Is it good enough for mild OC?

Hi guys,

Can suggest me rig to replace my old Dell Inspiron? Recently got lucky draw that win me Samsung 19" monitor, so thinking of building budget rig instead of buying new laptops. Haven't build PC since 2005 so kind of lost with all the new hardwares now (esp. on GPU and mobo)

[Budget]
RM2500 max, lower is better but don't want to sacrifice performance.

[Purpose]
Work: Programming (Java & PHP), light Photoshop (use for icons/wireframe/little image manipulation), can handle multitasking very well (a lot of Chrome tabs - 20/30 is normal for me, also need to consider appserver & webserver). Maybe a bit virtualization (Oracle VirtualBox + Vagrant settings), but I might dual-boot with Linux.

Light gaming: Mostly played old games (Sim City 4, old Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege 2, Civilization, Football Manager.. I'm more into RPG/strategy). Maybe wanted to try new games e.g. Diablo 3/Starcraft 2/Dota 2/Watch Dog, but not priority. Much prefer not online games now that I'm married (although I do miss the good ol times of playing RO and Dota 1 v5/v6 sometimes )

[Hardware existing/reuse]
Monitor - got Samsung 19" (only 1366x768), keyboard & mouse.

[Games/Softwares used frequently]
Softwares: Netbeans, IntelliJ, PhpStorm, Photoshop, Tomcat/Glassfish/Apache stuffs, VirtualBox and Vagrant, dual-boot Windows/Linux.
Games: see above. Not a heavy gamer.

[Personal preferences]
- Small form factor if possible (eyeing for CM Elite 130 - need that USB3!)
- If possible Mobo include Wifi (my Unifi is installed at ruang tamu, don't want to pull LAN cable).
- Not planning to OC at all. Thinking either Xeon/i7 4790, but can't decide which. Not sure should go with just integrated GPU or is it worth it to get a graphic card...
- 8GB RAM, can still tolerate no SSD (maybe future upgrade).

Question:
1) Do I still need CPU cooler for heavy workload? Or stock cooler still okay? Worried that running too much stuff at one time will get too much CPU heat then blow my mobo

2) B85 vs H97 motherboard; apart from CPU support, what's the advantage of getting H97? Is B85 not future-proof?

3) Can suggest future upgrade? Which one first? SSD/RAM? Maybe not GPU (if already suggested) since I'm not playing newest game (but I might add another monitor for 1 vertical / 1 horizontal settings).

Thanks sifu!

Hi guys, this request rig may sound a lil wierd and some of u may tell me to just get a TV box or sumting. But it need it to be able to run in Windows.

[Budget] As low as reasonably achievable.

[Purpose]
Build size as small as reasonably achievable with..
Connect to my 40" TV via HDMI port.
Able to connect to internet router via WIFI.
Able to stream videos from WDmycloud.
USB 3.0 port
CD rom drive needed.
Able to perform browsing/youtube. Able to play movies (at least 1080p smoothly)

[Personal preferences]
able to run windows 7 (or 8)

Basically I'm looking for a TV box running windows.

Tq in adv.

Thank you Minecrafter for your help. Yes, I have checked and it has free international shipping. Warranty shouldn't be an issue since it's from Gigabyte itself.

I took some time to look around and came up with this. Seeking advice on this build's efficiency(cpu+mobo) Prices from Viewnet.

CORE I5 4590 1150 3.30 6MB - 669
B85-PRO GAMER INTEL 1150 - 409
HX316C10FB FURY 1600 - 249
TRANSCEND 128GB SSD 370 SERIES - 229
DESKTOP WD 1TB SATA - 179
CORSAIR 400R / 760T (Blk) - 339 (price from cycom)
SEASONIC 550W G-SERIES MODULAR - 359
COOLER MASTER HYPER 212X - 149

Total - 2582 (and i haven't included GPU... need to raise budget, lol)

Since the Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming is cheaper in Amazon after USD to MYR conversion I thought I might just buy from Amazon instead. The only question I have is how the import fee/duty would be charged for it. Has anyone here ever ordered any computer parts from Amazon or eBay?

interesting suggestion. but i cant seem to find where to buy one. also i ve checked it out in their official site.. they do not even have a quotation of the price

Thanks sifus for the suggestions.
Sifus mentioned "Viewnet" in most of the suggestions.

May i know how and where should i go to assemble the rig?
Directly go to their shops?
Would the actual price differ from their price list?

Just wondering if there any mini itx mobo that have msata slots [for Sdd or wifi] available locally.

Got without wifi card? Just free msata slot/s.
