Hey guys,

My friend wants to buy a gaming rig. Kindly suggest based on details below.


[Budget] RM 1.7k

[Purpose] Games

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor, Speaker, Keyboard, Mouse

[Personal preferences] Need USB WIFI too. Also, my friend prefers AMD. But could you also suggest an intel rig for comparison and which would be better in this case?

[Location] Lowyat

Thanks!

Going AMD for gaming is a bad call these days. How about these?

MSI H81M-P33 motherboard - RM189
Kingston 4GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM129
Leadtek GTX750 1GB DDR5 - RM429 (from C-Zone)
WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM174
DVD writer of your choice- RM59
Antec VP400 power supply - RM109
Gigabyte GZ series case - RM69

RM1727 total

Optional:
Leadtek GTX750 Ti 2GB DDR5 OC - +RM100 (RM529 from C-Zone)

Hi Guy,
Can recommend me a 24" monitor??
Thx

Got any budget in mind?

Else, can consider Dell U2414H, RM859.

how about viewsonic vx2370smh-led?.

im looking for 23" gaming monitor, it is good?.

Viewsonic is nice. If possible, I suggest you audit them personally and compare which suits your eye the most.

Dell U2414H is the best choice??
if budget below 700 any choice?

Hi guys,

[Games & softwares that use frequently] DOTA 2, FIFA 14, Adobe Premier Pro

Thank you !

Dell S2440L, RM679.

S2440L is glossy panel？？
How about Aoc I2369VM??

Dell is glossy. If you don't prefer glossy, can go with the AOC monitor instead.

If the budget below 700 choice AOc??
If no U2414H is the batter choice?

Got a few others as well from Viewsonic or LG. Up to you.

I personally prefer Dell due to the warranty support.

Ok，thx for ur advice~

Seems this monitor have some issues like not able to display back the screen when coming back from sleep mode and not displaying full color range through Display Port connection? Is it still OK to buy it?

wow... dell still facing this issue ?

have u seen Dell S series glossy screens? for me they are damn nice.
yesterday i go around lowyat plaza choosing monitors, LG just looks too bulky, BenQ overpriced, Samsung too plain, Phillips on par with AOC but more pricey. AOC and Dell are the only good ones.
i just bought Dell S2340L rm540 at viewnet lowyat plaza lvl3. free hdmi cable 1.8m

price between 22" to 23" is around rm60, but price from 23" to 24" is around rm120.. 23" just feels more worth it to buy.
