thank you for the quote
Normal software as in microsoft words and so on, no randering software.
And for the casing, if change it to CM, which one would be better.
And how about add SSD, can reduce other? if possiblee.

i think later add SSD better, to much to cramp in your budget, unless you want to sacrifice that GPU which is not recommended.
or maybe go with CM K380 casing and non-modular PSU, maybe can get small size SSD.

Yaa thinking on that too, will probably add an SSD later on.
Reduce to non-modular and get a small size SSD, i dont think its worth it. *that's my opinion only.

It'll be fine.
Hmm..if you're willing to spend more,get CM Storm Scout II Black/Gunmetal/White RM279-339.


At least 120GB is worth it IMO. Save up and later on grab an 120/240GB SSD..

Hello masters of custom rigs! Need suggestions for a build with details below:

[Budget]
RM4k

[Purpose]
Mainly as a gaming rig, work stuff (graphic design and illustrations) and everyday use (net browsing, downloading, office document processing)

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Have existing peripherals like mouse and keyboard, 23" Samsung monitor and speakers.
May salvage my 1TB HDD.

[Monitor resolution]
1920 x 1080 - I'm reusing my monitor.
I'm setting a seperate budget for a second monitor for future investment but that's a different story.

[Games & software that use frequently]
Games that I can literally push the settings to the max - BF4, AC4 Black Flag, Tomb Raider, Skyrim
Software - Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Painter, MS Office

[Personal preferences]
- Quote with price on the items
- Throw in an SSD as system drive and an extra 1TB as storage drive.
- Chassis - Sleek and badass design with sufficient aircooling flow. I know there're tons in the market which is hard to decide, so I'll allocate around RM250-400 for one within the RM4k build.
- GPU - I'm more of an Nvdia person.
- At the moment I'm not looking to OC, nor having as water cooling setup.
- Prefered vendor - IdealTech

Kuala Lumpur

Thanks rav3n82.
What if i want to switch the processor to i3?
Is it good?
Because seems like there is still a little bit more budget to spend on.
Thanks!

Here's my suggestion. Prices are based from Viewnet LYP, just for your reference. If they have not yet approached you already, just send them this proposal and let them do the maths for you.

Intel Xeon E3 1230v3 - RM799
Asrock H97 Pro4 – RM329
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM244
Gainward GTX 770 Phantom - RM1299
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
Plextor M5S 256GB SSD – RM519
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM179
Phanteks Enthoo Pro – RM329 (GBros)
Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59

Total – RM4056 (prices are from Viewnet)

Core i3 4130 is RM339 only. However, you intend to use for office work only right? In that case, the Pentium will suffice for your needs.

Take the extra budget and belanja your dad makan.

Thanks rav3n82!
I was thinking an i5 4670 CPU would be suggested instead of a Xeon CPU. Am I correct to say this rig is suggested with the intention of not OC-ing? Please clarify if I'm wrong about that. Although currently I don't have plans but I may have itchy hands to OC in the future

You're right, the quoted rig is for non-OC intent. Ah..preparing just in case eh? In that case, yes you can just consider going with i5 4670K instead and a Z97 board.

Intel Core i5 4670K - RM769
Asrock Z97 Pro4 - RM479
