QUOTE(xavith @ Oct 2 2015, 09:36 AM) HI Minecrafter, Intel leads in gaming industry now due to poor single threaded performance of AMD CPU, so just stay with Intel build.Thanks for your recommendation. Say if im gonna use this pc more towards gaming and entertainment would the would the AMD+RADEON be a better choice judging on it's price and performance output? So by replacing the MOBO, CPU, GPU, PSI and ram reduction will the spec below serve better for gaming?

QUOTE(xavith @ Oct 2 2015, 01:08 PM) Hi terence, By judging on your budget, it is possible to fit an i5. Appreciate your advice, so if I aim solely for gaming and entertainment which CPU and MOBO are recommended for matching the GPU? Either Haswell or Skylake is ok, Skylake is more expensive (+ RM 250 for DDR4 based mobo + DDR4 RAM). If want to save money and don't care about generation or technology, i5 4460 + H81/B85 mobo will do. |

QUOTE(Besanth @ Oct 2 2015, 06:40 PM) Guys, can you recommend me specs for a PC for RM2000? Aiming for a gaming rig. On the side note, is the BenQ EW2440L a good monitor to be used for gaming? QUOTE(Besanth @ Oct 2 2015, 11:03 PM) Guys, I'm planning on building a PC rig. Intel Core i3 4160 - RM 469My budget is around RM2000 Usage is mainly for gaming I need suggestion on whether the stuff I'd be using back is compatible or not. HDD is fine, I have 4TB worth of HDD. I have a CoolerMaster 650W ASUS P5KPL-AM Stuff such as Wireless card, mouse, keyboard & speakers not necessary. Already have them. Anyone who could help me with suggesting a rig build for me would highly be appreciated. Note: The most graphical demanding game I play is Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare. MSI B85M-E45 - RM 313 Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 199 Leadtek GTX960 2GB GDDR5 Hurricane - RM 879 Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 159 Total: RM 2019 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST) You can probably reuse RAM and case and upgrade the CPU to i5. |

If you need front USB 3.0 & PCI-E 3.0 support, top up and upgrade to a better mobo. |

QUOTE(RagnarTheRed @ Oct 3 2015, 08:55 AM) Thanks Terence. H81 you see with the mobo model is the chipset, H81 is the lowest end of Haswell, it doesn't have USB 3.0 header for front USB 3.0 panel input, but you still can access it at the rear of mobo, just not so convenient. The next thing is PCI-E support, max speed for H81 mobo is 2.0, latest is 3.0, 4.0 is due next year. Speed difference is quite huge if you see the figure but if only for GPU, it won't really make a difference.I don't think I can use my old casing. It's a standard casing like those you see in schools, offices and such. I'm not sure if it can fit all these new hardware. Also, if I were to upgrade the mobo, how much would I need to top up, and what difference will it make? Sorry, I really don't know a thing about mobos . Please enlighten me.Thank you. Some manufacturers modded the chipset and added the USB 3.0 header to it, such as ASRock H81M-HDS ans Asus H81M-K, both are priced above RM 200 now. |

QUOTE(Kaizer96 @ Oct 3 2015, 12:37 PM) I'm contemplating whether i should get a gtx 970 or r9 390. Enough, average power consumption when gaming is around 250W for R9 390 while GTX970 is around 180W.Is my 4 year old Corsair TX 650w sufficient for R9 390? How much is r9 390 power consumption when playing latest games on max settings compared to gtx 970? I'm currently using i7 2600 btw. If you are not a green/red camp fan boy, then R9 390 with more VRAM is a much better choice since your PSU is able to handle it  |
