There..

Heyo sifus!

[Budget]: RM4k-6k (if possible..i realise i'm asking for some expensive stuff. Might be willing to overbudget slightly..but I would be happier the closer it is to 4k)

[Purpose]: Gaming, WatchDogs on max settings, the upcoming Witcher 3 on max settings too
heavy video & photo rendering/editing as well

[Hardwares that will be re-use]: None

[Monitor resolution]: 1980X1080p [I already have a monitor]


[Personal preferences]
I have my eyes on these babies:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4820K
- GPU: MSi GTX780Ti Twin Frozr Gaming OC Edition
- RAM: 16gb (please recommend a brand)
- HDD: 2TB
- SSD: 256gb or 128gb? Prefer more of course but I might settle for less if the overall price has gotten out of hand..
- OS: Windows 8.1 64bit
- Casing: Something badass coz i'm looking to show it off

I'm not looking to overclock or anything, but I don't know if the above setup requires water-cooling or whatnot.

Also..I was wondering; when you guys quote the total price does it include assembly of the rig? I'm definitely not gonna be able to assemble all these things myself

Thanks in advance everyone!

If not into OC'ing I'd recommend getting a Xeon. Cheaper and the same as an i7-4770. If not into OC'ing just go for a simple aircooling setup. Maybe pick up a LED Bling Bling Aftermarket Heatsink that cost around RM 150+

Badass casing is so many in the market right now. One of em is NZXT 530. Ain't that right Sentinel92

Thanks for the reply Zgames!

I've not researched the Xeon and have no idea how it compares to the i7, but what if i want to OC in the future? Would a Xeon be a hindrance to that?

NZXT 530..is it this one?
http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/134-phantom-530.html

That does look badass

...but then after awhile though I thought it looked familiar...turns out a friend of mine has the exact same one!

Please recommend me another one so I can be unique and special (against my friend at least)

Thanks for the info. I'll try asking their customer support and see if I can get the discount. Maybe even snag a cheap Microsoft Office

Hmm... Do you think it will be a good idea to go for i5 4670? I'm gonna hopefully save on cutting out the driver and getting a discount on the OS
By usual, I guess I mean someone who just enjoys gaming but not really interested in learning about OC. I was concerned that I would be CPU bound in the future.

Thanks for the information!

actually for the OS part..you can download the installation media from the microsoft site and buy the key from garage sales seller..i just bought 1 for RM50..win 8 pro 64 bit...hehe..the seller even asked me to activate the key first n only pay him if the key works

Unique eh? Hmmm

How about the NZXT H440? Or the Bitfenix Ghost? Or the Corsair 450D or Corsair Carbide 500R?

About the CPU no, the Xeon does not support OC. If you want to OC you'll need to find an Intel Proc that has the K which means it can unlock and pair it with a Z87 or Z97 series motherboard.

Yeap. But 530 has two models mang. Source and phantom. hahaha. Better be distinct next time.

Xeon cannot be OC-ed. But performance wise at stock speeds is basically the same as the 4770K. Its basically a non OC and Graphicsless 4770K.

Bro there is two 530's btw. Phantom 530 and Source 530. Both at very different price points. At the cheaper Source 530 range you can have a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro as well.

Aye sorry, not much a fan of NZXT so abit out of date on their side

Eh,don't forget about Fractal Design R4..


IMHO,going just for .2GHz increase for about RM100-110 more isn't worth it TBH.

If the person wants to OC,then the person needs a i5 4690k/4670k or the i7 4790k/4770k,Z97/87 motherboard and a good third party cooler.
CPU bound?Huh?

I knew it,you don't even like the boxy Source 210.

Sentinel92

I play Planetside 2. And it's kinda an unoptimized piece of shit so my CPU tanks like mad. so... yeah...

KSP as well.. especially when you start building sillier space stations.

Unfortunately, the main games I play for now tend to be a bit more CPU heavy.

thanks mate. appreciate it

I am currently using the following spec;
Proc :I7 2600k at 4.5Ghz
Mobo : P8P67 Pro
GPU : Radeon 6950 ( flashed to 6970)
Ram : Crosair XMS 2Gbx4 (8gb total)
PSU - something silver 80%
Casing - CM HAC case
Disk - Samsung evo 840 128gb SSD ( primary for games etc)
2TBx2 WD black for other non essential stuff

thinking of getting something a tad more powerful. just that industry standard sikit sikit change socket lol now render my board useless for an upgrade.

I usually play game at 1920x1080 on my Samsung p2770 screen. Played NFS Rival + Tomb Raider ( 2013 ) version and kind of laggy. Tomb Raider was at normal setting at the said resolution and when the water scene or smoke or etc, become laggy. same with nfs.

Save your bucks and just go with a graphic card upgrade. Your processor is actually still very powerful today. Am using the same one myself. Go with a GTX 780 Ti.

HD 6950 (or 6970 unlocked) wouldn't cut it anymore.

roger that sir!

will scout for a good one.....amd or NVidia which is better? I'm lost with technology....ati has mentle or something like that that gives direct access to the gpu right?

anyway - i'l take your advise and get a killer vga. I wonder if I can use larger ram memory like 8gb x2 or so? not sure if my board supports these memory but will be nice to have > 10gb of ram

Well, they both have their own unique features. It's really up to you. But at a budget of about RM2.3k, the GTX 780 Ti is the fastest single GPU card in the market.

8GB of RAM should suffice for most needs.

as for Graphic card it all depends on your budget.

and having more than 8gb ram doesnt really help with anything especially when using it normally

thanks mate. i'l prolly get a midrange one instead. r9 280x 3gb of ram is about 1100 ringgit thereabout which offers about 70% better performance than the current card. use the rest of the cash to prolly get another 1 more ssd and raid 0 it
