what type of super computer u wanna build with 3100??

the most high end mobo and the top notch latest fastest intelprocessor.

2 graphics card running crossfire (make sure mobo cupports 2 pci-e slots okay)

4 raptors running 0,1,0+1 or solid state drives be my guest

1000w PSU - won;t be overkill lah

a water cooled cases with plenty of colling fans here and there

optical drive 40 bucks or less can buy 1 oredi

some mouse and keyboards branding costs - look out for those

sound system? many out there, you may want a separate sound card to go with it?

display - as i wrote 50" 1

modem - ex up to 100~200 wirless ones also got

if you intend to play online make sure to pay for the monthly subscriptino to the fastest speed your ISP can provide if not a fast machine under slow network is a piece of slow machine

okay lets do the maths - you think even a budget 3100$ c an help?

I am certain that for a good gaming rig system you definitely need around 3000++....coz i built my 3 months ago for 3200++ .... anything less i doubt make sense at all.....^^

troublemaker2005 SG

really meh?

one mobo and processor combo about - 1k

2 cards running crossfire about 1k each - 2k already

harddisk no raid only 1 raptor 300gig - about $400

the rest i don;t count in yet

so 3100 enuff? no second hand stuff okies

maxsee SG

Aiyoh u are toking about super high end...like tat at least also need 5k and above....TS dun even have that kind of money...3k++ can build a decent gaming rig liao la...pls la

troublemaker2005 SG

no need lah. 1.5k can build one already. and 1.5k includes the OS - all originals hardware to software, no need second hand1.

blanace $600 i will pay angel7030 on 1 day 'photoshoot' whole day.

maxsee SG

Pls la no way 1.5k can build a pc playing battlefield 3 with graphics at max la....u list the specs throwing in everything la...show us...

Battle field 3 sys requirements

http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-system-requirements/

processor quadcore minimum and mobo - choose any uATX and the older quadcore (not even i3) - around S$400

Get a case with at least 550watts psu bundled ~ S$70

graphcis card Radeon 6950 1GBDDR~ S$400 plus minus

HDD - old dear this one now price go up, but the cheapest 500GB- S$115

Win7 64 retail - S$359 / OEM only on one mobo - S$115 (take the later to cut cost)

RAM (4GB) 2x2GB (2x S$35/-) - S$70 (PC800 for older quadcore board, Kingston is cheaper)

Monitor LCD (decent 20") - max S$180/-

Keyboard and mouse - both adds up about S$50/-

Wireless modem or hybrid with networking cable S$80/-

No sound card

Speakers - any idea? shouldnt cost too much?

know the game requirements and nail down on where you can save on cash (OS/mobo and processor) to make up for the graphics card requirement where the cost is higher - yep 1.5K plus minus is possible.

as for Skyrim - if the machine can run battlefield3, it can run skyrim - lets not discuss about skyrim - i know the game and sys requirements inside out

Hitman Factory 1 SG

hmmm..sounds like u intend to build a 3 lcd display gaming computer .when lcds are angled around you like a surround view thing....it should be great!just like a real time simulator
