[WTA] GPU card suggestion for RM300~350 budget

Stanley^Carter — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 19:00:19 +0800

My current PC spec as follows: -

CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz
RAM: 2GB
OS: Windows 7
GPU: Geforce 8600 GT
PSU: CoolerMaster 400W
LiteOn DVD Writer
500GB HDD

The above spec had served me quite well for over a year, allowing me to play some games like Assassin's Creed, Fallout 3, Crysis, COD:MW2, Black Ops and etc. I'm quite surprised myself that with my current GPU, I can still play the mentioned games with only noticeably lag, of course, I have to reduce and disable most of the eye candy features in game.

I'm planning for an upgrade on the GPU card, my current budget is within RM300~350.

I'm currently eye-ing on either the ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB or the HD5770.

What do you guys think? Will any of those cards work well with my current specs? Any upgrades to other parts necessary (PSU / CPU)?

Please advise, and many many thanks in advance!

Just wondering guys, have any of you here bought the fresnel lense?

it's one of those stuff that makes your screen looks a whole lot bigger/wider than it seems.

Was figuring where can we buy one if interested?

Possible to buy the Logitech G25?

Just wondering guys, this new and upcoming gaming wheel from Logitech called "G25" will be coming out soon in October.

According to this link: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products...CONTENTID=11867

"The limited-edition Logitech G25 Racing Wheel will be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in October."

I'm going crazy about this wheel, its a dream gadget for a serious sim racer like me.

Though I already understand that its not going to be available in Bolehland, and only ways of getting one is through online purchasing, e.g. Amazon etc..

Anyone has some experience in buying something from Amazon? or some other places which is not within Malaysia. Share share a bit..
