QUOTE(ChickenAyam @ Dec 17 2013, 08:09 PM) I don't really need SSD, HDD will do just fine for me. Price for R9 290 gone up? because of litecoin mining? I'm buying all of this in January, so maybe I'll just wait and see what will happen to the price. Might even wait for version with better cooler. Couldn't find any CM K380 on newegg. Can you suggest other case? Lastly, is the monitor better than the Asus I picked before? Not sure what to look for when buying monitor.. In US yes, in MY not yet.   So you either act fast or go green. The monitor is a dell ultrasharp, which is well-known for the quality, color and reliability. This post has been edited by Human10: Dec 17 2013, 08:40 PM |

QUOTE(bananalow @ Dec 22 2013, 10:23 PM) Can someone recommend me a gaming rig without monitor. Thanks. I am rather new here, and not really a Pro in rig...Budget 3.5k+- But I believe most will suggest as below, CPU - i5/Xeon/i7 (600-1k++) GPU - AMD R9 280x/290 (1.1k-1.5k) PSU - 600w 80+ gold (SuperFlower Golden Green 600W) and above (300++) MOBO - H87/Z87 (400+) RAM - 8GB (230+) HDD - 200+ SSD - 300+ Casing - 200+ SSD/Casing is quite subjective, you can forgo them and add some extra performance on GPU or CPU. If overclocking then adjust the budget to MOBO and PSU. This post has been edited by Human10: Dec 22 2013, 10:40 PM |

QUOTE(CalintzZ @ Dec 22 2013, 10:41 PM) hye guys can any1 suggest me 1 budget desktop no monitor CPU - i3 4th gen (364)budget: rm1500 n below non gaming, just for surf internet and doing office job. gonna buy it for my dad MOBO - ASROCK H81M (179) GPU - Not needed RAM - 4-8GB (120-230) HDD - 1TB (190++) SSD - 128GB (320++) CASING - generic (39++) PSU - FSP Hexa 500w (149) MONITOR - Not needed Total for the minimum is around 1.35k. The extra budget can be used for getting a better casing, mobo or add ram till 8gb (IMO, 8GB too overkill...). Also, for OS?  BTW, for an office PC and 1.5k budget, you can get a Dell, preinstalled genuine OS + less hassle if anything gone wrong (though, no SSD in prebuilt at 1,5k price).

QUOTE(wintzen @ Dec 28 2013, 05:22 PM) Care to shed some light on why Xeon? Because Xeon is like a i7 lite (minus some non-vital features - iGPU, overclocking and so on) at a cheaper price.This post has been edited by Human10: Dec 28 2013, 05:54 PM |

QUOTE(wintzen @ Dec 28 2013, 11:23 PM) If I bump down to i5 and the 650 Leadtek, is it still good? Try to squeeze in the monitor.....or if the monitor can be slightly smaller? At least get the 2GB TI Boost version to be more future proof, just a tad more pricier than normal 650. |

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Dec 29 2013, 10:53 AM) What GTX? I presume the 760? No casing.Looks nice... Though for 3K you can squeeze for more... R9 280X anyone? 16GB is overkill for games actually i5 4440-RM579 ASRock B85M Pro4-RM259 Corsair 1x8GB Value 1600-RM209 WD Caviar Blue 1TB-RM189 Seasonic S12II 620W-RM299 LiteOn DVD Writer-RM55 Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X-RM1099 Total: RM2689 R9 280X yo....  I think if his budget is tight, better keep with GTX760. |

QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Dec 29 2013, 03:46 PM) Not necessary if u just plan to use that rig for normal usage and some flash games. The integrated graphic by Intel chip is more than enough. His photo editing programs no need graphic processing? |

QUOTE(teranun @ Dec 29 2013, 07:35 PM) Sifu can you also guide me u want to build a desktop computer? Ultra setting, better prepare minimumly RM3k for the rig alone (means monitor, mice, keyboard, speaker and so on not counted). Of course if you can make it 4k will be even sweeter.Budget dont know yet, i just want to play all latest games in high to ultra settings... can you give me specs and price for it? Monitor not included yet... CPU - 600-1k MOBO - 300-700 GPU - 800-1.5k RAM - 220-500 HDD - 200-700(if include SSD) PSU - 300-800(if plan to overclock or SLI/XFX in future) CASE - 300-1k++ Try to strike your own balance in between.

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Dec 29 2013, 11:10 PM) If you stick to my recommendation,you can get Dell S2240L 21.5' RM489 so it kinda fits with the intel xeon e1230 v3 and GTX760 rig i recommended. And in your rig, the GTX760 is RM850, where in TS built is RM799. Can always buy and install seperately one.  |

QUOTE(jimmy.soo @ Dec 30 2013, 06:35 PM) So if I get the case from either one of them and let IdealTech to install/assemble, do u think they allow or willing to do that? Still sound sensible enough for me as you still get the remaining 90% of the part from them.Just tell them that you already had a case from friend or to be reuse...  Else, just say to them they don't had what you want, nuff said.This post has been edited by Human10: Dec 30 2013, 07:04 PM |

QUOTE(shilokostar @ Dec 30 2013, 09:24 PM) Hi. Just get the 2GB version, some seller sell at only RM530+.I wanna build rig for all rounder (editing, movie, gaming). Budget is tight RM2500 max for rig. Here's my build:- Core i5 4440 RM569 Asrock B85M Pro4 RM279 Leadtek GTX650 TI Boost 1G RM499 Corsair Value 8GB RM229 1TB WD Blue RM199 Seasonic S12II 620W RM299 ODD RM55 For chassis, I'm taking Bitfenix Prodigy M / Phenom M (cost around RM319). But then I hope I can make it below 2.4k as I'm getting Dell 23" U2312HM IPS for monitor in my total 3k for complete build. I concern on GPU whether 1gb is good enough or not for the build.. Is this build good to go? Any recommendation or changes need? |
