Hi, I would like to buy a new PC for working purpose.
My PC target is listed below.

[Budget] RM 3,000 - 3,500

[Purpose] Workstation

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig] None

[Monitor resolution] 1900 x 1080 (target samsung 27")

[Game or software that use frequently] Autocad, Solidwork & etc.

[Personal Preference Brand] ASUS

[Location] KL

I found NVIDIA Quadro is special for workstation purpose.
I would like to have a try but the price is expensive.
Would it be worth compare to a normal GPU.

Thank, hope heard some feedback soon.

i was wrong with the mobo, you should go ahead with B85M-HDS-RM249, to pair with the Xonar XD.

look up for the specification here;
http://www.asus.com/Sound_Cards_and_Digita...#specifications

you can compare with what you need. ^^,

from the price list;
Liteon BLU RAY COMBO 12X - RM249
Liteon BLU RAY RW RM299

Asus brand is quite expensive, other brand is as good if you're willing to compensate:

CPU-Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3-RM815
Mobo-Asrock B85M Pro 4-RM289
Memory-Corsair Value Ram 2x8GB-RM458
SSD-Plextor M5S 128GB-RM349
HDD-WD Blue 1TB-RM189
GPU-Gainward GTX 760 Phantom 2GB-RM880
PSU-FSP Raider 650W Silver certified -RM279 or Super Flower green 600W gold certified-RM299
ODD-any dvd player -RM60
Case-NZXT Source 210-RM179

Total-RM3498

Guys,I just received my ASUS R9 280x direct cuii top,is it worth to upgrade to R9 280x(with newer chipset), 770 or R9 290(wait for it until end of Nov)?

Good to know, why wanna upgrade? That card is still new

I also very tempted to set up the r9 280x to my rig but surfing around forum and google,found out that new batch of r9 280x with tahiti XTL would be release to replace the r9 280x with tahiti XT2 that's why make me doubt to use the current r9 280x or sell it out and upgrade to other gpu

I found out that lingloong sell msi 770 quite cheap still cant make a decision :S

Actually in terms of performance GTX770 & R9 280X quite similar, should not considered as upgrade unless u want to get R9 290.

I wonder why recommended asrock ? (Sorry that i am outdated)

because their price are more attractive than the other?

And the quality of their board is decent too. Mine and my friend (Asrock Z77 Extreme 6) are still working very well

He mainly games and does programming with the PC. Budget is around 3.1-3.2k RM. He already uses a 27 inch monitor for his programming work.

Your current HDD has OS installed on it before putting it to the rig?
If so, a clean format and installation of OS will solve the problem.
