Unable? Where did you go and buy? Linglong should have all three.

Well, you can swap with any other GTX750 Ti variations, PSU you can get the S12-II 620W @ RM299, and casing you can look at the NZXT Source 210 @ RM159.

Aiks. How about the newer components I recommended?

Mobo you can follow Minecrafter's suggestion.

Sorry lah Sifu. Haha.

Lol bro recommendation 1 was my original build for you except for the motherboard. But otherwise follow lingloong's recommendaction since it has the StormX Dual, and im assuming since he gave you the list he has stocks for all.

The H87 Performance is also fine. But only take it if the H97 Pro4 is really out of stock.

NZXT Source 210.

The Hyper X Fury is only RM259, which is slightly above that of value ram but with substantially better timings. So why not? Extra RM10-15 only. Haha.

Yeah the Hyper 212X would be fine as well. But the 612 I recommended is 120mm tall IIANM, and the Spec can handle it just fine. But decision is ultimately his.

Yeah lingloong's list is closest to my original recommendation. Hahaha. But yeah a change in mobo is fine. I also hope it'll all be in stock for you.

Keep us posted as to your progress.

Not really, If you install programs and games in your SSD you'll see significant speed boosts across all areas. Get the Samsung Evo 840 120GB. RM300 or less.

hahaha no. It's just gonna decrease load times.

Yup, as llk said, SLi or crossfire you need at least 800W to be safe. Get a Seasonic X850 lol since you're planning to SLi your cards.

Motherboard Manufacturer’s May Allow Intel’s Devil’s Canyon CPU Support on Z87 Motherboards

No point. The only reason why I even bought the 4770K was because my friend bundled it with the 290X. Got it cheap for 800+ or so for a fairly new unit. Otherwise for gaming I could've gotten a 4670 and a cheap mobo and focus on GPUs hahah.

Having more cores does not mean better performance, especially if your single core works slower then another compatible chip.

PLUS, The problem is cores scale nowhere near 100% for gaming either. So a 8 core chip would not give you a direct advantage on that front either when it's single core performance is already slower than that of a Intel chip.

Example - ARMA 3 core loading on an 8-core AMD CPU:-

vs an Intel 4-core CPU:-
http://gamegpu.ru/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/ARMA%2...

Although 8 cores are being used, half are only used as little as 8% per core. On the 4-core Intel it isn't slower because it just means the cores loaded at 8% mean the difference between a 60% loaded core vs a 52% loaded core. It still isn't CPU bottlenecked. This is typical of many games - load 1-2 cores at 80-90% and the others often under 20% due to threading limitations.

Outside of very easily paralleled stuff (eg, video editing), even the most heavily optimised games (eg, Crysis 3) show only 50% difference between a 2C vs 4C but less than 10% 4C vs 8C AMD or 4C vs 6C Intel:-
http://www.techspot.com/review/642-crysis-3-performance...

New games engines may well be written for the new consoles with 8 cores, but each of those 8 cores runs at only half the speed of PC's - 1.75GHz for XBone & 2.0GHz for PS4. 4C->8C also doesn't scale anywhere near the 50% boost seen on some 2C->4C games.

Cross-platform games engines will also continue to be written for the "Lowest Common Denominator" (ie, consoles). You simply aren't going to see a "designed for 4GHz FX-8350 with all 8-cores maxed out" engine, because the same ported engine simply wouldn't run on an 1.75-2.0GHz PS4 or XB1 (whose CPU is only half the speed of desktop PC's even without 1-2 cores being held in reserve for background tasks).

Edit : It's also not a given that next-gen games will be coded for all 8 cores on consoles:-

Even with 8 cores, a number of next-gen games so far are either 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps (Killzone Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4, etc). Part of that may be due to the GPU, but part may also be that CPU thread scaling isn't efficient enough to make up 30 vs 60fps difference, so it gets pegged at 30fps to avoid screen tearing / more consistent fps on consoles.

Guys Feiton offering 280X TurboDuo for RM799 only. Limited to ten units. Grab one fast.

Bro the 280X is only limited to ten units. Better be fast or the GPU would be no more. Lots of people on FB are hinting they want a unit too.

No limitations? But the FB page stated clearly. Plus people have already rushed to buy it this morning too. It'll also be extremely unfair for someone to walk in and grab 4-5 units at once. I don't think Feiton would allow that for limited stocks.

Well, no limitations to how many you can take it maybe, but my point is stock is still limited still stands. So you still have to go grab a unit fast.

Ah sorry. Missed your post.

Yeah its nice. Solid performer without much reported issues so far.

AMD and nVidia makes the base reference designs. Companies like Gigabyte, ASUS, Powercolor, Gainward, Sapphire takes those designs and make usually better non reference versions.

Wah reference 290X. Haha. Can get cheaper for 1.7-1.8k at Viewnet, if I am not mistaken. Clearance. . But I would spend RM200-300 more and get a non reference unit.

I know. But I remembered someone called and got a lower price. llk it was viewnet or somewhere else?

If you have to remove the warranty sticker in order to remove the shroud and cooler then yes.

But some sellers don't mind as long you keep the original cooler along when RMA. Have to check and confirm.

Yup depends on luck. If taken care properly you night even use it longer than 3-4 years without issues if lucky.
