Hi all, the specs above is what i wanna get for my gaming rig. My budget for it about 1.3k or so. My priority goes to processor and graphic for i wan to have a really good gaming experience. Fellow gurus please offer some advice. Thanks !

Err depending on resolution for games too GPU lite? Hdd, PSU and case leaves a lot to be desired as well....

1. Tradepac - SLS #05-18
2. If really want to cut costs at least hit Sapphire 512 HD 4670 $108 Tradepac? At least can do 1280 x 1024// 1440 x 900 // 1366 x 768 gaming

oh btw. do u know where to buy some kind of thermal paste for the processor?

i was curious about the pc case and power supply. how do u know that the PSU can fit perfectly in the pc case? some of them are big and some small that are unsuitable. how u guys check?

How come in MW2 and WiC, HD5670 better than HD5770?

Never tried Tradepac so can't say.

PCThemes has good service and is reputable ^^ Heard some negative feedback about Bell.

It's up to you who you wish to believe.

 

[jeffrey159]

anyone help me check if there is any of this in PCThemes

1. CM 341 $53 Tradepac (PC Case)
2. Sapphire 512 HD 4670 $108
3. CM Realpower Pro $79
4. AthlonII X3 425 $105
5. Samsung DVDRW SATA $30
7. 2GB KVR DDR3 1333 $75

i don't know where to check.

btw, must option 7 be KVR 1333? is there any cheaper DDR3 rams??

The boxed processor already comes with thermal paste under the heat sink protected by layer of film

As long as a casing can house standard ATX PSU it's all good, though certain casings like SFFs may have limit on length of PSU

Have personally bough and pointed clients to Tradepac (before rigging up for them) for exclusively AMD oriented h/w : no issues thus far Can bargain some more hehe

I feel that investing in a better TIM is worthwhile in the long run as your CPU lasts longer , no?:O.

 

[batuchka]

For stock user even light OC have peeps live off that paster that came with processor till it become dried cake liao hehe If want to but thermal paste go ahead lor
