Thank for your help,its okay i will jz take the 750W although seems like way too much watt for my current rig.

I will just reuse this for my end year rig later on. Not sure why they say need use 2 x 8 pin.if someone can clarify would be great

hi everyone here, im newbie here..
i have a question.. why we need 2 hardisk ?
is it we store our window files in SSD.. Game files in HDD.. so that can read fast & smooth ?

HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM174
SSD:Plextor M5 Pro Extreme 128GB RM299

Not just to store OS in the SSD,but applications too.. The computer will boot faster..and apps will load faster.
But for stuffs like music etc,put in HDD la.

The issue is this, the MSI GTX 770 TF4 needs 2 x 8-pin power connector.


The M12 II PSU only has 1 x 6+2-pin and 1 x 6-pin power connector.


You can easily solve it by using this adapter cable. Connect one end from the PSU (6-pin) to the cable, then plug the adapter cable to the GPU. The diagram should be self explainable.

thanks for the reply bro. I think i can skip some items.

- skip KB/M and speaker.
- processor i3 (will i3 bottleneck gtx770?)
- ram 4gb
- skip dvd rom

the only item that I want is the gtx 770, but i can also consider other cards that performs as a good as gtx770. ( maybe amd cards? i dunno)

Try hunt for 2nd hand gpu, you can find used 770 in the garage sales but they are a bit of a hot commodity so yeah be quick if you want one. Your best bet isdefinitely with the used r9-280x or if you're lucky an r9-290 . I have used both amd and nvidia gpus. So far both brands perform well except in some games like AC3 which sees the nvidia edge ahead a bit due to txaa but that game is very unoptimised. Power consumption wise , in my view nvidia is slighly more efficient but if you're getting a decent 600-700w psu, u dont have to worry about it.

Hi guys!

thanks bro. i'll consider getting a r9-280x if my current budget really not enough to build the 770 rig. but if there is any way to sumbat2 lowest posibble item into my rig (as long as i get the gtx770), please let me know.

Looking for PC to run interior design software like AutoCAD, SketchUp which are CPU hungry.

Please recommend me the hardware, budget 5k and less.

Thanks in advance!

Some overpriced items there. It can easily go over your budget.

Performance RAM doesn't give you a big boost. Get better CPU instead. 4930K is slightly slower than 4960X

If you are not going to SLI, 750W is already more than enough.

There.Later on,when you've more money,get 1 more stick of 4GB Corsair Value Ram DDR3 1600Mhz..
And an SSD...

Thanks to all for the help. Really appreciate it. Just wondering is it possible to find a mini itx mobo and chassis for these?

Hi~ Thank you very much!
is this 4930k worth my money compared with the 4790k ? Can you explain abit on it ?

ps: M6 Pro just arrived lowyat at 585

Bro,
For running 24/7 and OC to 4.2, rendering video, which one better and cost effective?
1. Hyper 212X vs Noctua NH-D14 vs Noctua NH-D15?
2. Corsair Carbide 300R vs CM Storm Scout 2?

Does Leadtek GTX770 4GB DDR5 needs 2 x 8-pin power connector and will the SeaSonic M12II 620W PSU have the 2 x 8-pin power connector? rav3n82

If not mistaken, they are using 8-pin and 6-pin. Can refer below, the PNY card is similar with Leadtek. Seasonic only have one 8-pin and 6-pin, just nice for you. Else, you need a cable adapter, as I replied a forumer few posts back.

You will have to go mainstream route if you want ITX. No one sells M-ATX or ITX for X79 setup.

The work you are doing favors more CPU cores. I already posted the benchmarks on my previous reply. Is additional 2 core with HT and 8 RAM slots with quad channel worth the money for you?

RM585 for 256GB is worth the money. Go for that instead.

This setup is more into mainstream and gaming. You have Intel Quick Sync support as well.

Definitely Noctua is better for 24/7 overclocked setup.

I didn't research much on the casing. Just buy whatever you like.

There's actually a microATX X79 board:
