Wrong place to ask.

this thread should be moved.

http://forum.lowyat.net/HardwareQuestions&Answers

b4 it gets moved,

how big is your monitor/lcd?
what games u planning to play?
u hardcore DOTA also gaming, u hardcore CRYSIS also gaming.

Budget RM1500 for casing or the entire CPU?
if highend gaming CPU, the graphic card cost u RM1500 already.

PLease specify la bro, we are not telepathic u know.

With LCD or without?

i got samsung LCD and my friend said budget RM1500 can get stable pc which can play so many games..
so i just asking here wether have any place to introduce might get cheaper..

CPU where got LCD wan?

Cheah... I thought your meant $1500 Central Processing Unit ...

You mean a PC issit?

sorry to make u all confuse..yes..i mean PC

let us know ur current PC specs

haha,go get urself a new GTX295 la

lol = = gtx295 buy liao fix where ?

rm1.5k buy gtx295 dont have other hardware to fix = lapsap

haha,just give suggestion for the GC,anyway his 1500 also not enough to get GTX295

if buying whole set, mean with LCD, speaker all those stuff, RM1500 will only buy for word processing..may b raise ur budget....

haha gtx295 need 2k higher 1.5k not enough .hahah

for a decent mid end rig like one i am building would cost you about 3k excluding a lcd. 1500 can buy proc + mobo + ram only

Left 4 Dead doesn't need high spec PC. Even my pc also can play L4D at max settings with AA and AF max easily. Why don't you list your old PC specs for us to see. If can just buy a GCard and you're all set for L4D.

you also knew yet doing a meaningless spam


Intel platform
Proc : Intel E5400 - RM330
Ram : 2x2gb 800mhz - RM160
Mobo : Gigabyte EG31-ES2L - RM185
Graphic : Galaxy 9600GT (oc) - RM410
HDD : 500GB - RM190
Casing : Capalang(no psu) - RM50
Psu : CM Extreme 460w - RM165
*Total cost you RM1490*

is it this one is good already? can play any game for current specs?
myself dunno what specs i having..i nvr touch before..i know nothing about pc

Yups, its good enough.. Can be cheaper...

Intel Core 2 Duo E5400 = 325 (from Prestige IT price list)
GigaByte GA-G31M-ES2L mainboard = 175
4GB Kingston DDR2-800 Value RAM (2 x 2GB) = 168
Palit 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 = 350
Lite-On SATA DVDRW = 69
Seagate / Western Digital 320GB SATA HDD = 155
AOpen ATX casing without PSU = 59 (from Compuzone)
CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 460W PSU (real power 420W) = 159

Total: RM1460

Still got quite a bit left..

Anyway, what monitor are you using?

TS,if you're not in a rush i suggest you be friends with google and read up on reviews.it's better to get some knowledge rather then listen blindly to what other people say.i mean the recommendations are solid but some reading up is better as you would know what kind of parts you really want and won't get conned as easily also. my dua sen lah.

Very true. If u know nothing about pc it is for sure u'll be conned easily by the sellers since u'll take whatever sh*t they throw at u, especially those who want to get rid of their 'no good stock'. U say u can't even check the specs of ur current system, c'mon! If they throw inferior hardware at u then u wont even be able to know it! The simple way is to check it under "Start>Control Panel>System".

I too, have nil knowledge on desktop stuff but have read up many stuffs recently before I start my first built. It is the hard earned money matters afterall.

@youloong118 and @LYNsucks, rather than complain about others and spam in this thread, perhaps you can do better by giving some recommendations for RM1500 budget?

@waikit, here is another one I came up with...

Intel Core 2 Duo E5300 = 279
GigaByte GA-G31M-ES2L mainboard = 175
4GB Kingston DDR2-800 Value RAM (2 x 2GB) = 168
Sapphire HD4830 512MB GDDR3 = 380
Lite-On SATA DVDRW = 69
Seagate / Western Digital 320GB SATA HDD = 155
AOpen ATX casing without PSU = 59 (from Compuzone)
Vantec ION2+ 500W PSU = 219 (from Startec price list)

Total: RM1504

A bit over RM1500, no biggie.. Slightly faster graphics card, downgraded the processor a bit (by 100MHz)..

@lex

No, I'm not complaining or anything. It's just that he should at least have a lil bit of knowledge on this stuff before buying. What if some of the components u suggest isnt available for sale? That'll render him helpless. If he have some idea then he can at least choose other components flexibly which r more or less the same if the said item is outta stock. Not to forget some shop might even con "oh bro i tell u this n that is not good bla bla bla instead i suggest u to pick bla bla item..."

It is dangerous since he don even know how to check the specs. I don suggest any since those suggested by u already seems quite fine.

E7200- RM350
Asus P5N-D- 190
88/9800Gt 512MB- 420
KVR 2GB- 70
WD 320GB -150
CM 460w- 159

Why worry about that? As long as he sticks to the specifications and/or gets similar parts at almost the same price, that would be fine.. TS can always hunt for those parts anyway, not necessarily have to buy from a single shop... And many of these parts are very common, so why worry? Only parts that are considered tricky is the graphics card.. such as the 9600GT one (many sellers selling this higher than RM400).

wow..thanks a lot for those who care i get conned and who recommend specs for me.

i am so intrested about everything u all guide me. I decided to bring my PC to shop let them identify 1st then i will consider need to re setup new PC or just upgrade it..

if u have friend who selling PC or good recommendation shop please let me know coz i this 2 days i going to do something with my PC

Compuzone,PC-Zone n Cycom(great discount)). (avoid Sri Computer)

thanks..i visit tomolo.

refer to your title, a very hardcore gaming machine does not come in the price of RM 1500. Are you kidding here?

why avoid sri computer? @@

got very2 bad customer service.

is there any case tat the shop say they giv u watever spec u wan bla bla. and they setup for u
then when u get home and u double check it and only notice he giv u cheapskate thing inside???

couple years ago my friend kena before. he thought he bought some dam chun graphic card, but after couple weeks only find out is just some cheapskate graphic card =.='''
forget he bought from imbi or lowyat. =.='''

got any such case? kinda scared such thing ler. -__-

That's why always check on the spot at the shop there, you can ask them to open up the casing so that you can inspect the internal components are correct. Its the shop obligation to let the customer know if they have changed any parts inside due to no stock. Always check and see that you have bought the correct stuff.

Why do some people like to buy things on spot if they dont have any knowledge whatsoever on what they want to purchase? If the seller recommend u a card, try checking via internet to check if the card is any good. Try comparing prices also, like checking through the lowyat's pc price list to make sure that the price relatively close to expected. Could be that ur friend just wanted low budget pc so they decided to recommend what's best but as cheap as possible, so you cannot really blame em.

Where to get this motherboard for that price? The cheapest I've seen is RM400.

Geesh, why everyone is asking me this? Stygix selling is less than 200 since Dec 08

hahaha..
just finish built my pc last year..
actually my budget is rm1500 also..but at the end..burn rm2000 >>almost


thats is my experience..always rambang mata..hahaha

Same. Cause a good gaming rig doesnt come cheap at the end of the day. And honestly RM1500 can probably only help left4dead at highest setting. For the rest, u may need to settle for medium setting and such. As long ur rig can play starcraft 2 and diablo 3 should be enough lol.

You know who can i speak to at stygix to get this price? i call many times d ler

change lex build a bit

amd althon 7750 BE + rm250
asus m2n 68 cm rm200
4GB Kingston DDR2-800 Value RAM (2 x 2GB) = 168
Sapphire HD4830 512MB GDDR3 = 380
Lite-On SATA DVDRW = 69
Seagate / Western Digital 320GB SATA HDD = 155
AOpen ATX casing without PSU = 59 (from Compuzone)
Vantec ION2+ 500W PSU = 219 (from Startec price list)

can upgrade to am3 proc
