QUOTE(CheaTeRz @ May 27 2013, 10:31 PM) here you go, hope this help 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? CORE I3 3220 - RM344 ASROCK H61M 1155 - RM139 Corsair value 4GB - RM94 SAPPHIRE 7790 1GB D5 - RM449 WD/Blue 500gb - RM164 LG DVD-RW 24X - RM59 FSP HEXA 500w - RM149 XIGMATEK HELIOS 231/232 - RM109 TOTAL - RM1507  |

QUOTE(CheaTeRz @ May 27 2013, 11:00 PM) 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. I see. Thanks for the suggestion and opinion though!  |

Hi all. It's me again. Anyway, increased budget so any recommendations for rigs around RM1.8k? Just for some gaming and photo editing purposes.

QUOTE(CheaTeRz @ Jun 12 2013, 11:55 PM) I3 3220 - RM344 I think the GPU might be a little overkill for me. What would you say about downgrading to maybe a HD 7770 instead? While upping the processor to an I5?ASROCK B75M-DGS RM199 Value DDR3 8GB 1600 RAM - RM184 SAPPHIRE 7850 2GB - RM599 WD/BLUE 500GB SATA 3 - RM159 FSP HEXA 500W - RM149 DVD-RW 24X LG - RM59 XIGMATEK HELIOS 231/ 232 RM109 TOTAL - RM1802 this is my opinion  |

QUOTE(CheaTeRz @ Jun 13 2013, 06:23 PM) well, if you more to working instead of gaming. sure why not That looks just about right  get haswell system instead  Intel Core i5-4430= RM559 ASROCK B85M-HDS RM239 Value DDR3 8GB 1600 RAM - RM184 SAPPHIRE 7770 1GB D5 RM359 WD/BLUE 500GB SATA 3 - RM159 FSP HEXA 500W - RM149 DVD-RW 24X LG - RM59 XIGMATEK HELIOS 231/ 232 RM109 TOTAL - RM1817 what kind of game you playing anyway? Mostly stuff like GTA, Assassin's Creed and the likes, both old and new. Not expecting to play games at the maximum settings either, just playable. |

QUOTE(CheaTeRz @ Jun 13 2013, 08:24 PM) Oh still if you want to get the better setting, get the 1st spec I mention. still it is playable at decent setting with 7770 tho. Actually mostly I won't be using it but my siblings will so it doesn't need to be so beefed up. I'll be heading to the States in a bit and then I'll think about getting a more beefed up rig there get an extra budget for 7790 if you can, imo its much better ^^  |
