thanks for the clarification, now I understand the differences. Guess I will just stick back to AIO cooler, I am lazy to clean the 240mm radiator. Since I am not overclocking at all, AIO cooler is enough to overkill, haha

Already using ... thermaltake water pro 3.0 ...

Been researching month ago before I buy my first rig, previously just laptop user. Too much to research, until now still feel my rig is not built correctly...

below are my specs :
Intel i7-4790 CPU - RM969
Asrock B85-Killer Motherboard - RM289
Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 1600mhz (2 unit) RAM - RM140x2 = RM280
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD = RM294
Leadtek GTX 760 (reference design) GPU = RM799
TT Water 3.0 Pro Cooler - RM289
Xigmatek Vector 650w PSU - RM299
Bitfenix Shadow case - RM229

feel like should have go with i5-4690 then maybe a H97 motherboard that with intel LAN. Then can go with 2400mhz ram... even casing I also feel kind of lack the airflow design. Top got no ventilation ...

But xeon ... not all board support, since it's for server. The bios of the board need to support xeon only able to use it. Isn't it?

Hmm... i not sure, been using it for few weeks , on gaming+streaming also did not hear it. I put it beside my desk. Never heard the fan sound.
idle around 40'c , when doing task around 51'c , have not seen it gone higher than 51'c currently.

"It needs proper BIOS support. Xeons are targetted server boards. So its easier for most mobo makers simply to skip it on consumer boards. Its not due to any other limitation."

yea my board support E3-1230v3... LOL
but what if compare E3-1230v3 vs i5-4690 ? seems price around the same. But E3-1230v3

should really have went for E3-1230v3 ... can save around Rm 200...

yea now i learnt something again. How comes suddenly xeon strike into the market of core i series? anyone know? o.o is like making their core i series sales go down by pushing xeon.

Please kindly provide more info, what task you will be doing with your rig?

unless u feel rm 150++ more for extra 0.3ghz(around 8.1% more) + a iGPU which even dota2 lowest setting also just 40fps but still able to display and watch movie , then u can probably get that instead of xeon e3-1230v3

if you are not going to OC, u can just stick back to stock fan. It is sufficient enough. Not needed to change it.
For casing fan, I also not very familiar, but it won't too expensive, mostly only Rm 20~30 I remember

Yes, I am pretty sure the i5 can handle facebook flash game. Don't forget it has igpu.

Setup for Adobe Photoshop CC with expansion in mind. I suggest looking for zhen^wei or youngkeen for better quality power supply like Seasonic, Corsair and Antec. They also can build entire rig and post it to you if u don't mind about the hassle of warranty. Failure from quality products is rare.

You need quality products for business use. Or you can order branded PC like HP or Dell for better support.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will use that as guidelines, I have heard of zhen^wei ideatech but never been before deal with them. If based on their current hardware list offer here: idealtech pricelist so what would be your recommendation?

Few question above as well:
1) I saw others using Xeon type of Intel Proc. What is that? First time heard of it.
2) What makes diff. of Blue, Black, Red, Green of WD HDD? Can you mind to #spoonfeed the difference?

Thank you for your time.

Xeon 1230v3 is almost like an i7 processor without AGP.
Since you not going for Overclock and using external gpu, it is recommended to go for xeon, cheaper.

WD black - faster drive , but still slower than SSD. Expensive.
WD blue - most common drive, cheap and good enough for daily task.
WD red - if not mistaken is specilize for RAID
WD green - lower power consumption but slower speed

you play games on company pc...? then depends on what game you playing , then only decide which tier gpu to be use

Maybe this?
Intel Xeon E3 1230v3 - RM799
Asrock H97 Pro4 – RM329
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - RM244
ZOTAC GeForce GTX760 2GB - RM749
Seasonic S12 II 620W PSU - RM299
Intel 530 Series 120GB SSD - RM289
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD - RM174
Corsair Carbide Spec-03 - RM205

gpu from gbros , others from viewnet

for overclock motherboard it is named as Z
non-overclock is H

example
Z87 = overclockable
H87 = non-overclock

yup , just like what Minecrafter said.
The higher end stuff always cost more money but increased not much.
