Thanks and appreciate =)

I suggest u wait for the next gen Intel e-haswell processors..and the new motherboards too

I really wish to wait but I have no choice because my pc already dead..LOL

Think bro,
By the time that new processors and motherboard released, this current gen processors will become obsolete and price will reduce..

Anyways, if u have no choice and cant wait, then just carry on la, ur current spec is good enough unless other members has something better to offer

Yes, wait for new one

Haswell-E is not for mainstream, it's high end. The cheapest motherboard alone already at least RM800 and I don't expect DDR4 to come cheap.

The price for mainstream parts won't change.

You can get better spec, and better aesthetics on custom rig for the same price comparing with Alienware. Alienware is overpriced crap.

I would suggest going with i7-4790K if you are playing BF4 large multiplayer maps. There are also a few games that demands more CPU power.

I did say dell dfo......

dfo, not DFO. People sees it as typing error rather than some sort of abbreviation.

yaka. haha

For under RM300 , it's one of the better psu you can get at that price. I can vouch for it as my friend is using the model and his experience of using it is excellent , super quiet under load, it's non modular but he preferred it that way . Overall its a good psu. Plus the built quality from Seasonic is always excellent

Total - RM 5,254.00

Pretty overkill for 1080p. Still suggest getting i7 instead.

will this set up can get games like bf4 on 2560x1440?

GTX 780 should be able to handle BF4 fine on 1440p.

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/power..._review,14.html

Roughly around 40+ fps so it will be pointless too if partnered with ROG Swift Monitor.. I think must have atleast 120FPs
By the way Sorry if I tumpang the thread..

There are reports large multiplayer maps adds CPU requirements as well. i7 is inevitable.

alternatively can use xeon right? budget wise.

Not for certain demanding games.

LOL...you want 120 FPS and expect a single GTX 780 to churn that out for you? Try your luck on 2x GTX 780 Ti, even so it might not be able to consistently giving you that much frame rate also.

Yes, you can.

LOL I was thinking if partnering with the new ROG Swift monitor w/ G-Sync and dreaming it could possible happen..

Best choice for now is just stick with normal 2560x1440 monitor if single gtx 780 card..

vs Larkooler Skywater 330L Liquid Cooling?
or any better air cool for i7-4790K OC to 4.2 & 24/7 operation?

Me sked liq cooling have many maintenance & problem and rig kenot afford downtime for more than 5 days.

Water cooling maintenance about every 6 months downtime can be a day? Depends if you do it yourself
If you get a shop to do it for you then depends on their schedule?

Go for maintenance free water cooler then. Thermaltake Water 3.0 Pro or more expensive ones.

TPC-812 original price is around RM269 I think. Noctua NH-D14 is still better than TPC-812.

Thank for the affirmation on Noctua NH-D14.

Time to go for the newer NH-D15.

& too big and not every shop in Malaysia carries it.

i'm playing BF4 on i5 4k series (cant remember specific) with MSI gtx 780. i have no problem in large maps. FPS nvr drop below 60 (1920 x 1080 single monitor). My previous GC (GTX 560 TI) also can tahan BF4 but around average 50-55 FPS (40+ when kena explosion all around)

I think the dimensions should roughly be the same no? Can PM hikari85, she does carry it if not mistaken.

Thanks so much for your suggestion. I have a question, do liquid cooling is necessary for overclocking CPU? or any other cooler that suitable for overcloking CPU?

extreme OC =yes and i recommend use Liquid Cooler if want to OC/unless good CpuFan cooler link problem with custom Fan is the size and make sure Casing have good air Flow good luck oh im not expert in OC just minor OC boleh lah..

still so headache of building a desktop but its interesting but without enough budget not interesting d~hahaha
if building the desktop for the budget RM 5300-5400 with i7 4790k and GTX 780 seems like quite impossible huh~and of cos with a IPS monitor~lol
