It is enough using 2GB ram only?
because Dota 2 requirement is at least 4GB ram

Did you read what he wants? D2 is Diablo 2 btw. Some old games.

Can squeeze 4GB RAM if he can afford another RM55 more or he got old DVD drive.

Is this spec possible for Overclock ?

Not possible for processor. If you wanna over clock you need to find unlocked processor like i5 4690k

...and a Z97 board, as well as a good third party cooler for dissipating the heat generated by the overclocked CPU.

PC Depot hardware selection is so limited. How about these?

Core i7-4790 - RM998
Gigabyte Z97-HD3 motherboard - RM439
Kingston 8GB KVR1600 x2 - RM540
Intel 530 120GB SSD - RM313
WD Red 2TB hard disk - RM349
<Reuse your DVD drive>
Aerocool Strike-X 500W power supply (OEM is Andyson) - RM180
Additional Coolermaster 12cm silent fan - RM25
Thermaltake V3 black case - RM160

RM3004

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

One of the buyer's testament for Idealtech:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3311606/+20

Core i7-4790 - RM945
Asus H97-PLUS motherboard - RM379
Kingston 8GB KVR1600 x2 - RM500 (estimated)
Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 128GB SSD - RM319
WD Red 2TB hard disk - RM329
<Reuse your DVD drive>
Antec Platinum 450W power supply (80Plus Platinum) - RM339
Additional 12cm fan - RM25
NZXT Source 210 case - RM179

RM3015 total

They sell Antec power supply as well.

I don't see value RAM on their price list but I think they should have it. Please also take note they might recommend you to go performance RAM. Just ignore them and go for regular RAM. You don't get big boost of performance out of it.

Xeon is a server processor. It has the performance of i7 with slightly lower speed and doesn't come with built-in graphics.

Green is for storage, blue is for normal use, red and purple is optimized for heavy use and black is the highest grade.

Great info you got there. Thank you so much. No wonder most people go for Xeon.
No idea how to OC, don't want to fried up my own Company PC.

Just realized that you didn't recommend me a GPU. So does the build-in graphic on the Core i7 enough for it?

Yes. You can even add Nvidia graphic card later for even more performance boost.

I would recommend taking 550W power supply just in case though. It's RM30 more money for Antec Platinum 550W.

Do you need Windows?

This post has been edited by TristanX: Aug 12 2014, 01:46 PM

If add-in Nvidia Graphic Card, I need top-up how much? What are the price range, does brand matter?
No problem with another RM30 top up for more power PSU.

I don't need Genuine Windows as I know how to DIY. Can save that RM400 something else for better hardware.

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