i dont really know.. 3k-5k perhaps? 3k rig can do rendering if using geforce that is  ?

Hmm it's just abit over my budget. Would the build still work if I use like an i5-4460 instead?

Also, may I ask how to calculate wattage? I'm just wondering if 520W is enough for occasional multitasking (opening game and browser at the same time etc), and if I should get a higher wattage PSU for future proofing.

Thank you very much for your help

Hei guys, I am planning to get a rig for gaming (PES, NBA 2K, GTA, Far Cry and etc) and entertainment that can last me a 3-5 years. Budget around 6k for CPU and monitor.

1. Not planning to go 4K or SLI but I hope can get a overclockable intel CPU.
2. Preferable nvidia graphic card and mobo from the same company.
3. Planning to get VX2770SML for my monitor， feel free to give any recommendation for 27" monitor with high cp. IPS or MVA more suitable for gaming?
4. For HDD, preferable western digital (what is the differences between green and blue actually?) but no preference for SSD.
5. Casing I prefer cooler master but if there is a similar casing with high CP I am fine with that as well.

Sorry for having so many requirements and thanks for your help in advance!

i heard ppl said the R9 280 is better than GTX960?

Thanks sifus for the advice, my final rig setup as below

CPU: Xeon E3-1231V3 RM830 (Rebated RM50)
RAM: Gskill Aegis 8GB 1600mhz DDR3 RM249
MOBO: B85M Pro4 RM329
GPU: Sapphire R9 280 Dual-X OC RM759
PSU: S12II-620(80+Bronze) NON RM299
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Black RM269
Chasis: N200 RM169
TL-WN881ND RM40 (Top up from Promotion)
SCYTHE KATANA 4 RM89
Other: bitfenix specter blue rm27

Hi, I need some advices here. Here are part of the components I am going to buy :
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4 2666MHz
MOBO: Gigabyte X99 mATX LGA 2011-3 GA-X99M-Gaming 5
PSU: Corsair AX760i
Samsung 850 EVO 250gb X2 (planned to run raid 0)
Corsair H100i
And now I cant decide on the chassis, the gpu.
For chassis, I think I am going for a Prodigy M but I am not sure about whether my this build suites this chassis or not. Need some advice here.

While for GPU I am not a hardcore gamer just playing some medium graphic game so I think I am going for some mid range graphic card with price <RM800.

And lastly I need some suggestion for monitor, preferably with HDMI connection, less than 27 inches, with price <RM600. Thanks.

Since still have spare balance, I will push for a H97, more modern, extra features, 4 ram slots and support Broadwell (just incase there's a need for upgrade in near future).

Hmm, actually they provide the option to upsize the SSD with topup?

Definitely fit my need (if I didn't had my GTX970 and Transcend 370 in hands...).

So effectively, it is RM140 for extra 128GB, pretty good deal.

BTW, always prepare some over provisioning space for it.

Getting a 1TB Hard drive before GST , Why mostly recommend WD Blue over Seagate Barracuda ?
Using it for OS since my Hitachi 500GB is in Caution mode for bad sectors.
