I saw on internet about this PC, http://www.acer.com.sg/ac/en/SG/content/model/PT.SFJ02.021
Eh don't care about the price please.. I just want to know isit good? Compare to
I5 2310 2.9GHZ
Asrock H61
Kingston 8GB Ram
Hitachi 1TB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6790 1GB
500Watts PowerSupply (I forgoten to ask what brand isit.)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

I researched the internet and found out that Nvidia Geforce GT440 1.5GB graphic card bendwidth is only about 40gb-50gb/sec. Compare this graphic card to AMD radeon 6790 which is better?
 
Budget, location and preferred place to buy parts from. Then we can list parts you can buy and put together for your computer.
 
SGD $1000 ~ US$824

We can get you a list based on us$700 - 750. Just assuming the component in your country is slight more expensive. however, you will need some one to build it for you.
 
AMD - Phenom IIx 4 955
mobo - Asus/ Gigabyte AMD 970 chipset

Or
intel i3 2100. go for i5 if you got money
mobo - Z68 chipset. again go for big brand like asus/ gigabyte

RAM - 2 x 4GB DDR3 1600.

HDD - 1TB WD black/ Seagate 7200.12/ Samsung F3

Video card - 6870/ 6950/ GTX 560Ti. Depends on budget

PSU - Go for 500 -600W. brand like Corsair/ XFX/ Antec/ Seasonic.

Case - find budget case with good air flow. e.g. CM haf 912, Antec 300.
 
i've heard hitatchi is crap, and the samsung f3 is supposed to be the best speed for price from what i was told by someone here, you want 1600mhz ram, almost same price, it was 6950 or 6870, those 2 are a decent bit appart on performance, but i wish i had either :), you'll need a 550 at leats as the higher end gpu's like you want pull alot and you want a 50+ watt headroom at all times to be safe as the listed watts isn't correct, and generally is also closer to the peak, not the continuous wattage. and that won't max bf3 on maxish settings with the 6790, and forgot to say there is a big diff from black to hita., a caviar black is similar to a blue, but has a second processor on it that allows it to put out more than a blue, but it costs a bit more than the hitstchi too, but the f3 or wd blue or seagate barracuda are still better.

6790 will max BF3 im pretty sure.

In Singapore(Where am in) I cant find Kingston 4Gb/1600mhz ram but I found the Kingston Hyper-X DDR3-1600mhz-$90sgd and is Double the price of Kingston 4gb/1333mhz-$32sgd, If I would had choose the Kingston Hyper-X DDR3-1600mhz then I can only afford a 4gb ram. Is that worth? And the Motherboard should i get the HDMI? Or others?
OH! Radeon 6790 able to max BF3 full settings? Im very confuse.. Same say can some say can't. Do I really need a SSD? And whats an SSD btw..
 
How about my Motherboard? I hope to change ASUS P8Z68-V LE Motherboard to a cheaper Asus motherboard cause this is kindly too expensive.. Which should I get(Just a normal one will do, with 4slots ram,can overclocked and good features).
