Guys~ u all have suggested too much Gainward GTX760 Phantom lately and now I couldn't find any out there. Idealtech and lingloong said it was out of stock right now and have to wait for 2 months!

anyway, I was planning to get the NZXT H230 case but until i saw the link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforc...104,3542-6.html today and some of u guys saying this too. Wonder it Phantom will get hotter if put into H230 since the case is build for silent and low ventilation. How you guys think?

And I have searched the B85 series of other brands like Asus Gigabyte and MSI, they din state Xeon support. So meaning that they sure cannot support Xeon? I only found Asrock does state with Xeon support.

Everyone learn from mistake I wasn't sure too and that's y i asked. wasn't in hardware field for a long while and thx to this thread let me catch up quickly

anyway, i think i will just stick to Asrock B85 Killer

Btw, any suggestion is welcome. My budget is below RM2.5k. And this is my desired specs.

Processor: Xeon E3-1230v3
Motherboard: Asrock B85M Killer
RAM: HyperX Fury 1600Mhz 8G
PSU: FSP Raider 550W
Graphic: Gainward GTX760 Phantom
Case: NZXT H230
HDD: reused
Accessories: reused

Do you guys think is it better to look for lowest price separately or stick to one reseller to get all the parts? Because some reseller may not have the parts or some parts are higher price than another reseller.

Ya, but im still trying to ask another seller whether they still have stock for it. Although Gbros is selling RM870, RM21 higher then lingloong, i think i will just get from him, dun wanna wait for 2 months. HAHA, is abit too long.

Not more than RM50 discount offerred if getting all from one place =( more discount would be offerred if total price is higher i guess.

Ok, will try to get all the parts from single reseller, either Idealtech or Gbros, if possible. Most of the time I bought the stuffs from C-zone, but too bad they do not have Asrock B85 Killer, NZXT case, Gainward/Zotac graphic cards and FSP PSU. With my tight budget, couldn't get seasonic or silverstone PSU that available at C-zone.

But these specs seems over my budget

Processor: Xeon E3-1230v3
Motherboard: Asrock B85M Killer
RAM: HyperX/Corsiar Fury 1600Mhz 8G
PSU: FSP Raider 550W
Graphic: Gainward GTX760 Phantom/Zotac 760AMP
Case: NZXT H230
HDD: reused
Accessories: reused

Thanks for the help of considering the parts for me due to my tight budget. But instead of saving more money on getting cheaper and less performance parts, I now try to increase my budget rm200-300 more. I gonna use it for 7 years perhaps and due to my heavy multitasking everyday, tons of tabs in chrome and mozilla, words & excels, Visual studio, Web programming, VMwares, light photoshop, Bluestacks, and sometimes gaming on FSP, strategy and PS2/PS1 emulator. My 4 years laptop couldn't serve me longer with these heavy tasks

Sorry to disturb, here is some nice cases with nice functionalities and features which I have been searching because I was looking for a ATX/mATXcase that comes with friendly budget around RM200, great air flow and provide dust filter, just because my house is always full of dust and my coming pc wont be in air con room. I'm not going to review it but instead I include the link someone reviewed for it Sorry if these was shared before, but i feel like sharing to u guys.

All the price is from Gbros. Not helping him advertise but I was just too lazy to search the cheapest price over the forum, forgive me. There is one thing need to take noted, you will find some usb3 is installed in latest version of cases instead of all usb2, because the reviews are years ago.
Hope this help you guys on suggestting a great air flow, functionalities and budget friendly cases.

Btw, I'm still thinking which case to choose. Lol
