I think its a cooler master but i dont think its that good.
My old computer can play battlefield 3 at high 30fps but its so old around 4 years and making noise after gaming for 3-4hours.

Alberthan · Jan 25, 2014

Do you guyd think this build is good?

note it includes a copy of windows(we cna change the build if you don't need that) and the PSU is a bit big but gives you plenty of room to play with upgrades in future. If you don't need OS the main change in the build will be from 8320 to i5 4670K.

Alberthan · Jan 25, 2014

Which one do you guys think is better amd fx-6300 or 8320 or the i5?

Scremin34Egl · Jan 25, 2014

Alberthan :

Looks pretty decent to me

AshyCFC · Jan 25, 2014

If you're from Malaysia would you like a build that uses Malaysian suppliers?

Alberthan · Jan 25, 2014

Yes actually.

AshyCFC · Jan 25, 2014

sadly i tried to use the stores on this link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1643019/guide-international-users-links-part-stores.html

but none of them were much help/only one worked.
Do you know of an online part store? Then I'll suggest a build from their that is of similar price to the one you posted.

Alberthan · Jan 25, 2014

The best is lowyat or lelong
Lowyat helps people build custom pc too
Lelong sells part only but i can take to lowyat and they build it for me.
http://linktechcomputerservices.blogspot.com/2008/07/16.html?m=1(i searched lowyat custom build pc or u guys can maybe find another cheaper one by searching that in google)
Or (name of parts) lelong

Alberthan · Jan 25, 2014

Which do you guys think is better the amd or intel processor for the r9-280x?because i remembered amd said if we paired it,it will be better.i5-4440 or amd-6300 or any other you guys reccommend.

AshyCFC · Jan 25, 2014

i5-4440 is better than fx-6300. i'll check the places you mentioned.

Scremin34Egl · Jan 26, 2014

Alberthan :

The i5 would perform better. If you can afford it, get it

Alberthan · Jan 26, 2014

Anything on the website i listed?
This too,is it good?http://www.lelong.com.my/asus-b85m-g-i5-4440-r9-280x-vaporoc-asgard-382-1tb-hdd-8gb-castleit-K1594330-2007-01-Sale-I.htm
Thanks

AshyCFC · Jan 26, 2014

looks like a nice PC build, both that you posted are great.

Alberthan · Jan 26, 2014

Is it in a great price?
How about amd fx-8230 or i5-4440
I heard amd said that if you combine r9 and the amd it will be best performence,is that really true?
Or if i combine i5-4440 it will be better.
Is there any way i cant get r 290 for $850?

Scremin34Egl · Jan 26, 2014

Alberthan :

Either combination would be good. The 8320 can be overclocked while the i5 can't. If you are not overclocking, go with the i5, uses less power and runs cooler
