hi all,

need some help in replacing my dad's old rig... only a simple set up is needed...

[Budget] RM 1000 or lesser
[Purpose] Surfing, emails & YouTube
[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor, keyboard & mouse
[Monitor resolution] Reusing
[Games & softwares that use frequently] Outlook & Chrome
[Personal preferences] None

thanks in advance for all suggestions...

Easiest would be getting refurbished with adequate RAM and updated windows

Eg: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4607278
Ask for another 4GB RAM and get a windows 10 license from online sellers

what?..which compuway?..got many stock?...

yeahh i guess..targeting that acer rn ahahaha

Lesser? If you can push the US Dollar down, it will be good.

How about these?

Pentium G5400 - 225
MSI H310M PRO-VH - 270
Kingston 4GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 155
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 180 (Optional if you can reuse it)
Thermaltake Litepower 450W - 149
Tecware Core mATX case - 89

RM1068 total (C-Zone prices)

Saberkas

last nite i go there didnt notice lol

your rig's largely share some similarities with mine except for the brand as well as your mobo

i also planning on upgrading my RAM from 8GB to 16GB, does it have to be the same speed as in:-
If i already have 8GB DDR4 2666mhz, then i have to use the same DDR as well as 2666mhz, cannot pick the ones with DDR3/3000mhz?

Mixing DDR4 with DDR3?

288 pins vs 240 pins.

No.

hi, i'm looking to build a casual gaming + movie rig with mixed of used + new parts. i'll be playing games like just cause, dragonball fighter, battlefield, far cry, and some car racing games, mostly single player games i'm already got a new LG29WK600 ultrawide freesync ips monitor. now i'm looking at the combination of

intel core i5 4th gen
8gb ddr3 x2
amd gpu (to utilize freesync)

i already got a hynix 256gb ssd standing by for my os drive, and 2 x 1tb for my media and storage.

my question, is the cpu good enough? which gpu i should get in order to play those games in highest setting.

i'm open to suggestion for full new build as well. welcome to recommend and comment

What is your budget? How much ram do you have now? The 16gb as listed? You might want to get at least RX580 8GB.

my budget is preferably around rm1500 for the gpu. so is the i5 4th gen and 16gb ram + sapphire rx580 8gb nitro+ enough to run those games in highest setting?

Hmm. Why don't you Google up individual games and see if there are gameplay videos, see if acceptable to you.

Far Cry 5 and Just Cause 4 calls for i7-4770 in recommended requirements

Alright, I'll take a look at these 2 gameplay. Thanks.

Hi..i would like to upgrade my pc, especially gc. Can u guys recommend gc for my pc?
Budget around 2.5k. Or any other parts that u guys think i should upgrade?
Pc use for gaming only.

current spec
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
RAM: Apacer 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHZ Value Ram
Graphic: Leadtek GeForce GTX660Ti 2GB
PSU: Cooler Master GX650 Bronze
HDD: WD 500GB
Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer Extreme Rev 2

In terms of GC, I suppose the GTX1060 6GB would be a good choice (around rm1250)

But for longer term solution, consider upgrade whole platform
Intel i5-8400 with B360 board and 8gb ddr4-2400 would cost around rm1400.

You could reuse other parts, eg PSU, HDD, casing

If you resell CPU+mobo+ram, then can go towards more ram and SSD. Also consider upgrading your PSU.

Hye can annyone recommend me full/semi modular psu bronze rating abovr for my rig which budget around rm250-rm300
Before this using fsp hexa+ 550w but kaput already after 3yrs 3 months. Its better if can get psu with 5 years warranty.

Current rig spec
i5 - 4460. (planning to upgrade to 8th gen next year)
Asrock b85m
8gb ram
1 ssd, 1 hdd.
Gtx 960. (planning to upgrade to gtx 1070 next year)

i3-8100 (440-470)
Matx size B360M board (280-350)
8gb ddr4-2400 (290-320)
Gt 1030 or gtx 1050 (320-570, optional)
250gb SSD (190-220)
1tb HDD (180)
400-500w PSU with decent ratings (220-280)
Casing (80-150) (mini/slim tower for matx)
22-24 inch fullhd monitor (300-550)

You need to select own speakers.
