Thanks bro replied.

a bit changes here. If GPU shift to ASUS GeForce® GTX 650 Ti. And mother prefer standard HDMI port? Which one can i take.
at the same time OC / Cfx does it important? I'm not gamer but hopefully can last for 2-3 years.

Last question, above price all get from same shop at lowyat? do them provide assemble? i'm first time build rig... don't know what to do...

thanks

I didn't see any PSU there. How many W is recommended? Also, any improvement I can do if i were to increase the budget to around RM2k? Also, does the onboard Graphic able to play games like Dota 2 in at least medium settings?

I was recommended to get the
MSI 970A-G43 ATX Mainboard @RM279 +
Silverstone AR02 CPU Cooler @RM109 +
AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz 14mb cache (6-Cores) @RM429
when I requested for the
Intel Core i5 4430 3.0Ghz 6mb cache (4-Cores) @RM559 +
Asrock B85M Pro4 @RM279.

What do you guys think about the MSI AMD combo?
Is the Asrock Intel combo better?
Is the MSI mobo + AMD chip compatible with a GTX760 2GB GDDR5?
Is there a reason why you guys normally recommend intel chips over amd? AMD seems to be cheaper

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have a few questions:
1. What is the advantages of Intel Xeon E3-1225v3 over most of the Haswell i7 for instances in my case?

2. If I skip the dedicated gpu and use Intel's own integrated gpu, how much performance degradation should I expect? At what places would the performance suffer in my scenario?

Thanks for the help!

thanks for quick reply..can i change from xeon to i5 @ i7..which is better btw since i dunno much about xeon pros..

Well the intel xeon is basically a core i7 without the onboard gpu(intel hd graphics) and it has a lower tdp(lower power consumption). U are basically getting the benefit of hyperthreading without spending more towards the i7.

Yes u can change it if u want to , its basically up to ur choice

Never heard of this Qnix brand before, well maybe I'll give it a try Anyone using this?

I think CuteDay has one before... Though he bought it from Ebay...
The problem is his monitor has some sort of blacklight bleeding...

hi there, i'm going to buy r9 290 soon. i was opting for seasonic 620W but the shop owner recon 750W. do i really nid such high psu or 620W is already sufficient?

Yes, 620w should be sufficient, i'm using 600w with R9 290 as well

may i know whats ur cpu and mobo?

My signature there stated, i7 4770k and Asrock Extreme4

Gigabyte r9 290 also reference cooler like asus and sapphire right? got heat issue?

Yes, exactly same as other reference card, about heat issue it is depends on how you adjust the fan speed, pls check back this thread for more info
