Hi guys, need suggestion building a gaming rig. excluding keyboard, monitor and speaker, just the rig. budget 5k +/-

should i get the gtx 770 instead

Up to you.Cheapest is Zotac GTX770 AMP! Edition 2GB RM1499.

in your oppinion which one is better?

If you wanted to maximize your gaming experience(high detail setting gaming possible)GTX780 is way to go..and if you wanted to save some(RM700 to be exact)for something else(accessories etc.),you can just grab the GTX770.But if i had that kinda budget(5K for a rig excluding accessories)to be throw off,i'd go directly with GTX780..

Hi to all sifus here, I'm looking to build a gaming rig with 5K budget inclusive of full HD monitor (keyboard, mouse, speaker not needed).
Will Intel i5 proc more than enough instead of i7?

Any recommendation / advice? Thank you very much.

Yup.i5 is more than enough for gaming.

Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4GHz RM699
MSI Z87A-G45 Gaming Edition RM539
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600MHz 4GB x2 RM239

Dell U2312HM IPS Monitor RM539
Liteon 24x DVDRW RM60
Thermaltake Water2.0 Performer RM249

Total - RM4985.00 (GBros & Cyntrixtech)

The above processor is meant for overclockers? I'm not a fan in overclocking, more towards a stable, fast processor will do.
Zotac GTX770 AMP! Edition 2GB RM1499 is this GPU the best in terms of value for money? If I were to get a better one, how much would I be looking for in terms of topping up?

Yes.That's the cheapest pre-OCed GTX770 GPU in the market..comes with 3 free games & 2+3 years warranty..
Isn't that worthy?furthermore,it has almost the same performance of GTX780 reference..

regarding the CPU,you can consider :

- Intel Core i5 4570 3.2GHz RM588
- Asrock H87 Performance RM375

Will suggest Intel instead of AMD, since at the same price point, Intel outperform AMD in gaming mostly.

Intel Xeon E3 1230v2 RM749
MSI B75MA-P45 RM229
Kingston 8gb ram RM179
Seagate 1TB RM189
Sapphire 7870 XT RM779
Enermax NAXN82+ 550W RM215
No DVD-RW
Any Casing u like RM150

Total RM2490

Thanks and yes 770 series and 780 series does have a lot of difference in terms of the cost
If it is the above processor Intel Core i5 4570 3.2GHz, will using the air cooling system is a bit too much or it is recommended for gaming purposes?

thanks alot..I'll take noted

E3 1230 v2 ad RM749?
Thought it will be cheaper since haswell is out

yeah..but seems like haswell intro on market doesnt affect that much on current price list

Ill try to survey 1st

For a non OC-able setup,stock cooler already enuf..But if you're insist on buying one,just go for a cheap one will do..maybe CM Hyper TX3 Evo or Hyper 212 Evo..

recently price up for intel, tat's why u can see Lowyat Pricelist had updated with higher intel processor.

sorry sometime as dealer should come out to correct abit.

Hope this take out from your quote to customer, Hyper 212EVO / EVO TURBO dah lama EOL, replaced by CM Hyper 212X
7870xt last batch already finished sold out. tat mean there is no more 7870xt exist, u can't found this card from any shops.
