Just ignore the 4GB variants of the GTX 770. You will simply run out of GPU processing power long before hitting the VRAM wall (limit). Go for higher clocked 2GB models, the Gainward GTX 770 Phantom is a good choice, also being nicely priced.

Here's my suggestion for you.

Intel Core i5 4440 - RM579
Asrock B85M Pro4 – RM279
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM229
Gainward GTX 770 Phantom  – RM1199 (lingloong)
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM189
Plextor M5S 128GB SSD - RM284
Cooler Master K380 Casing - RM149
Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59

Total - RM3266 (prices are from Viewnet)

Hardly the issue unless someone is gunning for high OC clocks, most of us will run our GPUs at stock or mild OC so a little higher temp compared to the Twin-Frozr or Windforce series is not a concern so long as it's better than stock cooler

+1
Even the Phantom GTX770's price from Lingloong beats them all.

I would personally consider cooling solutions from Palit, Gainward and Zotac as 2nd tier compared to the ones from Asus, Gigabyte and MSI. After all, you get what you pay for. As we have discussed before many times, the cooler from e.g Asus is usually superior in all regards compared to the competition.

I use Phantom GTX760 previously. The temperature during Unigine Heaven 4.0 is about 81C. While in real gaming about 86C+- i guess. Can't recall.

Now im using 280X TF, and temperature during Unigine Heaven 4.0 is about 74C. While in real gaming top is 83C.

Well this is no fair comparison as AMD card run hotter than Nvidia. Plus ambient temperature, casing airflow counted. My ambient was 30C+-.

Hope this helps.

I think it would be best to get it all from a single reseller, since it would be easier also when it comes to warranty claim. Also, getting all from one shop, perhaps you could also get them to build it up for you, if you wish. And ask for discounts...if you're getting it all from one place.

Ya, but im still trying to ask another seller whether they still have stock for it. Although Gbros is selling RM870, RM21 higher then lingloong, i think i will just get from him, dun wanna wait for 2 months. HAHA, is abit too long. 

Not more than RM50 discount offerred if getting all from one place =( more discount would be offerred if total price is higher i guess.

Ok, will try to get all the parts from single reseller, either Idealtech or Gbros, if possible. Most of the time I bought the stuffs from C-zone, but too bad they do not have Asrock B85 Killer, NZXT case, Gainward/Zotac graphic cards and FSP PSU. With my tight budget, couldn't get seasonic or silverstone PSU that available at C-zone.

But these specs seems over my budget 

Processor: Xeon E3-1230v3
Motherboard: Asrock B85M Killer
RAM: HyperX/Corsiar  Fury 1600Mhz 8G
PSU: FSP Raider 550W
Graphic: Gainward GTX760 Phantom/Zotac 760AMP
Case: NZXT H230
HDD: reused
Accessories: reused

Can consider Gainward reference GTX 760 also. IMHO, looks better than the standard reference card.

Zotac GTX 760 reference


Gainward GTX 760 reference

If you are on a budget, then maybe reduce the CPU to an i5 (-RM200), use a lower spec'd B85 board (-RM50), buy a Zotac GTX760 standard (-RM100) ... so you can shave off RM350 from your budget.  RAM price between Hyper and Value is only like RM20, so if you want to save there, you can too ...

There will not be much significant negative impact to your gaming performance ... you will have more noise from your rig, due to the standard Zotac GPU cooler, so if you want less noise, then spend more money to get a lower noise cooling solution.

Thanks for the help of considering the parts for me due to my tight budget. But instead of saving more money on getting cheaper and less performance parts, I now try to increase my budget rm200-300 more. I gonna use it for 7 years perhaps and due to my heavy multitasking everyday, tons of tabs in chrome and mozilla, words & excels, Visual studio, Web programming, VMwares, light photoshop, Bluestacks, and sometimes gaming on FSP, strategy and PS2/PS1 emulator. My 4 years laptop couldn't serve me longer with these heavy tasks 

is normal psu in very low power consumption(idle)sometime have hiccup?.my two difference psu have symptom like that.some say it not reach efficiency,its true?

sometime led blink & fan stop spinning for 1 @ 2 second..

well i believe the prob that guy having are the fan stop 1-2 seconds then continue spinning and not in sleeping whatsoever. i think thats what that guy trying to said.

most of the stuff u can get from viewnet, but go other other shops like cycom, czone and others then go back viewnet say their offer. did that, and got quite a bargain. or u can purchase separate parts from cheaper shops in lowyat

Well, SSD is definitely a very nice luxury to have. But at a RM3k budget, I would go with stronger GPU anytime.

Seems like we have quite the similar experience as well. Yes, I have personally experienced the intoxicating effects of a SSD. See, the problem with a SSD is that once you have felt one, you'll never go back to regular HDD. How fitting and true. Snappier is coincidentally the same word that I liked to use to describe the overall experience of a SSD as well. Ever since I intoxicated myself with a SSD now nearly 3 years back, everything that I run on feels just so fasta, from the booting of OS, opening programs, opening files, surfing the net and the list goes on and on. Working on a normal HDD is a dread, as unfortunately my working laptop offers me that fate. Heck, even my now HTPC runs on an old Kingston SSD.

And yes, despite the much touted Battlefield 4 being an AMD optimized game and all, I actually completed the entire single player campaign on an Nvidia card; GTX 760 @1080p, all at full settings with 4xMSAA (which usually kills framerates). But there are games that actually stresses out that very same GPU on some other more graphically demanding games as well, namely Crysis 3. And yeah, no one is going to stop to admire the anti-aliasing at its full glory when all the alien cephs (or human players) are trying to obliterate you, but I personally find a very profound difference going from FXAA (free anti-aliasing) to some of the more refined ones, e.g MSAA / SMAA. I don't play multiplayer games, on which you will never ever have the luxury of stopping by and admire how beautiful the graphic engine actually renders that particular scene. I love to admire my games though. And the 760 unfortunately struggles when going to MSAA / SMAA settings for some of these games.

That is why I personally recommend going for a GPU first (if gaming takes precedence), and if there's really additional budget to be added later on, then go for a SSD, for the many reasons cited above. I have an underutilized GTX 780 plugged in, and most of the things I do these days is just online, reading and that's all. Hardly game much myself these days too. Now that I've mentioned it, it's time for me to frag a thing or two.

Most here doesnt even recommend oc cpu.
Whenever i7 was mentioned, xeon will be mentioned as well.

Love to see more i7 in this thread. 

2.3k. Intel have slight performance when it comes to gaming. Here's my suggestion.

Proc - i5-4440 RM 579
Mobo - Asrock B85 Killer RM 299
GPU - Gainward GTX 760 ref. RM 799 [ IdealTech ]
HDD - 1TB WD Blue RM 189
PSU - Antec VP-550w RM 199
RAM - 8GB Value RAM RM 229
Casing - CM K380 RM 149

All for RM 2,443. Better than the R9 270. And the sleek design of the Gainward Prices from Viewnet cept GPU from per said. A lil' bit out of budget but it's a solid build.
