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.

haha. I should have clarified it was a 4k budget. But again, is it still possible?
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?

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 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!

Aye sorry, not much a fan of NZXT so abit out of date on their side

hi guys, I got a budget of RM 3k. Can you let me know what is the best system I can get assuming I have monitor/speaker/keyboard/mouse/SSD/Hd already?

All I need is RAM/CPU/Motherboard/PSU/VGA/Casing

I think Windows 8/7 keys are cheap. RM 50+- , chunyip91 all you need to have is a 4GB Pendrive and the Windows OS .iso file. You can search youtube for further details.

Yeah, I think it's legit. Saw some on r/softwareswap [ Thanks to redstreak for providing these infos ]

i bought 1 key recently and activated it with no issue   Sentinel92 asked me where did i get it lol...you can find the key in GS...RM40-50

just played watch dogs which i got it for free from nvidia for a while..still browsing the steam sales

This.

Try to ask C-Zone if they have the 2GB version of the GTX 760, which should cost cheaper. The 4GB one quoted below is ridiculous, there aren't many other GTX 760 choices in C-Zone's pricelist.

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM579
Asus H97M-E - RM349
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM259
Leadtek GTX 760 4GB OC – RM999
Silverstone Strider Essential 500W PSU - RM179
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM179
Intel 530 Series 120GB SSD - RM289
Cooler Master K380 Casing - RM149
Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM55

Total - RM3037 (prices are from C-Zone)

Hi, my old dell from 2006 just had its motherboard die on me, now I wish to get a new desktop.

However, I wish to not spend too much on it yet.

I'm hoping to get a decent spec PC, though.. Err I'm not sure how much I can spend. So keep it RM1.3k for now?

I already have everything else, with a 23" Dell IPS display.

Can anyone recommend me? I already have a Samsung 160GB and WD Green 640GB so I intend to salvage those. ALSO salvaging my DVD burner along with the TP-link PCI wireless receiver for wifi.

I plan on upgrading it in future, step by step, so basic specs are okay, will still need an average graphic card for DOTA 2, though. Thanks!

Hi bro, thanks for the suggestion! My previous computer runs on Pentium D 3GHz, with GeForce 8600GT, 1.5GB DDR2 ram, stupid question but should the performance be a lot better with this rig? I shall google more on it but was wondering if you can share your opinion with me. will the mobo be upgradable to better GPUs in the future? D they have the same slot? What about the processor? Could it one day be changed to a higher spec one? Thanks!!

Hello sifu and everyone . I'm here on behalf of my friend, he wanted to custom a pc but doesnt have a lot of knowledge about it.

[Location]
Sepang.

Thankyou very much 

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.

not sure about the proc ... but the Mobo , wow this suggestion is much more better

Hello all, need suggestions on mobo on the following build:

CPU      - i5 4690
MOBO  -
GPU      - Palit GTX760 Jetstream
PSU      - Corsair RM650
HDD    - Western Digital Black 1TB
RAM    - Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz

Please do give other suggestions on other hardwares stated above.
My budget is around RM3000 - RM 3500

You want to spend RM 1000+- for a Case? If not just state a budget. Ease up the search, say like around RM 500+- we can do it, else they're gonna spam you with Corsair 900D.

I think that's it, the Corsair 900D, a Super Tower, cost RM 1270. It's one hell of a big case that's for sure.

Here's some case suggestion for below RM 400

Bitfenix Ghost - RM 339
Phanteks Enthoo Pro - RM 329
NZXT H440 - RM 399
NZXT Source 530 - RM 320
NZXT 410 - RM 325
Corsair Carbide 330R - RM 335
Corsair Carbide 500R - RM 395

If you have doubts or so, checks each single case and it's review. Just google the name of these case and type review in it.

Thank u so much for the recommendation.
Btw, is it worth the money to get gtx770 instead of gtx760?
Also Is it better to get Intel Core i5 4690 if i can fork out a lil more or do u think the i5 4460 is sufficient?

Thanks for the suggestion 

The suggested processor is the Haswell model right?

How about the cooling part, do I need to get specific one or just go with the standard?

One more thing, how does the different between normal GTX750 and the Ti model? Is there any significant difference?

there is.



the non-Ti are around the same tier with R7 260x
