Just wondering why don't you guys include the price of the OS into the build. I know it's software but the price of windows is part of the build. Unless of course you plan to acquire in differently.

Haha , good one .

I have few opinion

1. I would suggest enermax naxn 82 + 750w bronze semi modular over the corsair tx/hx 750 , cheaper and semi modular

2. I would suggest gtx 680 4gb / hd 7970 toxic 6gb for triple monitor setup , multi GPU sometime got bugs and consume more power , also need a more expensive mobo

3. I suggest WD brand over seagate for HDD , reason is WD gives 2 years warranty , seagate 1 year only

4. For non oc , single GPU rig , I suggest either MSI b75ma-p45 rm224 , or gigabyte h77m-d3h rm299 . Actually there is another recommendation which is Asrock h77pro4/MVP rm299 but very difficult to get stock

5. No need performance ram , just stick with value ram , no real life performance different

6. Never get Samsung optical drive

Please add me as a contributor... tongue.gif
My recommendation as of 8/11/12 (updated):
My builds often revolve around small form factor (i.e. microATX or miniITX builds), with focus on size and performance.

Changelogs:
1. Swapped all Seagate 750GB HDDs to WD Caviar Blue 500GB HDDs.
2. Changed all Crucial M4s to Intel 330s due to lack of stock.
3. Some price changes.

The RM750 Everyday rig:-

Asrock H61M-GS does not fit into the Bitfenix Prodigy (from build 2- Nicholasontheway). Bitfenix Prodigy is a mITX - mATX is much bigger.

After that, each one go in an post 1 post in a new thread. This way everyone just update their own post, no need kacau TS. biggrin.gif ....... now why didn't I think of this earlier (eg 2007 till now) - i have no idea. LOL. maybe my brain cleaner now.

Added on August 20, 2012, 10:22 pmhrm. after going through 1st page - i guess you guys are already doing that. me slowpoke. nevertheless - I think we'll have to tidy up the thread a little.

I did mine too, but the problem is when this thread goes wild like 20++ pages, forumers can't find their desire build in that pile of mess, so I just copy mine and theirs and just make it into a blog! Nice and simple with title to go with, easy to find smile.gif

It will be cool if we can create a page with pull down menu for the components and total prices will be calculated at the end. Then update the price database every 3 months.

Option of selecting rig by price (maybe price brackets) or by purpose, also specify if need monitor or OS or peripherals. But someone need to actively look up the different offers in Garage Sales, unless the sellers are willing to send in the updates themselves.

Eg:

Default start page to include: Expected budget, option if to include monitor/OS/peripherals, and purpose (general/gaming/graphic workhorse/mixed)

Then upon selection, a preset configuration of recommended parts (for the set budget) will come out. At that page, user can select what they want to change as each component will have pull down menu with parts (and average price)

At the end, the new total price will be calculated, with info on where to get the components for best price.

both of you have similar specs tongue.gif.

anyway, as mention, since cybercafe rig don need any optical drive, can shave off and add on to graphics/monitor size. was wondering if HD7770 can handle full hd properly.

and chances is, i might go for case-less design..now just wondering, if i "Push OS" to the systems, will it be giving too much stress on the server pc. cause with this push os..dn need hard disk anymore

It will be cool if we can create a page with pull down menu for the components and total prices will be calculated at the end. Then update the price database every 3 months.

Updating the price for the components every 3 month is too long. Even 1 month is too long. It has to be done at least twice in a month since price for hardware changes pretty often. smile.gif

I'm pinning this thread. The previous thread's success was shortlived because TS go MIA tongue.gif myself being one of them.

initially it was my thread, all based on my recommendations. then later there's some other guy, i can't remember. biggrin.gif

now i hope SARX can do a good job updating la, while the rest just pm him to update the 1st post.

or better still, you can list out ALL the contributors. we give about 2 weeks to accumulate contributor list.

After that, each one go in an post 1 post in a new thread. This way everyone just update their own post, no need kacau TS. biggrin.gif ....... now why didn't I think of this earlier (eg 2007 till now) - i have no idea. LOL. maybe my brain cleaner now.

Added on August 20, 2012, 10:22 pmhrm. after going through 1st page - i guess you guys are already doing that. me slowpoke. nevertheless - I think we'll have to tidy up the thread a little.
*
Well thread can only be successful for reference guide as discussed alot of time before,
different user have different taste and opinion on their rig to be purchase.
Pretty sure you have seen a thread where the Thread Starter insist on AMD and other sifu will do what they do best to give reason why Intel currently taking the lead as best for bucks.

It is welcome without no doubt since for user like me it is easy to modified suggestion given to my own personal occur or using it to compare pricetag

but deeper discussion like setting up 3 monitor or any other situation will deprive the user to create their own thread.

biggrin.gif 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 ........ biggrin.gif 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

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 :

Well,
there are the matter of peripheral as well.
Even as Hardware section have multiple thread like Razer,Steelseries or Logitech
there are still alot of question asking recommendation from Hardware Question & Answer.

I will contribute my own custom rig list.
It is up to the user to sort things else,
perhaps help those in some thread where the question is so common
no one bother to reply in the thread laugh.gif

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.

Let's say you upgrade:
Keep : processor , ram , mobo.
Add : 1x 4GB RAM ( 70 ) , FSP Hexa/Gigabyte PoweRock ( 150 ) , Gigabyte 7850 OC ( 815 )

TOTAL: 1035

If you want to keep things under 1k, you can choose not to add the ram OR go for sapphire 7850 but you'll loose a year warranty.

Haha , good one .

I have few opinion

1. I would suggest enermax naxn 82 + 750w bronze semi modular over the corsair tx/hx 750 , cheaper and semi modular

2. I would suggest gtx 680 4gb / hd 7970 toxic 6gb for triple monitor setup , multi GPU sometime got bugs and consume more power , also need a more expensive mobo

3. I suggest WD brand over seagate for HDD , reason is WD gives 2 years warranty , seagate 1 year only

4. For non oc , single GPU rig , I suggest either MSI b75ma-p45 rm224 , or gigabyte h77m-d3h rm299 . Actually there is another recommendation which is Asrock h77pro4/MVP rm299 but very difficult to get stock

5. No need performance ram , just stick with value ram , no real life performance different

6. Never get Samsung optical drive

Thanks +1 this helps a lot.

I'm just a leisure gamer, enjoy the storyline more than the graphic, for years i'm using laptop for gaming, but nowadays my lappy not able to handle them very well. A machine that can handle regular/acceptable graphic quality will do fine for me.

Sure...what games are u playing lately? My msi 7850 oc serves me perfectly....e.g dota 2 ultra 65 fps, black ops ultra 80 fps.....still not yet do custom oc....u can do slight over locking with afterburner....it will push the card even further...but most of the time 7850 oc serves u right already laugh.gif

It depends on what are you gonna do? If you're a designer or rendering video then go for AMD which has 8-cores but cost alot cheaper...If for pure gaming then go for intel smile.gif If both then go for i7 the best

You could drop the H77 board for a B75 board and go for an OC-ed version of the graphics card OR other brands with better warranty

You could drop the H77 board for a B75 board and go for an OC-ed version of the graphics card OR other brands with better warranty

B75 board only provide 2 ram slot only...

k means the proc has unlocked cpu multiplier which is highly overclockable..
a proc can easily hit 4.5 GHz where there is no way a non-k proc can reach.. biggrin.gif
a non-k proc can be overclock too but maybe just a few hundred mhz..

Yes. IMO , H77 are not worth to consider at all since the price difference is roughly 20-30 depending on brand .

4x4GB RAM consumes more power and takes all the RAM slots. I suggest you take 2x8GB instead.

casing : cm elite 311  -->make sure the shop quoted u the model with "Plus" one, with USB3.0
mobo : asus p8z77-m  --> if I3 2100, i think better stick with B75 Chipset motherboard,save cost
cpu : i3 2100  --> u check with shop, now i3-2100 eol and change to i3-2120.
gpu : sapphire 6850 --> it is good if u still can found this at shop, if not then can consider 7770
psu : enermax naxn 500w --> ok one, another option is FSP HEXA 500W same price.
ram : Gskill 4gb 1333mhz  --> GSKILL TOP of the TOP, BEST of the BEST (Their Tshirt slogan !)  thumbup.gif
hdd : 500gb  --> go for WD 1T if budget allow.
dvd : 22x dvdrw --> no comment.

u can consider to change to :
Intel Core i5 3470
MSI B75MA-P45
Sapphire HD7770 Ghz Edition 1GB DDR5

no need G.Skill RAMs la, unless the reseller getting good commision. tongue.gif
not like G.Skill's tagline of 'GSKILL TOP of the TOP, BEST of the BEST' gives any benefit to him. I'll rather go for kinggy value rams that comes with lifetime warranty.

AssToast build looks good. smile.gif

My intended budget is about 3k but hopefully less. Main objective is to be able to play games like sleeping dogs, gw2 and other future games. I don't plan to oc and i might do some video rendering as i do record videos and 3d rendering. Thanks in advance sifu notworthy.gif

Old rig is giving out. Actually i would've still stick to it at least untill i can fork out a much higher budget but recently it has been suddenly crash out on same games namely sleeping dogs. Game will hang mid way and then it will restart by itself. Really not sure is it a hdd issue or the gc issue. Nonetheless it has been giving out signs that it is time for a new rig already hence 3k budget and even that is still kinda steep for me but i guess i'll try to manage. Thanks in advance for upcoming suggestions biggrin.gif.

What is the model number of that power supply? A lot of Huntkey power supplies are problematic. Only a few models can handle the actual load.

Is the I7 necessary? for gaming I5 will suffice. GTX670 is more future proof and will knock out that HD7770 to oblivion. Get the rig suggestion as per Cable707, good and well suited for that budget range.

Yes the Intel HD4000 can watch movie on high reso, mid game like maple, dota 2, dota, mat, blackshot all can support with nice fps...

Since your entertainment is on video the Intel HD4000 is more than enough smile.gif...you next time you would like to play demanding game like bf3 and mw3 you can just go for a 7770 or a even high end which is the the new 660ti...660ti price in Malaysia is more exp than his brother which is higher in performance...maybe after 1 year you would like a dedicated GPU and price may be fixed to it performance point smile.gif

still to that and save up smile.gif

I tips we learn here is don't believe on salesman smile.gif you're going for video rendering and light gaming...i7 will make the rendering process smoother...if you're doing 3d rendering then u need a dedicated graphic...stay with the Intel HD4000 for a year and save up to buy a dedicated graphic if u have the budget coz u're motherboard got virtual mvp which can fully ultilize the performance of the Intel HD4000 and dedicated gc...

Actually u're good to go ard smile.gif

I'm planning to upgrade my rig, the specs are pretty much dinosaur age...

Intel C2D E8400 3.0GHz
Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L
Kingston + Mushkin 4x 4GB RAM DDR2

Some china brand 550W PSU
CM690

ATi 4870
120GB Sandisk Extreme SATA 3.0 SSD + several HDD for storage

Okay, my main usage at the moment is targeting at photo editing and also batch encoding... video included too. Currently the system performance is very much bottlenecked by the processor, even when I'm just viewing on LR pic to pic when loading up the preview also will load both cores to 100% sad.gif

I'm looking to upgrade the processor, motherboard, and RAM and probably the case too since the external USB port does not support USB3.0.

My budget is RM2000, currently looking at the following

Core i5 3550
Motherboard -> open for suggestion since I'm not sure which chipset to go for etc. Budget about RM300-400
DDR3 value ram -> 4GB x3 (DDR3 --> tri channel?)

Plan to maintain for my GC and hard drives. PSU require an upgrade too? Different socket compared to 775 mobo?

If its video rendering and pic editing, best to get maybe an i7
If not an i5 will do.. As for mobo since you're not getting a K series processor (overclockable) , a H77 board will do.. Gigabyte H77-D3h or Asrock H77 around RM299 smile.gif
As for RAM try dumping in as much as possible.. 4GB 1333mhz x 4 =16GB ddr3 RM275+-
As for PSU , fsp hexa 500w 80+ RM150 or maybe Corsair GS 500w RM195 or Enermax 550w 82+ RM215

*
Reason why many suggest H77 is because has more sata ports for more HDD and SSD.. b75 is only limited with one sata 6gbps port.. Also it has more RAM slots... So the only reason why suggest H77 over B75 is because of future proof...smile.gif And the difference is very little B75 is priced at RM225+- and H77 at RM299 ... wink.gif

so the difference only in terms of storage capacity? no difference in gaming experience right? hmm.gif

No effects on gaming experience, just that if in the future u plan to add in more storage or SSD then u have to plug it into the 3gb sata port

seems like I got my info wrong.. yup they have the same amount of ram slots it seems.. Like Asstoast stated don't really have much difference in gaming but just more future proof..
Other than that if not mistaken H77 has that virtu mvp thingy that improves response time, improved video processing and smoother media playback and has low power consumption but its there for B75 too i think unsure.gif

If its video rendering and pic editing, best to get maybe an i7
If not an i5 will do.. As for mobo since you're not getting a K series processor (overclockable) , a H77 board will do.. Gigabyte H77-D3h or Asrock H77 around RM299  smile.gif
As for RAM try dumping in as much as possible.. 4GB 1333mhz x 4 =16GB ddr3 RM275+-
As for PSU , fsp hexa 500w 80+ RM150 or maybe Corsair GS 500w RM195 or Enermax 550w 82+ RM215

Thanks for the input! Will look into them and upgrade my rig accordingly smile.gif

Main differences between Z77 and H77 is the ability to OC? I don't plan to OC the new rig anyways, retired from these activity... I'll probably just upgrade again when its too slow laugh.gif

Would you mind scaling back 1 inch and go for 23 inch instead?
Because you'll get an IPS panel monitor for your budget.
i5 3470-RM579
Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H-RM299
WD Caviar Blue 1TB-RM235
Sapphire HD7850-RM732
Kingston 2x4GB Value RAM-RM132
LiteOn DVD Writer-RM60
Xigmatek Asgard Pro Casing-RM159
Gigabyte GE-N500A-C2 aka PoweRock 500W-RM155 (PCZone@Lowyat)
Dell U2312HM IPS monitor-RM589 (Dell Online)
Total: RM2940
The monitor is 23 inches, however this is an IPS monitor, which is better than common TN monitors in terms of color reproduction.

The specs are interesting. Out of curiousity, what is the nvidia equivalent of the HD7850? As for the monitor, it would be less of a hassle if I can just get all of the components in one place, thanks for that suggestion anyway.

The nVidia equivalent would be 560Ti-448 Core, but I doubt you can get it here.
The HD7850 is faster, more efficient (due to 28nm GPU) and it is a great overclocker. You can even overclock the HD7850 to GTX580 levels. flex.gif Not to mention the extra GB of VRAM is extremely useful on some games.

@SARX
I have added some new builds on the first page. Please inform me if there is any significant change in pricing. wink.gif

budget around 1000, from my asking thread, some said might get 500 from my old parts, so total around rm1500

If your radiator inside I don't think so. You can think about taking bitfenix prodigy because the lab function or you can take corsair vengeance casing. Both build for lan purpose.

corsair vengeance does look tempting.. say, since its a case for lan purpose, possible to fit in WC and bring it around? or shuld i stick to better air-cooler like noctua?

8gb should be enough but there is no harm if you were getting another stick~

If its video rendering and pic editing, best to get maybe an i7
If not an i5 will do.. As for mobo since you're not getting a K series processor (overclockable) , a H77 board will do.. Gigabyte H77-D3h or Asrock H77 around RM299  smile.gif
As for RAM try dumping in as much as possible.. 4GB 1333mhz x 4 =16GB ddr3 RM275+-
As for PSU , fsp hexa 500w 80+ RM150 or maybe Corsair GS 500w RM195 or Enermax 550w 82+ RM215

Was looking into the recommended mobo, and found out H77 boards (GA-Z77-D3H) from Gigabyte has this feature "Lucid Universal MVP Support" where else I don't see that function on the recommended GA-H77-D3H (or do you mean the GA-H77M-D3H instead?). Question now is does that feature actually work and worth paying the extra bucks for it? Most importantly works with any GPU or only the recent ones as I will be reusing my 4870.

So I was thinking if I got the more expensive board with that virtual mvp, then it would be a 'free' upgrade to my aging 4870? That is provided this actually works?

Hi guys, would like to get a recommendation for a download rig as my laptop just died. Rig will be running 24/7 and will be connected a lcd and to my lcd tv for movie playback, i.e. dual monitor. Any suggestions?

[Budget] - below RM1k
[Purpose] - download, movie playback through lcd tv, HD movies included.
[Hardware that will be reused from old rig] - Nil
[Monitor Resolution] - No need full HD
[Game or software used frequently] - Utorrent, Firefox, VLC

Will a desktop be better? Or should I buy another laptop?

Maybe can go for these :

Q1) Can anyone suggest a full setup for gaming for ~RM3000. Includes monitor and keyboard/mouse (Logitech Combo G100?) but may exclude speakers for now. Hopefully I can get a future proof (~5 years) desktop.
Also, I don't need it now, maybe end of next month. Is there any new tech that I should wait out for ?

Q2) I have never built a computer before. Is it possible that I have the computer assembled by the staff at the shop I buy at ? I know most sifus here suggest buying especially GCs from the forum, can I bring that to the shop and have the shop people assemble the computer for me ?
How hard and time consuming is it for me to do it myself ?

Thanks man

Yes, 3570K is recommended but it is priced at RM699. Regular i5 has limited overclocking headroom.

Regarding the OC,i saw some reviews,GD65's OC Genie II can easily OC i7 3770K to 4.2GHz..more than that,it based on how lucky u can stabilize them whistling.gif

Hi sifus, I have looked through the many lists and tried to adjust to what I want and my budget:

Intel i5-3570 (RM629)
MSI B75MA-P45 (RM224)
Kingston Value Ram 4GBX2 (RM124)
Leadtek(RM1120)/Palit(RM1299)/MSI OC(RM1299) GTX670
Seagate 750GB HDD (RM199)
Enermax 650W (RM269)
Coolermaster Elite 311 Plus (RM139)
LiteOn DVD Writer (RM60)
Logitech Combo G100 (RM78)

RM2842 ~ RM3025
Prices from the forum and Viewnet

Can the above work together ?
Is the motherboard good enough ? Any downsides ?
Of the GTX670s, are there any major downside to Leadtek over Palit over MSI? From the viewnet pricelist, is MSI GTX670 oc referring to MSI GTX670 Power Edition ?
What is the minimum can I go for the PSU ? Can I go as low as 550W or even 500W ?

Sorry, I have been way outdated with this. I just want something worth my money and not having to worry about it 2-3 years later.

Guys, if I were to change the stock fan of CM 612s and replace it with two 3rd party fans, which brand is most recommended?

Will there be noticeable improvement?
Or should I just sell off the CM 612s and get CM v6gt or ANTEC KUHLER H₂O 620 HYDRO CPU COOLER?

Thanks smile.gif

I plan to play game like bf3, mass effect, call of duty, company of heroes 2. It has been a while i didnt open my desktop probably around 1 year. So i have no idea if the current specs can support those games especially their sequels. I have no monitor as well but i heard dell 22-23 inch ips panel are goods. How much do they cost?

IMO, V6GT ain't worth yo.. your 612S should perform well if team up with good fans such as Scythe Gentle Typhoon.

all-in-one cpu water cooler is a bit pricey compared with same performance air coolers, but it is good if you don't like a big metal bulge on your motherboard..

noticeable improvement? well, hard to say regarding this.. it really depends on your setup and your expectations.

I concur. IF can top up to rm3k = a new system with GTX670 = more future proof.

Maybe he should try selling his rig now....
And save up RM500 with his old rig RM500
3k will be better than going on a budget...
Even he get a decend gpu, his cpu will bottle neck
So why not just chg the whole thing

ahh..ic, so v6gt is only win in terms of aesthetic only? Thought that dual fans would actually means it's better sweat.gif

Actually I don't mind of big metal tower stood inside my rig, in fact I feel much more orgasm and macho by that rclxm9.gif
But wouldn't deny that liquid cooler actually make our rig looks much clean and professional, dilemma sweat.gif

There are several build on the first page of the thread. with that budget, you can get a nice rig with a GTX670 that can handle most new games easily. Even better if you can increase budget to rm3k.

I agree with this. Top up abit more and get GTX670, more future proof and better performance. As BF3 is a GPU intensive game.

Hi sifus, its me again tongue.gif

I'm still exploring my build. Hope you can bear with me and offer some advice

Intel i5-3570
???
Value Ram 4GBX2
GTX670
Seagate 750GB HDD
700W
Casing
DVD Writer

My plan now is to get a mobo that is sli-compatible even though I'm just going to get one gtx670 for now. Maybe in the future I can get another gtx670 if future games get more and more gpu hungry.
And what is the lowest PSU I need to get if in the future I'm going to do sli ?
And what about casing ? Still can use CM Elite 311 or the likes ?
No plans on OC-ing though.

Is it possible to get a rig like that for ~RM3000 ? Lets say don't need monitor and keyboard/mouse.

I do think that GTX670 will be capable to withstand even 1-2 years more..even GTX470 can play most of recent games IINM.. smile.gif
FYI,not all games supports SLI.. wink.gif

That PSU, is not extreme edition isn't?. You may need to buy new PSU. E8600 is comparable to i3 2100 if IINM.
HD 4850 limit your game render to Direct X 10 due GC hardware.

Suggested upgrade if you don't want to buy whole new: SSD, maybe GTX 670 and PSU.

Hi, need help. I m not to well verse in putting together a pc, so most prolly i ll ask the shop to do it for me.

So, Whats the recommendation for a desktop for phot editing (mainly photoshop cs). My budget is Rm2.5k including monitor (looking at Dell IPS 23", or if you have any other recomendations? Also if you could recommend either using the intergrated GC or a dedicated ones. If i were to purchase the parts, where can i go to to buy n install.

Thanks.

Dell U2312HM
I7 3770
MSI/ASUS P8B75
2X 4GB Value RAM
1TB Carvia Blue
Casing of your choice-150
LiteOn/LG/Asus DVD Drive
FSP Hexa 500W

Around 2.5K depending on the parts you choose. You'll need to topup another 500+ to get a decent graphic card like the AMD 7770 or the Gtx 560 .

Shops are very subjective. It's up to you. Who do you feel comfortable with . note: sometimes smaller shops might offer better service and lower prices .

For GTX670, i think a 600w PSU would suffice for that system, since ur not OC-ing. Mobo can go for Asus P8H77-M LE. Casing can go for Corsair Carbide series, i.e 300R/400R/500R (which ever to suit ur needs)

Asus p8b75-m le and asus p8b75-m lx what is the difference?
And between asus and gigabyte which is better bcause i heard some bad things about gigabyte.
between fsp hexa 500w and silverstone strider 50+ is there any huge difference in quality because the price difference is kinda big like rm40.
Any other recommended casing since the ones you've recommended is not available in my place, they got cm Elite 311 which doesnt have usb 3.0. How about the cm elite 430 or thermaltake commander ms-i?

Take Gigabyte.cheap n as far as I know,there's no bad reviews on that mobo ATM.you can save a couple buck with it.regarding psu,FSP can do.i've built a rig using that psu before and until now,there's no problem with it..and for the case,u can proceed on choosing Thermaltake MS-I..it has front USB3.0,rite?go ahead.. wink.gif

if u want peace of mind and better warranty service, get asus. i'm not guarantee that the asus one doesn't have problem but the chances is lower and service is better. p8b75-m le has LucidLogix® Virtu MVP , the other one doesn't. this feature will slightly boost ur gpu performance.

fsp hexa is much cheaper compare to other same watt psu doesn't mean it's bad quality. it just that it priced lower than others. u can look at the gpu side like the leadtek brand and others, leadtek has up to rm100 or more in difference compare to others.

the thermaltake commander ms-i is a good alternative if it's the usb 3.0 version. smile.gif

i actually do survey for most of the hardware parts from time to time and i did come across to this new tomahawk 500w. what i can see is that model isn't a 80+ rated, maybe that's why nobody is recommending that. it's good for some rigs that gpu doesn't need power plug but with a psu that can long run coz they wanna avoid cap ayam psu tongue.gif for ur case, with a gtx 670 gpu, a minimum 80+ rated true power psu is recommended.

get enermax naxn 550w rm215 instead if u can top up smile.gif

Some Intel Board

I think 6950 wins by a fraction, but depends on game and resolution i guess. 7850 consumes lesser power.

mATX can have good cooling if the case is well designed.

Wanna OC? Get a P8Z77-M and a Hyper 212 Evo and you're good to go. thumbup.gif
Forget about performance RAMs as they will bring no increment in performance in real life.

Hi everyone, i'm building my first desktop rig which will be used for gaming (bros play ps2 emulator, battlefield 3 and WOW) whereas i use it to watch movie (1080p)...the following is my rig:

i5 3570K-->RM740
SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON HD 7850 256bit 2GB DDR5 (PCIE 3.0) - OC Version-->RM797
ASUS P8Z77-V LX-->RM430
1000GB Western Digital 16M SATAIII - WD10EALX / WD10EZEX-->RM262 (not sure if this is caviar blue 7200rpm)
CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 (4GB 1600MHz x 2) - Vengeance Dual -->RM262
CM STORM ENFORCER-->RM288
CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600watts -->RM318

total RM3097

any recommendation and advice? Budget would be RM3.5K

my primary concerns are the power supply, and motherboard.
For mother board, any better suggestions? also, what is the difference between ASUS P8Z77-M and ASUS P8Z77-V LX besides the price:p...In terms of power supply, i tried using neweggs calculator and it says ~450W...is 600 gaming series above enough...a side note is that i have an extra caviar green 2Tb HDD to add on including one DVD-RW optical drive...as for RAM, is it advisable to use CORSAIR vengeance dual 1866Mhz? would it make any significant difference?any advice are greatly appreciated!


Thanks so much in advance!:D

u dont need performance ram as they dont have much effects on games.As for the p8z77-m and the p8z77-vlx is that vlx has more PCIE x1 and PCI slots which are not important and the VLX is an ATX board. where are u buying all these? they are kinda expensive.

do u overclock ur cpu? if not no need 'k' series cpu and z77 mobo, core i5 3450 and msi h77ma-g43 is good enough

can consider this if u no overclock

intel core i5 3450 rm564
msi h77ma-g43 rm319
kingston value 4gb x2 rm124
leadtek gtx 670 rm1120 (boonykun @ garage sales)
wd blue 1tb rm249
enermax naxn 550w rm215 (lingloong @ garage sales)
corsair carbide 400r rm299 (lingloong @ garage sales)

total rm2890 (prices from viewnet unless stated)

since there's still budget, can consider grabbing an intel 330 120gb ssd rm319

Hi AssToast, thanks so much for the reply and advice! yeah the prices are a bit expensive as i'm getting them from swisspac/pcdepot (not sure if there is any other reliable supplier in penang)...anyway, i have some queries on the set you listed:
1) why do i need a CM Hyper 212 EVO and not use the standard issued intel heatsink?
2)for the graphics card, AMD radeon 7850 is not good enough for my purposes?:S
3)is seasonic 620W better than the corsair gaming GS600W? i read many forums saying corsair is good enough...

thanks in advance...biggrin.gif

erm, i do overclock sometimes (for learning/testing purposes) and would like to have the option when the time comes:P thanks for the help anyway!:D appreciate it!:)

1)Well, when u overclock it gets hotter than usual so u wanna make sure the processor is cool
2)7850 is good enough but since u have enough budget for an GTX670, why not?
3)Corsairs are good but seasonic are better

Added on August 31, 2012, 11:45 pmI suggest u get the parts from idealtech / Cyntrix / lingloong and have them post them to u, it would be cheaper. you could even have them assemble the parts then post it to u. i personally prefer idealtech

Oh, make sure you get the 3770K instead of the 3770 because the 3770K has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking.

Hi everyone, i'm building my first desktop rig which will be used for gaming (bros play ps2 emulator, battlefield 3 and WOW) whereas i use it to watch movie (1080p)...the following is my rig:

i5 3570K-->RM740
SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON HD 7850 256bit 2GB DDR5 (PCIE 3.0) - OC Version-->RM797
ASUS P8Z77-V LX-->RM430
1000GB Western Digital 16M SATAIII - WD10EALX / WD10EZEX-->RM262 (not sure if this is caviar blue 7200rpm)
CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 (4GB 1600MHz x 2) - Vengeance Dual -->RM262
CM STORM ENFORCER-->RM288
CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600watts -->RM318

total RM3097

any recommendation and advice? Budget would be RM3.5K

my primary concerns are the power supply, and motherboard.
For mother board, any better suggestions? also, what is the difference between ASUS P8Z77-M and ASUS P8Z77-V LX besides the price:p...In terms of power supply, i tried using neweggs calculator and it says ~450W...is 600 gaming series above enough...a side note is that i have an extra caviar green 2Tb HDD to add on including one DVD-RW optical drive...as for RAM, is it advisable to use CORSAIR vengeance dual 1866Mhz? would it make any significant difference?any advice are greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance!:D

I'd rather go with this:-
i5 3570K-RM689
ASUS P8Z77-M-RM339
WD Caviar Blue 500GB-RM194
Kingston 2x4GB Value RAM-RM132
Fractal Design Core 1000 mATX casing-RM180 (CyntrixTech@Garage Sales)
Leadtek GTX670 2GB GDDR5-RM1120 (boonykun@Garage Sales)
Enermax NAXN 550W PSU-RM215 (lingloong@Garage Sales)
Noctua NH-U9B CPU cooler-RM189 (Hikari85@Garage Sales)
Total: RM3058
You do not need faster RAMs. 1333MHz is enough for this setup. 600W is more than enough for this rig. Heck, a quality 450W is enough for this.
Comes in small form factor some more.... brows.gif

i think find a buyer first and save up more...if you're doing pure rendering then get at least 3k to 3.5k to get better hardware...or not u'll stuck on with slow upgrading

yeap...bad controller with risk on corupting all the files on it...their new 820 ssd is the best! i think samsung sdd should be recommend for those guys who do hardcore randering...gaming m4 or intel 330 will do....

Intel 520, OCZ Vertex 4 and Samsung 820 ssd is very good and those who do rendering should go for that smile.gif

Guys,
do you think there is a need to wait for Win8 come out since some hardware like graphic card might need to be compatible or probably mobo and processor too?

The model of PSU. If so, then you`re better off getting FSP Hexa 500w

400-700 budget for GPU? top up abit more, can get 7850. More future proof.

the lower range of CM PSU are not that good, as in high failure rate and not reliable. Get something with True Power. Refer to the first page for the thread, all the sifus dont put CM PSU in their spec sheet. Not recommended.

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. hmm.gif

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? smile.gif

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.

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.
