hopefully no problem cuz will make my purchase next saturday

btw if the rig no GPU, can i watch normal rmvb,avi and stuffs? and I dont gaming on this rig..

another question:

• Gigabyte N400A PSU-RM100 (PCZone)
• CM Elite 343 Casing-RM99
or
• Casing+psu combo RM59

Intel Pentium G850 RM199
MSI H61M-P31-RM149
WD Caviar Blue 500GB RM169
LiteOn DVD Writer-RM60
Casing+psu combo RM59
Router mr3420

Appreciated your reply to post! 

I have customised one by myself but I have very few knowledges in this thing so please help me to check whether this will work or not. Thanks a lot!

Purpose: No games, but a lot of 3D rendering works. Softwares like 3dsMax, Photoshop, Aftereffects, etc. So I need speed for these.
Core i7-3770 3.4 (RM 925) K version or non-K? price is for K variant though
MSI MS 7758 Z77A-G43 (rm389) can change to H77 or B75 chipset boards, as Z77 chipset is a waste for non OC proc[/
Sapphire HD 7850 (RM695) maybe get a higher end one like HD7870? better performance
Kingston KVR1600 DDR3 8GB x2 (RM250)
WD Caviar Blue HDD 1TB (RM233)
Silverstone Strider ST60F-ES 600W PSU (RM265) if youre not gonna OC, then 600W is too much
Cooler Master Elite  431 Plus (RM159)

Total: RM 2916

While I am still deciding on Casing fan:
CM 120MM Silent Fan RM26 per unit
or
Arctic Cooling F12PWM RM29 per unit

and is one unit enough?

------------------------------------------------------------

AND any square monitor to recommend? Medium siZed will be enough.
Thanks for your reply!

What if i don't OC but i still stick with the processor because i <3 Intel! 
Will that affect my overall performance?

Hi ! thanks for your speedy reply as Im really in a rush for this. LOL.

BTW, i look through SSD price and its too expensive I guess.

For the i7 it's a non K version, K version costs RM1039 here. I'm in Penang but what is it supposed to cost? I think I'm not OC-ing this.

For motherboard, if I change to MSI MS7798 B75MA-P45 (RM229)will be alright? or you recommend ASUS or Gigabyte?

For graphic card, hmm, I think HD7850 is my budget limit already. hahaha. Not wanting to spend much on cards anyway...

For PSU, if 600 W is too much, 500 W will be alright?

Added on December 1, 2012, 1:18 amYou mentioned RM888 for i7 in previous thread. Wow. Its really some gap there.

And~~I just noticed this, is SSD not hardisk but an extra add-on besides the HDD?

I think i'll probably build this up on this coming week. Please guide me is there anything that i lack out? Is it necessary to purchase sound card and NIC as well?

Processor: Intel i7 3770/3770k
Motherboard: Considering (Need suggestion for compatible performance) (if OC then H77 or Z77 board for easy to OC, if not B75)
GPU: SAPPHIRE HD 7970 3G OC GDDR5 PCI-E/ MSI GTX 670 PE 2GB
PSU: Undecided (go for Enermax NAXN 650W if youre gonna OC or any 600+W PSUs like Silverstone, Seasonic, Corsair)
Optical Drive: ODD-DVD+RW
HDD-WD Caviar Blue 1TB
RAM-Kingston 8GB D3 PC133 x 2 (Total of 16GB)
Casing: Undecided (CM cases are decent , can try Xigmatek Asgard Pro or Bitfenix series)
SSD:  Intel 320/520 120GB

Any idea on how to continue this halfway build?

Planning to go to lowyat tomorrowor Sunday, so can pls suggest me any config ?

Sry, the price is without including the monitor, only the rig. And many thanks for the reply. But pls do continue, I wanna read your insight. I just wanna play game at proper setting, and within a few years can still play at medium, thats all.

But i tends to buy at one shop and let them set everything up and i'll just pick it up when it's finished cuz I dunno how to set up a computer. So, I don't think price flexibility is within my usual means. Pls advice me in this.

Thanks, love the reply and I feel like going already. Googling corsair carbide right now

Btw, I downloaded kingkingyyk's PC recommendation and currently looking at this. Please put forth what you guys think about this :

Intel Core i5 3330 [googling ... ]

WD Blue 500GB [depends on me]
LiteOn DVD Drive [same]
Casing of Your Choice [any plus on corsair carbide ?]
Seasonic S12II 620W [seasonic or FSP or Silverstone, googling ...]

Thank You!

sounds pretty nice... cooling optional izzit?

where can i get those hw..

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!

So can i just bring this list n they can assemble it for me..?
