Building a new PC

otomeskiez · Jul 3, 2012, 11:55 AM

Hi im relatively new to this and i would like to form up a desktop with these parts n parts which i lack n need to buy.

Motherboard- ASUS P7H55- M
Graphic card- SAPPHIRE HD 7750/ GeForce GT430
Power supply- Cooler master extreme power plus 460W/ Antec VP450P 450W

What i lack now is namely a hard drive, some RAM and some other parts which i need your opinion in. Will the desktop work with the mentioned parts? I'll be using the desktop for some light gaming and watching dramas.

Pls give me your suggestions and the suitable parts to be put together. Thanks and more thanks

What's your budget? Welcome to the forums.

otomeskiez · Jul 3, 2012, 12:11 PM

i guess around S$200-300

Crap Daddy · Jul 3, 2012, 12:19 PM

If you don't already have that motherboard then I'd suggest a 1155 socket board with an i3-2120.
As for the card the 7750 is much better than anything Nvidia has to offer in that price segment but depending on your budget we might suggest better cards.

otomeskiez · Jul 3, 2012, 12:27 PM

what about the other parts? as u said, im intending to continue using both the motherboard and the graphic card. what bothers me now is on the other components which i lack of. any good recommendations? thanks

Frick · Jul 3, 2012, 12:41 PM

So you need everything but those components? CPU, case, HDD and all that? Where do you live?

RAM -Something like this. Or as cheap as you can find.
Case - Something like this, I think. I have not used it but it looks .. cheap. But you have to go cheap on that budget if you need a CPU as well.
HDD - WD Blue.
CPU - Have no idea. Here you can get i5 quads for about €150 (i5 7xx), so a total price would be a bit more than $300. Dual cores (650)are about €110.

otomeskiez · Jul 3, 2012, 12:59 PM

thanks for your suggestion. im from singapore.I'll try to see if your suggestions are possible i guess

micropage7 · Jul 3, 2012, 01:00 PM

ram, bigger is better but you must use 64 bit OS to run that
you dont need expensive rams, just using standard rams

casing, cheap is ok. you can replace it later if you want

It's a shame your so far away in Singapore I have an i5 760 that would work well in that motherboard.

Aleksander · Jul 3, 2012, 01:52 PM

I would strongly recommend going with this case: COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1 Black Steel / ...
And i have heard singapore has very cheap motherboard prices and hdd

otomeskiez · Jul 4, 2012, 10:02 AM

Elmo · Jul 4, 2012, 12:40 PM

You are asking for the hdd and ram with a question mark. All other things will be ok. As cpu find something Core i3
There is nothing more you will need really.
