Hello guys, i need opinion about non-oc rig below :

CPU - Intel i7 4790 @ 959
MOBO - Gigabyte h97-hd3 @ 359
GC - <can't decide yet, gtx760 or 770>
RAM - Kingston value ram 8gb @ 244
SSD - Kingston v300 240gb @ 419
HDD - WD blue 1tb @ 174
CASING - CM Storm Scout II BLK @ 309
PSU - Seasonic S Gold 650W @ 409
ODD - any DVD-RW @ 59

*all prices are from Viewnet

Total - RM2932 WITHOUT GRAPHIC CARD

is the spec above OK? or any changes to make it better? my budget for rig ONLY is around RM4k.

btw im nt sure whether to choose gtx760 or 770 as my graphic card.
please give me some comment on both of it because the price diff are around RM400 like tat and im nt sure whether gtx770 worth the price or not.
and i also want to know which brand for these graphic cards is the best <i prefer more silent one>

thank you

i use it for 3D software like autocad, solidwork etc for my assignment. otherwise i use it for gaming.
does xeon has hyper threading?

i use it for 3d software for my assignment. otherwise gaming and normal usage.

i prefer system smoothness so i want a ssd that is enough for all programs in it and i feel 120gb is nt enough

i can cut cost for my graphic card as long as it can let me play games in high setting for 3 to 5 yrs and i would like to gv a try to nvidia since i have a bad time with my laptop amd card

so the performance will be same without iGPU?

but the new i7 4790 has 3.6GHz and up to 4.0GHz compared to Xeon E3 1230 v3 3.3GHz up to 3.7GHz

and i7 cost RM160 more than xeon e3 1230 v3. nt sure is it worth or not.

i think i would stick with 240gb ssd in case of anything, haha

then i wan to ask is thr any xeon proc in lowyat other than xeon e3 1230 v3? i din see any others in the price list.
if yes i might go for a better 1

then do you know how many casing fans needed for maintaining temperature around max 60'C?

i am planning 1 200mm fan at top, 2x 120mm fans at front and 1 120mm fan at rear for bitfenix raider casing : http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products...raider#overview

is that enough?

hi guys i just purchased my new desktop recently.

i noticed my i7 processor temp is around 45~50'C in normal usage and in gaming mode it can hit 70'C.

i do not OC it and using stock fan

is this temperature too high for a processor?

guys pls help me out, i think there are some problem with my cpu stock fan or whatever.

during stress test, my processor ran up to 98'C in seconds! from what is saw online, this temperature is too high!

what could be wrong? pls help!

i just bought it not even 1 months.. idle is around 55'C.. nt sure what happened?

my casing has 2x 120mm front intake fan, 1x 120mm rear exhaust fan and 1x 200mm top exhaust fan.
i think thr is no problem with the surrounding since my graphic card is able to run at 40'C idle and max 70'C on gaming.

and also even i set cpu fan to 100% the temp like no decrease oso. i checked online n my cpu fan is installed correctly.
