Hi.

Please ignore my earlier post. Now I have some budget in mind. Please help me to decide.

I'm from Alor Star and going to Lowyat soon. Please help me prepare what to look for when I shop at lowyat.

1. CPU AM2 x2 3800 = RM560

2. MB ? Budget RM300, can OC. No point having AMD and cannot OC. Can I have old pata HD as secondary HD? MSI MS7260 K9N Neo-F Nforce 550 - RM300?

3. RAM 1gig. Budget around RM400 - How about Kingston PC5300 DDR667 - RM415

4. Display. Budget RM400. I'm into photoshop and doing a lot of things at the same. Radeon 1600 or GEforce7600, which one is better? Winfast 7600GS Extreme 256DDR3 RM490 ok or not?

5. Casing? No idea. Cooler master can? Which one for the above setting?

A lot of questions but really appreciate if anyone here could help.

EDITTED: RESULT FROM FEEDBACK

I need a setup that can OC, that's why in OC forum.

Thanks for MB info.

Now the RAM. Should I go for Kingston PC5300 of Corsiar PC5300? Or anything better but around RM400.

512 x 2 or 1024 x1?

Biostar TForce6100 AM2 or Biostar TForce 550?

6100 is small board and 550 look normal size one.

What the different in running AM2 x2 3800?

Does CM Centurion 5 comes with standard PSU? Sufficient or not? I may sound stupid but PSU never come to mind.

8tvt been asking me why I need 3800 instead of lower cache AM2 x2 3600?
My reason, correct me if i'm wrong, a lot of multi tasking, photoshop and video rendering.

I went to KL for other things too. Travelling cost me RM60, but the following is what I did on Thursday in kl:

1. Buy Canon Lens 28-135mm from a guy at Pudu
2. Sell Canon Lens 17-85 to a guy in Jaya Jusco Maluri
3. Buy cpu, mb, psu, casing, ram, HD, LCD, CF card at lowyat
4. Meet my friends then go shopping golf stuff at Kelana Jaya.

RM60 spent but a full day out in kl

Anyway, I bought Biostar Geforce6100 not Tforce 6100. The Tforce not available anymore.

Now my pc running just using built in GC. Will look for GC in this forum and lelong.

Now just oc a bit using Warpspeeder software from 2.0 to 2.1. More than 2.15, hanged.
