Good evening.
Need help with my custom gonna-be rig specification.

Intel i7 4770k processor.
16GB Kingston hyper x RAM.
120GB Hyper x SSD.
1TB HDD.
Sapphire HD 7870 (reusing)

What mobo, psu ,casing and cooling system should I use to fit this spec? ( gonna make it dual gpu next month , crossfire.)
My budget is around 4.3k including 23 inch monitor (still on consideration)
Could someone total up how much this spec cost?

about casing, I might love to have a compact one. sweat.gif
Thanks in advance.

Usage?  Gaming or gaming with workstation-related stuff? icon_idea.gif
Compact case?  Do you prefer microATX case, or mini-ITX cases? brows.gif

Gaming and workstation thou.
I would like bitfenix prodigy but that case cannot support dual gpu I guess.


I am going LowYat tomorrow so I need to know what to buy. sweat.gif

Do you plan to overclock your CPU?
Note that you do not need liquid cooling, and air coolers can be better than liquid coolers thermal and acoustic-wise... icon_idea.gif

encikapat, although it seems like a good idea to CrossFireX your GPU, but the stability of multi-GPU set ups are not very good, and you might have issues when playing the latest games, and will always need to latest drivers.

If you want to get more performance, consider selling your current GPU on LYN, and then with the added cash, buy a better discrete GPU, like a GTX750Ti for less than RM600, or a GTX760 for less than RM900.

You will have more fun playing games, instead of trying to fix things with a higher end single discrete GPU compared to CrossFireX.

Thank you for the opinion. I am still recalculate my budget,since I don't know the item price. I would like to have nvidia gc since my current amd gc giving so much driver problem. But of course,if I had enough budget.

The 4670K is basically a non hyperthread version of the 4770K. So it works just as well for games or general usage and will last you a long time

But if you require more juice for multiple programs, then get the 4770 (non K version). Plug and play out of the box hyper threading. But without OCing. Which is you want to use for the long run is better anyhow since you're not overclocking for benchmarking purposes.

But if you still want to OC plus an i7 you'll have to sacrifice some of the monitor budget or get a cheaper GPU.

Thanks you. notworthy.gif Btw i can add another few hundred into my budget.

The i7-4770k is RM 330 more than the i5, imo i5 got is enough with it being OC'ed and all can last long enough.

let say if i wanna use an i7 cpu. does it mean i need to change mobo base and your setup before?

Then be able to make some additions. My take on Zgames's recommendation.
Proc - Intel Core i7-4770K RM1050
Mobo - Asrock Z87M Pro 4 RM 349
GPU - Gainward GTX770 Phantom OC 2GB RM1,430
PSU - FSP Raider 650w RM 270
HDD - 1TB WD Blue RM 189
RAM - 8GB RAM RM 239
Casing - NZXT Source 210 RM159
SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 120GB RM320
Screen -  Asus VX239H RM699 (Great 1080p IPS screen.)
Total: RM4705.

You can still stick to the Zotac GTX770 if you wanna save some cash, or use the saved money to get a PH-TC14CS CPU Cooler from GBros at RM240. Comes it four different fantastic fan colors and it's a good complement to your OCed 4770K.
