The buyers here are those who have good incomes, want an equally powerful system to meet the demands of working power but not able to afford a high-end PC model.
+ Select CPU
Of course, you won't be able to afford the latest Core i7 CPU, instead choose Intel's Core 2 Quad Q8400 quad-core system with a 2.66GHz clock. This model is produced based on the latest 45nm technology and has a reference price of only 3.3 million VND (185 USD).
+ Select motherboard
Not the Intel, Asus or Gigabyte that the elite representative of that mid-range product is TPower I45 of BioStar. Despite being in the middle class, this model of BioStar has the ability to overclock the CPU "extremely". It supports 2 graphics cards running in CrossFire mode, full of necessary connections, 7.1 sound, etc. However, this board is not equipped with FireWire port. Reference price of this motherboard is VND 2.9 million (160 USD).
+ Internal memory (RAM)
The representative on this line is OCZ's Platinum PC2-8500 2 × 2GB model. This is a speedy RAM model with a large capacity, equipped with a built-in cooling system that can operate smoothly during overclocking process. The price of the kit is also quite appropriate at 1.1 million VND (65 USD).
+ Graphics card (VGA)
Not as powerful as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295, but the Radeon HD 4770 is still capable of displaying the best high-end gaming images that many gamers still choose: Crysis, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 5 . The reason is that this graphics card can support 1600 × 1200 pixels or 1920 × 1200 pixels, but the price is only 1.8 million dong (99 USD).
+ Hard drive
There are plenty of options for an intermediate hard drive, but perhaps the most outstanding representation in this product line is Samsung's Spinpoint HD502IJ 500GB. Reference price of this hard drive is 915,000 VND (50 USD).
+ Sound card
Choose the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer with excellent sound quality. Reference price card is 1.46 million VND (80 USD).

+ Cooling device
Cooler Master RL-EUL-GBU1-GP Aquagate S1 is a liquid cooling device for high efficiency and reliability, good quality but quite affordable. It is very suitable for overclockers. Their reference price is only about 1.37 million dong (75 USD).
+ Computer case
Beautiful and powerful. That is the comment on the Nine Hundred case of Antec. Its reference price is 2.74 million VND (150 USD).
