If you want to do overclocking yes the G3258 is good. To me both of the 280X and 770 are on par with each other. If you like to play games that uses the Nvidia Gameworks e:g Upcoming Assassin's Creed title then the way to go is Nvidia. I think AMD has upper advantage on Far Cry as per usual.

Pls help me.. cos I m noob for computer hardware..Previously using a old Toshiba lappy.

Thank you !!!

They are almost on par, i tested the 280x and the 770, in games like watch dogs the 770 performs slighly a bit better while in Bf4 you do see the 280x with mantle Performs quite well. The extra memory vram on the 280x some may say it's useful but i see it as pretty much redundant. Power consumption wise the 770 is more efficient . Even if you have a good 550w psu, you will most likely get away with it

GPU is from Feiton@GS,the rest are from Viewnet.

I'd suggest you to little bit morr and go with the first option for the CPU,since u're doing Illustrator,Photoshop,Indesign. Or go with the second option if u don't wanna save.

what's the downside and upside of G3258? let's say i overclocked it, will it perform better than the current i5-4460 for example?

NOPE. Well in terms of speed maybe, but in terms of cores/hyper threaded multitasking the i5 will win.

oh i see...i was thinking of using it as my gaming desktop's cpu

280x / gtx770 will be bottlenecked by G3258 is it?

Hmm that I do not know, you might want to do some research on that. But it seems good pairing with a Titan. You heard that right. "THE" Titan.

Here's linky > http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pentiu...nce,3849-3.html

By the fps benchmark seems like one hell of a great processor to handle the Titan.

This is nice!! Thanks. Who can i look for if wanted to buy?

Those prices are quoted from Viewnet. You can head over to any shop in LYP actually, or even IdealTech is a good choice as well.

juz bought new dell monitor from all-it
when test can on
after assemble at home kenot on
try troubleshoot everything
what can i do , call dell or go back all-it but that will be far.

i dont think this is the right section to ask.

anyway test with other monitor if you have any.

cannot on? signal not detected? power indicator got?

last time i assembled a pc for my friend..he use chasis CM K380...monitor cant detect signal because hdmi port got half-blocked by the chasis.
ended up having to use knife to cut a bit rubber part of the head of hdmi cable

this is so true, cm casing got some bulge part behind the case, my cm k350 also have this

yep. i was cursing the shop we bought the components from.
and 1 more thing, Dell monitors(S series especially) only come together with vga cable.
they should at least provide a dvi cable inside the packaging box. i mean the monitors are advertised as Full-HD monitors arent they? what's the vga cable for? lol..
i ended up having to go back to the shop and ask for a hdmi cable. luckily they dont charge for that cable.

*just a reminder to people buying Dell monitors and CM chasis. still relevant to this thread i think.

I think it's pretty much standard they will give vga cable. You can use dvi to vga converter i think it's included in the package. For the hdmi port , try and adjust the position of your videocard.

The i5 from previous generation same goes with the GTX 660. Mind telling what you like about the rig? Is it the casing? You want a similar new rig with the same kind of chassis. Oh also how much budget would put into it?

yea. Kinda like the casing. Coz seems to be small and portable, but would that be a problem when it come to the case's cooling system?

Would prefer something portable. Coz I might bring it to my uni, after graduate, easy to bring it back to my hometown too.

budget around 2.5k to max 3k

btw, dun nid to include keyboard and mouse, can reuse. Will need speaker and monitor though. If budget too tight, might cut off the speaker and juz use my headphone.
