QUOTE(Human10 @ Dec 28 2013, 05:52 PM) Because Xeon is like a i7 lite (minus some non-vital features - iGPU, overclocking and so on) at a cheaper price. Can still opt for an i5 right if want to be slightly cheaper |

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Dec 28 2013, 07:34 PM) You can still opt for an i5.But Xeon and i7 is faster in editing,rendering of photosh and videos cause it has 8 threads,4 more than i5. Thanks. Actually my photoshop is only very basic editing. So I think the i5 should be sufficient.If u wanna get a better GPU,you can get i5 4440 3.1 ghz RM569 from viewnet and get the Leadtek GTX760 2GB ddr5 RM849 instead.  |

Try to squeeze in the monitor.....or if the monitor can be slightly smaller?If u wanna get a better GPU,you can get i5 4440 3.1 ghz RM569 from viewnet and get the Leadtek GTX760 2GB ddr5 RM849 instead.

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Dec 29 2013, 12:02 AM) Get Dell S2240L 21.5' RM489. So a recap, either the Xeon with 650 or the i5 with the 760?It's not that good,its decent though,but cant play most games on high settings i guess. Spend abit more and get Leadtek GTX760 2GB ddr5 RM849. I guess the dell is the best monitor available right? |

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Dec 29 2013, 11:02 PM)  The CPU is a bit better,i think it's better than my recommendation.But you can get a cheaper PSU like FSP Hexa 500W from Viewnet,cheaper RAM Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM229 from Viewnet and get Asrock B85M Pro4 RM279 also from Viewnet.Haven't seen a Value RAM that has 8GB with 250+ price.  |

QUOTE(toomanyrulez @ Jan 1 2014, 11:44 AM) so RAM price increases huh? Hmm, don't know that.. Planning to get x1 8GB RAM.. That's what Idealtech told me the other day too....saying that RAM pricing are increased. Viewnet might have stock up the RAMs at a lower price point, hence they could still offer like 229 for Corsair.Anyways, again thanks to all for recommending a good rig for me....will be collecting it tomorrow.... |
