Hi guys, can anyone recommend me the spec for a multimedia PC?

Budget is around 3500-4000, system unit only, no need keyboard, mouse or monitor.

My boyfriend said must get with good graphic, because he will use it for gaming sometimes.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. smile.gif

I have a couple of questions if you dont mind.

Can I get i7 instead of i5? i7 is better right?
Why is the graphic so expensive?
Is 8GB ram enough according to your experience?
Do I need the 1TB HDD? I was thinking of using external HDD for storage.

both of them are the same, if you're going to multi task a lot, better take i7, if not, just go with i5
for the graphic, you said that your boyfriend want a good graphic, good graphic : more expensive
8GB ram is enough, based on my experience, dont know bout others  sweat.gif
For the HDD, up to you

Thank you for the advice.

You asked for a multimedia PC without stating extra information, so I assume it is for gaming (for your BF), movies, browsing and etc which aren't CPU demanding at all so I went with i5 instead of i7, i7 won't benefit you for those tasks listed unless you are going to do video rendering/editing etc.

You said you must get a good graphics card for gaming, so I included a high end GPU for you, please bear in mind GPU price is always > CPU price, consumer grade i7 costs at most 1.6k but consumer grade GPU can go as high as 4k (and more).

As for RAM, same thing as well, you didn't state what you are going to do with the PC, for basic stuffs (even gaming), 8GB is enough.

1TB HDD is the standard nowadays, 500GB is just around RM 20 cheaper than 1TB which isn't worth at all. Game/FHD movie file size is getting bigger and bigger nowadays, 1TB HDD is just barely enough TBH.

External HDD normally comes with 5,400 RPM only which is slower than internal HDD's 7,200 RPM FYI.

Guys, need your advise.

Idealtech seems like a good PC customization company, should I ask them to install for me instead?

I plan to buy from them, less hassle and got warranty.

Thank you very much.

Just curious, how come you can get the pricing so fast? Are you a professional PC builder?
