PSU Wattage Recommendation

PSU Wattage Calculator Tool (on Facebook)

Hi guys can suggest me a rig include Monitor for gaming mostly for Dota 2
Budget: 2.5k
Prefer proc core i5

you forgot to mention what you currently have that can re-use.

you can aim for a setup like this.


source : goldfries.com | pc buying guide

should be around RM 2.5k once you remove the monitor (assuming you don't need) and go with the market price (because i marked up the price a little).

even the setup above is more than enough for DoTA 2.

Ah,thanks for the headsup!

First time doing this..so many things yet to be learned..

Thanks for the link also!!

Just realize the new thread is on, great great .

hi guys,
can u suggest me a gaming rig spec.

-budget RM2-3k
-gaming (Can settle with Medium-high setting)
-dvd drive
-high resolution
-FIFA, COD, NFS, Battlefield, GTA etc.
-can play games for the next 5yrs
-PJ

5 years is a bit too ambitious IMO.
Though if you are willing to deal with medium settings, it might be fine.

i5 4430-RM569
ASRock B85M-HDS-RM249 (Idealtech@Garage Sales)
Kingston 1x8GB Value RAM-RM208

This is a pretty beefy build in terms of the GPU, albeit it is a bit overbudget...

can someone recommend something for RM1000 or less if possible

Proc I5 but which one?
Motherboard with onboard graphic
4gb ram


thnx

Could you please be more specific?

What do you mean by 'something'?whole rig?

MSI B75MA-P45...izzit compatible with i5 4440 since it cheaper

No, it's a B75 chipset, supporting the previous gen LGA1155 processors. The i5 4440 is a LGA1150 processor.

If you want something cheaper, can consider Asrock B85M-HDS, RM249.

thanks for the fast reply.
Just want to ask if i want a better GPU at the price range of RM500~600, can you please give me a suggestion on that?

Edit: looking for some GPU for long term use (3years without upgrade)

This post has been edited by Dondake: Nov 21 2013, 09:52 AM

Try Leadtek GTX 650 Ti Boost, RM629.

There was previously a superb promo from Feiton (look for him in Garage Sales) on Galaxy GTX 660 GC at only RM530. Not sure if they still have any stocks left.

Okay, I will try
btw, can i know what is the normal price for Galaxy GTX 660 GC

Should be roughly in the range of ~ RM700.

if i buy the r9 290 non-x version, will i nid to buy an extra cooling agent like fan or liquid? and whats the psu required?

as with any GPUs, they come with the cooling unit (fan & heatsink) attached so there is nothing extra to buy unless you're intending to modify it

for the R9 290, a good 600W PSU should be sufficient

Hello Sifus, I'm planning to build a com but am quite new to this, any help is appreciated, please and thank you.

Budget - RM3k - 4k

Purpose - Gaming

Hardwares that will be re-use - None

Already have a monitor 22 inch

Games & softwares that use frequently - Witcher series, Skyrim, The Last Remnant etc... (Mostly RPGS)

Personal preferences - Nvidia

Location - KL

Hi, I need some advise to upgrade my current rig.
this is what I have

amd phenom x3 720BE
Gigabyte ma770t-ud3p
sapphire HD7850 oc
500GB HDD(gonna die soon 1st priority to change)
power supply not so sure is gigabyte 500w or 550w
Vengeance DDR3 memory 2x4gb( after i get it only realize i cant utilize the speed my board only can support 1333mhz)
casing thermaltake Commander MS-I


Planning to spend rm1k for upgrade... please gimme some advice on what should i upgrade >_<

Main components to be upgraded only, the rest reuse:

Intel i5 4440 RM579
Asrock B85M-HDS RM249
Seagate 1TB HDD RM189

Hi, can u suggest me another MOBO around that price range? Because i can't find Asrock B85M Pro4 at my area

Can try Asus B85M-G. Please check if I got the model number correct. Just quoting from my memory.

but i heard it has overheat issues right? somehow the temp gets too high

Don't need to worry about the temperatures. It is designed to run that high.

Hey guys,suggest me a rig with monitor please:

Budget: 3k with monitor
Purpose: gaming and web surfing
Hardwares that will be re-use: none
Games & softwares that use frequently : Skyrim,battlefield,assassin creed
Location: PJ

Thanks

Intel Core i5 4440 3.1GHz RM559

Cooler Master N200 case RM149
Liteon 24x DVDRW RM64

maybe can consider N300 instead of N200. I like the N200 but N300 does give room to upgrade to ATX board.

ok, thank you
will try to check

Thanks for fast reply,will check it out
Where do you get the price?

Viewnet & C-Zone.You can also check the price inside the Garage Sales..most of the resellers carries 'em..

Hi, really appreciate your help.
but now i have another problem which is i cant find the FSP Hexa 500W PSU, so is it ok i change to Cooler Master G 500W PSU? or do u have other advise on that?

This post has been edited by Dondake: Nov 21 2013, 09:47 PM

Yup, u cant find any FSP Hexa 500W in kuching. But u can get it online.
I'm not so sure about the G series PSU, here's a brief review of it : http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?http://ww...aster_g500.html
I get this review link from http://www.techpowerup.com/reviewdb/PSUs/Cooler-Master/

Alternatively, u may get the Tauro 600W at around RM180 which offer as a not bad PSU too.

ok, will check on that. Thanks!

Edit: u mean Tauro 600W or Tauro 500W@around Rm180?

This post has been edited by Dondake: Nov 21 2013, 11:27 PM

please advise

This post has been edited by llthim: Nov 22 2013, 09:45 AM

[Budget] Around RM2.5k/AUD$800
[Purpose] Mainly gaming, internet surfing, and entertainment. Occasional graphics works and music recording.
[Hardwares that will be re-use]

I will be re-using most of my hardwares. Just looking for the best bang for buck upgrade path. Maybe a better graphics card and a new SSD. Is A GTX780 and a Samsung EVO a viable option for now? Or should I just wait, save and upgrade my entire rig in the future?

Intel Core i5 2500k (re-using)
Asus P8Z68-V Pro (re-using)
Kingston Hyper-X 2x4GB (re-using)
MSI GTX570 Twin Frozr III (upgrade?)
Corsair HX750 (re-using)
Samsung 1TB HDD (re-using)
OCZ Vertex 2 60GB (upgrade?)
Cooler Master CM690 Advance (re-using)
Liteon 24x DVDRW (re-using)
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ (re-using)

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080
[Games & softwares that use frequently] Mostly FPS (current -BF4- and next gen.) and MMORPG's, will also consider playing some RPG's
[Personal preferences] nVidia
[Location] KL/Melbourne

Maybe :

- Gainward Phantom GTX770 4GB RM1499
- Crucial M500 128GB SSD RM359

Xigmatek Tauro 500W around RM180, sorry typo .

A G41M mobo, the processor u are gonna reuse is socket 775 right?

This post has been edited by hmwgbworld: Nov 22 2013, 09:52 AM

the processor is amd phenom II x3 720BE am3 socket @@...I'm still wondering change to smaller board or reuse the board and get a cheapest graphic card... dunno which 1 is cheaper

Is the GTX770 good enough to play BF4 in all ultra settings @1080p? Is it worth the money to move a step up to a GTX780?

760 shouldn't be a problem handling Ultra performance at 1080p, what not 770? Getting 780 would be ideal for future proof.

I completed the single player campaign with a GTX 760 @Ultra Settings, 4xMSAA at 1080p. I would say the experience was pleasantly smooth, I didn't measure the FPS though. Didn't bother cause no noticeable lag.

Ok cool. Thanks for clarifying.

I need full spec pc for designer graphic using windows with 27" dual display and also dvd duplicator minimum 5 slot...

Budget?

how about Plextor M5S 128GB and Gigabyte/Sapphire R9 290 RM1499 ?

Smiliuar with Mac Pro...currently got one Mac Pro and company thinking to get Windows version...this Mac Pro last time buy RM25k...

r9 290 non-x or gtx760 sli?

You have GTX760 ady? if not go for R9 290

SLI will eat alot wattage, you sure prepare at least 800W PSU for stability

if i choose sli, bsides psu what others would i nid to change? mobo?

I think you should list out your current spec first

nop, cause i am going to build a rig soon, around this few weeks, so i intend to get a 620W psu.. but knowing sli would take much power, so bsides adding budget for psu, do i nid to change Asrock B85M-HDS which i opt to buy?

if you do SLI, you have to change your mobo to any SLI supported mobo, like MSI Z87-G45 Gaming

okie, erm do u know r9 r90 has any negative issue? like bad cooling system

if i don install extra fan when i use r9 290, is it ok? Will the gpu overheat?

This post has been edited by bingding: Nov 23 2013, 05:05 AM

No,it won't.The stock fan is just a bit noisy and sometimes hot..but it won't damage the card which caused by overheat.The replacement of fan (using the third party cooler,like Arctic Accelero) for sure will helps in reducing the hot n noise while on full stress..

normal GPU play game can reached 80++C , 95 is ok i think, Max temperature for GPU is 110c if not mistaken
but only the noise problem.

you can buy gelid fan from storm88, the price maybe below RM250

Thanks guys.
my friend insists on amd build.
Does the i7 perform far greater than the amd lineup procs?

Yes, i7 better than AMD

if i hav a budget of rm1.5k, shud i buy r9 r90 or sli cheaper gpu? say like sli gtx 650 or 660?

This post has been edited by bingding: Nov 24 2013, 12:15 AM

Go for R9 290 RM1449

SLI you need motherboard that usually cost 400 at least
And better psu

but if i sli lets say gtx 650, wouldnt the performance b greater? plus if i pay more to get better psu and mobo, altogether the price is still almost the same as one r9 290 + normal mobo and psu right?

This post has been edited by bingding: Nov 24 2013, 12:45 AM

i will suggest getting single strong gpu instead of sli/cfx 2 mid-end gpu to save hassle.
You may gain decent performance but drivers, games compatibility may also be the issue. Furthermore, u need to spend slightly more on mobo and psu to ensure the multi gpu setup works.
Precise calculation needed to make sure sli/cfx is worth it.

owh okie, erm what psu is sufficient for r9 290

This post has been edited by bingding: Nov 24 2013, 01:41 AM

True power 550-600W PSU will suffice.

[Budget]RM3500

[Purpose]mostly rendering/video editing(no heavy stuff,im still a student) and light gaming

[Games & softwares that use frequently]3dmaya,AfterEffects & SWTOR

yes,i am planning to oc.

this is what i have come up so far.

CPU-Intel Core I5-4670K
Mobo-MSI Z87 G43
GPU-Leadtek-GTX650ti boost 2GB
SSD-probably gonna buy later
HDD-reuse
PSU-Seasonic S Bronze 620W
Memory-Corsair Value Ram 8GB
Case-no clue,suggest me
ODD-Liteon 24x Sata DVDRW
CPU Cooler-CM 212X
