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

For me to play games mostly
Been missing out on a lot of games with a 3 year old laptop.
And hopefully this desktop can last me a number of years.

Probably no OC or any other advanced stuff.

oooooh, somehow it didn't occur to me to look in the first page I'll take a look
Meanwhile, I'm not in a rush to get the rig, is there anything new in a month or two that I should wait for ?

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Sorry, I have been way outdated with this.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.

Hi sifus, its me again

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'm also in the same boat as you. Have sent out few emails asking about this and these are the only replies so far.

PC Zone Computer:
No extra charge for CC, BUT
5% extra charge for installment of Maybank and Public Bank.
I got a quote from them for a 3.2k rig with a RM50 discount if you pay by cash

All IT:
2% CC charge
3% AMEX charge
0% installment for Maybank, CIMB, RHB, Am Bank.

I just typed out their reply to me.
Although, by my understanding it should mean no extra charge for installment with the above CCs, but should include the 2/3% CC charge.

Best to call/email them and ask, since I have not followed up as I'm not buying the pc that soon.
