state your budget.

3-4k? sry forget to state.. no need to include windows and keyboard those.. just CPU and monitor..

CORE I5 3470 1155 3.20 6MB	RM559
MSI H77MA-G43 1155 VSGL	RM289
DDR3 8GB PC1600	RM129
SAPPHIRE 7870 XT 2GB D5 256	RM849
WD 1TB SATA 3	RM199
DVD-RW 24X SATA	59
COOLER MASTER STORM SCOUT	RM269
NERMAX NAXN82+ 550W 80Plus Bronze	RMRM215
Monitor Dell u2312hm	RM589

559+289+129+849+199+59+269+215+589= RM3157

- JaY - You can enjoy HON at stable 60FPS all the time.

- Bcoz Z77 has the OC features and Xeon's won't be able to utilize those features and that means wasted.Only got extra sata ports that might be useful..
- Depends.Wanna go large?can consider Caviar red 2TB at RM370.U can change the monitor to a smaller one like Dell U2312HM at RM569-589

I see... That's true.

Wah, HDD still that expensive huh... Hmm... I MAY need to lower the GPU if all else fails. I really need at least 3TB though

I forgot to mention, is the Acer monitor you mentioned the correct name? Couldn't google it. It was Acer HS2440HQ

hi thx for ur recommendation, but i'll prefer with SSD+SATA setup.. wanna try SSD lol. and i5 3470 enough? no need 3570?

Add in another ssd cost u around RM300+, still within your budget.
i5 3470 and 3570 performs very similar.

Can anybody give me links to the latest pricing that you guys are referring to? I wanna do some homework on the pricing

Just google for malaysia's hardware pricing

Or head to jayacom, viewnet or all IT website for their respective pricelist

Or check out the Garage Sales sellers like lingloong, CyntrixTech, zhen^wei etc for their pricing too

try google hardwarezone.com

Jayacom selling it for RM700..has 3D features,120Hz refresh rate,2ms response time..good for gaming and such

the 3d screen, need 3d glass or no need?

It's in the package together..

Just add 120GB SSD for RM300 as primary drive.

But I rather spend the RM300 to get better card.

You pick your choice for your extra budget.

Faster game loading speed, or better performance on gaming.

Well, I would but since I don't know if the pricing is updated or not. Cable707 just replied very fast as if he has the brochure on his computer or something. That's why I wanted to know where he got his price from

But I can't google it. Can you make sure the name is right? Unless the seller himself put it wrongly.
Anyway, 3D is an overkill. I would never (probably) game on 3D. Even watching movies on 3D hurts my eyes


Another question. Is it recommended that I drop SSD to get 2x2TB? If you need to refer my recommended build, it's in the page before. I want to get the SSD, buthaving a HDD of 4TB is A MUST.

usually we got our prices from the viewnet, jayacom, all it pricelist

anything else is based on Garage Sales seller's pricelist

mostly are very up to date as hardware prices changes often

From the brochures? Is it the one on lowyat home page? If it's updated, then I would get it. Heard before that it wasn't updated or anything.

Just what I need. Thanks!
