one last question.. i noticed that the package that been suggested does not include sound card or video card.. could it affect the quality of the graphics or sounds if lets say i want to watch a video or play those low graphic games?

 

[localITguy]

you need speakers/headset or a sound card to hear the sound.(unless your mbo has buit-in speaker(you won't feel any diff in youtube videos( unless HD movies,maybe yes, and as for games., No.

as for graphics, you won't see any diff in youtube videos( unless HD movies,maybe yes, and as for games. must see what games. like flash games, No.

 

[zgw1988]

oh so lets say i want to watch dramas in hd, i would need to have a sound/video card? if thats the case, what would be the bare minimum sound/video card that i would need?

No a speaker/headset will do. really . i dun see what difference in a sound card/. i use decent speakers and headset can liao.

no need video card, your cpu has on board graphics liao, can watch hd movie no problem

as for sound card, i dunno ( read above), that is what i use. i dun use any sound card. so not sure

Drama in hd no need ba sound card mostly for high quality headphone or those sound amplifiers I think. Drama the normal processor good enough to handle le

 

[Jian19]

The onboard sound and hd4400 enough for hd video etc

Gaming depends wad game u wan to play..Facebook browser type should be no issue

 

[zgw1988]

ohh okays.. games such as football manager? i don't think that needs high graphic card? lol.. so paiseh, really is bad on this, cos the past 2 cpu i had, is ready made and someone built it for me without me knowing how good it is..
