QUOTE(rav3n82 @ May 23 2014, 04:11 PM) Do you need a monitor? Why settle for i3, when you can have an i5?  Though if going for Bitfenix Prodigy, it may break your budget. Intel Core i5 4440 – RM559 Asrock B85M-G – RM279 Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz – RM244 WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM179 Zotac GTX 760 AMP! Edition – RM899 (Cycom) Cooler Master K380 Casing - RM149 FSP Hexa 500W PSU - RM149 Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59 Total - RM2517 (prices are from Viewnet)Optional:Bitfenix Prodigy-M - RM319 (lingloong) ...and severely limits expansion... not to mention the Prodigy is a huge mini-ITX case to start with.  Even some microATX cases are smaller than this... |

Note that modern games can utilize 4 physical cores, or even more.  BTW, the Prodigy is not a small case to begin with. |

While Core i3 is very powerful and is sufficient for most of today's games, an i5 would be more futureproof per se. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

I'd recommend Silverstone cases instead, even though they don't have the best styling, but they are very well engineered. TJ08-E user here..

All the IT stores in Lowyat are fine. You can always let them know what components you want, and then compare prices. |

Different people have different experiences. By far, from my personal experience, I find that Cycom has always been the best in terms of customer service. The worst was Jayacom, never layan me never mind, but when ask them something it feels like i'm talking to a wall.  |
