Around the 1500 range,AMD is the only option.Either drop down to GTX770,or top up 350 ringgit and get GTX780. nod.gif
You've had bad experiences with AMD's GPUs before huh?

Do you do video editing and rendering a lot?What softwares do you use?

AMD is pretty okay now really.

But if you want nVidia get the Gainward GTX770 Phantom from lingloong at RM1185 then. Unless you're willing to add another extra RM500-800 to your budget for a 780/780Ti.
*
Mhmm.

Drop down to 770 or spend more for 780 or 780Ti. icon_idea.gif

You can actually stick with the stock intel cooler as well. These chips don't put out as much heat as their K series brethren.

As for water cooling, only get it if you're overclocking. If your budget can increase to 4.5k plus then maybe can add a K series chip plus a nice AIO.

Custom WC is a whole different story all together and will take 1-2k easily.
