One of my clients threw me an RM2000 budget for a personal computer. I’m assembling it for him as a favor. His son will be using it for mostly gaming, no doubt about that. What a person likes in Facebook tells a lot about that person
Budget of RM2k for a gaming PC is nothing to shout about. It will only take you far enough for a mid-range gaming rig. At best, you might be able to run Crysis at average settings.
I started off with AMD Athlon II X3 440 and a Gigabyte motherboard. 4GBs of Corsair memory sticks, the normal ones. A 2GB Western Digital Green HDD. 450W Cooler Master PSU. And the most important component in any gaming rig, the graphics card, I went with ATI’s HD5770 with 1GB of DDR5 RAM.
Everything came to a total of slightly over RM2k once I factor in the costs of a cooler, DVD-burner drive, mid-tower casing and other miscellaneous stuff. Mind you that’s for the CPU only without an LCD monitor. He’ll hook this up to an existing 24 inch monitor. You need deep pockets for more serious gaming.
I imagine this setup is good enough for most PC games. And should last him a good three to four years before his next upgrade.
