Hey guys I'm interested in upgrading my old rig so that i can play recently released games at possibly the highest settings with a stable FPS.

Budget: <RM2500

Purpose: Gaming

Hardware that will be reuse from old rig: ~500W PSU, Monitor, 8GB DDR3RAM, Harddrive, Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers.

Location: Subang Jaya

Essentially, I need a recommendation on a Processor + GPU pairing, accompanied with a decent motherboard. All for less than RM2500 if possible.

Thanks in advance smile.gif

[Personal Preference Brand] would like to try amd

hi everyone. i wanted to ask about triple screen thingy and the spec of computer needed to work with it. currently mine is too outdated for gaming. needed information for triple screen
thank you

hmm.gif Triple display setup... I would suggest you to look into the Sapphire Flex range of GPUs... They should allow you to do triple display setups without active DisplayPort to DVI connectors.

Then consider the following instead:
Sapphire HD7970 Vapor-X OC-RM1499
Crucial M4 128GB SSD-RM339
Note that you may need a Active DP->DVI adapter.

Alternatively, you can consider this:
ASRock Z77 Extreme4-RM465
Second Sapphire HD7950 Flex (in CrossfireX)-RM1099
Crucial M4 128GB SSD-RM339
Rosewill Capstone 750W-RM429

Hi, need some advise from you guys.

I plan to upgrade my pc especially for web browsing, watching bluray movie and playing games like L4D or L4D2, The Sims & etc.

Intel Core i5 3470 RM585.00
Asrock Z77E - ITX RM479.00
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB RM225.00
FSP Hexa 500w RM150.00
GPU: need recommendation for you. Budget RM500
WD Caviar Blue 3.5" Sata III 500gb RM179.00
Casing: Can I use my old tower chasing?
Monitor: already have
DVD: already have

TQ! notworthy.gif

Why you use a mini-ITX board on a tower case?
...and that board isn't cheap...
Consider a MSI Z77MA-G45 for RM309... mATX case...
RM500 is a really bad price point for GPUs... Top up a bit for a HD7850 1GB for RM579..

hi everyone!

after finalizing my choices, here is my future rig gonna be like. please comment
still need some suggestion on casing psu fitting since i am still going back and forth with itx or m-atx build for my htpc gaming rig lol (games include sims 3, dota 2, civ 5 etc, at 1080p or lower depends on game.)

anyway

m-atx (more flexible i suppose.
i3 3220 or i5 3470 or i5 3570
Asus H77M pro or GIGABYTE H77m d3h for m-atx
Asus HD 7750 (rm 299 at c-zone) or Sapphire HD 7750 ultimate (rm 365)
sg 09 or gd05 or gd06
please recommend psu that will fit the casing and meet my needs, im thinking i would need at least 400-500w
hard disk would be 2tb wd green or blue or seagate.
lite-on dvd-rw worth rm60
kingston value ram 4gbx2 or 8gb?
itx build
i3 3220 as any higher might be too hot for smaller casing?
GIGABYTE H77N-WIFI itx
Asus HD 7750 or Sapphire HD 7750 ultimate (will the casing fit this card?)
bitfenix prodigy or ft03 mini for itx or any of the m-atx casing since they will fit the itx board too right?
hard disk would be 2tb wd green or blue or seagate (the casing will fit this right?
please recommend psu that will fit the casing and meet my needs, im thinking i would need at least 400-500w
lite-on dvd-rw 24x
kingston value ram 4gbx2 or 8gb?

budget rm 2k more or less. i am tempted to get ssd but do u think it will be necessary?

really appreciate your kind advise. already discarding amd option since i want a discrete GC.
*
mATX? Try this?
i3 3220-RM369
ASRock B75M-DGS-RM189 (Idealtech@Garage Sales)
Kingston 1x4GB Value RAM-RM55
ASUS HD7870 DirectCU II-RM879 (C-Zone) (w/Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution games)
WD Caviar Blue 1TB-RM214
FSP Hexa 500W PSU-RM149
Silverstone PS08-RM129 (Idealtech@Garage Sales)
LiteOn DVD Writer-RM60
Total: RM2044
Prices from Viewnet.
FT03 mini build is going to blow your budget hard. You will need a SFX PSU, and a SFX PSU isn't cheap.
The PS08 is smaller than the Prodigy, volume-wise.
If you are really going into mini-ITX cases, take a look at the Sugo SG08/05. But they aren't very cheap. (Though they come with SFX PSU).

How about the Corsair CX430?

Should be pretty reliable...
Not much quality 140mm PSUs here actually... Unless you are willing to get SFX PSUs for that... but they are not cheap.

Make sure you have a good CPU as well. GTA V is likely to be CPU-intensive (just like GTA IV)

How about +RM120 for a Palit Jetstream instead? brows.gif
IMO, the U9B isn't a good choice... The cooling performance is around a Hyper TX3.... However, it's small which means it can fit into most cases (and including small form factor cases)

You will need to look for AMD boards for that... or get a SATA card to do that.
