And Streamyx.

Dear Sifus,

May i know Asrock H97 Pro4 and Asus H97-PRO GAMER which is better? As Asrock H97 Pro4 sold out on the shop that i wish to buy from. I need to wait about 2-3 weeks. Or, any suggestion on the motherboard that I can use with GTX 970.

Thank you.

Didn't notice that 

Refinement to Intel + AMD build
Intel Xeon E3 1231 V3 - RM 979
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI - RM 559
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 234
MSI R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 Lightning GPU - RM 1379
CM V1000 PSU - RM 799
Kingston V300 480GB SSD - RM 749
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 199
Thermaltake Versa H25 Chassis - RM 139

Total: RM 5037 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

He want a CF ready build 

they are both perform the same, so why pay more right.
anyway which shop?, if u dont mind buying online theres others option like Idealtech, Viewtech and Etech PC.
bare in mind that they will try to change your suggestion.
just stick with it if they got the item, if sold out..maybe then u can follow their suggestion.

Purpose: Gaming/Programming
Budget: Around 4k
Processor: i5-4690k or Xeon E3-1231 V3, I see many sifus here recommend Xeon E3-1231 V3, but a friend told me that Xeons have a more cores but a lower clock per core, in most games less cores but higher clocks is more beneficial, which to go?
must also include a monitor, the size of the monitor shouldn't be big(21.5" perhaps?)
Please recommend rig first, because I'm quite unfamiliar to monitor sizes and need to do a bit of research, since I've never had a PC.

Hi Bro
my current rig is spoilt. It's time for major upgrade

looking to build a SFF matx gaming/multipurpose rig with RM3k budget with below components.

Core i5-4460
Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1
Seasonic M12II Evo 520W 80+ Bronze Fully Modular
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
SG09 case
Asrock matx mobo?
GTX970?

some of my question,

does Seasonic M12II Evo 520W PSU enuf for a 970?
Could SG09 fit and run a 970 without any problem?
any reliable brand that is <1200 for a 970?

Thank in advance

Can I take out the SSD out of the equation for now and invest in a 970? also should I invest in 80+ Gold PSU for efficiency over long time and quality? For ODD, any recommendations?

Is Gold rated not worth the price in long run?

Thanks for the recommendation, should I just go to lowyat and buy these pieces from different shops? or are there specific shops that might even give me discount if I buy all from them?(sry first time building rig total newbie) and I recall Gainward GTX 970 being cheaper than Leadtek, is it out of stock atm? or should I order the Leadtek Hurricane from lelong? I'm probably going to build it next week or two depending on when I get free time to go to lowyat to get rest of parts.

16GB RAM is quite overkill for just gaming.

Intel Core i5 4460 - RM 719
Asrock B85M-HDS - RM 264
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM x2 - RM 468
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 199
Seasonic M12II Evo 520W PSU - RM 299

Total: RM 1949 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

If you go for 8GB RAM then the following build is better.

Intel Xeon E3 1231 V3 - RM 979
Asrock B85M-HDS - RM 264
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 234
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 199
Seasonic M12II Evo 520W PSU - RM 299

Total: RM 1975 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Thx sifu 

Psst, he already have R7 260X.

dear sifu this spec can play dota2?and this spec worth the price?

brand new..it mean i bought expensive?

i7 4790
mobo not sure
case not sure
16gb 1600mhz ram
palit 770 4gb

2.5k exclude monitor

2nd hand

a good buy?

i will.. ask the seller.

is there any possibility he can fake the software output as different spec

Meaning that the Asus GTX750 will work juz fine like leadtek GTX750 ti or Gainward GTX 750 GS? Just that the Asus GTX750 is slightly overpriced?

Sorry to budge in, but actually i asked on behalf of him dy, and he is my gf's younger bro which is not computer illiterate, same like me.

what if the momboard change to the one which can 4slot ram and crossfire? how many money i should add in?

Well well, IINM, the cheapest SLI (or Crossfire) mobo is Gigabyte's Z97 SLI, that thing cost about RM550+ IIRC.

sorry just google that out and found that is really a cheap and crossfire momboard. if im lucky there still in stock. haha
