hi to all sifus,

just a quick question and a noobish 1 too.

for normal gaming (average online games) which processor should suffice? Dual core? or just the normal single core.

and about graphic cards should i go for 256mb or 512mb

eg of games, mostly online like WoW, Ryl and etc

thinking of getting a rig that could manage starcraft 2 in the future

Thanks for the reference, i think i'll just get a 256mb since im not planning to get a big monitor a 17" will do just fine.



Oh my budget is around 1.5k ~1.8k so was just thinking about the processors needed for average gaming not those high end gaming ie half life 2 and its equivalent.



BTW how much is E7200 now anyways

hi, just another noob question again

i heard that $$$ mobos are useless if you don't Overclock...

is this true?

my question is that im searching for a rig myself and would like to know about mobo pricing, i don't intend to OC my pc at all (cz i don't even know how to >.<)

just wanted to know what mobo will be best suited for an average rig.

I also heard that cheap mobos tend to cause problems in the long run is this true?

then may i ask, how much is consider average cz i see some mobos cost 180 ~200 are those ok? cz im intend to get a pc for the long run so if topping up by a little can save my future trouble, why not?



Is this the chip set? or the mobo model? O.o sorry super noob here

hi guys,

i don't know where to post this so i decided to post it here to save space.

I've done some research today and came up with this rig

Mobo Asus P5QL Pro $320
ATI 4670 GC $350
E7200 chip $390
2x 1gb RAMs $130 (around that i guess)
320GB harddisk $180 (depends on SATA or SATA 2)
LCD 17" $520 (the most $$$ )

so i ended up with RM1890

now the prob is i still need a casing and do i need to buy a seperate PSU?

Give some opinions please. my budget is RM1.8k which is sadly over due to the LCD >.< i intend to stretch it to RM2k if necessary

any particular model you can recommend? and how my build?

another noob question

how much PSU is required to prevent problems ? would 450w suffice?

i mean for a normal rig with no OC or high end components

do you guys think that the Asus eco friendly mobo thingy really saves energy (consume less power)? or is it just a marketing gimmick?
