Primarily used for gaming, but I also plan to learn the Unity engine so some 3D work there too. Budget is between 5k to 6k.<br /><br />CPU: Core i7 4790 - RM969<br />Mobo: ???? - suggestions? There are so many models and I have no idea where to start or what the differences are.<br />RAM: Corsair VG PC2400 16GB - RM789<br />GPU: AMD R9 290 - not sure which brand. Also, is a GTX 780 Ti (and PhysX) worth the ~RM500 difference?<br />SSD: ???? - no idea what&#39;s a good brand, never bought one before. Preferably 240GB.<br />PSU: ???? - How many watts?<br />Casing: ????<br /><br />Also I don&#39;t plan to overclock, so would I need a cooler?<br /><br />Appreciate your help&#33; swimfan Hardware Wed, 02 Jul 2014 13:59:15 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3251301 Hey folks, appreciate some help and opinions here.<br /><br />I have been mulling building a new gaming PC recently after my Core 2 Duo machine from 2007 finally died on me. I haven&#39;t been really keeping up with the tech advancements since 2007 so am really struggling with picking the right parts now.<br /><br />Before I ask for recommendations on a gaming rig, do you folks think it&#39;s a good time to build one now, or is a new iteration of something on the horizon and I should be waiting until then? I read that DDR4 memory is coming out probably end of this year, and I&#39;m inclined to wait for that.<br /><br />Your informed opinions are appreciated&#33;<br /><br /> swimfan Hardware Sun, 08 Jun 2014 21:11:38 +0800
