After much reading, I'm stuck between the choice of a Sapphire 7950 which costs ~RM1000 and the Gigabyte 670 which costs ~RM1500. Huge difference, i know. What do you guys think about it? Is it worth paying that extra RM500 for the 670? My main concern right now is achieving a stable ~30fps @ 1920x1080 on highest/almost-highest settings on games such as Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite in the near future. Thoughts? Excuse any hint of arrogance as I have minimal knowledge when it comes to hardware.

Leadtek GTX 670 cost RM1149 from Viewnet price list.

Hi guys.
I'm currently using the Acer M7720 with the HD4870 card that I want to change.

How do I know what cards do I have as a choice to replace my current card?

Any recommendations of cards with a budget of RM300-400?

I can't play high spec in games like GW2 and Planetside 2. Getting 20-30 fps on medium-high in BF3.

300-400 enough?

ASUS and Gigabyte's cards are pricey, you may opt for Leadtek GTX670, which is priced at RM1149 which is close to the HD7950 price range. Also theres not much difference between the two manufacturers besides their clock speed, cooler etc. overall performance are similar

Also, as shown on my previous link, the difference between these two cards are negligible. Also, the GTX670 and HD7950 is a high-end tier card. This means that itll be able to last you maybe 2 years max depending on how long it can last before the next worthy upgrade

Personally, i suggest you opt for the HD7850 at RM600+, which gives you a considerable difference in performance

You can get an artic F12 PWM 120mm fan from C-Zone for RM25 each. Great performance and quiet fan

These are still available?? last I check everywhere was out of stock

Can't find them either. I could only find the Arctic Cooling F12 Pro TC fans from Viewnet for RM19 each.

Asking, are Pentium D still capable to play 3D online games?
I've a PC from last 5 years ago which setup roughly as below but didnt remember exact model and details;
1. Pentum D 2.0GHz
2. Gigabyte motherboard
3. 2GB Ram
4. Cap ayam PSU and GPU.
All of this, I plan to change PSU & GPU or maybe add more another 2GB Ram. Please advise.

What are the 3D online games that you plan to play? Find out the exact model of your GPU by downloading GPU-Z. If it's good enough you can save some money.

hi guys i want to ask opinion is this rig good for gaming, i more prefer AMD processor, feel free to komen and want to ask ur opinion about graphic card as well.


Silverstone Strider + 600Watt 80+ Bronze3 Years
Asus Crosshair V USB3 SATA6
Sapphire HD7770 Vapor X
AMD FX 8320
Corsair Vengeance 4gb
Silverstone Redline
SEAGATE 7200RPM 2TB


thank you

Why that mobo? any plan to CF-X/SLI? OC?

i am thinking gonna try cross fire in the future

Not to spoil your mood but Intel have far exceed AMD in procs department. Its really your choice. http://www.techspot.com/review/615-far-cry...ance/page6.html

I try to reduce the mobo price featuring both X16 slot dual run at 8x and the selection are Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0, ASrock 990FX Extreme3 and MSI 990FXA-GD80 where the ASrock and MSI i cannot confirm if they can run at 8x in CF-X/SLI mode

That way you should have RM1000+- left and pick HD7870 or GTX 660 ti.

Hmm I'll try boosting my budget then.

But I don't have to buy a new PSU or fan right since whatever's inside my current Acer is sufficient?

It should be enough, based on what power supply Acer says the M7720 comes with ( 500W / 750W / 1000W ).

Question : Would there be anyone willing to buy a used casing and PSU only? Because I want to sell my bitfenix shinobi and 550W enermax and upgrade to carbide 400r+enermax 650W is there any "cases" where people do this?

How's the case condition ? Damn I am interested. PM me !

There are plenty of people who are interested in buying used chassis and power supplies. The chances of you getting them sold together is not as large as it is getting them sold separately though. It will also be more profitable if you sell them separately.

mmm icic thanks. I want to sell them together because I want to use the money right away to get the new ones after top up cuz not enough money for the new set yet.
