i like the way u comment on the specs, but comparing both specs, aside from the monitor, which spec is better? both around the same price, i can swap the monitor away

I dun think so.It is recommended to have some space on power instead of cukup-cukup makan only..

get h77 board instead of z77 and get gtx 670 / 7950

Obviously the previous recommendations from WiLeKiyO is better, in terms of price
Maybe u just reduce some budget on mobo and casing can achieve the budget u set.
Let's say use a MSI B75MA-P45 mobo RM229 and pick a Casing around RM150+

Edit: Dell U2312HM is 23" with 1080p resolution, which is better than the 20" one with 1600 x 900p resolution. The price different between these two models are around RM250.

true, since youll never know what youll do in the future.

and reviews stated need at least 550W.. demmit, i better hope nothing unfortunate occurs

Hopefully..

Hey guys,

Can you suggest a rig for me, for RM1500 and also RM1000?
For home use (emails, word processing, internet), very light / no gaming.
Include monitor also.

Thanks.

Hello everyone. I am pretty much new in this forum. Please don't bite

Anyhow, I've got a budget of 2k and based on the recommendations of the contributors around here, I came up with this:

Core i5 3470
Sapphire HD 7850 Non-OC
Msi b75MA-P45
FSP Hexa 500W
Corsair 4gb PC1600
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
Silverstone PS08 casing
Lite-on 22x DVD-RW
TP Link TL722ND Wifi Adapter

Would this setup be good enough for med-high setting for RPG/FPS games such as dishonoured, torchlight2, rage, borderlands etc. If possible, I would like to cut off on some of the hardwares as long as there is no noticeable drop on performance. I would also appreciate if you guys could recommend a cheap >24" Full HD monitor as well. Cheers!

unfortunately, 24" monitors will be too pricey for you atm, they cost like >RM700 depending on brand

as for the setup, its good. but it would be better if you swap the card to a HD7870 instead. better performance than the HD7850. but you might need to downgrade the CPU to an i3 to fit into your budget

just recently ive set a friend's rig who have similar budget as you. you can check the previous page for what ive recommended for him

cheers

So I assume that the i3 would be sufficient for full hd gaming? And based on the conversation that you had regarding the PSU, do I need to change the FSP Hexa 500W to say Xigmatex VC Series 600W?

gaming relies on GPU more than CPU, so the i3+HD7870 are powerful enough for full HD gaming

as for the PSU, its better you get at least 550W for the HD7870 (recommended)
the Xigmatek VC series im not sure, not much reviews about its quality

you can try Enermax NAXN 550W RM215 from IdealTech though, great stuff ill say

Cheers man. Your recommendations fits perfectly well with my budget. Time to save some money for the monitor i guess. I'll just have to bear with my 720p 19" dell atm:D

Hi there. First time coming here.

Going to get a new pc soon. So I've been looking around and thinking about what sort of a system to get.

I was looking at something like;
- X6 FX 6300 (RM 499)
- Asrock 970DE/U3S3 (RM 209)
- DD3 4GB PC 1333 - 2 units (RM 138)
- Sapphire 6870 (RM 419)
- 1TB Western Digital (RM 199)
- DVD-RW 24x Samsung (RM 59)
- Silverstone ATX Redline RL01 (RM 179)
- 500W Silverstone Strider (RM 219)
- Samsung 20" LED Monitor (RM 319)

Total: RM 2240.

So, I would appreciate some advice on this system. Is it a good system?

The objective of getting the new system is so that my family can use the PC for their own thing. My sibling's request is that the system is able to play The Sims 3 and personally for me, I would like to play Sim City 5 when it gets released.
