wd 500 gb/wd 1tb
fsp 500w

can somebody decide for me which is the bang for buck.i have increase my budget to 1400..can any sifu give sugesstion,im craving for help

That's a good list u got there

Intel core i3-3220-RM344
Mobo-Asrock B75M DGS-RM199
Ram-Corsair 4gb ram 1600mhz-RM119
GPU-Sapphire hd 7770 1gb-RM349
PSU-FSP Hexa 500w-RM149
HDD-WD blue 1tb-RM189
ODD-Any dvd player rm 60
casing-already have

total-rm 1409

yeah finally somebody reply

since i have dvd player.where can i throw that 60 ringgit.one more question which is better, gtx 650 or sapphire hd 7770..
thanks in advance

The HD 7770 is slightly faster:



Since u have the odd, why not take Leadtek gtx 650Ti 1gb-RM429

No point going for cheap or non K CPU then you wanna WC them..even a stock cooler are enough for a non K CPU

So,what i can suggest,wait a bit more for R9 290(non X version) which i heard cheaper(around USD449) and buy a Swiftech H220 and mod them..

hi, I wonder this rig will do. comment?

CPU- i5 3330 RM539
Mobo- Asrock B75M DGS RM199
RAM- Kingstone 8GB value RM220
GPU- SAPPHIRE R9 280X RM1200+- (still not sure which one yet)
HDD- WD Blue 1TB RM189
PSU- CoolerMaster GX 550W RM219
-no ODD-
Casing- CM N200 RM150
-total- RM2716

- For game (SC2, Crysis(s), Batman(s), 'Steams', BFs, CODs, some small MMO, some new titles)
- Lots of photo editing (Photoshop, lightroom)
- I try to keep the price down, is the CM GX 550W good for this setup?
- In future, I might go dual monitor setup, does is cost power from my PSU?
- Also price wise, is it worth to use haswell processor by adding RM120 more by swapping i5 3330 with i5 4430 and Asrock B75 DGS with B85 Pro4? lets say I'm in tight budget
- GPU wise, is it worth to go for Toxic/Vapor-X version rather than cheapest OC-ed from Sapphire?
- 1600x900 monitor, and occasionally might use 1080p TV. might upgrade 1080p monitor in future also.
- no ODD since I got one already from old desktop. tested, still good eventhough been idle for 5 years

*addition* I'm building this hope that it can still be used in future photoshop version (4-5 years more). I don't actually care for ultra setting in game, I think in 2 years I appreciate if still can use medium

*Prices are from Viewnet*

any comment/critique are highly appreciated.

Budget is how much bro?

oh yeah, sorry to add. actually 2.5k, but can spare some for around this value, 2.7k. if haswell is worth the addition RM120, I'll think a way to fit them in my budget..

wowww. I never thought I can include xeon in my setup looks very good. so, multi monitor setup doesn't need more PSU power? and a gtx760 is ok already for my requirement?

Sorry. Just wanna ask. Intel Xeon is for workstation right? I don't really know about the use of workstation.. Can I install windows 7 like normal cpu?

Hi sifus. Can help me build a bitfenix prodiy spec around 2k? for games, and photo editing. Thanks .

Yes,u can.E3-1230v3 is like an i7 4770 without the IGP,that's it.

yes, the gpu should be able to run most of the current games at a pretty good setting.

Slap a bit more for optimum performance :

Intel Core i5 4430 3.1GHz RM569
Asrock B85M-ITX mainboard RM289
Kingston KVR 1600MHz ram 8GB RM260
Sapphire HD6870 1GB DDR5 RM389
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=831632&hl=
Antec Strictly 550W PSU RM219
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM199
Bitfenix Prodigy mITX Chassis RM299
Liteon 24x DVDRW RM60

Total - RM2284.00

this is a bit hard, the case and the itx board are already kinda expensive:

Thanks. I like this spec. Maybe i will change the gc. Anyway, thanks for helping me.

No
and
Yes, 760 is good enough

no one reply someone help me ?
