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~

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..

Thanks for your inputs!
