Yes, will try to overclock. But wont overclock to the extreme.
Do I need a very good and expensive motherboard for that?
*
Nope. Asrock Z97 Anniversary at RM399 should be good enough.

As for the monitor, try looking for Dell E2414H at RM569.

Thank you TristanX. biggrin.gif

Does it matter if Dell E2414H does not HDMI connectivity?

Are you referring to this Asrock Z97 Anniversary?
http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/review-asro...c-stripped-bone

The review does not seem to be good.  sad.gif

Nope. DVI is fine at 1080p.

Yeah, the rest of the Z97 motherboards are RM430+. Gigabyte Z97X-SLI is at RM469.

thanks.i asked idealtech and got this as response. they just changed a little bit. still within my budget. it is still good right?

CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 RM625
MOBO: Asrock B85M HDS RM234
RAM: Avexir 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz White LED RM299
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue RM189
Chasis: Thermaltake Versa H23 RM129
GPU: Leadtek GTX970 DDR5 4GB RM1399 (promo)
SSD: Plextor M6S 128GB (FREE , promo)
PSU: FSP Hexa 550w RM165
*
Heh, Leadtek promo still on for Idealtech. Don't need to think, go for it.

As for the RAM, go for Gskill Aegis 8GB x1. It is RM249. Photoshop CC is RAM hungry, you might need that free slot for another 8GB in the future.

Corsair VS 550W is better than FSP Hexa+ 550W. If you can raise another RM100, Seasonic M12 II Evo 520W is even better.

Is Leadtek GTX970 better than Gainward Hurricane (if does not take the promo into consideration)?
*
Gainward is better due to higher overclock but it is a bigger card. Leadtek can even fit Coolermaster Elite 110 case.

Anyone have any idea or any way to built a desktop that compact as Alienware x51,yet the spec is better than x51 at ard 3k budget?or do u guys think that x51 is a good deal?
*
Alienware X51:
http://www.dell.com/my/p/alienware-x51-r2/pd

That is tough to build unless you can find someone selling Silverstone ML07 and RVZ01 case
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=503

RVZ01:
http://www.silverstonetek.com/raven/produc...l=RVZ01&area=en

You can find people selling Silverstone SG05 Lite though
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=413&area=en

Any desktop GPU that is GTX750 or R7 260X already blows GTX745 away.

QUOTE(encikapat @ Jan 6 2015, 05:08 PM)
Hi guys,
Year ago i came here to ask for recommendation and now i came again.
For the last build, it is for a gaming purpose and now i need a recommendation for rendering(Lumion) rig for my sister.

I had another computer which i think is old enough.
Do guys think that i can upgrade the computer to support the software.?

- Core 2 Quad CPU
- LGA775 socket motherboard.
- 4GB of DDR2 RAM
- GPU ( i dont remember,sorry)

If not, proceed with new build.

[Budget]
RM 2k if possible.

[Purpose]
Surfing websites, rendering image.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Monitor.

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Lumion, Photoshop.

[Personal preferences]
Small form factor.
Thanks in advance !  icon_rolleyes.gif

-Edited-
*
Looks like Lumion needs graphic card updates.
http://lumion3d.com/products/

You can try changing it to Leadtek GTX970 4GB DDR5 at RM1299 plus Seasonic M12 II Evo 520W power supply at RM279 and see how it goes.

That is the first step of ITX since Leadtek is only 8.11" long. Next phase, change to these

Xeon E3-1231 V3 - RM829
Asrock H97M-ITX/ac motherboard - RM349
Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM249
Coolermaster Elite 110 case - RM139

QUOTE(KissThaMoon @ Jan 6 2015, 05:30 PM)
Hi, currently in my mind as below:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k 4GHz RM1159
MOBO: Asrock Z97 Extreme4 RM579 or Z97X Fatal!ty KILLER RM599 or Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 motherboard - RM559?
SSD: Intel 530 240GB SSD - RM 479
HDD: WD Blue (WD10EZEX) - RM 189
RAM: Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM244
ODD: REUSE PIONEER DWD-RW
CHASIS: ??
PSU: Seasonic X-650 RM529 / Seasonic M12 II Evo 620W power supply - RM359
LCD: REUSE DELL U2312HM
COOLER: Coolermaster Hyper 212X - RM149
GPU: GTX970

a) Which motherboard is preferrable? Why?
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 is already good enough

b) Do i need to get those like GSkill Ram or other?
Nope, RAM speed does not increase performance that you will notice

c) Do i need the Seasonic X-650 instead of Seasonic M12 II Evo 620W?
X-650 is Tier 1 which has higher quality parts inside. You get what you pay for.

d) Is Coolermaster Hyper 212X silent enough and support if i overclock?
Silence is very dependant on fan and your other parts as well. Also, you get what you pay for.

e) Can recommend me a chasis? Prefer to be solid and silent.
Try Corsair Spec 02 or 03 at around RM220.

f) Do i need fans for extra cooling? If yes, what to add, as mentioned, prefer to be silent.
You have to experiment at stock casing fans before you start increasing the fans.

Yeah, go for it.

QUOTE(IversonAng @ Jan 6 2015, 05:45 PM)
So Tristan do u think that the x51 is a good deal?i will take the cheapest one since my budget is only ard 3k,and one more thing izit possible to upgrade anything in the future if I'm buying Alienware x51?
*
Nope, you can get better. The issue is the cases that has the size close to X51 is not available here yet.

Branded PC upgradeability is always limited. The PSU of that X51 is disappointing.

You don't need overpriced motherboard for non-OC CPU. Asrock H97 Pro4 at RM329 is already more than enough.

I need some advice if the spec below will be suitable for daily usage (FHD movie, Dota 2, overclock) and it's also within 4k budget

WD 1TB Caviar Blue
Sapphire R7 265 2GB DDR5 Dual-X
Seasonic S12 II 620W
Phantom White 410
Liteon 24x DVDRW
Silverstone TD03

Is the GC good enough or there's other better card? What about the monitor?

But I found an asus X79-DELUXE on lelong with should work for 1240rm. Can you guys recommend me anything that  I can hopefully buy online?

Old parts are hard to find. Either you buy online or look for second hand.

Hi TristanX,

With the above rig specs, how long do you think i can use it until any upgrade required?
Also, would you suggest windows 7 or 8? I have completely no idea which os would be better.

Easily 3 years. More than that is hard to tell.

Win7 is not recommended because Microsoft is ending the support for it.
