well, depending on your budget..if your budget for gaming means they can suggest higher spec. if you wish for normal daily use like internet surfing, watching movie or light fb games then they will suggest lower spec rig which is cheaper too.

if you got 2.5k, just built a rig that will last you for few years.

Okay. What if we exclude the monitor..? Kindly advise in both builds and which is more recommen

If you are playing D2 exclusively... just swap the monitor and grab the Intel 530 120GB for RM289. Then use the remaining cash to upgrade the CPU to an i5 4460.

Is it necessary to get a 500W psu?

Not necessary, however it's always good to have some extra headroom for upgrades...

Kindly help advise on quotation as below :
1.) Intel i5 processor RM585
2.) Asus H81 chipset motherboard RM190
3.) 4GB DDR3 RAM RM135
4.) 1TB Harddisk RM193
5.) DVD R/W RM68
6.) 600 Watts power supply RM 199
7.) Full ATX casing rm85
8.) Asus 650 graphic card 4gb rm545

Well gaming rig is well for gaming. It will be more focused on GPU and a suitable processor to handle the GPU power. Normal usage is just with cheap processor because you're just using it for like FB/YT and things like that.

That Asus 650 is overpriced and weaker than the 750. RM 545 can get you a GTX 750 Ti which double/triple the power in terms of gaming and uses less power/wattage. Other than that what PSU is it?

CPU:Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM589
Mobo:Asrock H97-Pro4 RM329
GPU:Zotac GTX760 2GB GDDR5 RM749
Ram:Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM244
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM174
PSU:FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Casing:CM K380 RM149
ODD:Liteon24x DVDRW RM59
Total:RM2442
CPU and Mobo are from Lingloong@GS,GPU is from GBros@GS,the rest are from Viewnet@LYP.

If for normal usage.just take out the GPU,get Intel Pentium instead and get an SSD..
Plextor M5 Pro Extreme RM299 from C-Zone@LYP.

That's the differences.


Fixed.

The Zotac gtx760 ... holy RM 749

Hi,
Is there anything else I should chg other than the GC.
The power supply recommended by my ppl is zalman zm600

Hmm which model is it? I scared later you get the PSU something might go wrong with it. Maybe it won't deliver the enough power to juice up your systems and so on. Maybe for the same price you get the Antec VP-550w. Other than that seems fine.

The ASUS GTX650 is horribly overpriced to say the least... You could get a GTX750 Ti (not just any regular 750 Ti, but an overclocked version) for about the same price: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2836324/all (Palit GTX750 Ti StormX OC Dual, for RM560).



About twice as fast as the GTX650...

BTW, which Zalman ZM-600 units are you talking about? According to this page there are quite a few Zalman PSUs bearing the ZM-600 name.

Thx a lot. Btw, I think it's zm600-lx cause the price are the same.
I don't know. Thats all my guy told me. He said zm600watts

That looks like a very old PSU to me...
It's fine, but I'd grab the Antec VP550 instead....

Oh... It's ZM-400-LE..

RM199 for a 400W PSU...

I think you better off getting the Antec unit though, which is built by a better manufacturer(Delta). Delta-built power supplies are great, and I highly recommend them.

what's the price for a antec vp 550??

XD Viewtnet sell Corsair VS 550w = 179MYR~ is 85% eff(non brozen)but still fine

Ikr..looked that up earlier..7-8 years old..

WTH?Are u sure it costs 199 ringgit?

RM199.Go for the Antec VP-550P instead.

actually theres basically only workstation and gaming build.

normal usage was under gaming build wheres its also suitable for some microsoft office works, internet surfing watching movie and obviously gaming.

workstation are more to heavy workstuff like photoshopping, 3d rendereing, video rendering, and so on..
