64-bit. Win7 Home Premium is enough already. Get it from Idealtech at RM150 if you buy the PC from them.

Between Cooler Master V650 80+ GOLD and Seasonic S-SERIES GOLD 650W, which to choose? they both nearly the same price

What is the best bang for buck case other than Thermaltake Versa H25? because I've been reading reviews and many people say its very thin and VERY noisy... I don't mind the look, but I don't want something noisy, if anyone has this case, care to shed some light on this?
*
Seasonic is better than V650 Semi-modular but it is not far ahead. Both are good units.

Cheaper casings has lower noise supression due to the material used. Try adding some anti-vibration stuffs on it to help reduce the noise or use fans that is less noisy. Adding dust filters also helps soaking the noise.

Motherboard has 3 years warranty. Can't recommend better PSU due to budget unless you want smaller monitor.

QUOTE(bryan2jzgte @ Apr 13 2015, 10:53 AM)
Morning guys. I have a few questions to ask in regards to upgrading my 'rig'.

I have a Dell XPS 8000 fresh from Dell since 2009. Nothing has been changed yet but I am planning to do a little upgrade cause I bought GTA V from steam without even thinking about my little rig *oops*.

Specs are as followed.
Intel Core i5 - 750
2 x 2GB 1066Mhz RAM
Nvidia GTS 240 1GB DDR3
P55 Chipset

I'm not a tech guy, I mean in depth wise, so I need some help from the sifu(s) here!

1. Can I run GTA V in the lowest resolution without upgrading?

2. If i was to add some RAM to my pc, is the Kingston 1333 2GB a good buy? I can't find any 1066 anymore sad.gif. I've read on some forum that If you mix 1066 and 1333, it will automatically underclock the 1333 to run the same speed as the 1066 right? OR, I should remove my existing RAM cards and go for 2 x 4GB 1333Mhz?

3. If Im not happy with the resolution (provided that I already have 8GB of RAM), Whats a decent and cheap GPU recommendation? RM 350+-

Hope I make it clear enough not to confuse everyone here lol. Cheers!

Comments and advices are super super welcomed! I can learn at the same time biggrin.gif

Nope. GTS240 1GB DDR3 is slower than 9800GT.

QUOTE
CPU:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz

Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1, Windows Vista 64 Bit Service Pack 2* (*NVIDIA video card recommended if running Vista OS)

You can only get Leadtek GT740 for the budget you have. Unless you can fork out money for better power supply.

Oh my.. I just checked on 'can i run it' app and it tells me that my cpu meet the minimum requirement for GTA V. Shit.. The app lied to me?

Regarding to number 2, is it better to buy 2 more 2gb or remove all of my existing ram and put 2 x 4gb?

Any other recommendation?
*
Your graphic card is not even as fast as 9800GT. Yes, the app lied to you. You will have absurd lag running with GTS240.

Check with Dell before you touch the RAM. Upgrading branded PC is a pain.

Oh man.. This isnt good. What can I do to run GTA V at the lowest in my current setup? Will it work if i change my GPU and add a little more RAM? If yes, what model recommendation?

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it alot.

Try bringing your PC to the shop. Switch it to Leadtek GT740 or GTX750 1GB DDR5. This game might favor Nvidia after seeing the Vista requirements.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I think this will be my probable decision :

- Add 2 x 2gb 1333 RAM
- Change my current GPU to GTX 750.

Oh one question, which model to take for the GTA 750? So many brands and models.

And I saw another GPU which is the Sapphire R7 240 boost which has 4GB DDR3 VRAM. Is this better since it has a higher RAM? Need help clarifying.
*
Just go for Leadtek. It is the cheapest. R7 240 is nowhere close compare to GTX750.

Alright. I was considering R7 265 but it seems I will have to change my PSU as well. Think Ill swap out my GTS240 with a GTX750.

So ill get the Leadtek GTX250 1GB or 2GB?
*
Yeah, R7 265 will require the change of PSU.

Its GTX750. Don't bother with 2GB. GTX750 Ti has 2GB for stock VRAM.

hi people.

planing to get a new HDD for secondary storage soon as i'm still sticking with old chunks of <= 500gb HDDs for combination of game and movie files.

Current rig specification:
Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V-LE (2*SATA III & 4* SATA II)
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600k OC 4.4Ghz with
~Cooler: Corsair H100i WC
RAM: 4*4GB Kingston HyperX 1666Mhz DDR3 (blue, not sure which variant but it is about 3~4 years old)
GPU: Gigabyte WINDFORCE GeForce GTX-970 GAMING (rev. 1.0)
Casing: NZXT H440 Black Blue (drive bays: 6*3.5" & 2*2.5")
PSU: CoolerMaster Silent Pro 700W

Storage:
1st SATA III - 120GB Kingston SSDNow (again not sure which variant but I remember buying together with @terence_nwb on the same model.  tongue.gif  I'm already satisfied with the performance for OS booting and running casual stuff so not planning to change unless rosak)
2nd SATA III - 500GB (forgot either SG/WD 5400RPM)
All SATA II - 240GB + 160GB + 80GB old drives.

Well I think for the storages' models we don't really need to know much as it just for reference. I apologize for the forgetful-ness as I did not open my rig to check all the models.  sweat.gif  Ayam at workplace making this post because too bored and nothing to do  whistling.gif

I'm deciding between Seagate SSHD/WD Black or Seagate's 5400RPM/WD Blue drives, targeting 2TBs for size. The main concern is does the the RPM actually matter on game loading speed or any graphic processing working with the GPU? I've tried putting Dota 2 in my SSD and obviously it will load faster than putting it on 5400RPM HDD. But how does 7200RPM & 5400RPM differ?
*
Yes, RPM (Revolutions per minute) does matter. The disk spins faster for the read/write head for data.

Whats the difference between GTX 750 & GTX 750 OC? Does it have obvious difference? If not I would prefer to buy the cheaper one.

OC is factory overclocked. It has a few percent higher performance.

I found an Asus GTX 750 for only RM425. Im a bit afraid to buy cause sifu(s) here mentioned that it will be a bit expensive for Asus, Gigabyte & MSI cards and I've cross referenced with some of the price list and there are like average 500+. Any thoughts? It a small PC shop in Digital Mall, section 14. And they are selling 1333Mhz RAM for 79 per piece. smile.gif

Thanks.

That is cheap. Looks like before GST price.

As for the RAM, that is up to you.

Im faced with problem running Dota2 with 1920 x 1080 resolution.

It can support up to 1600 x 1040 only. Beyond that resolution 1700x1000 and 1920 x 1080, the graphics looks not so nice. (at 16:9 aspect ratio). But when i play 4:3 the graphics is OK but the screen is not full screen.
Is it because of graphic cards problem? Sorry, i'm quite noob with computer stuffs...

I'm using Gigabyte HD7750 graphic1gb ram ddr5

I also have a spare GV-N630-2GI. ( is this one better than the above?)
Does any of those 2 graphics card help to support 1920 x 1080?

Or do i need to get a new one, and which graphics cards can support 1920 x 1080? How about GTX 660 Ti, can support or not?
*
Looks to me your monitor maximum resolution is 1680x1050. It's not the graphic card issue.
