may i know which gpu is better ?
Radeon R280 vs Asus GTX750Ti in term of performance and prices ?

R9 280 is always better than GTX750Ti, even the weaker R9 270 is also faster than GTX750Ti.

If you want to buy GTX750Ti, don't look for Asus/Gigabyte, they are expensive, try looking for Zotac/Palit, especially those priced < RM 550.

PowerColor R9 270 is just RM 530.

R9 280 without a doubt but R9 280's power consumption is much higher than GTX750Ti, so please ensure the PSU can support before making purchase.

Technically spending on i7 4790k will mean you need to buy a Z97 board which will cost more than normal boards.

And buying i7 6700, you can go for something like B150 boards.

Full load could draw nearly 270W, still ok but if you have extra money, go for something better, like Seasonic M12II EVO 620W.

i7 4790K is Haswell CPU (4th gen) so you need to get Haswell mobo, you can pair it with lower end H81/B85 without issue (some of them allow overclocking with BIOS update) and the RAM module will be the slightly slower DDR3.

My recent rig is getting inconsistent ping because I'm using an old wireless adapter.

Should I get a homeplug, or get an AC wireless adapter instead? I'm using an Asus AC router btw.

If ethernet cable is an option, then it will be the first choice as it is the best for gaming due to almost zero packet lost and consistent latency.

If your are behind a wall or there is a big obstacle between you and the router, then high chance it will cause packet lost and bad latency.

Maybe you should try other devices first at exact location of your PC, if the culprit is really the old wireless adapter then only get a new adapter, if not then homeplug would be better.

The cheapest GTX960 is around RM 850, while 120GB SSD is around RM 200, if you are ok with some top up, then this will be the best option for the time being.

as rendering use cpu raw power, does that make i7 4790 is much better than i7 6700 ? coz most of the reviews i saw make more comparisons in term of gaming etc. The only downside of getting an i7 4790 is you cant use ddr4 ram is it ?

4790 or 4790K?

If 4790 vs 6700 then go for 6700, both are having similar boost speed.

4790 is Haswell platform so it doesn't support DDR4.
