Hello.. thx for the suggestion.  btw, did u suggest intel xeon for specific reason?  I don't know much about it but when i look it up on web, it said it's for based-server pc?  Can you explain a little bit on this matter?  And I would like to add that my main purpose would be 3D rendering but at the same time i would like to run games like battlefields 3 in good graphics too.  and would it be possible to get a SSD Harddrive too as I've heard that it's good for rendering and such thing.

Thanks alot.

owh.. if my rig spec change to xeon, is it ok??

how about GIGABYTE H77M-D3H? because it is cheaper^^

thanks.

Im trying to build a rig end of this month.

Based on the Jayacom pricelist, I think im going for this rig.

Core i7 3770K 8MB 3.4 RM1010
D3 HyperX 1866 4Dimm 16GB RM445
240GB GT Sata3 RM799
P8Z77-V LGA1155 D3/ CrossFireX/ SLI/ GamingBoard RM649
GTX 660 Ti Direct CU II / DirectCU II “O ” 2GB DDR5 192Bit RM1160
ASUS Box Dvd+RW 22X RM57
CM690 II Advance Desktop Chasis RM370
23” LG LED monitor E2341V RM450
Logitech® Gaming S520 RM148
Z523 Logitech Speakers RM265
Backup power BK650-AS RM265
I don't know how to pick a power supply unit for this build.

It end up with the total price of 5600+.
Any suggestions what sort of stuff i should improve on and cut short off?
Budget is around 5.5k for me.

then i have no choice jo lo only can get gigabyte ga-h77m-d3h or asus p8h77-m-le haha

Are u trying to say h77ma-g43 ?

Both gaming and rendering, running alot of Sony Vegas stuff lately.

Overclock yes. SLI maybe no.
But then again, whats the price difference between SLI and non-sli.

Im not sure what kind of desktop chasis and cooling system to use if i overclock it.

1. do u really need 16gb? what's the purpose for this pc actually? gaming or work?
2. is 240gb ssd necessary? usually 120gb is sufficient for os, programs and games (like what i'm doing now)
3. if u really buying, let me know i recommend u a place for better pricing

Both gaming and rendering, running alot of Sony Vegas stuff lately.
