is there any case with
-good airflow
-can fit hyper 212x a
and also fit a r9 270x toxic

budget rm150

CM K380 / Bitfenix Comrade.

Thanks for this bro

for the CM 380 it says

CPU cooler height: 155mm / 6.1 inch

while
hyper 212x
4.7 x 3.1 x 6.2 inch

can fit ?

IIRC, someone asked a similar question before and I believe it can fit just fine. However, you can PM one of our sellers in Garage Sales (zhen^wei), their shop assemble lots of CM K380 rigs. They can better confirm for you.

Sell your i7 4770k and grab i7 4790k if it's official..

No point. The only reason why I even bought the 4770K was because my friend bundled it with the 290X. Got it cheap for 800+ or so for a fairly new unit. Otherwise for gaming I could've gotten a 4670 and a cheap mobo and focus on GPUs hahah.

Not bad.

May i know how much is the total price is:

Intel Xeon E3 1230 S1150 V3
Asrock B85M
Corsair D3 PC1600 8GB
WD Blue 1TB
PLEXTOR M5S 128G
Nvidia GTX 760
Asus 24x DVD Writer
Seasonic 620W S12II
carbride spec 3

My budget is 3k-3.5k, see whether it overpriced or not?

Btw,ask him if he still have the Watch Dogs bundle with the GPU above.. and the ODD,i can't find it in his threads.If the ODD isn't available,get it from Viewnet@LYP.

Watch dogs and future games.

Erm...,why i5 instead of xeon e3?? , izzit xeon e3 not suitable for gaming??

Base on my knowledge, both I5 and xeon e3 is suitable for gaming~ and performance = xeon e3 > I5.
But for gaming I5 is good enough. So, spend money for better graphic card > spend money for better cpu (for gaming).
Correct me if wrong~

Lol Xeon E3-1230 V3 has 4 more threads than an i5.
Xeon E3-1230 V3 : 4 Cores and 8 Threads
Core 5 : 4 Cores and 4 Threads

The extra amount of threads helps in rendering/editing stuffs like AutoCAD,Adobe Apps etc.I think future games are gonna utilize more than 4 cores i think..

Since you're playing Watch Dogs,you can drop the SSD and get Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 RM799 instead.You can get an SSD later on.

How about the fx 8350? It have more core then xeon and i5.

Having more cores does not mean better performance, especially if your single core works slower then another compatible chip.

PLUS, The problem is cores scale nowhere near 100% for gaming either. So a 8 core chip would not give you a direct advantage on that front either when it's single core performance is already slower than that of a Intel chip.

Example - ARMA 3 core loading on an 8-core AMD CPU:-
http://gamegpu.ru/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/ARMA%2...

vs an Intel 4-core CPU:-
http://gamegpu.ru/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/ARMA%2...

Although 8 cores are being used, half are only used as little as 8% per core. On the 4-core Intel it isn't slower because it just means the cores loaded at 8% mean the difference between a 60% loaded core vs a 52% loaded core. It still isn't CPU bottlenecked. This is typical of many games - load 1-2 cores at 80-90% and the others often under 20% due to threading limitations.

Outside of very easily paralleled stuff (eg, video editing), even the most heavily optimised games (eg, Crysis 3) show only 50% difference between a 2C vs 4C but less than 10% 4C vs 8C AMD or 4C vs 6C Intel:-
http://www.techspot.com/review/642-crysis-3-performance...

New games engines may well be written for the new consoles with 8 cores, but each of those 8 cores runs at only half the speed of PC's - 1.75GHz for XBone & 2.0GHz for PS4. 4C->8C also doesn't scale anywhere near the 50% boost seen on some 2C->4C games.

Cross-platform games engines will also continue to be written for the "Lowest Common Denominator" (ie, consoles). You simply aren't going to see a "designed for 4GHz FX-8350 with all 8-cores maxed out" engine, because the same ported engine simply wouldn't run on an 1.75-2.0GHz PS4 or XB1 (whose CPU is only half the speed of desktop PC's even without 1-2 cores being held in reserve for background tasks).

Edit : It's also not a given that next-gen games will be coded for all 8 cores on consoles:-

Even with 8 cores, a number of next-gen games so far are either 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps (Killzone Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4, etc). Part of that may be due to the GPU, but part may also be that CPU thread scaling isn't efficient enough to make up 30 vs 60fps difference, so it gets pegged at 30fps to avoid screen tearing / more consistent fps on consoles.

Also, the 8350 is quite power consuming.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/11/0...x-8350-review/7

Budget: Maximum RM4000

Purpose: Architectural studies

Hardwares that will be re-use: None

Monitor resolution: Full HD IPS

Games & softwares: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Battlefield 4, Call Of Duty: Ghost

Personal preferences: Intel + Nvidia build and I'm not going to overclock it.
