p/s. Is it if I choose AMD, I can only go with nvidia, or choose Intel, can go only with ATI? Not sure about this

first time customizing

On the 4850 its looking good so far better than I thought actually. the price is decent as well and keep in mind the 9600GT is almost a year old now. Haven't seen any temps or O/Cing tests on the 4850 yet but stock at that price you can't beat it

On the CPU I have had good luck with the Intel Duos personally on AMD I haven't had one in so long I can't really comment

Im not an fanboy

im just realalistic. Here in canada the prices for the AMD Processors are just amazing for the performance! For that i say it's the best bang for the bucks

now, budget drop to MYR 2500

ATHLON 64 X2 5000+ MYR 260
kingston ram 1 GB x 2 MYR 150

Gigabyte 8600GT 256MB DDR3 - MYR275? (support new games??)
or Gigabyte Geforce 9600GSO 384MB DDR3 PCIE MYR 425?
seagate 500 GB MYR 265
DVD writer MYR 90
Power Supply 550W(what to choose?) around MYR 300?
motherboard max MYR 400? Abit? Biostar? else?
BenQ G900W MYR 595
casing Encloxure Wizard should be less than MYR 180

total MYR 2515 (8600GT)
total MYR 2665 (9600GSO)

still couldn't find psu and mobo

Lacus · 28th Jun 2008, 02:21 AM

Err, for AMD right, i don't think it needs a MYR400 mobo. Well, I'll recommand getting either the Abit AX78 or the Biostar TA780G which cost around 260-300

+ hdd these day are kinda cheap..If i can recall.. 500gb only cost like 240? Dvd writer is around 75 (samsung) bout that GSO card, it's possible to get it at cheaper price + with 512mb (i think)..Hmm, a decent 500W psu should b enough (i'll recommand Silverstone ST50F which cost around 249)erm, if looking for cheaper hardwares, maybe i could help you

...

lee_what2004 · 28th Jun 2008, 03:08 AM

the 500GB available at my place is MYR 265 for seagate and MYR 255 for WD.

what about GIGA MA78GM-S2H HDMI for mobo? it is MYR 315.
psu I think leaning to Silverstone ST50F.

The problem is you can't even get more performance if you are willing to pay a little more.

Personally, I think E8000 series is the bang for the buck, overclock it to 4GHz without much issues. That is what value for money is.

iModAMD · 28th Jun 2008, 06:55 AM

Haha you have the point

And for the GPU i recommand you the 9600 GSO... it's an really good card (equivalent of an 8800 GT) ask to mac daddy he have one and THE GSO version is MADE for overclocking (GSOverclocked)

Dont take the 8600....

Adrian Wong · 28th Jun 2008, 07:43 AM

Haha.. Yeah, the GeForce 8600 series is crap.

Mac Daddy · 28th Jun 2008, 09:03 AM

Yes the 8600 series is crap Adrian thats what turned me off the 8xxx series to start with

Actually Bro I am running the Gainward 9600GT with the stock dual slot cooler. I am close to 13k on 3DMark6 tweaking things for a post on another thread
