Yeah, just get K but board that is just enough to fuel it. You still can get 6Ghz turbo with stock. Swap the board to Asus ROG Strix Z790-A D5 at RM2.1k . MSI board this gen is disappointing. One M.2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIE X16 and makes it X8.

back home liao.. here the quote

Does such a setup really need a 1300W Platinum rated PSU?

PSU too doesnt have to be white as it will disappear behind the chassis.

4080 super high chance QC dint pass punya 4090...

N tat PSU is black

Err nope 4080S using different GPU core (AD103) than 4090 (AD102)

Bro, u know wat I mean.. if something like 4090D can come out..

K series not exactly only about OC these days, basically just freedom for u to input custom parameters to drive the CPU however u want.
perhaps u may undervolt it instead, or simply run it at stock.
undervolting allows slightly lower power draw and heat allowing some cores to boost longer, hence translates to slightly better performance.
u may search and read up AC/DC loadline undervolt if u want to understand more about it, else just stock all the way.

So if i increase budget to RM5k..what would you recommend?

RX 6700 XT and RX 6750 XT stock dried. Currently overpriced. Cheapest I can find is Powercolor RX 6700 XT Fighter at RM1899. Cheapest 7700 XT at RM2123....

Probably go for these.

How about AMD? What would you recommend?

Will not recommend AMD for office work. Unless you want higher chance of crashes.

Why, always still 1st player psu??

& change the gigbutt rtx 3060 to a zotac rtx 3060 12gb / 192bit for Rm1350

Psu can opt for thermaltake / enermax / Fsp high end model..

Some can get, 10 yrs warranty
