Corsair and Kingston Value RAM are same, no performance difference between them. You can choose Kingston by topping up RM5.

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
Prices are from IdealTech.

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

1 more thing does the MotherBoard that sifus suggest comes with built in wifi cause i may need one. tyvm

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

Guys, can recommend me rig worth rm2k? Just rig

Usage first?

Mainly for gaming purpose and watching movies.

Theres one more thing thats bugging me. Do you suggest intel i5 4690k or intel xeon e3-1231 v3 .
Whats the difference. TYVM

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 719
Asrock H81M-VG4 - RM 189
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 119
Sapphire R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 GPU - RM 459
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 199
FSP Hexa+ 550W PSU - RM 159
Thermaltake Versa H25 - RM 139

Total: RM 1983 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Of course the xeon,
it is more economical to get that as the i5 K nid xtra juice n stable mobo to OC,
next gen gaming already start to utlise multi thread which xeon have more,

xeon is an i7 without iGPU with slight lower clock

Of course the xeon, xeon has hyperthreading technology and will definitely help in future upcoming games as more games are utilizing the extra threads. Xeon build will also be cheaper since you do not have to spend another RM 200 for z series mobo and stock cooler will run fine too on xeon so you don't have to spend more to get an aftermarket cooler.

Can you guys explain to me about hyperthreading and multithread. I read up about the 4690k, Is it better than xeon if its overclocked?

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.

Want to build a rig for gaming and some 3ds Max. After some research, below are the spec :

Option 1 :
Cpu: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz 979 Viewnet
Motherboard: Asrock B85M-HDS 239 Jayacom
Gpu: Palit GTX960 819 Jayacom
Ram: Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 220 Jayacom
Hard disk: WD Caviar Blue 1TB 183 Jayacom
Psu: FSP Hexa 550w 199 Viewnet
Casing: Thermaltake Versa H25 139 Jayacom

Total : 2778

Option 2:
Cpu: Core i5-4460 638 Jayacom
Motherboard: Asrock B85M-HDS 239 Jayacom
Gpu: Zotac GTX970 4GB DDR5 1271 Cycom
Ram: Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 220 Jayacom
Hard disk: WD Caviar Blue 1TB 183 Jayacom
Psu: FSP Hexa 550w 199 Viewnet
Casing: Thermaltake Versa H25 139 Jayacom

Total : 2889

Option 1 or 2 is better? Need advice, thanks .

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

hi, what GC is recommended for GC that is one step lower than the recommended GTX970?

Budget wise looking <1K. TQ

Would AMD card work for you? Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X, RM929 from Viewnet.

hmm, AMD card not a preference for me..

Thanks though

Then your best bet is GTX 960. All are within your budget range. I would personally recommend Asus GTX 960 Strix OC, RM929 though.

Alright noted... after comparing, looks like a used 970 would be better value for money , and double the memory size also.
will try looking for one
