The card you quoted was a reference one right?

Thanks! I'm more of a Nvidia person, so i should got for the 760? any chances to slot in a 770?

In the 3.5K and 3.6K rig just go for the GTX760 Cards i recommended.
About the 3.8K and 3.9K rig,The perfomance difference of GTX770 vs R9 280X is 2% percent,with GTX770 leading,but in some games,R9 280x beats GTX770 and vice versa.But in the 4K rig,get the R9 290 Tri-X instead.. tongue.gif

Change CPU to Intel Xeon E1230 V3 3.3Ghz RM779.
Are you gonna only play Dota 2 with your new rig? tongue.gif
And the 290X Tri-X doesn't cost RM1699,cause that price is 290 Tri-X's. tongue.gif
You can just get Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 RM1299,and get an SSD.. brows.gif
Samsung 840 Evo 120GB RM329 icon_idea.gif

Why Intel Xeon E1230 V3 3.3Ghz if I may ask? Almost the same performance?
Mostly Dota 2.  sweat.gif
Is the Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 more value for money than the 290 Tri-X's? Since its just around Rm200 difference.

My budget from 3.5-4k.

Intel Xeon E1230 V3 is a i7 in disguise..only .1Ghz slower and no iGPU.. brows.gif

So sorry the GPU is indeed supposed to be a Powercolor R9 290 PCS+ RM1549 from feiton.
Can revise the suggestion from there again? Terribly sorry

Also, I suppose a 128GB SSD for OS is enough. 500GB seems like overkill lol.
Is there a need for a K version Intel CPU if I don't intend to OC?
Yeah, 4k but can make adjustments for up to 4.5k smile.gif

To answer your questions
1.An SSD not only helps in booting the PC faster,but it also open and load apps faster.. brows.gif
2.There's no need for a K CPU if u're not OCing,cause it'll be a waste of money when u can just allocate the money for a better GPU.Even if u want to OC,u need a good CPU Cooler,Z87 Mobo and a K CPU for a Intel Setup. smile.gif

Maybe to reserve the throne for its lightning series? I know it did a Lightning run for both the GTX780 and GTX770. So maybe they will release 290 Lightning/290X Lightning variants?

Which apon reflection sounds.  drool.gif  drool.gif

Edit: if you leave it at stock then yes its almost like a reference 290, but I guess OCing is The key to getting the max out of it seeing you can do so with a better cooler

wanna ask about msi r290 gaming - rm1499..I read few post back said it is a downgraded version of the reference R9 290.

i dont want a downgraded version(if its true) since ill be using this rig for quite long time..so do recommend me another GPU..

there's 2 build ive been thinking..nothing change much between those 2 just the Aesthetic is different..

and ive been thinking whether to make an OC rig or NON OC rig...

reason i wanna OC
-wanna try watercooling (around july~sept)
-thinking can increace years of usage

reason not to OC
-save more budget and use extra money to other part

do give some opinion

btw the list u gave got color theme or just ikut suka  tongue.gif (wanna have my pc look nice) 

is it better if i take VX2370SMH-LED IPS = RM535 and exclude speaker to save few buck since when gaming ill be using my denon iem...hmm

The Viewsonic VX2370SMH is a good choice too,but it has glossy display.. tongue.gif
The Dell U2312HM has matte display.. brows.gif
Ikut suka... biggrin.gif You want it to look nice huh?Imo,it's already nice..even the color of the NZXT Switch 810 Gunmetal makes the inside looks kinda "jungle theme" ( laugh.gif )..which is already fine.Black,Green,Dark Green and White-ish looks fine inside of it. tongue.gif
