Impressive cooler. Go read their review from Techpowerup.

The max height is 161mm. Go Google yourself on 750D's max allowable CPU cooler height.

R9 280X is not that bad, it still in the high end gpu league.
780 and 290 is higher but you got the point.

FF14 for FIFA14?

If so I believe even GTX760 is overkill. Can get a cheaper GPU and add in a SSD in the budget.

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

This is something that should be given a little more consideration, based on my experience.

If you are to decide where to spend RM300 - on an SSD or higher level GPU (GTX770), then it makes sense to ask what is the experience that you get in return for that RM300.

If you game at 1920x1080, there is very little difference in gaming experience between a GTX760 and GTX770 for most of today's games. Yes, you can possibly run at a higher AA level, or even go to Ultra Quality levels from Very High Quality levels, but in all fairness, there will not be much difference that you will experience when you play that game. Even less difference if you are not playing the high end demanding games, like Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3 ... like if you are playing DOTA2, FF14, etc. Of course, if you game at 2560x1440, or even plan to game at that level, then you will need buy the GTX770.

If you install an SSD, the experience that you get is very different compared to a HDD. Windows boots up very quickly, you can switch between programs so much faster, load times for programs are almost instant, etc. The whole computer just feels more "snappy" ... For example, now I am not playing any games on my computer, but surfing the Internet, typing this message to the forum members, checking some news, reading up a couple of tech reviews, checking up on the new movies/TV shows, running WinRAR, doing some financial work ... etc. The whole experience of doing these things is much better and faster on an SSD compared to HDD.

I actually do not play that much games, maybe a few hours a week, so that also is a factor. It depends on what you use your computer with, but it would always be good if you were to ask yourself what is the return on the RM300 that you will spend, and that will help you to decide if you should spend on that higher end GPU, or buy the SSD.

Seems like we have quite the similar experience as well. smile.gif Yes, I have personally experienced the intoxicating effects of a SSD. tongue.gif 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. laugh.gif Heck, even my now HTPC runs on an old Kingston SSD. tongue.gif

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. wub.gif 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. brows.gif
