Hey guys,
What should I get for my case below?
[Budget]
~5.5k
[Purpose]
Engineering analysis work and gaming
[Hardwares that will be re-use]
I do not need storage HDD, monitor, keyboard, mouse and speaker. The rest will be from scratch
[Monitor resolution]
1920 x 1080
[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Work software - CAD (UG NX 6.0), ANSYS workbench (FEA)
Gaming - Dota2, D3, Dark Souls 2, TitanFall, SC2, Dragon age
[Personal preferences]
SSD for operating systems, 240 GB or more.
Simple overclocking solution - I am not that familiar with overclock so if things can go simpler it would be better.
Considering one analysis run could take days, air cooling solutions to prevent overheating will be a good to have options
[Location]
Johor Bukit Indah - but i can get parts from amazon or travel to buy parts so location should be the least concern.
What i have in mind is >>
Intel Core i7 4770K
ASUS SABERTOOTH
G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3-1600MHz 16GB (2X8GB)
MSI GTX 780 Gaming
Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 256GB
Seasonic X-760 760W PSU
(Not sure about casing & fan)
I myself am not very tech savvy and i come up with above specs by reading here and there in the web, so feel free to provide fresh opinion instead of modifying from my current choices.
Arigatoooo~

Here are my suggestions.

Intel Core i7 4770K - RM1079
Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 - RM539
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz x 2 - RM458
Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce OC - RM1649
Cooler Master V700 PSU - RM499
Intel 530 Series 240GB SSD – RM609
Cooler Master Storm Scout II Casing – RM309
Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59
Total – RM5201
(prices are from Viewnet)Optional:Cooler Master Nepton 140XL - RM349 (AIO)
Scythe Ashura - RM179 (air cooler)
The casing comes with 2 x 120mm (front) and 1 x 120mm (rear) fans by default already, you're free to add on 2 more on the top / 1 at bottom for optimal casing air flow.
Some good options:
Arctic Cooling F12, Bitfenix Spectre < ~RM30 each
Hi,
I have some question on your suggestions -
1) Why value ram? I thought performance RAM helps in overclocking and analysis program..
2) Why AMD GPU? I was told Nvidia GTX series works on rendering better than AMD..
3) also, can the proposed casing and MOBO house scythe Ashura?
Thanks for helping..
