Nice rigs. However bare with me as I not a tech-sawy guy and have some questions and I'd never tried building one myself.

1) Say I'm interested in 1 of the rigs so do i just slap the list to lowyat vendors for quotations and they'll build up for me? Or I've to pick up each component separate and build it up like a LEGO?

2) Is it me or i just dont notice any sound cards in the rigs? (Maybe i just cant differentiate which component is sound card?

3) Also I'm assuming chassis as well as OS is seperated from the list as well?

I'm looking forward in building a gaming + sound blasting desktop(got a altec lensing wolfer for that ) and would appreciate if anyone could advise me on the questions above!

Thanks for the reply man! Well currently I'm on a 2.5k to 3k budget but am willing to go up to 3.5k if the performance justifies the price hike

I've read up on components therefore the following would be my imagination of specs:

processor: intel i5 processors sounds good enough for me. i7's are said to be overkill because not much games supports HT for now? Tho im not sure which model of i5 processors would be good enough

ram: up to 12GB rams with 1333MH bus speed.( no preferences in brand tho)

harddisk: i guess a normal harddisk with 500/1T shud work for me. Not sure if SSD performs better?( Though i saw a notable boot up seed for Windows. Not sure for gaming)

GPU : i only know brands e.g ATI and GeForce. Not sure what make is better in terms of specs.

PSU, Mobo etc are components i have no idea of what make to be used.

Hopefully u can advise me with a better build / insight on my future to be desktop!

Everything seems nice! One more question tho.. Does overclocking matter much? I've seen people posting overclocking their processors to say achieve higher FPS for games?(Sorry if the technical terms are faulty cause i cant tell which is which)

And also do you happen to know any reputable vendor in lowyat? I had friend once made a rig there only to realize some components inside were'nt as he specified when his desktop broke down and sent for a fix.

I guess monitor is fine but does the monitor you suggest supports high res?(something like 1280*720)

Again thanks for the reply!

Right thanks for the reply! I see your rig has a sound card so if you don't mind me can u provide some feedbacks on choices of soundcards? I had a lensing subwolfer(which i think is fairly good) so therefore im looking forward to get 1 in my new rig. Does standalone sound cards differ alot then the integrated's 1? If so how much? What sound card do you suggest? Say in the range of 400?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Right! In a nut shell tech-noobies like me should stay off OC the processors right?
Will definitely looked up on your suggestions bro!

I suppose they have advisors like in the shops right? Maybe might have to scale down the budget abit if my
parents aren't that happy with the pricing

Normally how long would it take them to assemble all the parts together? Also do i have to worry anything
about the BIOS?

Right! Then again what about the warranties? only tied by the vendor itself only right?
I have a list of viewnet's product from here http://www.viewnet.com.my/downloads/viewne...y_pricelist.pdf
so is it safe to say any components not listed in it could be potentially obsolete products?
Now u reminded me of such scam's i'd might be worried up a little

They are vendors as well? In your opinion it's preferable to perform transactions with them as towards shops in lowyat?
