generic type.

I went to a shop in digital mall Section 14.

I checked the price list:
Intel Core i3-3220 RM389 RM545
MSI H61M-P31 RM149
Kingston Value RAM 4GB RM64 RM70
Sapphire HD7850 1GB RM619 RM799 only got 2GB
FSP Hexa 500W PSU RM149
Lite-On 22x DVDRW RM59
Gigabyte GZ-X Casing RM59

May I know which shop your referring to?

those dual core i5 are the laptop ones, i7 are more towards people that do rendering or they have more money to blow

u mean the i3 is RM545? if yes then really overpriced , anyways u can get the 7850 1GB from Lingloong
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/831632, plus u can get the whole rig from there

alternatively also can go find idealtech

yeah they are very trusted sellers

there was a dual core i5 but its the lowest 2nd gen Sandy Bridge which no one will recommend here lolz so don't bother

that shou is trying to con you, the i3 is too expensive, value RAMs nowadays are RM60 and the HD7850 price has dropped to about RM600

better to get your rig from LYN GS's reputable sellers like Lingloong, Cyntrixtech and Zhen_wei or scout around LYP before you commit

My friend was looking for a cheap casing, and I recall reading this cheap AVF casing being recommended here and there.. but I really have no idea how it looks like. Had a look at the Gigabyte GZ series, not bad for the price, not too cap ayam look. Thanks.

Hello, this is my very first time posting at here..
Recently my power supply and graphic card were dead..And i am looking for a replacement for both hardware..Any recommendation are welcomed.

For best result,i suggest u to sell off ur current rig n buy a whole new parts..

if u still wanna stick to this pc, u may simply grab

enermax naxn 550w rm215 (can use for future rig)
a used gtx 460 se rm300 +/-

this combination should do the trick for ur gaming. keep more money for bigger make over

if u worry about used item, consider

sapphire hd 7850 1gb rm619
sapphire hd 7850 2gb rm695

But i only have RM1500 for my budget..i dont think the money enough to buy a new rig even i sell off my current rig..
Anyway,thanks for your suggestion..i am still looking for another way, probably the best way..

i think ur rig will be able to fetch 500+, about RM2000, u could get something that can play everything smoothly

Try
SAPPHIRE E350 RM300
4GB RAM Mushkin RM54
BLU RAY RW RM300
COOLER MASTER ELITE 360/361 HTPC RM99
Gigabyte Powerock 390W RM80+-

hello..i need some advice from senior member here..i want to build a gaming pc for budget around 1.8k without monitor..can someone recommend me the best rig i can get for that budget..thanks

i prefer i5 2500k

+1, let's say cpu+mobo rm500
19' lcd rm200

total rm700+rm1500=rm2200, can consider

intel core i3 3220 rm380
msi b75ma-p45 rm224
kingston 1333 4gb x2 rm112
sapphire hd 7850 2gb rm695
wd blue 1tb rm239
fsp hexa 500w rm149
viewsonic vx2250vm rm350

total rm2149

casing and odd use old one

hmm, any particular reason for this 2500k ??

no reason actually but i though i5 2500k best for gaming..sorry if im wrong..other i5 olso can..so please help me

indeed, i3 is good enough for gaming, i5 is more optimum and balanced. u should focus more on the graphic card then the processor for gaming. perhaps can consider

intel core i3 2100 rm334
msi h61m-p31 b3 rm149
kingston 1333 4gb x2 rm112
sapphire hd 7850 2gb rm695
wd blue 500gb rm184
liteon dvd-rw rm59
fsp hexa 500w rm149
aerocool strike x one advance rm139

total rm1821 prices from viewnet, should get under rm1800 after discount

i see..i3 is good enough ya..so no need to waste money on i5 overall i like your suggestion and appreciate it..i will consider..thanks zero

hi sifus

what is the sufficient gc for 1024x1024 resolution?
to max out in game setting.

What monitor is that? TV?

Budget for the GPU?
