Hello, I'd like to ask.

If my budget is RM3000, what can I get as hardware for a PC?

My main aim is to get really satisfying frame rate & graphics at gaming.

Note: The most highest graphical requirement game I've played so far is Advanced Warfare, so I think that should be around the highest I might go.

Any sort of recommendation and advice is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, I'd like to ask.

What do I get if I want a gaming PC at the budget of RM2000?

Thank you. My laptop is actually running R7 265 right now. I guess I'd upgrade my budget by a notch to increase capabilities. Once again, thank you.

Also, do you know what monitor would be the best at it's cheapest price to run 1080p for games like Advanced Warfare without lags? Preferably something in between 25-30".

Noted. Thank you for the piece of information.

Would it be suitable if I swap out the GPU with a GeForce 970/R9 280? Or do I have to upgrade other stuff in order to do this swap?

Haha, that's why I was wondering if needed to upgrade the PSU also or not.

Thanks for the recommendation, by the way. I will definitely take it into consideration.

Is there much difference when using Corsair RAM compared to he standard Kingston RAM?

Is the Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 the best choice for gaming at the pricing range of below RM1000?

I've been quoted at 2 different price ranges. One at RM2000 and another at RM3000. I did this comparison to see the games that I would play, would it be able to run at both. However, the RM2000 seems to fit perfectly with any games I would play maxed out settings at 1920x1080.

My final question is, for the RM2000 price range specs that I've received, which is this:

Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM676.28
Asrock H81M-VG4 RM178.08
Sapphire R7 265 Dual-X OC 2GB GDDR5 RM581.94
Corsair Value RAM 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RM124
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM199
FSP Hexa+ 550W RM199
Thermaltake Versa H25 RM135
Total:RM2093.30

Is it possible for me to swap out the Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM676.28 with an Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz RM899?

And if I do, would it create significant differences for my gaming/PC experience in general or is the differences compared to the price hike not worth it?

Also, thank you all of those who contributed and helped me find the best spec sheet for my PC. I highly appreciate it. Would highly appreciate this final advice too.

I think I'd stick with the current GPU and upgrade the RAM to 8GB.

Thank you.

Hey, I have a PC that I'd like to check my specs with. This PC was previously running on high i7 & GTX 560Ti GPU. However, it was hit with lightning and the GPU & processor was burnt.

I got it repaired for urgent use with a downgrade. But now I'd like to use some parts and just upgrade certain ones on it. Any help would be highly appreciated.

This PC will be mainly intended on using it for 1080p movies, surfing, documents and occasional light gaming.

The specs on this rig is:

Mobo: ASUS H61M-K (bought new)
CPU: i3-3220 at 3.3GHz (bought new)
GPU: nVidia GeForce 210(Took this out of a previous PC I had lying around for temporary use)
RAM: 8GB (using old ones that was packed in this PC)

I can't locate the model of the PSU cause I can't locate the box nor the writing on the unit itself. But judging from the previous build, I'd assume that the PSU would not require any upgrading.

I'm looking forward to making small adjustments (most probably to the GPU).

Could someone tell me what upgrades can be made at a low budget to increase the usage of this PC?

I also intend on getting a monitor upgrade to the Dell S2415H.

Thank you for the help, in advance.

Budget is flexible. However, my main output for the budget would be for a monitor upgrade.

Is there any lower end GPU than the R7 260X? Something around RM300?

Not looking for a GPU to game with, anyways. Just an upgrade cause the current one is really old and it isn't holding up.

The R7 250 will be great.

For the monitor wise, is the EW2440L as good as S2415H?

If going for 4K resolution, get the Titan X. If lower than 4K, go for the dual GTX980.
