hi guys. need a recommendation for around rm2.5k build minus these items:

1- psu
2- keyboard/mouse
3- monitor

and must have a 120gb ssd for booting and some games. plus the casing supports usb 3.0.

thanks!

target game is crysis 3 1080p at high 60fps, and metro last light very high 1080p 60fps. (the smoke on metro is veryyyy terrible on lower settings)

needs at least a gtx680

with that budget i dont think u can achieve 1080p 60fps in metro last light

He will need a GTX Titan/upcoming 780 for that, or a dual GPU setup to do that.

Yup either titan/690 or dual gtx680/dual7970
But sure over budget already

adoi... hmm.. ok then. just medium can already as long as solid fps. T_T

i think i5 3570k is quite good, later can change cooler to corsair h800i can oc kaw2 already.

U mean corsair h100i?
Btw to play those games 7870xt + i5 3570k is enough at mid high

and at mid high setting is already beautiful eh
*expectancy for poorfag like me is verryyy low*

Actually it's good enough already
And the 7870xt can be overclocked to 7950 levels

yeah its good, seriously.

my spec playing crysis- i5-3550 + leadtek gtx 550 ti. -setting medium-low fps average 30-50

still to me, its already beutiful~

ya lor. 7870xt 760-770 only.

after an hour browsing garage sale, heres my rundown

i5 3570k
asrock z77 pro 4m
cmstorm scout 2
sapphire 7870xt boost
corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz

altogether around 2.3k.

any thoughts? also looking to put a 120gb SSD for OS/games but still no clue which model, havent catch up on ssd technology yet.

already got:
enermax naxn 650w 80+bronze
dell 23" lcd
1.5tb wd currently for os/storage/games

That's a great configuration already
Intel ssds are good for reliability

or plextor for RM299

Well actually you won't fee too much different here.
a good GTX 670 can bring you all the high graphic performance game.

My set up i can start Crysis 3 while watching HD movie on another screen at the same time with all the setting at MAX and no lag.

getting high end graphic card is just for the reading and that is just reading which does not contribute to much we can detect with our bare eyes.

hello, is there any shop in lowyat have stock for this item :

intel g2020
asrock b75m
sapphire hd7750
any ddr3 ram.

im from sarawak btw. planning to ask my gf to buy it for me since stock in sarawak(kuching) is very limited.

sry for asking noob question, is the mobo work with the processor?

yeap a lot of shops in lowyat have these items
and the processor will work fine with that mobo
try viewnet because prices are cheap

orrrrrr should i wait another 2 3 months for haswell and gtx7 series to arrive?

did anyone catch up on the sandy bridge price after ivy comes out? did the price went down a lot or just a little?

Even if you wait for GTX700 series, the high end ones will be released. You will need to wait for quite a while before it trickles down to lower tier cards.
I don't think the prices of SB dropped much despite the launch of IB. But Haswell boards can be slightly more expensive at launch.

Need a suggestion on the cheapest m-atx or mitx pc.

front end htpc basically. so case need to be small (smaller than prodigy)

no more than 1k, excluding speaker/screen/keyboard/mouse

I guess silverstone sg02 may fit your needs.

Intel G2020 RM169
ASROCK H61M RM139
Kingston 4gb ram RM94
Seagate 500gb HDD RM159
ACBEL ME2 / E2 300W RM89
Any DVD-RW RM59
SILVERSTONE M-ATX SUGO SG02B/W RM299

Total RM1008
