Just not Giga Eagle https://www.techspot.com/review/2791-nvidia...rtx-4070-super/
"We also have the Gigabyte Eagle OC, another base model using a compact triple-fan cooler. This cooler, previously used on their standard RTX 4070, was one of the worst performers in our 4070 roundup, reaching a peak GPU hotspot temperature of 73°C at nearly 2,000 RPM.

Predictably, using this same cooler on a higher-powered GPU hasn't improved the results; in fact, it's even worse. The junction temperature hit 70°C, close to the hot spot temperature of the FE model, which is problematic as it resulted in a hotspot temperature of 85°C for the GPU. This is not ideal, and it's exacerbated by a high fan speed of 2,100 RPM, making this card both hot and loud at 38 dBA."

Oh wait 2fan only? Will be hotter & noisier. Do reconsider.

I heard/read MSI (ventus two fan) also have issue too. Can you recommend two fan gc, my case barely fit 3 fan and if possible I don't want to squeeze/cramp inside case for air flow (mine tecware fusion)

How about warranty in case of faulty (brand reliability), so far I never face any issue previous gc, a bit of concern

Want 5 years warranty then zotac.

Others if not mistaken is standard 2 to 3 years warranty.

Asus should be better. However, got Asus tax.

MSI also not bad.

2fan then it would be hotter than usual.

Asus is best bet if you can stomach the Asus tax
https://www.asus.com/my/motherboards-compon...l-rtx4070s-12g/
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-gef...070-super-dual/

Otherwise, Palit, PNY, Gainward also makes 2fan versions. Manli too but not sure if this brand still sold here or not.

can anyone help to comment on this PC i am going to buy?

I plan to play AAA titles like howard legacy on reasonable settings on 1080p monitor.

do not wish to spend too much money on a graphic card as technology changes every year that every year the spec will be upgraded for the same price.

Swap the motherboard with MSI one, as for graphics cards more VRAM is better. Choose 3060 with 12gb of VRAM

8GB from RTX 4060 going to give you hell for Hogwarts. And adding to the injury....single channel RAM and DDR5 with low budget rig!

Try

Core i5-12400F - 590
MSI B760M-A Pro Wifi - 635
Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 32GB DDR4-3200 kit - 330
Gigabyte RTX 4070 12GB Windforce (Super is around RM300 more if u wanna go there) - 2709
Kingston KC3000 1TB - 449
MSI A750BN - 319
Montech Air 100 case - 159

RM5191 total (Shopee prices)

Dark Rock Pro stupidly overpriced for the performance. Get Thermalright Phantom Spirit instead. I put my faith on MSI more than Gigabyte. PSU? NZXT C750

Casing? Lian Li Lancool 216, Lancool III, Corsair 4000D, Fractal Pop Air. Montech 903 Air.

Unfortunately if you wish to play AAA titles for now and into near future, even at mid-low settings, getting a decent GPU is the bare minimum. At least 4070/7800XT

There are so many wrongs with that selection but Tristanx have given a good alternative. And for i5 only you dont need an AIO unless going for fish tank case.

bequiet! stuff memang overpriced even for Western market but its main USP is the lowest noise per level of performance (supposedly!). Comparable to Noctua. If your the type really sensitive to noise, bequiet! is the best bet.

How about the MSI b650 msi tomahawk wifi? Also would a RTX 3070 be good enough for most AAA at 1440p or is the 4070 a better choice?

Yeah, decent board.

8GB VRAM issue. Avoid any 8GB cards, so 4070 is the way to go.

You pretty much can squeeze in a 4
4070ti or 4080 for this budget. I am too using 4080 for 1080p soon 1440p

PSU standard Tier A list will be sufficient 850watt for 4080

Casing Corsair 4000D cause I am bias. 😛
