Hi guys, i am looking to build a gaming/work desktop (without monitor) any recommendation would be appreciated

[Budget] rm4.5k - 5k (including win 8.1 or win 7 please recommend)

[Purpose] Gaming / Work , Movies , multitasking

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor

[Monitor resolution] 1080p (Might want to go into 1440p in the future)

[Games & softwares that use frequently] New games, Photoshop, Flash, 3d software (Zbrush etc)

[Personal preferences]
-GTX 970
-intel i7 4790k (might want to try OC once i learn more about it) ,
-gigabyte mobo ( heard that they are durable),
-would prefer to keep the HDD at 1tb (might add Hdd from old pc or additional hdd  later the year) so the additional fund go to other places
-16gb of ram ( or should i add the other 8gb later?)
[Location] Petaling Jaya (i'll be getting it from the digital mall preferably from only one shop)

I've check the price list from c-zone that their Leadtek GTX970 comes with a Plextor m6s 128gb , unsure if its from the christmas promotion as there is no mention of it being HURRICANE version, is it worth getting if its not the Hurricane version?

Thanks in advance  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Just make sure your BIOS is up to date. Newer RAM chips may cause compatibility issues.

You can also go for Corsair Carbide 400R at RM329 for 8 expansion slots which is better for SLI due to more room in the case.

You can't fit tower cooler on ITX case.

hi thanks.does xeon is much better than intel core (i5/i7) in general and graphic/rendering purpose?
*
Xeon is slightly slower than i7. Only difference is slightly slower speed and no built-in GPU.

Almost everyone goes Intel and Nvidia when it comes to graphics or 3D rendering.

A couple of simple questions.
1. Is two 2.5 hdd lighter than one 3.5 hdd?
2. Is i3 4150 enough for rendering?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, two 2.5" HDD is lighter than one 3.5"

Not recommended. Rendering is all about number of cores and threads. The more you have, the faster it gets.

That is over budget,but you can haggle with them to get it cheaper or switch out the MoBo to Asrock B85M-HDS RM239. nod.gif

About paying with installment,i've no idea.

Idealtech and C-Zone has easy payment plan. Maybank credit card is required. As for other credit cards, gotta check with them.

This rig would be my daily surf web , movie & gaming.

Sapphire R7 265 Dual-X is more powerful for around the same price. The rest looks ok.

Hi all, I am new here.
Would need your comment on the following rig that I plan to build before CNY

Proc : i5 4690K
Mobo :
Ram : 8GB
Hard Disk : WD Blue 1TB hard disk
PSU : Seasonic M12 II Evo 520W
Graphic Card : Gainward Phantom GTX970
Monitor :

Will reuse Casing, DVD Drive, Keyboard & Mouse.

I cannot decide which mobo is the best (less than RM 400) and monitor (preferably 23", not too glossy screen & less than RM 600)

For gaming (not too hardcore)

Please comment on my build.

Thank you.

Are you going to overclock? Good Z97 motherboards that can overclock better doesn't come cheap.

Xeon E3-1231 V3 is more value for money if you are not going to overclock. It is i7 in disguise without built-in GPU.
