What do you mean by "built in CPU"?

You looking for All In One (AIO) PC?

All in one is those like Mac, which only one Monitor with built in CPU and so on.

Cheap AIO is weak and limited repair/upgrade ability.

If I am you, I will rather get a laptop and a separate monitor.

In other words, AIO PC is not future proof enough and lack of practicality (one thing gone faulty you need to send in the whole PC).

Please suggest a SFF build for office use and casual gaming, with budget of 2.2k-2.5k. Monitor and peripherals are not necessary

Most, if not all store in LYP only provide warranty claim for 1st year. After that, you can still find them for warranty claim (provided your products is still have manufacturer warranty) for some cost.

Else, directly contact the distributor or manufacturer regarding the matter.

you can buy pre-built pc like the one from acer, hp, asus or any other brands.
its less hassle to built and easier when it come to warranty as they will deal will manufacturer.

with custom built, you got more perfomance per money, easily upgrade-able, now even most shop assemble for free.
but the downside is you still need to buy OS which is cost alot, if you are not into piracy or dont know "how to".

i think you should go with custom built as it provides more benefit for you.

He looking for AIO PC IINM.

I have question to all sifus and pro at here

Window 7 VS window 8

Which one is stable n better?

and I also wandering when customize a desktop no need include a (software window price)?

Thank you

O.o Suddenly want office Pc. Haha.

nah, its for office use bro. not for personal

Windows8's perform faster and slightly "lighter" compared to Windows7. Even those AMD Turion ancient PC can run Windows8 pretty smoothly.

Stability wise I don't face much problem as compared to the era I using win7, so I will call it a draw here.

Windows isn't the only OS out there in the market. Some ppl might want to boot linux and so. Also even within windows itself there are currently 2 choices, 7 or 8. So to make things easier (and this is a rig recommendation thread, not a OS recommendation thread), we just ignore the OS unless specifically requested.

Of course, you can deny many ppl opt for ahem ahem. Hence they also don't need a genuine copy of windows.

So if you want a genuine copy of windows, reserve RM300 budget for it.

Question guys, how much money do I have to spend on a (CPU only) rig that will max the most graphics intensive games today and in the near future (maybe watch dogs, gta5, these kind of games?)

Will 3-4k be enough or will that only get me a medium gaming rig?

In near future, nobody can promise you anything.

But currently, the most powerful in the line cards like 780TI and 290X should be able to max up the graphics for most (if not all game). Of course if one card cannot (4k or multiple screens), you always have the choices of adding another 1 or even 3 cards and power up them like a boss.

One GPU alone cost around RM2k. You should be able to get the remaining parts within RM2k, so 4k budget should do.

4k is enough. If you want to max out literally it'll be in the 5k league with a 780 Ti. But 4k can get you a R9 290 already which is damn good enough if you ask me. So your budget is what? 4k? 5k? or 3k?

Settled for these instead quoted from IdealTech. Is this a good build? Please do suggest me improvement if any.

So are you going to extremely oc' the processor? If so this is a good setup. I don't know much bout water cooling though.

Thanks! I would like to keep it below 4k if possible. I only need the CPU as I can recycle my screen, keyboard, etc from my current PC.
