After saving more money its finally time to buy the rig i  wanted. Probably buying it next Monday if there's nothing wrong with it.
Price is from idealtech website because i planning on buying it from them
INTEL XEON E3-1231V3 - RM965
ASROCK H97 Fatal!ty Performance -RM475
GSKILL AEGIS 4GB DDR3 1600mhz(CL11)X2 -RM278
PALIT GTX980TI REFERENCE -RM2699
CoolerMaster V650- RM435
CRYORIG H7 (145MM) - RM169
NZXT H440 WINDOW (Black Red) - RM469
WD 1TB Caviar  - RM199
PLEXTOR M6S 128GB - RM299
BENQ 24" GL2460HM(FF/BL/Vesa)(1920x1080/2ms/VGA/DVI/HDMI/Audio/3YEARS WARRANTY) - RM579
Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64bit  RM200

TOTAL -Rm6767
Max Budget 6800

IM going with Red/black theme because i adore the H4440 case. Thats the reason for the H97 fatility performance and not h97 pro4.
The monitor is there because im thinking of upgrading it into 1440p when i have saved up for it. Probably next year.

Change RAM to 1x8GB,better resale value and saves RAM slots than 2x4GB.Other than that,everything looks fine if you're fine with the overkill CPU cooler. biggrin.gif

Thank you very much .Yes you are right,  We don't need 4K monitor right now. Can you suggest the alternative?
One more question, for this type of task, in order to future proof it,  do you think we should invest on more on the graphics or the CPU (i.e 6 or more cores CPU)?

And if im not mistaken, Xeon E3 1231 V3 is 4 cores right? is it possible / good to use 6 or more core CPU?
*
The Xeon E3-1231 V3 has 4 cores and threads. nod.gif

What's your budget and usage?

Thanks a heap. I'll bear that in mind when I purchase for my rig! Do you think GTX970 is enough for every game?

There are some games that eat more than 3.5GB of vRAM,you can tone down the settigns to prevent it from reaching the limit.

I see i see. I was curious about the price only  blush.gif

Ah..so 520w is enough ya? Since i had bad experience with 500w PSU with my last rig. I had to change three time from CM 500w (x2) to FSP hexa 500w

Another question though, is it advisable to grab x2 8gb RAM? Since i'll be running some browser on the background while playing..
and probably will render video while playing too..I don't know which part will get affected  icon_question.gif

I'm trying to build a rig, but I didn't have any experience and knowledge about those branded.
I don't want to buy those component separately and build myself... 1 shot in 1 shop is easier for me...
Now looking for Jayacom...

I5 4460 RM618
B85-E45 RM260
MSI GTX 960 RM779
Cooler Master Thunder M Series RM235
Kingston value RAM 8GB RM198
WD 1TB RM 180
AeroCool V3X Advance RM99

total included GST = RM2511

Is this build ok? or can make it better(component quality)? any other shop recommend?
*
Get this.

Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM679
MSI B85M-E45 RM289
MSI GTX960 Tiger OC 2GB GDDR5 RM850
Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM209
WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM189
FSP Hexa+ 550W RM199
Thermaltake Versa H25 RM135
Total:RM2550
Prices are from Viewnet@LYP. smile.gif

Looking at the Jayacom's pricelist,they don't seem to have FSP Hexa+ 550W..entry level PSUs are mostly,if not all are crap ones on their price list. tongue.gif

Looking for an upgrade for my 2nd pc, budget around RM2k

Current spec :

i5 4440 3.2ghz
Asrock B85M-itx
R9 270 2GB GGD5
1 x 8GB Aegis 1600mhz DDR3
Intel SSD 710 Series 100GB
WD 1TB Caviar Blue

Was planning to upgrade processor, SSD and graphic card together. I was planning to go with GTX970 but the price already taken 3/4 of the budget. Should i stick with i5 4440 processor and go for the card and SSD or just get a good processor with decent graphic card and better SSD?

[Budget]5k. 5.5k max

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] No idea. Im not well-knowledge in PC. Suggest me.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Same as 2nd point

[Personal preferences]
Big monitor if possible. Include all other parts such as wifi card, windows etc because I never had a pc before so it would be nice if it comes in complete set. I want a build that has very good cooling and also future proof that can last me about 5 years. Also I prefer the rigs being assembled for me. Is it possible lol?

Also with the budget of 5k, will I get more powerful pc if I buy Alienware?

Hi all. Need some advice on the following specs:

Intel Xeon E3 1231 V3
MSI B85-G43
8GB RAM
Zotac GTX980 Reference
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Superflower HX 600W Gold
Phanteks TC14PE air cooler

The mobo ok? I read some reviews that need to flash the BIOS and tweak the setting for the LAN to work properly. The PSU sufficient for this build?
Thank you!

Is that the MSI B85-G43 Gaming motherboard?Costs RM429...change it to Asrock H97-Pro4,should be around RM369.

The PSU uses capxon capacitors... doh.gif Change it to Seasonic M12II Evo 620W 80+ Bronze Fully Modular RM379.

You can change the SSD to Liteon 900S 256GB RM429,the currently best bang for buck SSD. brows.gif

The CPU cooler is overkill and expensive,change it to CM Hyper TX3 Evo RM94.34. nod.gif

So far what I calculated is around 6k plus.
This is what I am deciding to get.

CrossHair V Formula-Z - 859
R9 390 x DC II - 1879
Strike X 1100W - 469
ASUS Gold 1600Mhz   (White) (Pair) - 499

Casing have no clue yet on what to buy. budget - 500
Monitor not sure what to get too. budget - 800

So these are the items I am planning to buy. Got the price list from Jayacom.
My question is, is it worth it?
Are the parts compatible.
And please do give me any feed back on these.
Thanks.
