Can i have some opinion regarding this rig?

AMD A4-5300 APU 3.40GHz dual-core

Is it good enough as a gaming PC and how much will it cost me?

Thank you.

What's your budget?

Preferably below Rm1000.

Thank you alfierjr and aaronFPS! I'll further my research on this.

Intel Core i5 4440 and Intel i5-3470. Which is better?
Btw, how does turboboost works? Is there like a on/off switch? Or its an automatic function? what triggers it?

Is it better to get an 8GB RAM or 2x4GB RAM?
What are the pros and cons?

Besides that, what's the difference between WD black and WD blue?

Sorry to bombard you guys with so many questions. paiseh noob here

I recommend taking the black, 5 years warranty 

Hello guys, my cousin wanna bulid one computer, he wanted to connect his new pc to his 40inche tv. He mainly just for surfing and watching online show,and he dont want any laggging, his budget arround 3k, any recommend?

In actual fact the i5-3470 is slightly faster than the i5-4440 but the i5-4440 is newer (haswell).

the turbo boost makes the CPU run faster when extra performance is needed. it's automatic. for example when performing too many tasks at the same time.

for the dual channel vs single channel memory, there is little difference in real life application. The pros of having dual channel that i can think of is if one of the ram spoil u have another 4gb to back it up.

The black is slightly faster than the blue but both will spoil in the end anyway since both are hdd. I say take the cheaper option and invest on an ssd.

got a i7 2600k, 8gb ram, 6970 2gb vga

thinking of changing my system to something new to claim tax rebate.

Budget for System only ( exclude monitor) approx 3k.
is there anything better for 3k that i can spend on? mostly gaming

I see... thanks for the info.

haswell doesnt really benefit desktops right? which CPU would you choose? 

i'll take the haswell since it's a bit cheaper and when intel Broadwell comes out next year u dont have to change your motherboard if u want to upgrade again.

Hey guys, i was reading thru the thread and i notice most gaming rig recommended I5 instead AMD. But i also noticed on the price list AMD is generally lower cost that intel?
Is there any reason why Intel Core I5 is choosen instead of AMD?

copy pasta from my thread

I haven't build a PC in more than 10 years, I'm very out of touch in terms of parts but I keep track of GPU launches every now and then.

So I have a budget of about RM5000, I'm building everything from scratch so this budget will include monitors, speakers, k/b & mouse and other accessories.

I'm building the PC around AMD's R9 290 GPU and looking forward to gaming @2560x1440 resolution.

I made a rough partlist at here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/23vaK

but it's already out of my budget range (after conversion), could any Sifu here be able to help squeeze in abit more? Thanks a dozen!
PS: are the listed parts available in Msia? if so please recommend any store to source them, I don't mind if its from Singapore as well
