Thanks a lot!

if you buy a whole system from one shop, normally installation is free... but please ensure you take back all the boxes and accessories that comes with the components

having said that, learning to build your own PC isn't so hard at all, Youtube is a good source and there is no shortage of knowledgeable forumers in LYN as well

Here's 2 tutorials. tribal94

Hey guys, I would most probably be getting the new cpu this weekend. Just to double confirm, are the spec below good enough? This was suggested by a fellow member of this forum.
Purpose : Gaming (Assassin's creed,Battlefield,etc) & 3D graphic projects (Adobe softwares)


CPU:Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 CPU at RM799
Mobo:Asrock H81M-DGS RM179
GPU:Gainward GTX750Ti GS 2GB GDDR5 RM519
RAM:8GB DDR3 1600Mhz is RM244 (What brand?)
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM174
PSU:FSP Hexa 500W RM148
Casing:CM K380 RM149
Total:RM1643
GPU is from Lingloong@GS,the rest are from Viewnet.

Corsair Value Ram.

Lol the total is RM2213 btw. You can get Zotac GTX760 2GB GDDR5 RM7xx from GBros. Still below 2.5K.

You said this in your post 1.5 weeks ago.
"Also, it would be helpful if you can suggest similar rig but with an additional purpose of 3D animation software for graphic design. I want to know the difference in price. Whether i can afford it. Thank you."
The 1.6K build i suggested is below.

"CPU:Intel Core i3 4130 3.4Ghz RM344
Mobo:Asrock H81M-DGS RM179
GPU:Gainward GTX750Ti GS 2GB GDDR5 RM519
RAM:Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RM129
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM174
PSU:FSP Hexa 500W RM148
Casing:CM K380 RM149
Total:RM1643
GPU is from Lingloong@GS,the rest are from Viewnet."

And this is my reply to the part where you said "with an additional purpose of 3D animation software for graphics design".

"For the 3D Animation purpose,get Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 CPU at RM799 and increase RAM capacity to 8GB. (8GB DDR3 1600Mhz is RM244). Should be around 2.1-2.2K. "

erm.. this one will benefit more towards the graphic porjects and less towards gaming.. you can game I suppose but on lowered details, if that's fine then go for it

I'm okay with it as long as can play games like assassin's creed and battlefield smoothly, not into HD graphics..

Yup! yup! thanks for ur suggestion! decided to up my budget to rm2.5k cos sister will be using it for her design assignments too.. SO the GPU change to Zotac GTX760 2GB GDDR5 RM7xx from GBros? better?

CPU:Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 3.3GHz RM799
Mobo:Asrock H81M-DGS RM179
GPU:Zotac GTX760 2GB GDDR5 RM7xx
Ram:Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM244
HDD:WD caviar Blue 1TB RM174
PSU:FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Casing:CM K380 RM149
Total:RM2394-2494
GPU is from GBros@GS,the rest are from Viewnet.

Btw,if you've extra money,get Asrock H97M-Pro4 RM299(from Lingloong)..for extra USB 3 Ports and SATA 3 Ports and for PCI slots(incase u need them lol)..

hahaha.. cannot la.. i had to squeeze that 2.5k out ald.. another thing is, where is GBros? and Lingloong? in lowyat? also, my dad was asking if there can be usb slot in front of the cpu? is it just an issue of casing?

erm... lingloong and Gbros main operate in the Garage sale and receives mail orders....

where are you located? might wanna take a look at Idealtech in Pandan Indah if you happen to be in cheras

and not to worry, the chassis will have USB ports in front

I stay in KL.. Bukit Jalil to be specific.. is it better to get from Idealtech in Pandan Indah?

if its closer...why not.
but the price will be a little bit different, just a little as RM10-15 more or less different for each components.

Pretty much no differences other than the size (ATX vs. mATX) and the extra PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots that the bigger board has. And yes, the ASRock H97M Pro4 actually has a second PCI-E x16 lane (CFX capable), though it runs only at x4 speed when the second card is installed in.

gaming since i'm not gonna use my pc for my work apart from that perhaps torrenting...basically an entertainment rig...thinking to change from xeon to i5 instead..not sure if i'm gonna get back to overclocking..lazy to study new terms though lol...

Hi guys i need a rig for gaming purpose, i will need a monitor as well. My budget is RM3k. Thanks
