Suggestions :)

[Takuya]

Hello Guyz :P

I need help with choosing part for a new pc for mild gaming :)

I need suggestions for a AMD system that is cheapest possible to play At least 2011 games on all medium with 1366x768 res :D

thanks......

Why that specific res? Do you want to build it yourself or are you getting them to assemble it? If so, why not just buy a prebuilt system?

[Takuya]

Its cause my monitor is at that res thats why i need that specific res

and im gonna build one my self cause i find that cheaper

[paddytokey]

And why does it have to be an AMD system?

I don't know where you live but here in germany you can still get a Phenom II 965 BE for aroun 80 bucks, pair that with something like a 7770 (100 bucks) and you should be fine. Though I am sure it is not the "cheapest possible" because that is always hard to find...

Do you have some components already from an older pc that you can use? (power supply, ram, case etc.)

[Takuya]

AMD its 60% cheaper than intel XD

and cheapest possible is mean (Cheapest price you can get)

Components? its all 5-6 years old tech , except graphic card and dvd drive Lol

i live in Malaysia btw :)

Ok it's kinda hard for me to actually give a advice about specific parts because I don't know if they will be available to you or not, also because prices might be very different. But generally speaking, get a low priced amd quadcore and an entry level gpu, rest of the components really just has to work around them and have to be compared in price (with ram for example, there is only a very small difference in price between 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz here in germany). So keep an eye out for good deals^^

Important is not to cheap out on the power-supply though, or else your new computer might get toasted :(

[Takuya]

Thanks for the advice XD,but my cheap icute 400w have lasted the same age as my pc xD no failures at all

and should i buy a new graphic card? i currently have nvidia gt9400 (if can keep,im gonna use in the amd build :D )

[paddytokey]

Well, hopefully you power supply will last, but I'd recommend getting one from a well-known brand. I personally know a guy who lost his MB and CPU because his extremely cheap PSU decided to go BOOM on him^^ That's a mistake you won't make twice :D

Also yeah I would replace the graphics card if possible.

[Takuya]

Since this pc is so old

i wont bother anything except HDD,DVD and graphic card XD

[paddytokey]

BTW I have never heard anything of icute PSUs, so maybe they aren't even bad^^

[Takuya]

the brand name is ICute

Ya maybe its a good one :)

[FloRolf]

lol bro, forget the hardware and buy a new 1080p monitor! :D

But i guess you couldn't go that wrong with a fx6100 and hd7770 or even a hd7850.

[dav1257]

My suggestions would be to upgrade monitor as well lol

[Dave :)]

FX 4300, 7870, you're set.

[gliliumho]

Hi, I'm from Malaysia too. You can get most of the well known brand products such as CM, Corsair and so on without much problem. Just go to Lowyat and do a little bit of searching around the building and you'll get most of the things you need.

And I don't really trust iCute since the only ones I know of came with cases. They make decent cases but I would rely on their psu. Get a 500W or higher PSU if possible so you have room for upgrades in the future. I got a CM psu and it has never failed me since day 1. It'll be a good investment.

[Takuya]

@everybody else told me to buy a new monitor.. im happy with my current monitor,but i used it for a few month. so i dont need to upgrade it :)

@gliliumho my parent dont have a credit card,so i cant buy anything online :)

And FX 4300, 7870 is apu+gpu crossfire right? if so,im maybe gonna buy it :D

[Takuya]

My current rig? prepare to puke blood :intel pentium 4 ht clocked at 3.2 ghz

2gb ddr2 ram

A Intel motherboard (sorry i dont know the exact number)

Nvidia 9400gt

And by i mean mild gaming is that i just casualy playing game not like hardcore players

And 2011 games is like At least can play games that came out in 2011 :)

[Alatar]

It would be much easier to answer questions like this if you would state your budget for the build. A mid range rig might mean different things for different people.

But at that resolution I'd most likely go with a 4-core piledriver and a HD7770 to keep it very cheap and still moderately powerful for gaming. As for other details and confirmation on all the parts actually we really do need the budget.

[Takuya]

Let me say

300-400 us dollar?

if thats too little 400-500
