I want a desktop, i am stating my view of i prefer not to have anything to do with these brands as i have ahd bad experiences with them on the laptop platform.

Just wondering..
Intel xeon 1230 v3 versus Intel Core i5 4460..
Is there any big difference in term of performance?

not EOL, just sold out.
could try others seller *take a look in 1st page*

if you want custom build, we here dont even come up with those brand.
later sifu will recommend you some spec.

based on what you are doing, gaming wise not much of a different but xeon totally have some extra hand with turbo clock up to 3.7GHz.
working wise, xeon do help with those hyper-threading.

in gaming nope, but if you are running application or programs that uses hyper-threading then yes there will be difference.

Looking for a mini-ATX setup as well. Been too long since I last looked at hardware reviews ...

Any suggestions for a gaming machine ? Specs should handle BF4 on High, budget ~RM4000 just case & components.

Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX?

Cut from the RAM and mobo.

The GPU is too dated (pretty much EOLed in the market) and doesn't justify in a set of 5k rig, try to get minimumly a GTX760.

Overall, I won't call it a good specs for a RM5k rig (or I should say RM4k since you spent RM1k+ for the monitor). The stuffs are good/cool/premium but they don't aid in making your rig powerful. It's better focus more punch on the GPU/GPU first b4 concentrating on fancy cool looking RAM/MOBO/CASE/COOLER.

i5 4670k (769)
Asrock Z87 Extreme4 (549)
840 EVO 250GB (559)
8GB Hyper X Fury (289)
GTX760 (799)
Decent Air cooler (200)
Antec/Seasonic PSU (300)
DVD (60)
Monitor (1180)
Speaker (130)
Sub 200 budget case (200)

Total - 5035

Yes. A monitor is needed. Will i3 able to support gaming smoothly? How about i5? Pls advise

Core i3 is good enough, based on your budget. However, if you can still extend a bit, then the i5 is definitely the better choice here.
