a newbie bro in need here
im in the 1.5 to 2.5k price range
i dunno if can cough up anymore
im fairly poor as is

purpose: 3d rendering, gaming

softwares to run : autocad/lumion/coreldraw

preferable games to run on at least acceptalbe mid preferable high setting : creed series, dishonored titanfall

am not looking for sothing very high end,
at least a rig that is acceptable that i could upgrade later on.
i have nothing to start with

guys an r9 270 can overclock and perform like the r9 270x? which would have nearly same performance to gtx 760?

You can get this.Im sure it'll be able to play medium-high settings with the games u are gonna play.

CPU:Intel Core i5 4440 3.1Ghz RM579
Mobo:Asus B85M-G RM279
RAM:Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM239
GPU:Zotac GTX760 2GB GDDR5 RM799
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM189
PSU:Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM299
Casing:CM K380 RM149
Total:RM2533
Optional:Liteon 24x DVDRW RM59
GPU from Cycom,the rest are from Viewnet.
I think that should do it!

Don't compare OC results with stock. If i were to OC the 270X and GTX760 it will leave the 270 for dead wouldn't it?

just saying if i were aiming for gtx 760/r9 270x type performance. could just get a r9 270 and OC it. no?

If your budget is limited to a 270, then yes. Get a 270 and Oc it.

Hai, I would ask any sifus regarding the PSU unit.

between seasonic and coolermaster which one is better and more trusted?

Seasonic's better.CoolerMaster V series is the only one from CoolerMaster that is one of the PSUs that is fine and is based of the Seasonic KM3 Platform (Is that how you call it? ) while Seasonic have good PSUs ranging from the S12II to the P series.

owh, okay2. thank you for the info.

Just now went to lowyat to buy my rig, but then one shop recommend me coolermaster and another one recommend me seasonic. I also got confuse.

Which model did they recommend?

hmm. not sure, as they only say seasonic and coolermaster. btw, ayam sad because no shop sell nzxt casing there.

Yeah no shops sell any NZXT Casing at Lowyat..which sucks.
I can see you asking for NZXT Phantom 530 and NZXT Kraken X40 on WTS threads..

ahahahaha. keep it secret la bro.

owh, and one more thing, between asus, msi, gigabyte & etc. which have the best non reference GTX 780ti?

Leadtek GTX780Ti Tri-Fans OC 3GB GDDR5 RM2399 from IdealTech..
Or if you can't go to IdealTech since their shop location is in Pandan Indah.. and u wanna get all of the parts except the casing from Lowyat..then Zotac GTX780Ti Tri-Fans AMP! 3GB GDDR5 RM2459 from Cycom.

was finding leadtek and zotac also just now, but not found. hmm. maybe will go get zotac tomorrow, I also prefer zotac and leadtek because asus and msi bit pricey just now. 2600 for asus and 2500 for msi.

MSI GTX780Ti Twin Frozr RM2699 and Asus GTX780Ti OC RM2799..

will go check cycom tomorrow, they better have stock for zotac or I will rage tomorrow. ahahahaha.

hey guys, after doing some research myself I've come up with this combination for my new rig. But I need some help trying to keep the budget close to RM2.5k-3k if it is possible that is.

BTW, I've already bought an i7 4770k, so the budget does not need to include processor. And the budget allocated is solely for the rig, monitor, speakers etc not need to be included.

PLUS, rig's main use would be for architectural design work such as Autocad, photoshop, Sketchup, Lumion, 3dsmax, and gaming.

So can you guys gimme some suggestion on my current combo, please?


I7 4770k
Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer@RM489
GPU: 770GTX or R9 280X @rm1199
Ram: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz @RM239
Harddisk: WD Caviar Blue 1TB @RM189 + Plextor M5S 128GB @RM299
Cooler: (hope to be able to fit in a cheap water cooling unit for the proc) or else, just a CM Hyper 212x will be enough i guess.
PSU: (not sure)
Casing: (not sure)

current value: RM2415
