hello all again,

1- Looking for Z97 mboard bcoz im gonna try oc. So below what im found within my budget rm500, so asking ur guys with one best value for the price

*MSI Z97M-G43
*ASRock Z97 PRO4
*ASRock Z97M PRO4
*MSI Z97M-G43


2 - Currently using seasonic s11 620 bronze, good enough for oc-ing using air cooler/water cooler?

3 - processor not decide yet, but maybe for upcoming Core i5-4690K / Pentium G3258 proc *worth ? or w8 for gen5?



*im not going hardcore oc-ing


peace peace

The price looks pretty standard market price. So no issues there.

All looks good. I assume the Leadtek card is the dual fan OC version, because the reference card only costs around RM800. Either one would do, but the Leadtek card does have a slightly higher core clock speed.

Thanks for the suggestions sifus...

HI. Please help me.

[Budget] The cheapest it can be

[Purpose] To solely play Diablo 3 : Reaper of souls

In case Asrock is not available in your place., any other H81 boards from Asus, MSI or Gigabyte is fine. But they may be just be a tad expensive compared to Asrock though.

How big a deal is OC-ing? Heard new nvidia line up, new intel chips and ASUS unlocking h97 (I think). Does that mean I should go for a 4670k to make it more worthwhile?

And also, is it possible to build a 4k rig for gaming with a 770 or a 280x inclusive of a monitor?

And last question does anyone know if I can buy a copy of Windows 7 at a discount if I have a .edu email?

oc'ing can be vary, my friend just do a little bit of oc'ing with i5 to get a little more juice, and then theres some others here who do it with passion with all fully watercooling and push their cpu to the limit. got example of that in here oso, like Sentinel92.

and that would be the Z97 or any Z motherboard. i know a little can be made with b or h but the z is the appropriate one.

4k with 770/280x is possible, but...theres gonna be a little hold back. if u got the money why not.
later just upgrade the gpu

ohhh and about the last part, not sure tho. need to ask seller i guess.

Lel you tagged the 'Pool fan incorrectly.
Sentinel92

4K with monitor and os is possible i think..

i dont know it was case sensitive.


ohhhhh that guy meant 4k worth of rig, i thought 4k reso.

haha. I should have clarified it was a 4k budget. But again, is it still possible? Rm 4k budget inclusive of a monitor and prefably a 770 or 280x. Mainly for gaming, of course, and perhaps learning programming.
The question about the discount is because a friend in SG managed to get it directly from microsoft. He claimed as long as your email has a edu, you qualify. Wanted to confirm before I made a food of myself.

So, OC, for the usual person, not that important?

yeah 4k rig with 770/280x + a monitor are absolutely possible.

about windows 7 discount,i myself can confirm it, but sounds possible and logical.

im not saying its not important, i also believe its not really that necessary.
if you are kinda guy who love games, and doing job with pc and not really "getting into tweaking stuff". go with normal non ocing build.

to be honest my 2nd build gonna be a oc build. hopefully.
