thought so, well good luck with that, since it was such a long list sweat.gif

anyway, never seen anyone put up AMD APU setup, what do you think of this one comparing price-performance value for a light gamer, (DOTA 2 is the heaviest)
-------------------------------------------
RM1.3k - AMD APU setup
AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz - RM499
ASRock FM2A75M-DGS - RM199
Avexir 8GB PC1866 TWINS 2X - RM249
FSP HEXA 500W - RM149
Seagate 500GB SATA 3 - RM159

You'd better getting Intel... at RM1.3K... It's just make it hard to recommend.
APUs are actually worth it if you are going into HTPCs and very small form factor builds, where a discrete GPU is out of the question. tongue.gif

basically, i watched from teksyndicate youtube where they recommend several time of APU system with really nice price around $350(around RM1085?) only with some really nice spec

i tried to build with Malaysia available H/W around same spec and this is the best i could get :/
maybe pricing at Malaysia are much higher compared overseas tongue.gif

you see, I could say i'm the most computer literate among my friends and always been asked for the cheapest computer system for DOTA 2 at considerably high setting

so i thought APU is the solution, unfortunately the price still high :/

Do check out nice htpc cases from lian li and silverstone brows.gif
If on a tight budget any case will do for a htpc
Btw I'm using an old hp pavilion casing for my i3 htpc
And you're wasting money on the ram bro ram can just use normal 1600 ram without performance difference in daily usage/gaming

well, i know but from i read. in order to boost up the APU graphics, RAM clock speed is really in affect
based on here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/memory...ity,3419-8.html

to me 20% increased in performance could be consider huge already.

I am looking forward to buy a HTPC for my home setup, using a 42' TV at home, could anyone give me any suggestion about it? I don't mind either AMD/intel, but leaning towards intel.

1. My budget is around 1.8k for this HTPC, going to use it purely for movies and light browsing only.

2. I'm eyeing on Bitfenix Prodigy or Jonsbo G2. Any other recommendations?

3. I'm looking for a remote control for this build, where can I find one?

4. Is there integrated graphic driver from processor enough for 1080p movie playback?

7950 still out of budget even top up 300, unless u pick other brand of monitor that might offer cheaper.
RM300 perhaps upgrade to Sapphire 7870 XT RM769 for best bang of buck as it offers similar performance as gtx660 ti. Then upgrade ram to 8gb RM169.

This is a quote I got from ACI Karamunsing KK. Numbers in red are from Jayacom.

Intel i5 3470 - 599 (555)

Asus B75 - 249 (245)

Kingston 8gb - 179 179

WD 1TB - 229 192

Saphhire HD7850 2gb - 889 599


The price for the rest of the components are insignificant.
Other than the graphic card, the rest of the products seem ok.

Just a reference for KK people about the price.

That's almost RM400 difference. It's not surprising but still. I've ordered a full set PC via courier before and I still pay less than RM300 in courier fee. Well, there are still risks involved so it plays some part in making the decision. Thanks for the info.

Most of the time assembly is free of charge if you are buying all things from them.

well maybe you can change 500gb HDD to 1TB

500gb SEAGATE - RM159
500gb WD/Blue- RM164

-->1TB WD/Blue - RM199

TOTAL would be RM2001 wink.gif

I5 3470 - RM559
I3 3220 - RM344

so roughly RM200+-

unless you want to find used unit, you could get I5 for around RM400-450 smile.gif

Guys, recently grabbed a cheap Intel I5-3570k from a friend working at Intel, gonna build a not so high end 2nd gaming rig with 2k budget w/o proc & monitor.

1. Gonna play on Dell U2312HM with mixture of high or ultra w/o AA/AF.

2. FPS games like BF3 / Black ops 2 and c/s BF4, Strategy games like SIMS and civilization 5.

3. Prefer Asrock mobo, case with nice dust filter feature.

Thx in advance guys.

Hey guys, I plan on buying a full PC set including a monitor as soon as possible and I need some help. My budget is around RM4000-5000 and the PC will be mainly for gaming.

I have decided on getting an i7 instead of an i5 but apart from that, I have absolutely no idea what GPU, PSU, and so on to get. I would really appreciate a price and product breakdown like @CheaTeRz did above smile.gif

This is an example of a system that may meet your expectations smile.gif:

Intel Core i7 3770 / Xeon E3-1230V2 - RM889 / RM749
MSI H77MA-G43 - RM289
1x 8GB DDR3 1600MHz KVR - RM174
DVD drive of your choice - RM70
Intel 330 Series 120GB - RM369
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM194
Sapphire HD7970 3GB GDDR5 GPU - RM1449
Seasonic M12II 620 PSU - RM359
ATX chassis of your choice - RM200
Dell U2312HM 23" Full HD IPS LCD Monitor - RM600 (Just an approximation as it's around this price).

Optional(s):
1) Speakers / Headphone / Headset - RM300
2) Keyboard & Mouse combo - RM100

Total : RM4993/RM4853

The Xeon E3-1230v2 processor has the a performance level equal or close to the Intel Core i7 3770, and it's cheaper too, so it makes it a rather worthwhile purchase. However if you insist on going with an Intel Core i7 processor instead, there's the i7 3770 for you to choose. smile.gif

Wow thanks a lot guys! Its comforting to see a lot of similarities in the recommendations! I admit I dont know much about Xeon. Ill do some googling about it but its quite strange that its performance is similar yet almost rm150 cheaper.

My only problem at the moment is the graphics card. Is there a big difference between the Sapphires and Asus'?

Again thanks a lot! smile.gif

Marketing strategies and brand name, source of components used for their cards, circuit layout, and others. smile.gif Other than that they both offer cards which have similar performance (if same model, e.g HD7970 with HD7970).

If you're talking about durability, it's a hit or miss with most people. laugh.gif It may last for several years, or it may last for just a year or two before requiring replacement.

Performance wise they should be able to satisfy you for quite some time to come, but don't expect too much as the prettier new games are, the more graphical processing power they'll require. Expect to change your card once every two to three years depending on what you have bought, and depending on how much you demand when playing laugh.gif.

If you're talking about durability, it's a hit or miss with most people. laugh.gif It may last for several years, or it may last for just a year or two before requiring replacement.

Performance wise they should be able to satisfy you for quite some time to come, but don't expect too much as the prettier new games are, the more graphical processing power they'll require. Expect to change your card once every two to three years depending on what you have bought, and depending on how much you demand when playing laugh.gif.

Haha,i know what you mean! But my 9800 GT managed to last me for almost 4 years so I think it should be fine tongue.gif
Thanks again man, Ill be following both your recommendations when i build my PC and ill probably settle on either one of GTX680 or HD7970. Ill also follow your recommendation regarding the Xeon.

Cheers mate! smile.gif

remember tho, the only setbacks regarding xeon is that its not capable to overclock AT ALL
and
there is no Integrated GPU on board, so you need GPU attached at all time smile.gif

I actually dont know what the "no IGPU on board" means tongue.gif Will that affect the use of the PC much? Because i mainly gonna use it for gaming only lol

Since im quite an amateur user, I dont think the inability to overclock means a lot rite..?

just in case you going to send your graphic card for a warranty, you won't be able to use motherboard graphic input/output as usual since the proc doesn't support any on board graphic.

sorry if its hard to understand blush.gif

well, that's why for non oc'er, i'd prefer to take xeon if they wish to get performance of i7 smile.gif

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! biggrin.gif

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)

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.

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. tongue.gif
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.

As long as it have 24pin and 4pin power for motherboard it should be fine. However, I suggest better a get another PSU that offer true power and reliability since this brand i nv heard of it.

Hi guys, just realize the existence of this thread, after receiving comments from other forumers, this is my dekstop build, 80% gaming purpose and mayb rendering as well. is it ok for a 3k budget to build this gaming rig?

Processor Core i5 3570 4 Cores/4 Way/GMA HD SC:1155 | GHz:3.40 | cache:6M ====[RM610]
Motherboard MSI B75MA-P45 =============================[RM229]
RAM APACER D3 PC1333 (8gb ram 1pieces)====================[RM155]
HDD 1TB W.D. BLUE 32M 7200 RPM SATA 6.0====================[RM180]
GPU LEADTEK GTX670 2GB D5 256BIT=======================[RM1050]
Power supply Corsair 650W VS ( A/80+)======================[RM259]
Casing COOLER MASTER ELITE SERIES CASING ================[RM149]
Monitor Asus 24" VS247N ===============================[RM600]

Totall all added up was RM3252, i might spend another RM150 on stuff like keyboard,mouse and speaker

So total final is RM3402............

BTW,i got few question to ask since my topic have quite slow reply from the forumers,

1. Is leadtek gtx670 good? because it have the lowest price compare with other brand like asus, gigabyte, palit...
2. Why most of the ppl choose to buy 660 or 680 instead? there are very few amount ppl targetting 670.....
3. MY budget is actually around 2.9k, which mean this has already exceeded my figure, i am fine to pay it up to 3.4k, but is it really worth my money to build this dekstop for 80% gaming purpose, rendering ?


Thank you.

Yes it's a good build overall
1.leadteak us just as good as others it's just cheaper because it uses reference designs
2. 670 is a great you actually and can be overclocked to 680 performance
3. The configuration is good and worth it

thx for ur reply, but i saw some comments from tomshardware, there are ppl suggesting not to OC leadtek GTX 670 due to the poor cooler they have, and they got no backplate which i dun even know what was that. Most of the ppl suggest to take asus and gigabyte if really wan to OC [FYI, my gaming room is quite hot btw, that why my laptop is busted]

You can have a look on a GTX670 review to see if it meets your requirement for game setting.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_670/

If way too much, just pick a slightly slower gpu GTX660 or 660 ti for budget saving.

what negative comment?
anyway, if you search in google GTX xxx issue or HD 7xxx issue,
there are tons of issues user having that might as well don't buy any of the graphic cards tongue.gif

still, which issues are you referring to anyway?

yeah its a good card, can check up the reviews.

basically AMD GPU are cheaper at the same par of performance within the same tier of Nvidia wink.gif

They didnt have the normal version, so i got the sapphire 7770 vapor x model, but i only realized after i bought it, a extra RM10 could get me the sapphire 7790, so definitely in a facepalm moment now doh.gif

Last question, not sure if this is too off topic, but a CM K280 with just the front fan installed is enough to cool the rig right? Gonna leave everything stock as i want this rig to last me around 3-4 years

You sure they carry other Sapphire models? If not mistaken the 7770 vapor x is left over one by a forumer due to canceled deal. Thats why no normal version available.

can't really say bout it because from time to time both of the AMD and Nvidia regularly updates their driver to keep with up to date requirement.
and
about lifespan of computer component really cant say much bout it coz imo it mostly depend on your luck XD

since you just bought it few hours ago, cant you try contact them for you to add some bucks and replace with 7790 instead? who know if they allowed it smile.gif

as for the fan, keep the air flow balance is enough, intake = outtake, don't get too much intake or later your interior will get dusty faster.

That card is ok
But if possible to change it to 7790 will be great rclxms.gif
Try ask them that smile.gif

look like you have poison me biggrin.gif , but why all the benchmark that i found on the internet stated 7970 is weaker than 670 ? i just took a view on some price list, there are two type of 7970 in sapphire brand

SAPPHIRE HD7970 3GB D5 384BIT OC [1299]
SAPPHIRE HD7970 3GB D5 384BIT VAPOR-X [1399]

I just dont get it, since we can OC ourselve, but why many GPU they come out a OC version itself?? what the point? and the difference between these two are RM100... sorry i am very new to GPU still

I suppose u are refering to a wrong one. There's a different between 7970 and 7970 Ghz
user posted image

The pre-OC is for someone lazy to do manual OC. Most of the time pre-oc'ed version offers better cooling solution.

Unfortunately just got my rig last night, didnt try to cancel it as they had already built the rig, and im not sure even if its possible to change at such the last minute, still want to maintain healthy relationship with pc image sweat.gif

About the fans, they installed a single intake fan at the side. Thinking about installing another outtake fan at the rear, should balance out everything right?

Well what done is done, let it be tongue.gif
Just swap the side fan to the rear side as exhaust. Most of the time I only mount fan(s) at rear or top side as exhaust, let the side/front blank as passive intake airflow to reduce noise.

hi there, is me , erm i decided to buy sapphire hd 7970 vapor-x ghz edition 3gb, because i can get it for RM1200 which i think its a good deal, but the processor that i m going to buy was i5 3570 , which is not good to OC right? i m just afraid i might get bottleneck when gaming because i will OC my GPU, i found some comments from tomshardware, there is a guy who use same processor as i do , get bottleneck on crysis 3, is it better to get 3570k? oh ya BTW my PSU Corsair 650W VS ( A/80+) enough to support my GPU ,right?

The 7970 Vapor X will do well for gaming. As for the i5 3570, you won't be able to really overclock it even if you wanted to, might be able to squeeze out a little extra (~3.9GHz). If you plan on OCing, the get the 3570k, the unlocked card means you will be able to OC it safely to 4.4-4.5Ghz with no problems. You will need a CPU cooler if you want to OC.

1. What do you intend to do with it? Gaming? If what games in general.

2. how big do you want the monitor to be(18"/22"/23"?)

Might make it easier for the gurus to help you come up with a build smile.gif

You can ask again at July by the time u do want to build a new rig. During July Haswell is available and new stuff might come out. There's no rush to ask now since later on price may differ too.

1) budget = RM 3k ( i think i can go maximum 3.5k)

2) leisure usage i think ( light usage of autocad,catia < not always use it)

3) gaming - Fifa,PES,all new games like RE 6,batman ( can play mid setting also ok )

4) SSF build using bitfenix. monitor 19-22" also can

5) im buying in july 2013

so guys is it details? laugh.gif

The there the 3570 is actually good enough

bottleneck? yes, but how much? not much

a quad core by today's standards are fast enough to cope with whatever games thrown at it. some may benefit from the use of a quad core+HT tech, but not much games can utilise it fully.

so by default, with an i5 3570, you have the best i5 can offer for Ivy Bridge lineup. theres no need to worry about bottlenecks

you can save up a little more by changing into

PSU = FSP Hexa 500w - RM150
Value RAM = TEAM Elite DDR3 1600Mhz 4GB = RM95

or you can boost up graphics by;
downgrade you PROC to intel core I3 3220.
upgrade GC to SAPPHIRE 7850 2GB

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

most importantly, what you going to use it for?

if you want to OC, I didnt know much bout OC.

but mostly people would say getting unlocked 'k' proc + z77 chipset would be much better.

you need to change to a better CPU cooler, CM 212 evo would do.

basically, what you want to use it for?

avoid CM GX650 - http://www.johnnylucky.org/power-supplies/...lemon-list.html

wont say much about AMD vs Intel; http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/699?vs=677

i didnt know which is better but as far I see from the graph, looks like AMD are slightly higher than Intel i3 sweat.gif

Hi guys, i decided to cut my budget by select cheaper price of PSU, my CPU is i5 3570 and GPU is sapphire HD7970 Ghz edition vapor -X , but can i choose Corsair CX series [650W=RM155] or [750W=RM195] ????? The price is much cheaper compare with others brand and series, i doubt the quality though......

Oh ya , can CM elite 431 casing fit in my GPU ? as i know, my GPU is quite big in size 185mm if i m not mistaken, thank you

Its the builder series, one of the lower class PSU from corsair, but the quality still at least something that u can trust.
Again, not a first time see ppl keep skim on PSU. You got almost everything the best of the best, yet not willing to spend little more for better ones. 650W and 750W CX series is ok as long as u can find it cheap.

The build looks good overall, go for the processor with a 'K' if u intend to overclock it.
Haswell is coming soon, you can wait and see if you arent rush.

1. If you do not plan on Overclocking, k versions will serve you no purpose.
2. I'd go with Kingston Value 8Gb = RM18X for RAM
3. Unless you really like Nvidia, I'd go with a Sapphire HD7970 Dual-X. Which would be able to keep up with even a GTX680.

Overall, good build.

Thank you for your quick reply! I do plan to overclock it(seems pretty easy based on youtube , just the time needed to stress test and all) . How much would Sapphire HD7970 Dual-X ? Is that able to OC as well? I plan to OC both my graphics card & processor . Just seeing a lot of ppl saying i7-3770k is future proof , while some say i5-3570k is good enough. (Thanks for your feedback on ram issue and cost cutting there too notworthy.gif )

7970 Dual-X is RM1299. If you have some spare, I'd personally recommend the MSI 7970 Lighting Boost Edition which is around RM14XX.

The i5 3570k(Around RM700) can be overclocked safely to 4.4-4.5Ghz with no problems. I wouldn't worry about future-proofing too much, especially not when you can save a ton without it(3770k is close to 1k iirc) as technology moves too fast these days to tell what's going to happen 2months later. I'd recommend getting the i5 and a better GPU.

you might want to consider yourself a used set if that the case.

I saw plenty of good used unit around RM500.

But pls dun tell me u are serious about a download rig with a spec as stated.
A cap ayam PSU definitely not recommended.
A download rig often kills a HDD fast since it most likely operate 24/7. So a better HDD grade will be recommended, but cost slightly more expensive.

Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering if topping up RM200 or so to put in a Core i5 instead be worthwhile for minor photo editing and multi-tasking purposes?

for me ill consider increasing size of RAM in for multi-tasking and photo editing because these two takes up more RAM than processing power AFAIK.

Oh yes, my mistake, looks to be all rounded though if you're looking to save maybe you could do with a Gtx670 and having more RAM?? cause you're gonna be editing videos, and is OC-capability necessary?? cause if not, you can get away with a Xeon and a cheaper mobo as well whistling.gif

More RAM is true. Btw, he already has a watercooler, doubt he would have put it in unless he already plans to OC. I'd suggest not going the GTX680. This is just me but a GTX780 from newegg will only cost 2k+. if you're really looking for a super-high-end build, that's the way to go.

wouldn't recommend that. Haswell is to be announced in June, who knows when you will get them here. Unlike the GTX780 which has already been released. If you don't like waiting there are already a few local resellers who are already selling them... At a premium, of course. whistling.gif

It's definitely going to cost you. Which is why I buy most of my GPUs directly from newegg, that and because there are no longer any resellers for EVGA in M'sia. My rig(in my sig) is pretty dated, and i'm saving up for a new one, with a GTX780 in it sometime next year.

Again, I only suggest this because I assume you'd want a rig that would last you a few years. If not, the 680 would do perfectly fine.

No experience with aoc monitor.
Most local shops in Sarawak didnt carry msi products, except miri side if not mistaken.
Wonder why AMD build, Intel build is outperform AMD in terms of gaming.

hmm...actually i was comparing between i5 3570k + AsRock Z77 Extreme 3 and fx8350 + AsRock 990FX

intel set here costs rm1130 and amd set costs rm1030...tho amd consumes more power right? unsure.gif

and also amd is better with multi tasking? unsure.gif

im still not 100% certain...

Most processors nowadays are capable of multi-tasking, just depends on how heavy on personal usage.
You only may benefit from the extra cores from amd fx8350 if your programs need more processing power/speed.
When comes to gaming, both OC'ed i5 3570k vs FX8350. i5 stands most win in gaming performance.





However, AMD do offer slightly cheaper because of the mobo price. But, amd mobo doesnt support latest pcie 3.0 that may benefit in future. And amd mobo needs at least dual slot x16 mode pciex16 slots for better multi-gpu scaling.

Multitasking just depends on how fast your CPU is. I use intel myself, and the 3570k only allows you to overclock it. If you don't plan on OCing, the i5 3570 will do fine, and it's cheaper too.

Both of them support sli and cfx.
2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (PCIE2/PCIE3: single at x16 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE3) or dual at x8/x8 mode)
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extre...=Specifications

Extreme4 looks nicer and offer 2 more sata ports. For more details for the difference between u can take your time to figure out.

It is very obvious no if u really did google and check the spec to compare.
This is MSI Z77 G43

Ok, enough of spoon feed, pls use google to check them by yourself. It is your responsibility to do survey instead of me.

Are you going to OC the CPU? Hyper 212X doesn't provide enough cooling power if you OC, unless it is minimal OC.

7970 Dual-X is RM1299. If you have some spare, I'd personally recommend the MSI 7970 Lighting Boost Edition which is around RM14XX.

The i5 3570k(Around RM700) can be overclocked safely to 4.4-4.5Ghz with no problems. I wouldn't worry about future-proofing too much, especially not when you can save a ton without it(3770k is close to 1k iirc) as technology moves too fast these days to tell what's going to happen 2months later. I'd recommend getting the i5 and a better GPU.

Its a heat sink with fan. I suggest you use stock cooler first, then you slowly explore how to OC and stuff, then only you invest on better cooler.

Its a heat sink with fan. I suggest you use stock cooler first, then you slowly explore how to OC and stuff, then only you invest on better cooler.

So the CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler is a stock cooler?

Err no. Stock cooler is the one that comes along with your Intel CPU.

The CPU already comes with a cooler. And you bought another cooler (Hyper 212X), so you have 2 cooler.

I suggest you use the cooler that comes with the CPU first, don't buy the Hyper 212X. After you explored more on OC, then you can invest more money on better cooler.

CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler RM135 Not necessary
Corsair Carbide 400R Casing RM299 If you're okay with the looks
Liteon 24x Sata DVDRW RM65 Last 2 weeks I bought a ASUS DVD optical drive from Viewnet for RM55 only

doh.gif You don't simply spend more money for 750W and above, its just a suggestion in case if u really tend to do that setup like a few weeks or 1~2 months later on.
If you have no idea on how to do it, just use single gpu solution for less problem and stick to your current spec will be fine.

Hi, currently this is my rig:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H with onboard graphics HD4250
CPU: Phenom II X2 555 BE (unable to unlock to 4 cores)
Cooler: Hyper 212 evo
PSU: Seasonic G 550w
RAM: 4 gig Corsair DDR3 1333 x 1
HDD: 500gig
DVD: LG LiteOn
GPU: Leadtek geforce GTX650 (not installed yet)

I want to upgrade the mobo to a low-budget gaming rig but I want to keep the CPU and the rest of the equipments as they are. At the same time, the new mobo is to be able to be linked as a HTPC to my LCD tv and hi-fi.

Would you guys please recommend a suitable mobo for me? My budget is very low +/- RM250 blush.gif yeah I know not much I can afford right now. My choice mobo brands are: Asus, Gigabyte & MSI; Asus & Gigabyte preferably.

many thanks in advance.

bob

I am not sure if my mobo broken blink.gif , the CPU was unlocked to x4 when I set it up early last year but I noticed just a couple days back that the "unlocking" was undone and now it is back to x2! Is this possible?

And also I noticed that the temp is rather on the high side even at idle. Its always above 70C (from sisoft sandra & CPUID HWMonitor, really abnormal i think. I go into setup and noticed the same temperature. So I went to check online, some says its the NB chip, its ok and it shud be high to run properly they say. I don't think so coz when I try to unlock it again, the system didn't even get pass the sign on page, and getting worse if you attemp continuously meaning, it doesn't even get pass the POST! Weird I think. I suspect the mobo somehow couldn't control the temp as it getting warmer, I check every fan they all running fine.

So the best guess is: change the mobo, since the rest of the components seem ok. I don't think the CPU kaput already.

Any ideas? And any recommendation for a mobo? I am looking at Gigabyte ga-970a-d3. Is this ok?

thanks

Still no budget? NVM will let you off the hook for once, and for the record.. its a PC or RIG... not CPU

Try

Intel Core i5 3470 RM559
MSI B75MA-P45 RM229
Kingston Value RAM 4GB RM94
Plextor M5S 128GB SSD RM299
Sapphire HD7970 trixx edi RM1349
Seasonic SII 620W RM299
BitFenix Shinobi Window RM219

Total RM2679

For the driver configuration and stuff will they do it for me? I don't intend to install genuine windows on it too.

the price, you can try to haggle it with them and ask for discount.

for windows, not sure you might want to ask them about it.
not that hard to do it yourself too wink.gif

So my little bro's screen had an "accident" and now I have to get a new one....

Dell 23" U2312HM or Samsung 23" S23B350H?

And will the 8ms respond time on the Dell be felt during high-speed gaming?

Haswell processor is slightly expensive like RM50 each.
The problem is mobo models not much available yet and all price very high.
C-Zone just released their latest price list with haswell update, can try check.

Haven't look through the specs of mobo of haswell, quite a headache to spend time compare them again doh.gif .
Haswell setup not so soon for me, I will observe awhile first to see how it goes.
Now saving budget for making Raid setup, thinking to make raid5 but budget not enough and having some problems that I'm not sure.

Lets say currently I have a 2TB seagate HDD with 1.2TB files inside, if i use this HDD to raid5 with other 2 HDD it will erase the files that currently store in it right?
I'm sure raid 0&1 will erase, but cant find a confirmation regarding raid5.

basically, the general idea is the same wink.gif

raid 1 will too.


raid0 is only good for performance and storage optimized, but 0 tolerance on failure.
raid1 is no performance increase, but setup requirement is simple and easier. Expensive for large array.

both setup do erase the contents on existing drives that are selected.

only left a doubt on raid5, that im afraid it will erase contents on existing drive too.
Due to budget constraint i cant get new 3x 3tb drive for raid5 yet, only have budget for 2 and i have existing 2tb drive as main storage&backup.

Reading on net mostly only describe the behavior and functions of raid setup instead of details about real implementation.

*SC2 graphic requirement aren't that high, it is more cpu intensive.
I don't need win7 pro XD

spec are refined as above, sorry i miss look on the price list by copy paste without realize.
ram 4gb is sufficient for most applications, you can opt for 8gb too.
N200 seems like a new model, not sure local distributor have it ready or not.

It is time to put Rosewill PSUs into considerations, which the PSUs are not that bad in terms of performance and warranty, 1:1 unit exchange from local distributor from 3-5 years.

Anyway the Rosewill flagships, Tachyon/Capstone (Superflower OEM) performance are almost at top-notch, you can't agree more when you use it.

Do you have anything around 850w? If so I would gladly drop my TX850M plans and just ship. tongue.gif

FSP Hexa 500W is sufficient too, but I still recommend a psu that is slightly more than just enough to ensure after yeas of degrade it still can handle your rig without another replacement [maybe].

The performance from ivy to haswell isnt that much, however power consumption does improved.
4570 is a good choice for someone that need a good cpu for working purpose without gaming much.

The i5 3570 should be compared to the 4670, as both of them has unlocked versions and are the fastest in their respective line-ups. If you're thinking of upgrading from the Ivy, I'd hold off till Intel comes out with the tick version of the Haswell. If you'd using something slower/older, why not? smile.gif

Mobo doesn't affect performance much, msi or gigabyte just different brand. The spec suggested are overclocking ready, and its a small form factor build.

Hello guys,

My mobo and 1 of my graphic card has finally given up on me and I need replacement soon. I'm planning to reuse my hardware excluding the cpu, mobo & gpu. If possible i want to have an upgraded system than i originally have within the budget of 2k-2.5k, lesser the better. Intel cpu and nvidia gpu preferred. Or anything better in your opinion.

Please give me some suggestions. Thanks guys.

EDIT: forgot to mention, my pc spec is as per my sig below.

Slightly faster than the 3570K. tongue.gif
But it comes with a new socket. icon_idea.gif

The 770 is basically an overclocked 680 in disguise, but cheaper. tongue.gif

Here's an explanation on Intel's tick-tock model:

As for Haswell's succersor, it will probably be announced next year, yes. Currently the next gen chipset is codenamed Broadwell.

After further inspection, my mobo is still functioning and operational lol Now only the gpu needs to be replaced.

But, still have some inquiries about them cpu and gpu.

1. Does migrating from my current cpu setup to Haswell worth it? In terms of gaming of course. If, let say, I opted to GTX770. Will it be bottlenecked by my i5 760?

2. My current gpu setup is GTX460 1gb x2 SLi, if I'm going for GTX660, will it be an increase of performance or should I splurge more and go for 770?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: scratch that, the pc died again lol

Hey all,

I think it's time for me to jump back into PC gaming, it's been more than 10 years since I last built my own PC and times have changed so much.

I'm not into too fancy stuff but would like to have good performance, small form factor gaming pc. Can any Guru / Sifu here help suggest a rig build? here are my requirements:

Budget: RM 5k
1.) Small Form Factor Case - i live in a very cramp space >_> but i like it to be tidy as well. The size should be comparable to something like a Alienware X51
2.) i5 or i7 CPU - I do play wii games using dolphin and it's very CPU dependent
3.) 7970 or GTX 680 GPU - I'm ok with stock clocks but would be nice bonus if there are room to OC
4.) PSU 500w - i'm also looking into upgradability in the future
5.) motherboard - i'm completely clueless on this one, it should obviously be small enough to fit into the SFF case and allow CPU upgrades later on.
6.) 8 GB DDR3 1600mhz - please suggest a brand for this
7.) HDD 120GB SSD + 1TB HD - please suggest a brand for this
8.) HeatSink, Cooling, Fans - no idea what to use
9.) Optical drive - this is optional

edit: actually i looked up on the net and found some suggestion builds. Here's a sample
user posted image

the price is obviously USD but are these component sourceable in lowyat / Malaysia?

1. The X51 is about 10 litres in volume, and a comparable case would be only the SG05. The SG05 would only fits a 10 inch card, which means your option would be:
(a) GTX670 DirectCU mini
(b) Any reference GTX770 (warning: very tight fit, and may requires modding)
(b) Any reference GTX680

2. i7 doesn't make a difference in emulation, and they are dependent on single-threaded performance.

3. Read (1).

4. You won't be able to get a >500W PSU for the SG05 since this one is a SFX unit. However, if you are willing to go bigger, take a look at the SG08 instead. That one comes with a 600W SFX unit, which is aplenty for single GPU setups, including overclocking.

5. Take a look at the ASRock Z87E-ITX for the board.

6. Any low-profile DDR3 8GB 1600 should make it fine. tongue.gif

7. You have some choices on the SSD:
(a) Plextor M5S
(b) Crucial M4
© Samsung 830/840/840 Pro (Though I cannot recommend it since warranty can be an issue)
(d) Intel 330/335/520
For HDDs, it is recommended to get a 2.5 inch drive for that. WD Scorpio Blue 1TB should be OK.

8. For CPU cooler, you would need to go closed-loop watercooling since air cooling would be too large to fit inside the case. Antec Kuhler 620 should be fine and it should be an easy fit into the case, since the tubings are quite bendable.

9. There's no need for an optical drive, since slim optical drives are expensive (cheapest one would be RM299). Use an external one instead.

I think you can get the z77i deluxe here IINM... Try looking at Garage Sales for that. Still, why are you looking at older CPUs where Haswell is already here. tongue.gif
Yes, those parts can be procured here, except for the CPU fan, but you can use the Antec 620 closed-loop cooler for that. brows.gif

Intel Core i5 4670K RM729
Asus Z87M-Plus RM690

WD Blue 1TB RM187
Leadtek GTX770 3GB RM1499
Corsair TX750M / Rosewill Tachyon 750w - RM400~
Silverstone TJ08E - RM350

Around 4k. The 4670k CPU is only for overclocking, so if you don't plan on doing that, you can swap it for the cheaper 4670. If you do plan on OCing, water cooling might be plausible... Corsair H80i maybe?

Never did like the triple fan design of the Jetstreams. :/ But yeah, if TS wants to get it, why not. Though I would recommend water-cooling since he's going SFF.

I think triple fans is a bit over. 2 fans is already enough to cover the whole heat sink. Unless your card is as long as 7990.

thanks for the great replies all. Man, water cooling sounds pretty tough, I have not assembled any liquid cooling before. Are those already in a package with liquid inside and completely sealed off? or do i have to manage the liquid myself?

Closed-loop doesn't require much maintenance after all...
The liquid is actually sealed FYI... I think following the manual should work.
Yes, they come in a package IINM.

That's great, i just looked it up, seems to be quite easy to install.
It seems to cover CPU only? does that mean the GPU is still fan cooled?

sorry, new here, but what's IINM?

If you want to cool the GPU too then XSPC's Raystorm series of water-cooling systems allow you to add as many loops as you fit, but of course, it's going to cost you. I believe the mid-tier RS Series is about RM500~ while the high-end EX Series can go upwards of RM850~

Sell off your GPU and the PSU. Both are unfit for gaming, and you can get some cash from there. tongue.gif
i3 3220-RM369
MSI H61M-P31/W8-RM155
Kingston 1x4GB Value-RM89
-Reuse HDD-
Palit GTX650Ti Boost 2GB-RM575 (GBros@Garage Sales)
-No optical drive-
CM K280 Casing-RM128
Corsair CX500-RM195 (Idealtech@Garage Sales)
Total: RM1511

Bear in mind Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 are both CPU and GPU demanding.

1. Downgrade the Hydro H100i, and go for the Noctua NH-D14. It is quite a bit cheaper, RM289, and performs slightly worst than a H100i.
2. That board does not have overclocking capability. You will need a Z87 board to do so.
3. GPU is fine, and you can consider Palit GTX780 from GBros if you want to. Stock will be ready next week. brows.gif
4. Games do not take advantage of HyperThreading. You can get a i5 4670K, and you still have identical frame rates.

That mobo won't allow u to do further overclocking on your processor. Change to a Z87 mobo if u plan to OC, else picking non-K variant processor will be fine for budget saving.
You can also consider thermaltake water 2.0 extreme that outperforms corsair h100i with cheaper price.

What Phanteks lack of now is the marketing gimmick to promote their products. wink.gif
You might need to consider on Swiftech H220 for AIO water-cooling, try googling it and you will found good reviews about it.

True. Been doing some reading up of them and I gotta say, I'm very impressed with the reviews!

Will put them into consideration when I build my heavy OC rig in a few months.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to upgrade to a i5-4570. Can I get an opinion between these 2 motherboards?

MSI B85M-E33

I'm not planning to do any OC, so I'd appreciate any feedback and other recommendations. Many thanks smile.gif

Mobo is pretty expensive pick imo, if not really into overclocking the budget cut from mobo can get an i7.

Basically both mobo are using same B85 chipset, so not much different in features. Either one of them are good for your usage.
Mind if I ask you try to upgrade from what cpu to haswell ? If Ivy to Haswell aren't that worth since the performance difference isn't much.

yeah 4GB already enough for casual gaming.

RAM consumed a lot when you like to open up multiple program/application/browser tab at the same time, for single application like gaming will do fine.

Basically they are different chipset, but both supports socket 1155 processor. Do check the official web for more details between them.
FSP Hexa 500W is sufficient.

Performance between them are just similar, so why pay for a used card that is same price as a new one?
You can compare them at your own by following the links below:

Interested with this build since i can afford just up to this price. Never been building own rig. Maybe will try to build one and hopefully won't fail. Is there any tutorial on how to build the rig? Is there any store/mall that mentioned does delivery? Ayam staying in Sarawak, Miri.

Seller like lingloong, idealtech, apes do provide shipping with rig built, but it is better to check local shop price as comparisons first to see if it is a good deal by shipping rig/hardware from west malaysia to sarawak.
You can check a miri shop name VS Technology in facebook, ask for price quote.

When you purchase the casing and mobo, there is a set of instructions manual ( differs with brand ) describing the basics of which wires should go to which pins and stuff like this. Assembling your own rig is a whole new experience if you really appreciate the CPu that you are building. Try it.

* What you should look out for is to avoid static and putting wires in the wrong pin.
