Actually still sort of torn between a good desktop set up or good laptop, but my instincts telling me I can get a good desktop with that budget. It will be more worth than getting a laptop, is it? :/ I do gaming but not always maybe just 3-4 times in a month. Just wanna finish the story lol. My Current rig as per siggy below kinda low for today gaming Can manage to run Metro but on 800x600 with low settings (ugly T_T)

I'll go and find, usually the shops in PJ selling around this price also is it? Any recommended shops? Or I need go lowyat only can get these price?

ohh i think got czone and viewnet in Digital Mall, guess I need go windows shopping soon le.

Hi Guys I need recommendation on a rig but the processor must be I5-3570k(RRP RM589 from Viewnet)

My Budget Around 1k just for mobo,proc,ram,hdd.
Is it possible or it is mission impossible? :/

Or any other AMD rig suggestion? Total Budget would be RM1,500 without GPU rig.

err not for me actually my friend who wanted it. :/ I already got an 3570k

So I guess kinda impossible to get 3570k ba? I'll let him know. But with his budget is it possible to get with a Modular or Semi Modular PSU?

Ohh but after some consideration cuz he's putting the rig on the living room I decided to go with Prodigy ITX build. Is this okay?
I5-4440 = RM559
Asrock B85M-ITX -RM289
8GB DDR3 Ram - RM229
Leadtek gtx760/Zotac GTX760 -RM 799
1tb hdd wd blue - RM189
6SF Golden Green HX600W Gold 80+ Modular -RM299
prodigy white window -RM310
tplink 300mbps USB WiFi adapter -RM60
artic f12 x2 - RM40
Logitech MK270 Wireless Combo - RM89

Total RM2,863.

Mind if I ask if the 1TB HDD, it is the same price no matter its 2.5/3.5inch?

yeaa hopefully not that exp tho Btw Fractal Design Arc Mini R2(that's m-atx board tho) also seems like quite a nice case. Any recommendation for ITX cases? ^^
