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! |

QUOTE(marfccy @ Jan 28 2013, 01:30 AM) 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? |

QUOTE(marfccy @ Jan 28 2013, 01:52 AM) 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 |
