Hello all,

Would like to ask for suggestion on hardwares. I am currently building a gaming pc that is able to play atleast Dragon Age:Inquisition in mid to high spec.
Currently I already have monitor, keyboard and mouse. My budget is around RM2000-RM2500 and planning to build using AMD as the processor.

Appreciate it so much on the suggestions.

AMD? You'll get this lackluster performance for most games.

Not really...  Some games are beginning to take advantage of multiple CPU threads, which makes AMD chips somewhat favorable... icon_idea.gif

However, bear in mind that going AM3+ will mean there will be no upgrade path for this platform, unless TS is willing to switch to Intel. icon_idea.gif

Like this DA:I?

Thank you for the suggestion.

Would like to ask, if I use my old CPU cooler from cooler master T4, is it enough for this rig? (trying to cut cost)

Yes, you can.

Yup, but games in the future are taking advantage of more threads.  icon_idea.gif

Also, DA:I favors Intel chips. icon_idea.gif

Our price and the favoritism already makes it hard to recommend AMD.

Okay, so 990FX KILLER AMD AM3+ 499 would be better?
So what would you recommend?

If he is going to overclock, I would recommend Asus instead

CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z AM3+

Going AMD is not going to be cheap, its all about the overclocking
I would never skimp on the board, knowing that this is AMD
Better phases, good VRM
I do agree with you guys, Intel will be better

And for that, Xeon E3-1231 V3 rollovers it.

...and that's with stock clocks.  You'll have to clock the FX-8320 chip to something like 4.8-5.0GHz in order to match a 4770K on stock. sweat.gif

Like you said, "match". With ridiculous amount of power consumption. Third party heatsink and bigger power supply may even i7-4790K without third party heatsink on total cost.

so the better choice is to go for i5 right? less the hassle since no need to overclock.

Yes. Xeon E3-1231 V3 for RM200 more if you wanna spend more. Slightly slower than i7.
