Dear Gurus of Hardwares,

I have been tasked to build a upgradable desktop tower (only tower without displays and accessories), for sole purpose of computing for my R&D job.
I know I can go bonkers with double graphic cards and extreme editions of everything, but the budget is limited for phase one.

So Phase 1:
- compatible latest motherboard
- i7 with humble price (no need max Ghz/cores)
- 16GB ram with good speed
- 128 GB SSD with good speed
- And the GPU headache
-----* must be nvidia GPU (i need CUDA)
-----* the best that can fit the price, must be expandable to dual configuration in future.
-----* not for gaming, but i need the best card possible anyway for GPU coding
-----* need to support 2560x1600 display
- casing/power etc - go for minimum possible, as I will not overclock.

I tried looking at lowyat price list etc, and my head is spinning.
Please help all the enlighten ones. What mb+cpu+gpu will you go for at USD 888 / MYR 3000.
You can give me pointers and I will go research more based on your advise.

Thanks.

RM3k for workstation parts eh? this gonna be tough

Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3 RM799
Asrock Z87M Pro 4 RM349
Value RAM (prolly will be 1333MHz or 1600MHz variants) 2x8GB RM478
Plextor M5S 128GB RM289
Leadtek Quadro K600 RM849
FSP Raider 650W RM269
CM Elite 361 RM109
Total: RM3142

NOTE: i would suggest getting the entire PC budget on the spot then only purchase instead of going phase by phase. workstation parts are not cheap

EDIT: you can reduce the Power Supply Unit to a FSP Raider 550W RM239 as i dont think dual K600 will eat much power

I prefer GTX760 2GB instead of K600..

thats what i thought too, since GTX760 have more CUDA cores at the same price

however, does it perform better in rendering?

Hi . Can anyone quote me for the rig ?
Using for workstation,surfing net and watch movie.
Prefer 27" monitor.
Price range 2500-3000 .

The GTX760 has twice the ROPs (32 vs 16)..



And for the overall aspects,GTX760 beats K600 entirely.

even if taking the driver's efficiency into account?

Quadro's drivers more workstation oriented afaik

It'll be hard.The 27" monitor itself will costs you half of your budget already.

Anyway,what kinda work?

What type of work?AutoCAD?Here's a basic setup.
CPU:Intel Pentium G3220 3Ghz RM179
Mobo:Asrock B85M-Pro4 RM279
RAM:Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM239
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM189
Casing:CM K380 RM149
PSU:FSP Hexa 500W RM149
SSD:Samsung 840 Evo 250GB RM589
Monitor:Viewsonic VX2770MH 27' RM949
Total:RM2722
Prices are from Viewnet.

Yup,usually Quadro's has much more stable drivers.I'm not really sure if wanna go for cheap K600..seems not worth it.ask goldfries

What's the cheapest set up I can get to do basic work, some videos, and simple games (low end shit).

Already own monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Thanks~!

same here, i also had reservations about recommending Quadro K600

seems just not worth its price for its performance

So i have with me a cm690II casing, evga 780 superclock and a cm gx620w 80+ bronze.

Now i need the remaining parts. unfortunately, impulsive purchase has led to budget constrains. how to build the rest of the computer without bottlenecking the gpu or blowing up the psu? trying to keep budget to about around the 1.5k budget +/- couple hundred. can exceed, but rather not! will be used for gaming!

I would like to advise you to ditch the PSU, if possible. The 1st gen GX series is not good. Can consider my suggestion as below.

Intel Core i5 4440 – RM579
Asrock B85M Pro4 – RM279
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz – RM239
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM189
Evga GTX 780 Superclock
CM 690II casing
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59

Total - RM1644 (prices are from Viewnet)

Forgot to mention it has to include a monitor. FML confined to running a probable i3/g-series.

What do I have to change the rest of the spec apart from the PSU (what wattage should I get) if I were to get this;

CPU : Intel Core i7- 4770K 3.5Ghz
GPU : GTX780 3GB - which non reference brand better?
RAM : Corsair 8GB (4GB DDR3 1600Mhz x 2) - slots for optional upgrades?


Not planning to buy this now but just to get the rough idea of the hardware combination so I can plan my budget..
Waiting for Surface Pro 2 -
