800 series currently being delayed and delayed. Nothing solids on the 800 series date launch. If you want to play now buy now. If you'd like to wait 7-10 months more you can. But what's the point later if the price on drop about RM 20-30 only whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif

3 Generations late already. What kind of games do he likes to play? With 760 you can play on high-ultra on most games at 1080p. Some games like Crysis maybe need to tone the MSAA to get the suitable FPS.

Very cheapo one and he likes to play those high end game? Crysis,Witcher 2 both of this game he play at 1600x900 reso on his 23inch monitor sweat.gif

Looks like he will be getting one end of this month

Thank you Sifu notworthy.gif

Sorry took a long response cause internet slowpoke. Right from what I've read in the negative review only about 2-3 caught on fire. So chances of you, your card go on fire is low. This is electronic product we're talking about. Some are good when it arrived and some are bad. Unless the whole review section filled with negatives then safe to sure that card isn't safe anymore. Also by end of this month [ July? ] why not just wait. Only a day or two till they restock the Hawk edition.

sorry not end of this month.

End of August cry.gif

I've owned the Asus GTX 760 DCUII OC before and it is one of the finest 760 out there in the market. The idle and load temps are nothing short of amazing compared to the reference solution. Nothing to worry about unnecessarily. The only difference this card would have compared to the MSI HAWK is the lower clock speed, but you can always manually tweak it yourself.
*
Sifu the lower clock speed affect my gaming experience? will i see a lot of difference or its just nothing much?

and after browsing and reading
760/770

Should i also jz get a 770 like our bro here? sweat.gif

For GTX 760, the difference is quite minimal. I did a review before comparing the Asus 760 with the Zotac 760 AMP! Edition (it has the same core clock speed as HAWK).

www.tech-critter.com/2013/10/asus-gtx-760-directcu-ii-oc-review.html?m=1

GTX 770 is definitely faster. If you can afford it, then the GTX 770 is clearly the better card here.

Seasonic S12II-620 620W 80Plus Bronze

I squeezed a SSD in since your budget still allows for one. It won't increase your performance when gaming, but it may improve level loading times, improve OS booting time, and opening/reading files becomes significantly faster as well. In short, running everything on a SSD based system would feel snappier on the overall.

The Hyper 212X should be able to sustain any mild OC, and should fit the G3258 just fine.

Yes, it is the 2GB reference version.
Actually the Striker GTX 760 is nothing more than a very exclusive GTX 760 with 4GB VRAM. I would go for the GTX 770 instead. Why don't you consider other brands? Asus' version is quite pricy. You can consider Leadtek, MSI or even Zotac AMP! Edition. wink.gif

Thank you boss.

I think i will just wait for 770.

I did consider other brand but no stock sadly.Btw the 770 good brand for performance would be 770 lightning right?

If you want to SLI you can go on ahead. But as far as I know 600w is the sweet spot for most gamers.
PS and hardcore OC-ing
Dude you should've bought Windows Key lor. Around RM 50 for those. Anyhow be sure to post drills of the rig later whistling.gif

Just check they dont have M12 and since i only use one card and i only might gonna oc the GPU

Thermaltake Smart SE 630W 80Plus Bronze

No issues. The PSU usually comes with 6 + 2 (2 pieces), so you just need to connect (6 + 2) + (6) to the GPU. The 6 + 2 is linked, you don't have to connect the extra 2 pins if your GOU doesn't need it.

The shop telling me got issues and tell me to get one of these 3 how sifu? rclxub.gif

Seasonic M12II-750 750W 80Plus Bronze Modular
Thermaltake Smart SE 630W 80Plus Bronze
XIGMATEK Vector S650 80Plus Silver

If take Seasonic i need to pay another extra rm100,if take Thermal or XIGMA no issue.

Any other 600W brands available? I am not familiar with the Smart SE and Vector, so couldn't really recommend on that.

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. doh.gif Not sure why they say need use 2 x 8 pin.if someone can clarify would be great
