The Desktop would run window XP but I was wondering about the processor, motherboard and ram that would do best to run ragnarok? Not server but client. Quote Link to comment

You can use iRO's system requirements because its pretty much universal: https://support.warpportal.com/KB/a111/can-my-pc-handle-ragnarok-online-system-requirements.aspx Quote Link to comment

Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz Asus P8H61 4GB RAM 1GB or 2GB Video Card(I suggest NVIDIA) 1TB HDD Well if you want, go buy a LED Monitor 19' or more. HAHAHA Quote Link to comment

I would recommend using an AMD processor for a budget-performance build with a Radeon video card. You want a recommendation on the processor, motherboard and ram. Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 - Run you around $99.99 and is fantastic for gaming. Beats the AMD FX 8150 when overclocked. Motherboard: Several of them.. 1. ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ ($99 and is loaded with great features) 2. GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 97 ($99) RAM: If its RO and Windows XP, you really don't need more than 2 GB of RAM. However, RAM is cheap and you can get 4 GB for like $25-$30. E.g) G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB Clocked @ 1600 MHz DDR3 will run around $26.99 (US tho) Video Card: RO really has low requirements for graphics but I wouid go with a nice cheap & cost efficient card. Something like a Radeon 6670 would do just fine and costs around $70. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814102988 (Sapphire) http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814125403 (Gigabyte) http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814127666 (MSI) So with everything, you're looking at a $400 to $500 build once you accompany the case, power supply, & hard drive as well. This build will allow you to play more graphic intensive games as well but keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment

What about the cooling option is it really require since weather here are usually rainy and sunny (tropical country). How long should I keep PC up and running then put it to a rest and start running again? Quote Link to comment

If you plan on saving on your electrical bill, turn it off when you go to bed. To keep the PC cool it depends on the design of the case, and choice of cooling on the CPU itself. Air cooling should be fine as this isn't a high budget build so you could stick with the stock fan the CPU comes with or invest in a $20-30 dollar fan (ensure its compatible with socket AM3). IMO, I would invest the money in a better fan for the CPU. Quote Link to comment
