MSI Gaming comes with Twin Frozr cooler and is the highest end GTX970 card for MSI brand, that's why price is more expensive, both of them are GTX970 so performance will be almost identical, the Gaming version might have a higher clock core which yields slightly higher FPS than the Tiger version, but whether it worth the extra RM 200, it depends on you, if you have budget then go for it, if no then just get the Tiger version, you can overclock manually to match what Gaming version can offer.

If you want to save money, no need to look for Asus Strix, MSI Gaming, Gigabyte G1 Gaming/Xtreme, EVGA card.

Noted, thanks for the advice. how about ram? if i use back my old comp ram ADATA 8 GB DDR4, 2133 SODIMM? or i should get UDIMM ram?

i was thinking getting zotac geforce GTX 970 4gb GDDR6 256 bit. since same function with MSI right?

SODIMM RAM? That's for laptop one, you need DIMM RAM (UDIMM is also DIMM, U means unbuffered).

Which Zotac version of GTX970? They have reference, AMP, Extreme, Extreme Core etc.

Zotac Normal version which is 1454 only. otherwise will be AMP level.

I see, dual fan version right? Can, no problem, but remember ask for stock status and latest price, sometimes they might forget to update it 

haha. yes but i damn attract on taking MSI 970 gaming due to free Rise of the tomb cd key. do you think worth enough?

Hi sifus can you recommend a mini pc build that can work as a NAS and downloading machine?

Processor need to be quite good to handle transcoding in Plex media center to 2 TVs and multiple tablets and need to be able to hold at least 4 3.5" HDD.

Im a fan of Silverstone cases too especially the small form factor ones.

No monitors needed but it does need fast wifi and bluetooth if possible.

I already have the HDDs btw. Also have some DDR3 ram lying around that i can use.

Budget within 1000-2500.

Zotac card also got free Rise of the Tomb Raider key, you just need to register the product and upload proof of purchase in the redeem portal here to get the code, same goes to other brands.

As I said earlier, if your budget allows to get the MSI Gaming card and you are going for aesthetic purpose, go and get it.

* Aesthetic is priceless * 

K CPU is unlocked for overclocking "naturally" but due to some glitch (again), non-K CPU can also be used to overclock via BCLK overclocking.
Your current casing form factor is ATX?

Yes

Yes

Woah that means my i5 4460 also got unlocked multiplier ?

Is it worth upgrading Xeon E3 1231 for the new processor? My friend is telling me my CPU is bottlenecking my 980ti.

Hello sifus, does engineer sample cpu have problem or side effects?
I found plenty of es/eq cpus on taobao, for instance :
http://world.taobao.com/item/42657808246.h...0.QKxoYe#detail

why are these cpu cheaper than market price? like 40% only.

Bro, didn't terence_nwb suggested a few builds already?

This is one of them.

Old price though.

Are you gonna be overclocking, though?
