Dear sifus, the other day i enquire some sifu here and i finally made up my mind on what to get. but still there is some problem. can advice?
my budget is 3k btw. used for render stuff n gaming.
i plan to get everything from czone had good experience with them, but some parts they dont have like the case, fsp psu, and gpu.....
or i should i head to viewnet?

Proc - Xeon 1230 V3 RM 799
Mobo - Asus B85M-G RM 279
PSU - Seasonic S12II 620 - RM 299 ( izit too overkill or it is future proof if i want to upgrade? or i should stick with FSP Hexa 500w RM 149? but czone dont have... )
GPU - Gainward GTX 760 Phantom RM 849 ( most of the place i ask out of stock. including lingloong n gbros. please recomend me another one)
HDD - 1TB WD Blue RM 189
RAM - Kingston Value Ram 8GB RM 230
Casing - Aerocool XPredatorX1 RM 179 ( is this case ok? i actually want to find a case with side window so match cm devastator for the blue blingbling and good airflow. 2nd choice is corsair carbide spec 03 RM 207. 3rd choice oni got usb 2.0 nzxt source 210 RM 159)
Wifi Card - TP Link TL-WN881ND RM 49
KB/M Combo - CM Devastator RM 149
ODD - LiteOn DVD RW RM 55

Extra note
Idealtech recommended me this extra part
Cooler: CM HYper 212X RM135 and the reason > (the temperature of Xeon can reach 100C if load)
izit needed?

adding up everything with seasonic psu,aerocool case without gpu will be RM 2228
lets say i want to stick with GTX 760, which is better? zotac? palit? leadtek? i was recommended by seller as gainward no stock. whats the price? if over abit i think i can top up my budget a lil bit

lets say i want to stick to 3k budget, what gpu around RM 780 is best bang for the buck?

sorry for too long, cuz i got fed up finding the gpu too. thanks sifus!

Ok bro, thanks for ur recommendation. If antec can last mw for future, i guess i will go with antec. then i got rm100 can invest in gpu?

Hehehehe... wht gpu around Rm 880? I wan phantommm but no stock

Zotac is ssshhhooo ugly.... i try find phantom, if dun hav then need find tht ugly zotac d...

This post has been edited by cle900706: Apr 18 2014, 12:34 AM

haha.... thought it will be appropriate to post here... so you still recommend to get a better psu. u mean the s12II 620w? 299 from viewnet rite?

you know, we need a side window for the bling! future planning, add a nzxt rgb led control

alright bro~ but zotac only cycom got. other parts viewnet got

ok bro~
hehehehehe, i prefer the bane look. mayb if can i go compare spec02 with spec03

noted bro!



haha, too much to read i guess?
yealo, alot ppl didnt ask me to get cooler, only idealtech ask me to get, say will reach 100c lols!
what cheap heatsink u recommend?

i forgot to mention, gbros recommend this mobo GA.H87M-D3H instead of asus that u all recommend. its almost the same rite?

This post has been edited by cle900706: Apr 18 2014, 08:12 AM

hahaha, bcuz bcuz spec 01 bottom dust filter easier to pull out
watch 01 02 03 review and i feel all oso ok

oohh~ more features? i think asus is enough too and cheaper

btw, for the case i wanna get, they will include 2 fans only.

i want to get extra fans, what brand is cool, quiet and got led bling bling? wan to get blue to match cm devastator

how these 2 compared to zotac amp which is around 890 from viewnet

izit? bcuz zotac 890 and now this is 900! im looking for gainward but no stock! previously is around 860 only

errr. so zotac and gainward is better than msi?

err.. so u mean u saw gainward phantom at jayacom?

This post has been edited by cle900706: Apr 18 2014, 03:25 PM

wow! zotac can be so hot? omg! what about gainward phantom?

ic..... msi does have a very low temp compared to others other than asus

what about performance wise? msi vs gainward phantom vs zotac amp?

actually not much diffrences in terms of performance... hhmm, then msi really have a good cooling!

alright bro, noted!


my revised build!

Proc - Xeon 1230 V3 RM 799
Mobo - Asus B85M-G RM 279
PSU - Seasonic S12II RM 299 (from bro sentinel's recommendation )
GPU - 1) MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr Gaming RM900 (from jayacom)
2) Gainward GTX 760 Phantom RM 849 if got stock
3) Zotac GTX 760 AMP! RM 880 (if wan cut cost go with Gainward GTX760)
HDD - Reuse lappy HD (500GB)
SSD - Plextor M5S 128GB RM 284
RAM - Kingston Value Ram 8GB RM 230
Casing - Still cant decide... from this listing start with most preferable (Corsair Carbide Spec 01/02/03 RM 179/RM 207/RM 207, Cooler Master N300 RM 179, NZXT Source 210 RM 159)
Wifi Card - TP Link TL-WN881ND RM 49
KB/M Combo - CM Devastator RM 149
ODD - LiteOn DVD RW RM 55

few question here sifus
1) which to choose from from the GPU section? from what other sifus posted earlier on, MSI have the best cooling and performance is almost the same with gainward and zotac. and now jayacom's price is RM900! please advice!

if im going with MSI and carbide spec 01, total will be 3223..... hahahahaha, what happened to my 3k budget

This post has been edited by cle900706: Apr 18 2014, 09:26 PM

3223 i think should be ok, need to get approval from finance department first

i like how you can replace gainward's fan easily
to me, i feel gainward is the best looking, followed by msi and lastly zotac

to you, which is the best looking?

and if you refer http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforc...104,3542-6.html
msi is the best bang for buck if it is rm900!

This post has been edited by cle900706: Apr 18 2014, 10:02 PM

yea~ finance department

hahahahaha~ now you mentioned, i do feel gainward looks like radiator


i guess i gonna go with msi since its quiet n cooler




btw sifus, the case i going to get only have 2 fans, i wan to buy 2 more.

what case fan is cheap, quiet, cool ? led and non led?

and if i want to use 2.5" hd into the case, do i need a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket?

hahahaha, now we are into blingbling huh?

yea... if not mistaken its bitfenix spectre and arctic cooling f12? right Sentinel92

what about 2.5" to desktop. need any extra cases?
