When you buy a PSU, you prefer it to work well continuous mah.. Not work well 1 year, die.. Then RMA then rinse and repeat

Besides, PSU wattage decreases under prolonged usage.. Sooner or later youll need to change PSU too xD

Not more than 1k if possible and i dont need monitor. Kinda tight budget.

alrite bro thankss...

This is from my previous suggestion on 1k rig:

Yeah, I understand that 3 years is too much to ask in IT world.
Anyway, how about AMD platform? Is there a new gen processors coming soon?

Thanks mate. Looking at the recommendations, I can recycle my old desktop like the casing and power supply.

Upon re-use casing and power supply, the extra money u can spend on getting a better motherboard.
MSI B75MA-P45 RM229 (with USB3.0 and Sata3 port)

AMD will be an altogether diff story

Cause im less knowledgable on it too.. Leta wait for other sifus to update you instead

Alright. Thanks again. will definitely looking on that.

Can any sifu recommend what would be the best budget gaming rig for RM3k inclusive of monitor.
Thanks in advance =)

Sorry but have to ask. From the above specs, does a 405W power supply sufficient?

Yes the power supply is sufficient. The power consumptions of the specs should be less than 150W only.

i5 3470 RM564
MSI B75MA-P45 RM229
Kingston 4gb RM74
WD Blue 500gb RM169
Sapphire 7870 XT RM849
SEASONIC S BRONZE 620W RM299
Dell 23" Monitor U2312HM RM589
LG DVD-RW 22X RM54

TOTAL RM2977

You are welcome
Top up RM30~40 more can get 1TB.

Based on your draft:
B75 mobo RM229
4gb ram RM74
500gb HDD RM169
Sapphire 7850 RM639
FSP Hexa 500W RM150
Total RM1261

Even an i3 3220 cost around RM344 will over your friend's budget too. Plus, casing and dvd rom not included.
Do your friend play games a lot?
If yes, what games he played the most?
Any pc component that he might want to re-use? [such as HDD, casing, psu, etc...]

Looking for a gaming rig build meant for high-end usage. Budget is RM3000 and requires EVGA Geforce GTX. As for the requirement, it's supposed to be cheaper. If you can get a better price from other companies, put it in.

As for what I intend to use it for, online and offline gaming.
Online: LoL, Mechwarrior Online, Planetside 2.
Offline: Far Cry 3, DMC, Crysis 3 (when it is out)

Preferably quote me a rig that can run these things at high (not max) settings.

Let's try.

CORE I5 3570 1155 3.40 6MB	609
MSI H77MA-G43 1155 VSGL	RM289
DDR3 8GB PC1333	RM119
MSI GTX670 twin frozr iv 2GB D5 256	RM1449
1TB SATA 3	RM199
DVD-RW 24X SATA	RM59
Any case you like	RM200
ENERMAX NAXN82+ 650W 80Plus Bronze	RM269

609+289+119+1449+199+59+200+269

RM3193.

Hmm... is it possible to get any lower than that? Changing to a lower-grade GTX with the same 2GB DDR5?

Besides that, may I ask why you quote MSI GTX670 instead of EVGA?
