yup not included.

Hi sifus,

I'm building a rig for gaming and also for casual use.
Was thinking if the rig below is ok..

[Budget] 3k

[Purpose] gaming and casual use

[Hardwares that will be re-use] HDD

[Monitor resolution] suitable for 1080p movies.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota2, LOL, CS, any new games

[Personal preferences] gtx 760. SSD

below is the rig i'm planning to get, dont know if sifus think this build is alright.

Proc : Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 (By the way, what difference I will get compared to V2?)
MOBO : ASRock B85M Pro 4
RAM : Corsair PC1600 8GB
HDD : Will re-use from old PC
SSD : Crucial M500 Series 120GB (If this is not ok, maybe can recommend a better 1?)
PSU : Silverstone Strider 500W (Not sure if this PSU can handle this build)
GPU : GTX 760 OC 2GB
Casing : CM K380
DVD: Liteon 24x

Sifus, if you think this build is not ok, do recommend which part I can change. And i realize that alot of build got no cooler. Should I top up some money to put a cooler in?
Above parts prices I am using viewnet, if possible I want to get all from one place

Please advice

Thanks

v2 is a LGA1155 based CPUs (Ivy Bridge) and v3 is a Haswell based CPU (uses the LGA1150 socket)

Your build looks great. If you want some quietness in your rig, then consider investing in a cheap air cooler like the CM TX3 EVO for less noise...

Oh thanks. Does a cooler fan comes together with the mobo or the processor?

The CPU.

Hey there, been out of the building scene for a while, wanna help my friend get his rig:

[Budget]4k

[Purpose]Gaming, video editing

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Mouse and headset

[Monitor resolution]1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, Battlefield, next gen games, Adobe software (AE, PS)

[Personal preferences] Mouse and speaker not needed, just the PC itself, monitor and keyboard.

[Location] Cheras KL

Would also wanna know if its the best time to get a rig now, are there any new tech coming out soon? Like 5th gen proc or HD9xxx? I really haven't been in the scene, I only know about haswell and HD8xxx series some time back heh.

Thanks!

should I grab GTX760 or R9 270X (BF4)?

Definitely GTX 760 for pure performance, right out of the box. Should go for Zotac's, since can get AC4 Black Flag and Splinter Cell Blacklist I think. Maybe got Batman Arkham Origins also.

making for friend and its been a while since i last lurk here.

need i5, and if possible a gc too.

Woops!

For your reference. Getting all the stuffs from Newegg US might probably save you a little $$ compared to what is quoted below. An exception for the graphic card though, it is almost similar to RM, no thanks to the mining craze in US.

Intel Core i5-4570 - RM619
Asrock B85M Pro4 – RM279
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM229
Plextor M5S 128GB SSD - RM319
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB - RM189
Sapphire R9 290 - RM1499
Cooler Master K380 Casing - RM149
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
Dell U2312HM 23" LED Monitor - RM629

Total – RM4211 (prices are from Viewnet)

Intel Core i5 4440 - RM564
Asrock B85M Pro4 – RM279
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM229
Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X OC – RM1199
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM189
Cooler Master K380 Casing - RM149
Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59

Total - RM2967 (prices are from Viewnet)

Personally I'd hold down the R9 290/X... The price is a little high for now...

You mean to include in the R9 290 in the quote above? I only include in R9 280X since he has a budget cap of RM3k.
