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

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?

So in terms of physical dimension they all are about the same?

Hi, may I know if I were to use this particular case Fractal Design NODE 304, what are the motherboard option that I have?

So if I were to go with these spec below, with a budget of 4k with the Fractal Design Node 304, which MOBO fits the bill?

Intel Core i5 4440 - RM569
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM229
Plextor M5S 128GB SSD - RM319
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB - RM189
Gigabyte R9 290 - RM1449
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
Viewsonic IPS / DELL IPS

Thank you.

So if I get the case from either one of them and let IdealTech to install/assemble, do u think they allow or willing to do that?

This post has been edited by jimmy.soo: Dec 30 2013, 06:45 PM

Too bad they can't assembly if its a non-full rig, guess I will just have to assemble it myself then.

Hi guys, want to ask if this 550 Watts PSU ST55F-G from silverstone is more than enough for the specs below?

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670

GPU: ASUS Nvidia GTX 770 2GB
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB Internal Hard Drive

Thanks.

What if I change the GPU to Sapphire Tri-X R290 4GB GDDR5. How many Watts of PSU is recommended? And also can the GPU + PSU fits into Fractal Node 304 case?
Recap on the specs below:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670

Memory: GSkill AEGIS 8GB DDR3 1600mhz
GPU: Sapphire Tri-X R290 4GB GDDR5

Haswell processor with K cannot overclock at all?

haha sorry sorry, was referring to non-K CPU.
hmm so if I use a Z87 board and overclock the non-K CPU, what will happen?

Hahaha, alright. Thanks for the info.
