How big a deal is OC-ing? Heard new nvidia line up, new intel chips and ASUS unlocking h97 (I think). Does that mean I should go for a 4670k to make it more worthwhile?
And also, is it possible to build a 4k rig for gaming with a 770 or a 280x inclusive of a monitor? And last question does anyone know if I can buy a copy of Windows 7 at a discount if I have a .edu email? |

QUOTE(TheHitman47 @ Jun 23 2014, 04:42 PM) i dont know it was case sensitive. haha. I should have clarified it was a 4k budget. But again, is it still possible? Rm 4k budget inclusive of a monitor and prefably a 770 or 280x. Mainly for gaming, of course, and perhaps learning programming.ohhhhh that guy meant 4k worth of rig, i thought 4k reso.   The question about the discount is because a friend in SG managed to get it directly from microsoft. He claimed as long as your email has a edu, you qualify. Wanted to confirm before I made a food of myself. So, OC, for the usual person, not that important? This post has been edited by xKeneshirox: Jun 23 2014, 04:44 PM |

Thanks for the info. I'll try asking their customer support and see if I can get the discount. Maybe even snag a cheap Microsoft Office
 QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Jun 23 2014, 05:50 PM) Non-OC build..possible. Hmm... Do you think it will be a good idea to go for i5 4670? I'm gonna hopefully save on cutting out the driver and getting a discount on the OS  I haven't heard of that discount thinggy majiggy before.. What do you mean by "usual person"? Btw 4K gaming rig with OS+Monitor CPU:Intel Core i5 4460 3.2Ghz RM599 Mobo:Asrock H97-Pro4 RM329 GPU:Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 RM1255 Ram:Corsair Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM244 HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM174 PSU:Seasonic M12II 80+ Bronze 620W Modular RM359 Casing:Corsair Carbide Spec-03 Red LED Fan RM205 ODD:Liteon 24x DVDRW RM59 OS:Windows 8 64Bit RM309 Monitor:LG 23EA53V 23' RM480 Total:RM4013 CPU,Mobo,GPU and Casing are from Lingloong@GS,Monitor is from Hoodidi@GS,the rest are from Viewnet@LYP. There..  By usual, I guess I mean someone who just enjoys gaming but not really interested in learning about OC. I was concerned that I would be CPU bound in the future. Thanks for the information! |

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Jun 23 2014, 09:20 PM) IMHO,going just for .2GHz increase for about RM100-110 more isn't worth it TBH. If the person wants to OC,then the person needs a i5 4690k/4670k or the i7 4790k/4770k,Z97/87 motherboard and a good third party cooler. CPU bound?Huh? KSP as well.. especially when you start building sillier space stations. Unfortunately, the main games I play for now tend to be a bit more CPU heavy. |
