hmm.gif very hard to get good rig specs, as the 1200p reso monitors are damn pricey

for example, Dell U2412HM is RM800++ compared to the U2312HM at RM589

try
Intel i3 3220 RM349
MSI H61M-P31 B3 RM155 or can upgrade to Asrock B75M-DGS at RM189
Kingston Value RAM 4GB RM54
WD Blue 500GB RM169
Sapphire HD7850 RM649
FSP Hexa 500W RM149 or Gigabyte Powerock 500W RM150+
CM K280 RM128
Dell U2412HM RM899
Total: RM2552

Sry, the price is without including the monitor, only the rig. And many thanks for the reply. But pls do continue, I wanna read your insight. I just wanna play game at proper setting, and within a few years can still play at medium, thats all.

But i tends to buy at one shop and let them set everything up and i'll just pick it up when it's finished cuz I dunno how to set up a computer. So, I don't think price flexibility is within my usual means. Pls advice me in this.

Thanks, love the reply and I feel like going already. Googling corsair carbide right now tongue.gif

Btw, I downloaded kingkingyyk's PC recommendation and currently looking at this. Please put forth what you guys think about this :

Intel Core i5 3330 [googling ... ]
MSI B75MA-P45 [same]
Kingston Value 8GB DDR3 [same]
MSI HD7870 Twin Frozr III [same?]
WD Blue 500GB [depends on me]
LiteOn DVD Drive [same]
Casing of Your Choice [any plus on corsair carbide ?]
Seasonic S12II 620W [seasonic or FSP or Silverstone, googling ...]

amounting to RM2400 .. supposedly

from what i know, the i5 3330 is clocked at a lower speed than the i5 3470 i recommended (3.0GHz vs 3.2GHz)

as for the GPU, the MSI version comes with Twin Frozr cooler. it helps improve cooling alot. also, the clock speed of the card may differs than the Sapphire version

for casing is pretty subjective really, besides its functionality and features, the design and look is important. pick the one that suits you best?

as for the PSU, Seasonic is a very well known brand. You cant go wrong with it. but the wattage seems overkill for a simple setup like above. a 500W with 80+ efficiency should be sufficient

Thanks mate, fell asleep in front of my laptop again. Anyway, I'm planning to get an original window, 7 Premium, I wonder how much to top up.

Anyway, will get back to you once I manage to get the rig set up.

Thanks for the suggestion.

For the mainboard, how does MSI H77MA-G43 differ from GIGABYTE H77M-D3H? Is the difference significant?

As for the RAM, which brand will be more suitable?

Pardon me for asking because my knowledge on this is not much. =x
Thanks in advanced

Google the model and compare it. Look at I/O port and expansion slot.
Any value RAM from kingston, corsair, g skill,crucial can be used.
