1.8k max budget with monitor is impossible to get you a desktop to play at highest settings, probably end up with mid settings only with slight CPU bottleneck if the games you play is very CPU demanding.

Intel Pentium G3250 - RM 219
ASrock H81M-VG4 - RM 189
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 99
PowerColor R9 270 2GB GDDR5 TurboDuo - RM 498
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 189
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
Aerocool V3X - RM 99
BenQ GW2255 - RM 349
TP-LINK TL-WN727N -RM 14

Total: RM 1855 (GPU is from Techview, others are from Viewnet inclusive of GST)

Please note that Far Cry 4 requires at least quad core processor in order to run it, you will need to install a third party fix to play it since your budget cannot fit a quad core processor  sweat.gif

Erm.. In this case, how much budget would you recommend to increase in order to get a spec that can play triple-A games in medium to high setting?

or, what is the specs would you suggest if stick with RM1.8k, but with quad core processor?

Thanks!

If need a decent rig to run latest triple A titles, prepare at least RM 3000 (for high-ultra settings 1080p) or RM 2500 (for med-high settings 1080p), add another RM 500 for 24 inch 1080p monitor if you don't have a monitor now.

For 1.8k and want to stick with quad core processor, you end up with no dedicated GPU to run your games but I included a PSU that can support upcoming GPU (when you have money to get one later)  sweat.gif

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 689
Asrock H81M-VG4 - RM 189
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 99
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 189
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
Aerocool V3X - RM 99
BenQ GW2255 - RM 349
TP-LINK TL-WN727N -RM 14

Total: RM 1827 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Yup, around that value.

Hardware is not cheap nowadays with weak RM currency + GST.

So sad to hear this man...

Ok, if increase my budget to RM 2k- 2.2k, including monitor (RM 500), windows (rm200-300) and wificard (rm??), what games can I play?

FIFA 15 or coming 16 with highest setting?
UFC with highest setting?

Have to get a "basic" spec and slow slow upgrade the rigs dy. ohmy.gif

This setup will probably allow you to play at medium settings for latest triple A titles. Please note that some games favour Nvidia GPU and same tier AMD GPU will have poorer performance.

I didn't play FIFA 15 and UFC before so I couldn't give you the settings that you can play with this setup, but by looking at the system requirements posted by EA, you should be able to max out it easily since the recommended GPU is just GTX460. You can check out the review on Youtube for more information

Thanks man! Will do some research base on this spec. But few questions,

i3 4150 is only duo core right?
If change 4gb ram to 8gb ram will good for spec you recommended?
is benQ monitor good? Found out that few shops are recommned benQ mon too.
