•Hi all master Sifu's here . This will be my first gaming RiG in a L0o0o0o0ong time (movin from ps3,xbox ) and would appreciate it very much if i can get some constructive feedback/criticism on the below quotation . It's mainly for GAMING & playing HD movies on a 46" Tv which i already have , so it's my first time using a "TV-Screen" as opposed to a PC screen. MY budget was around RM4k , perhaps 5k if justifiable . I'm also really confused if i should go I5-3570k or I7 3770k . Below is a quote i got from a certain company . Appreciate ALL HELP thanks..

QUOTE(RowanPaladin @ May 27 2013, 05:04 PM) 1. If you do not plan on Overclocking, k versions will serve you no purpose. Thank you for your quick reply! I do plan to overclock it(seems pretty easy based on youtube , just the time needed to stress test and all) . How much would Sapphire HD7970 Dual-X ? Is that able to OC as well? I plan to OC both my graphics card & processor . Just seeing a lot of ppl saying i7-3770k is future proof , while some say i5-3570k is good enough. (Thanks for your feedback on ram issue and cost cutting there too 2. I'd go with Kingston Value 8Gb = RM18X for RAM 3. Unless you really like Nvidia, I'd go with a Sapphire HD7970 Dual-X. Which would be able to keep up with even a GTX680. Overall, good build.  ) |

QUOTE(harryfoo @ May 29 2013, 04:47 PM) Are you going to OC the CPU? Hyper 212X doesn't provide enough cooling power if you OC, unless it is minimal OC. Yes i do plan to OC it . I know nuts about this " cooler's" is it a fan or something? |

QUOTE(RowanPaladin @ May 27 2013, 05:40 PM) 7970 Dual-X is RM1299. If you have some spare, I'd personally recommend the MSI 7970 Lighting Boost Edition which is around RM14XX. Thanks man , so i asked them for " MSI 7970 Lighting Boost Edition" he said dont have anymore . RAM as well they dont' have it so using theirs.The i5 3570k(Around RM700) can be overclocked safely to 4.4-4.5Ghz with no problems. I wouldn't worry about future-proofing too much, especially not when you can save a ton without it(3770k is close to 1k iirc) as technology moves too fast these days to tell what's going to happen 2months later. I'd recommend getting the i5 and a better GPU.

QUOTE(harryfoo @ May 29 2013, 05:21 PM) Its a heat sink with fan. I suggest you use stock cooler first, then you slowly explore how to OC and stuff, then only you invest on better cooler. So the CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler is a stock cooler? |

QUOTE(harryfoo @ May 29 2013, 05:34 PM) The CPU already comes with a cooler. And you bought another cooler (Hyper 212X), so you have 2 cooler. Ah i see now...coz that hyper 212x cooler was quoted package under RM4k buy them . Thanks i'll think about it..I suggest you use the cooler that comes with the CPU first, don't buy the Hyper 212X. After you explored more on OC, then you can invest more money on better cooler. |

QUOTE(RowanPaladin @ Jun 3 2013, 12:25 PM) The i5 3570 should be compared to the 4670, as both of them has unlocked versions and are the fastest in their respective line-ups. If you're thinking of upgrading from the Ivy, I'd hold off till Intel comes out with the tick version of the Haswell. If you'd using something slower/older, why not? Please clarify what you meant by "tick version of the Haswell" . And when ? next year? |

QUOTE(RowanPaladin @ Jun 5 2013, 12:08 PM) Intel Core i5 4670K RM729 i5 4670k is HASWELL chip you are referring to?Asus Z87M-Plus RM690 Plextor M5S 128GB - 299 WD Blue 1TB RM187 Leadtek GTX770 3GB RM1499 Corsair TX750M / Rosewill Tachyon 750w - RM400~ Silverstone TJ08E - RM350 Around 4k. The 4670k CPU is only for overclocking, so if you don't plan on doing that, you can swap it for the cheaper 4670. If you do plan on OCing, water cooling might be plausible... Corsair H80i maybe? |

QUOTE(Cable707 @ Jun 14 2013, 12:18 AM) Xeon E3's performance is quite similar to i7 3770..only lack of IGP.. So if your gonna be gaming and getting a dedicated GPU , is Xeon E3 better then current Haswell that has IGP ?QUOTE(KSinY @ Jun 12 2013, 04:15 PM) why dont get gtx770? Zotac gtx770 4GB is about 1549 with better and improve features. What would be the main difference of the 2GB version vs the 4GB version? |
