Isn't it better to get an NVidia GPU for AutoCAD,no?

goldfries,can you please pin this thread?Thanks!

Can i order parts online from jayacom?

Nvidia GPUs have slight advantage over AMD in autocad but looks like he will use the rig for gaming like GTA V and the R7 250X will be a bit better than the same priced GT740.

yes! I would say most of the time I will just use it to watch movies..gaming and cad? not so much..

I'm currently using a 4 years old ASUS N55S laptop. Would you recommend to fork out the 2k to upgrade to a brand new desktop? or just invest in a giant hdmi monitor? any monitor recommendation with budget of 600?

Their online store still not yet complete the set up, but you can give them a call and see if they are doing shipment.

Thanks. What about viewnet?

https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/34-phantom.html in love with that case, love the design, so futuristics. what do you think?

Nice case but if you like Phantom + H440 design, I suggest you to wait for Noctic 450, the baby of both cases 

You mean this? love the aggresive design https://store.nzxt.com/products/noctis-450-black-red

Yes 

So what is the diffence between mid and full tower case anyway?

Full tower can fit any component, have more expansion slot and better air ventilation but is much bigger compared to mid tower.

not to mention also very heavy

Ahh i see, so which one you recommend? i like both case
not going to move it around haha

What is SSD mainly use for? To store games or load games faster?

Mainly use to store OS to fasten up boot time. Generally everything will be faster if you store them in SSD

I see. What about liquid and fan cooling? Which one better and reliable?

My new rig will be name Project Zeus

Thank you

hi guys, my current rig couldnt boot up. suspect to be mobo failure. My current setup is AMD Phenom ii X4 955, Asus crosshair iii formula, Corsair 2GBx2 & 4GBx2, Radeon HD5770, 500gb & 1TBx2 HDDs, Coolermaster Gladiator 600 casing, Coolermaster 650W PSU.

So i guess this is good time and excuse for me to jump to Intel bandwagon. Thinking of Intel i7 4790k and what z97 mobo you guys recommend with good features and soundcard to price ratio? what about SSD? thx.

Try

Core i7-4790K - RM1199 (Jayacom)
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 motherboard - RM630 (Jayacom)

RM1829 (RM1938.74 with GST from Jayacom)

Liteon 900S 256GB - RM419 (C-Zone) - includes GST

what about GPU if i consider to upgrade? what is replaceable to the aging hd5770? GTX750?

what about GPU if i consider to upgrade? what is replaceable to the aging hd5770? GTX750?

Hard to suggest with no budget. I already jumped GTX970 for 1080p six months ago.

What is your budget?

Which shop in lowyat plaza can get a steel series headset? Any recommendations?

i guess, i will live with the HD5770 1st till i have the budget for gtx900 series.

anyway as for the gigabyte gaming5 mobo, that the best in that range of price? what about gaming7? what about asrock or msi?

i5-4460
mobo ??
8GB RAM
GPU ??
1T WD caviar blue
PSU ??

Can you please help by suggesting GPU and PSU for this build.
I'm thinking of EVGA 500W bronze and NVidia GTX 750

Budget bro?

Total: RM 1718.32 (Price with cents is from Jayacom, the rest without cents is from Viewnet)

Your budget is out of reach of the i5, an i5 + that overpriced Asus B85 mobo already cost you nearly 1k.

Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz
Asrock H81M-VG4
ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Kingston HyperX-Fury RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
FSP Hexa+ 550W
Thermaltake Versa H25

This spec sheet is mainly for gaming. However, is this build also sufficient for audio programs (editing, recording, producing)?

It will work, audio editing/recording/producing is not that resource hog compared to video rendering, if you only use for audio program, you can ditch the GPU and spend the money in getting a better PSU and processor.

Nah. I'm also gonna use it for gaming. Hence, the GTX 750 Ti.

Viewnet, ALL IT, Sri Computer and etc are selling them.
You can also go for Asus Z97 PRO GAMER, also got 8 phase VRM and looks cool too, RM 663 

Guys...

Hello,

Please remove your SPAM and most probably SCAM post off our thread. Last warning.

goldfries Please do check if he has spammed the other threads as well.

Thank you.

yep..spammed other thread as well based on his posts list...

soundcard audio quality? comparable to my Asus Crosshair iii formula?

Both are using same SupremeFX X-Fi 8 channels HD audio card so the quality should be about the same

what about Asus maximus vii ranger and Gryphon z97? same audio card? whats the diff with pro gamer?

i'm really confused now between Asrock, MSI, Asus and gigabyte. searching which provide the best features with almost the same value. lol. 

Hey guys, need a rig recommendation. This will be my first rig. Already have a Dell 24" monitor, keyboard and mouse. I will be needing Windows.

Budget: <RM2k if possible, can go up to RM2.5k if absolutely necessary.
Usage: Dota 2 & CS (Max settings), HD movies (main usage), torrents, occasional CAD softwares, Microsoft Office, multitasking.
Requirements: Reliable and upgradable.

Thanks!

Asus Maximus VII Ranger is using same sound card as PRO GAMER, Gryphon z97 is M-ATX mobo and using realtek sound card.

Asus products are having "premium" price here, if you want to get best value mobo, go for Asrock, it's always cheaper than other brands and quite reliable, but the Gigabyte Z97X GAming 5 and Asus Z97 PRO GAMER both are almost same price.

Windows 7 Pro OEM - RM 200

Total: RM 1918.32 (Price with cents is from Jayacom, the rest without cents is from Viewnet, Windows genuine copy is from Idealtech)

So which Asrock z97 provides at least the same or more features compare to this premium brands?

If you are looking for good onboard sound card and overclocking ability, just pick the Asus Z97 PRO GAMER, Asrock Extreme 4 which is about the same price point only using realtek sound card.

so all Arock z97 only using realtek sound card where as only Asus Z97 Pro Gamer and above use the better supremeXF sound card?
what about gigabyte?

Feel like to change MSI SLI Krait to ASUS Maximus VII Hero

If comparing with same price point with Asus Z97 PRO GAMER, it is the only one with custom SupremeFX sound card, Gigabyte also using realtek one.

is the Realtek ALC1150 that bad? because i am quite impressed with the rich features of Asrock z97 series for that price. lol.

The motherboards from the last couple of years has been starting to at least make some strides in audio quality. ALC1150 is actually a pretty decent DAC, but having the DAC itself is only part of a whole audio solution. How it is implemented (with the right caps, the amp for stage out, channel inputs/out, etc.) is also crucial to how good a DAC sound.

One of the best DACs on the market now a days is still the ESS9018 and without proper implementation, I can guarantee that it won't sound better than an average entry level DAC. That said, DACs now a days sounds pretty similar to one another. It's not a very significant difference, noticeable but never night and day.

To answer your question, the ALC1150 (I assume you're talking about this DAC as most "gaming" mobos uses this) is a warmish sounding DAC, not overly warm though. In comparison to say a Creative SBZ, it uses a Cirrus Logic CS4398, it's warmer than the ALC1150 in sound signature, which usually means more depth (and bloat) in bass. Which is better is up to your ears to decide, but if you ask me if they are comparable then I'd say yes.

Obviously the SBZ has a better implementation and comes with Creative's SBX software.  We are getting closer to the day where I think most gamers who actually care about audio quality would not need anything more than the standard ALC1150 on their mobo. There are still some flaws even on the most expensive "gaming" motherboard now, once they fix this then I think most gamers should be in for a good audio treat.

There was a very detailed explanation by SSJBen regarding the ALC1150 before.

Why not upgrade the GTX 750 Ti to the 2GB edition or get the R7 265 instead?
Also, I think can upgrade the Intel Core i3 4150 to Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz at RM670-ish.

The GPU terence_nwb suggested is GTX750,not GTX750Ti. Ti is its brother.

It's 4oclock and I too lazy to come out with my own build, so I borrowed and modded from Minecrafer's build here.

If you seriously want to squeeze in a SSD in the same budget, get non-phantom GTX970 (save RM50), find sub RM100 OEM case, get H97m/H87 (save another RM20-50) and try nego with the shop.

what if i use back my old desktop motherboard msi ms7680, ram 4gb, casing? maybe add 1 more 4gb ram

or it is better to just get a new 1?
