Reason??

Gigabyte GTX660Ti OC can already get you GTX760..

Get the Gainward GTX660 2GB GDDR5 RM589 (from Lingloong).Psst,you can ask him if he has stock for the Gainward GTX660 Golden Sample RM595..

What is your rig specs?

I always think that the GTX660 is already EOLed..

Gotta "tighten up" my brain..

Hi all, would like to ask is the following optimized ? budget around 3k-3.5k

cpu = Intel Core I7 4770
Mobo = asrock z87 extreme 3
Ram = Gskill ripjaws 2x4gb 2133mhz
Gpu = Sapphire r9 270x dual 2gb DDR5
Psu = Sapphire s12 II 620w
Hdd = WD 1TB cavier blue
Chasis = Cm storm enforcer / nzxt phantom 410 white
Odd = Liteon 24x Sata
Cooler = CM tx3 evo / Sapphire VaporX

Im using the rig for gaming (high setting) and also autocad works (civil3D). Some of the spec i put 2 type is so that there's option to choose to maximize my budget. Im not into OC [ noob in this=) ]

*edit (if possible the price to get from 1 place, cause im at sarawak, thinking to post the whole rig here )

I thought you would say GTX660 is not good...heheh

i4-4770k, RAM 8GB/16GB DDR3, 1TB 7200rpm HDD(not really into SSD lol), planning to use these items to build my rig
No motherboard

Budget and usage for the rig?

Game and performance, less than 4k

I am currently using a GTX680 and a PC that is able to support this card (I5 processor, 8GB ram, SSD) however i am using a budget Phillip 24inch LCD and i am planning to change to a 23" or 24" IPS monitor to compliment my graphic card.

My priority is for gaming. Which IPS monitor in the market suits me? is AOC good? Dell ultra sharp series look awesome but is it good for gaming? Need advice many thanks in advance!

PS: would prefer to have HDMI port, what if in the future i got a PS4? hehehe

after sifu's comment and my findings i concluded below spec my rig. i want to buy at pc fair this saturday. is this specs ok?

cpu = Intel Core I5 4440
Mobo = asrock B85M Pro4
Ram = Corsair 8gb pc 1600ram
Gpu = Asus GTX 760 dc2 oc or Gainward GTX760 phantom ( i prefer asus bcz its a trustable brand)
Psu = FSP Hexa 500w
Hdd = WD 1TB cavier blue
SSD = Plextor MS 120gb
Chasis = Thermaltek MS-I Black..(luk nice)
Odd = any brand
Monitor = Asus 23' or Philips 23'

FYI, the price of the ASUS 760 would give you a R9 280X...
The Gainward Phantom is a very nice card... runs incredibly silent even at 100% fan speeds... Comes with removable fan for cleaning up though...

No... if you are not overclocking just stick to a Xeon and H87/B85 board...
and up the GPU to a GTX760/770/R9 280X...

No point going with a CPU cooler as well, as well as high speed RAMs as Haswell CPUs do not take advantage of them. No SSDs?

Here's one :

Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 3.3GHz RM799
Asrock B85 Killer mainboard RM299
G.Skill Aegis 1600MHz 8GB x2 RM478
Gainward GTX660 Dual Fan 2GB RM639
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU RM299
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD RM189
CM Storm Scout II case RM279
Liteon 24x DVDRW RM59

Total - RM3529.00 from Idealtech.

Personally I'd recommend the M12II 520W instead since it's a modular unit... The number of Molex and SATA power cables on the S12II are a lot... and I cannot remove the cables since they are not modular...
A quality 520W unit is still capable of powering the machine though...

Yeah..M12II 520W.Forgot about it,tho..

Game and Peformance?What do you mean by Performance?Rendering,Editing etc ?

CPU:Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3 3.3GHz RM799
Mobo:Asrock B85M-Pro4 RM279
GPU:Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 RM1299
RAM:Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM478
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM189
PSU:Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM299
Casing:Corsair Carbide 200R RM229
ODD:Liteon 24x DVDRW RM59
SSD:Plextor M5S 128GB RM289
Total:RM3920
GPU is from C-Zone,the rest are from Viewnet.

Idk what's your budget.. But i'd recommend this if it's around RM500

LG 23EA53V 23" RM519 (Price is from Viewnet)

Wow, much thank you
ignore the performance, shall I add some coolers for the rig?

Nah it's fine.But if u want a CPU Cooler other than it's Stock Cooler,you can get CM TX3 EVO RM60-90 (From C-Zone).

Psst,if u're only gaming,get the i5 4440 RM579,change ram to 8GB at RM239 and get Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X 4GB GDDR5 RM1630(from Lingloong@GS)..
