Definitely, it's sufficient for your current usage.

Thanks for the recommendation
is it ok if i have this build but switch the CPU to i7 or xeon? Cause I am looking for multi thread to have faster rendering in 3d softwares, or is it redundant? im quite not that knowledgeable in this field.

Yes u can, I would suggest getting the xeon since u have a discrete card so don't need the onboard gpu and it's price cheaper

Asus B85M-E vs B85-G which one is better?

Dear Sifus,

I've been thinkin to upgrade my current PC, therefore i need some suggestion;

(My Current Rig):
Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3GHz
MSI P67A-GD55
2x 2GB Kingston D3 1333
1TB Samsung HD
MSI GTX 460 cyclone
500W Silverstone sst-st50f-es
LG 23" Monitor E2350T (1920x1080)

1) My budget is around 1k only, so i really need some suggestion on which item should i replace/upgrade first within budget,
2) My main purpose of upgrading is for Gaming (BF4, GTA, CRYSIS,....). Im not targeting for SUPER ULTRA graphic but can goes to HIGH setting also good enough,
3) Any brand can do,
4) I also tend to upgrade more in the future from time to time.


Thanks for help~

Consider the Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X... RM1099 je...
You may need to sell off the GPU and the PSU, and get a better PSU, like the Super Flower Golden Green HX 600W for RM299, or the Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 550W for the same price...

An extra 4GB RAM also helps nicely as well...

Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X... RM1099 + Super Flower Golden Green HX 600W for RM299 + extra 4GB RAM +-140 = RM1538

if and only if i can sell both my PCU and GPU for 538..........

btw, thanks for the idea~

You can also drop the RAM first if you wish...
or step down the GPU to a Zotac GTX760 AMP! for RM880...

Hello i'm building a rig and can't decide between Ati 7770 or Nvidia gtx550ti, both about same price. Im looking more to Rendering as im multimedia student....

or any other suggestions? thanks!

okay,after almost 1 month of research,with tons of reading,keep struggling back and forth between amd or intel build or yet xeon.and finally this what i've come up so far.

okay now whats bugging me is which path to go with.
you see, i've already got a dell 20'inch LCD monitor and i just cant decided whether to change it or just spend more on rig.
need some opinion here,is it worth it to change from LCD to LED?or should i just save and get a bigger LED monitor later?

almost forget
[Budget] RM4000

[Purpose] rendering/editing. light gaming. (Adobe After Effects/Autodesk Maya/SWTOR)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] 1TB WD HDD

price above are all from idealtech. i'm gonna grab this from them end of this month.

Planning to overclock? Otherwise you can cut a lot of budget from your build.

rendering will require more processing power on the CPU and also more RAM.. the GPU will help only if you have programs that utilizes the features it provides (e.g Cuda cores from Nvidia), so choose your GPu based on that... other than that, the HD7770 is slightly faster

looks to be alright, you can still drop the SSD if you wanna save up as it's optional but other than that, nothing much to change already...

maybe the chassis?? to a BitFenix Merc Alpha??

yah i've tried path before with xeon, it do save alot
but the things is, i want to try these fancy cpu cooler
i mean whats the point of having a cpu cooler if you don't overclock ma,right?
plus, i've seen a 15yr old kid on youtube can do it easily,why not me.

i have 1 question.
is the asrock h81m hds suffice for gaming.no overclocking
i5 4570
gtx 650ti boost 2gb
4gb ram 1600
1tb wd
fsp 500hnn.hexa out of stock
bitfenix merc alpha

YTeah i use premier Pro which uses CUDA cores i think? But I did some research and found out ati has ATI Stream too ? WIll that be sufficient to fight with CUDA? thx

for gaming, any mobo will do, you'll only be limited in terms of hardware expandability

haha looks like you're more bent on AMD? well if you're talking about the new Adobe Premier Pro CC then you're in luck as it supports GPU acceleration for both AMD and Nvidia so you're free to choose really

http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06...pu-support.html

Oh because the ATI cards give me more value for money based on performance rather than Nvidia... i'd have to get GT640 for the price range of 7750 and i feel like wasted unless the CUda cores from N-vidia will really give me noticeable performance in my work ><" SO only ProCC has it? i dun think mine is premier CC..its likle premier 5.5... =(

wait,but howcome after effects doesnt support ATI cards?

sorry to jump in so sudden.i'm interested to know since i am using adobe premier.
