is it enough to multitask bro? if upgrade to i5? how much the budget will be?
*
You get what you pay for. Maybe can consider i3 if your budget allows. You open tons of browser tabs, then adding another 4GB RAM may be helpful.

Edited, thanks for the recommendation. The GPU is a non-reference cooler design with 4GB of memory right?

It is a reference cooler design. For non-reference you might have to wait till early next year.

Hmmm gigabyte msia website already listed the non-reference cooler design http://www.gigabyte.my/products/product-pa...spx?pid=4884#ov but no availability yet?
Thinking to get a non-reference design cooler due to the fan noise and higher temperature the reference card has. What other option do I have?
*
You can swap with a 3rd party GPU cooler.

Hey guys, I realized that ASrock B85M Pro4 is almost always recommended here. What makes it good to be used especially in a gaming rig? Issit because it the best value for money MOBO around?

Thanks
*
I usually choose it because it has usually the sufficient DIMM, USB 3.0, SATA 3 ports that most average user will ever need. And it is also rightly priced, and is especially suited for non-OC builds.

Hmm I see, does that means MOBO like ASrock z87 Killer is kinda overkill for say a RM 3.5k rig?

Yes, it is pretty much overkill if you don't OC. The extra budget can be better spent elsewhere, e.g GPU or SSD. smile.gif

Can cut down the mobo to Asrock B85M Pro4 (RM279) and RAM to 8GB Value RAM (RM229). Can consider changing the monitor to Dell U2312HM 23"(RM629). Prefer matte screen to the glossy one of the S2340L. tongue.gif

Sapphire R9 270 2GB DDR5 vs GTX 650TI Boost

which one better?
*
R9 270 is the faster card (up to 15% faster at average), since it features the same GPU used in HD 7870 and R9 270X, which offers a different level of performance.

no im not tongue.gif thanks for suggestion! actually if go lower than 2500 is always better. planning to use dell s2340L as monitor. just surveyed juz now brows.gif that one already RM500++ ... need to keep this rig under 3k  icon_rolleyes.gif

GPU no need so high lar.. i want to use a GTX 650Ti only..
i think im dead on i5 4670 dy icon_rolleyes.gif theres this urge to always want to max it out haha. if save OS in SSD, really big difference in boot up speed? or do people usually install games on SSD?
*
You might want to personally take a look on the S2340L first as IINM it has a glossy-like screen. tongue.gif Might not work for some. I prefer matte surface, which U2312HM offers. Alternatively, can also consider Viewsonic VX2370S 23" IPS LED (RM499). For GPU, try to go for at least 650 Ti Boost / 7850 / R9 270 above.

SSD? It's basically an optional piece of "poison". brows.gif Try it, and most likely you will never ever want to go back to regular HDD again. Do bear in mind that SSD doesn't improve frame rates (FPS), it certainly does improve your loading times.

Suggest to recheck the casings that u proposed, sapphire R9 290Tri-X is a long card, your casing might just slightly able to fit the graphic card
*
Good catch this one. The R9 290 Tri-X is certainly a very long card indeed, ~12.5" right? According to CM K380's official specification, it should be able to support the R9 290 Tri-X, albeit a rather tight fit. tongue.gif
