Mis-calculate...

How is GTA V poorly optimized?IMO,they optimized it well for the PC version compared to GTA IV,in which PC port sucks.

This is at 2560x1600,but if at 1080p,surely higher FPS.My prediction would be 50-60FPS for GTX970.

Beats the GTX960.

It'll be really risky.Get at least a good quality 600W and above PSU,like Seasonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze RM319.

There is actually,the R9 285.

If only the rig.

Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM676.28
Asrock H81M-VG4 RM178.08
Sapphire R7 265 Dual-X OC 2GB GDDR5 RM581.94
Corsair Value RAM 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RM124

Thermaltake Versa H25 RM135
Total:RM2093.30

Can cut cost by going with FSP Hexa+ 450W RM159 Palit GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 RM567.10.I assume that's the StormX Dual or the StormX OC.

But using FSP Hexa+ 550W to power one of those isn't recommended yo.

4690k isn't an i7..it's an i5.

Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz RM954

Are you gonna overclock? Cause then,i'd only suggest going with i7 4790K,in which you'll have to sacrifice SSD and a stick of 8GB RAM.Since games are taking advantage of more cores and threads,rather go with an i7 4790K if you're gonna overclock or Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 or an i7 4790.

I bought my rig from them,service is nice. The prices there are slightly expensive though.

Make sure you get similar with what i suggested,albeit with 8GB GSkill Aegis 8GB 1600MHz and no SSD if you decide to get from them.

Just noticed you need an OS.

Lemme edit the build.

Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz RM945
Asrock B85M-HDS RM269
Palit GTX980 Jetstream 4GB GDDR5 RM2299
GSkill Aegis 1x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM229
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM209
Seasonic M12II Evo 520W 80+ Bronze Fully Modular RM329
Thermaltake Versa H25 RM135
CM Hyper TX3 Evo RM95
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit RM200
Total:RM4730

Over budget,can cut cost by going with i5 4460 3.2GHz RM689 or haggle them for more discounts.

Nope.It doesn't.Just get a Wi-Fi USB Adapter..TP-Link TL-WN727N RM15.

Usage first?

Here.


Still no better IMO.Although some people prefer to overclock,it's advisable to get a Xeon even though it's locked or i7 4790K for RM400-500 more.Games are taking advantage of more cores/threads.

Since you're doing 3DS Max too,option 1 is better.

If you're gaming on 1080p and below,GTX970 is the best bang for buck option,at the moment.It has the 3.5GB vRAM issue,in which games that uses a lot of vRAM,once reaches the 3.5GB mark,will cause stutters IINM.

Before GST,i'll go for dual GTX970s over a single GTX980 for 1080p.But since the prices are different now,i'll get GTX980.

I'd take Asus Z97-Pro Gamer RM662.50 for overclocking.

Yeah,it'll be enough.

Let me get you prices that are cheaper on some parts.And also,better Motherboard.And one more thing,the price of the GPU from GBros isn't updated for GST...

Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz RM1270.94
Asus Z97-Pro Gamer RM662.50
Zotac GTX970 Reference 4GB GDDR5 RM1271
Corsair Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz x2 = 16GB RM446
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM199
Seagate Barracuda 2TB RM299
Seasonic S12G 80+ Gold 750W RM529
Corsair Carbide Spec-03 RM219.42
CM Hyper 212X RM168.54
Dell S2415H RM730 - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2787186&hl=
Total:RM5795.40
Prices with cents are from Jayacom@LYP,GPU is from Cycom@LYP,Monitor is from the user in the link above and the rest are from Viewnet@LYP.

Costs RM20.40 more but better motherboard. I've no idea where did you get the price of CM Seidon 120V priced at RM179,couldn't find it on C-Zone's pricelist...

Look at this list.Take a look where Asus Z97-Pro Gamer and MSI Z97-SLI Krait sit.For overclocking,former is better.

That is up to you. Are you building a new rig?

Budget and usage? Any hardwares gonna be re-used?

Personally,i'd get a casing first.Why would you get other parts but then no casing. Again,that's up to you.
