OC: YES
WC: YES

U HAVE:

Recommend setup intel to me...need proc,mobo....

Intel Core i3-2100 RM339
MSI H61M-P31 B3 RM149

Total: RM488

ASUS P8H61-M LX rm189
CORE I3 2120 rm349

total: rm538

+about rm6x for 4gb ddr3 RAM

Budget is rm500 right?

Listed are via Viewnet pricelist

not sure about what's the purpose of upgrading, perhaps this

intel core i3 2100 rm339
msi b75ma-p45 rm224 / msi h61m-p31 b3 rm149

I totally agree with this. If and only if the sole purpose of the desired rig for for gaming, you dont really need to go all out on it. Can do more personal tweaking to the parts stated by zerohunter. Other than that, the rig is good to go.

Ofcourse, he can opt for the IPS monitor is so desired.

[Budget] Not the issue.

[Purpose] Home server, VM, decoding and has to be as quiet as possible.

[Monitor resolution] I have my own.

[Personal Preference Brand] Looking for a dual E5 setup, Corsair and Asus.

bro he said that he already have

wd blue 1tb
600t
tx850

at first budget 3k++, the ++ can up to 1k but prefer not to

he also said dunno oc but wanna learn, also wanna make water cool, also planning to sell the 600t for full tower

i guess he himself has many doubts and dunno what he really NEEDS, but he's very sure what he WANTS

Okay.... Im confused too now. Have to wait for him to clarify i guess.

TQ guys..just for my bro little gaming only...his using old 9800GT..so i think this item enough right? Can beat AMD FX 4100?

Can beat FX4100 by alot

Mid tower is perfectly okay for WC, take zero's case for example
Why get so expensive motherboard when u dun wanna SLI
if u not going for looks, no nid performance ram

ASUS P8Z77-M will do, if he doesnt plan to SLI in the future.

that why i asking should i or should i not because it good to have everything for future .if that the case i going for extrem 4(black pcb and gold ) to cut cost and to match my tx850w (orange lable and black )
i do not want to have a m-atx mobo looks really small .and why i am change casing becasue 600t bad air flow and not water cooling friendly (bad for future)
