From GTX 660 + S2340L,
is this the right time to jump on either gtx970 + gsync monitor (AOC gsync, ROG swift is OOB now) or Jump to freesync + amd (by comitting to AMd GPU first)? as im getting the limit of gtx 660 now. running at 99% when gaming even when not at full setting (archeage).

or wait till the tech a bit more mature (how long?) and change to Ultrsharp (U2414H/U2515h) monitor? please note that im not professional, and casually edit pics. Currently, im not sure if i would appreciate the high refresh rate (as i havent try) or good colour reproduction (S2340L is my first IPS monitor).

Can you afford RM2.7k Asus ROG 27" Gsync monitor?

What is your full PC spec? Yeah, GTX970 is a good buy. It will boost the performance significantly.
*
OOB = Out of budget. but still, if its totally worth it, i will just get the swift first and use it on gtx 660, upgrade GPU later.

Current spec

CPU - i5 4690k + CM Neptune 240M
MOBO - Asus z97 Pro Gamer
GPU - Galaxy gtx 660
RAM - Kingston HyperX 4gb X 2 (Blue colour)
PSU - Enermax Naxn+ 620W
SSD - Crucial Mx100 256gb
HDD - 2tb WD Blue
Casing - Corsair 300R
Monitor - Dell S2340L

Monitor does not boost gaming performance. GTX970 is a better buy.

does high refresh rate improve the experience? for you at least.

My tangan also gatal2 nak beli ROG swift, but never found it in my conscious to justify the price..
Kalau ade kesabaran dlm jiwa. Wait for a card that is is good enough to power a 4k, and buy 4k monitor + GPU then. Again, IF.
*
yes. you totally get what I feel now. it's somehow gatal2 tgn matter also. anyway, 4K is absolutely no for me for now. I think need to wait until the monitor price and gpu performance is right for 4k.

Hello sifus, what to look for when buying RAM? Will be there any performance gain in gaming/video editing when buying high clocked ram?

Cos, if not, i might be going for 16gb dual channel and just pick anything that are nice to my eyes.

I mainly want to change my ram for colour matching (either black/Red). now im using Kingston HyperX Genesis 4GBX2 1600mhz OCed at 2400mhz.

Pc Spec : i5 4690k (Oced at 4.6ghz) + Asus Z97 pro Gamer

Good day everyone,

If we are using intel xeon 1231 v3 with a B/H motherboard, can we enable the XMP profile for RAM? as such buying 2400mhz, but default setting is at 1600mhz. thanks in advance.

Added :

Can recommend me rm8k budget pc including monitor for a fren of mine. I reckon he can get g sync monitor with this budget? (Acer Predator/Asus ROG Swift) .

Mainly for gaming n photoshop regularly.

He insist on this item to be include:

Corsair K70 RGB
Fractal Design R4
AIO Liquid Cooler

No idea for Xeon on Intel XMP. I do know the motherboard supports.

Asus G-Sync monitor? Not worth it. You will end up with lower spec

How about these?

Xeon E3-1231 V3 - RM900
Coolermaster Hyper 212X - RM159
Gigabyte H97-HD3 motherboard - RM359
Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM229
MSI GTX970 4GB DDR5 OC Tiger - RM1339
Liteon 900S 256GB SSD - RM399 (from Viewnet)
Seagate SV35 2TB hard disk - RM300
Seasonic M12 II Evo 620W power supply - RM379 (from Viewnet)
Corsair spec 02/03 case - RM207
Corsair K70 -  RM450
Asus PG278Q G-Sync monitor - RM3099

RM7820 total (Jayacom prices)
*
Gigabyte H97-HD3 motherboard - RM359 - does this motherboard support xmp, if yes, then all good to get eg : Avexir Blitz 1.1 at 2400mhz?

n thanks for the prompt reply. i just added some infos on he wish to have.

added : he also want black n red colour motherboard hmm.gif

note : its just my recomendation for him to get g sync, if its worth it. not he insist tho.

Yes that mobo supports XMP, but getting a higher frequency and performance RAM won't have much performance differences in real world unless you are doing benchmark on it, but if you like the design then you are good to go  sweat.gif

Intel Core i7 4790K - RM 1329
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 - RM 679
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM x1 - RM 229
Leadtek Hurricane GTX980 4GB GDDR5 GPU - RM 2179
Liteon S900 256GB SSD - RM 399
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 199
Seasonic M12 II Evo 620W PSU - RM 379
Corsair K70 RGB - RM 680 (Estimated)
Corsair Hydro H100i AIO - RM 499
Fractal Design R4 - RM 450 (GBros price)
Dell U2414H - RM 979

Total: RM8001 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Monitor is just my own preference as U2414H is a good quality IPS monitor, you can choose other monitor with low input lag if you wish.

Thank you for your input.Yeap, that RAM is just for Looks. laugh.gif

I guess he gonna pay for it.
Try Gigabyte H97 Gaming 3. That is red and black. Yes, H97 supports XMP.

Some refinement
