Bro, why dont u pay for a little more and get the LGA2011
Rampage IV Black Edition and bundled it with a 4820K proc.

This will give you more headroom for SLI and photoshop.

SSD go for Samsung EVO or EVO pro

i thought u bought the last rampage 4 black edition liao

If you're still looking at Corsair 750D and you are patient enough to wait for the delivery from Amazon, you can get it @ USD$129.99 now, while the bf sale is still in effect. The only thing will be getting the shipping waived by the CSO which will depends on the CSO and your nego skills. Also, not forgetting that there will be a chance that there will be scratches on the case due to the delivery. If you're up for it I am sure your wallet will be glad too!

Direct delivery or need forwarder? :O if direct, then damn worth omg.

Thanks for sharing ah!

Should i go for a non-ref GTX780 or wait for the non-ref 290?

The reason for considering this option now is because of the game bundle nvidia is offering.
I know that the 290 would probably have BF4 with it. But I would go for 3 free games instead of just BF4.

If you guys think a GTX780 is good, which non-ref to go?

MSI or EVGA or Gigabyte or Zotac? But SG may not have that AAA games. You need to double check which brand has it in SG...

If you can wait, wait for non-ref 290 to be out, read reviews then compare prices and decide.

the reference seem to be performing better than the 780 in games, plus its way cheaper. 56X in sls compared to 728. the savings could be used to fund more games

edit: sg might not have the free games bundle

I don't see myself going extreme with the rig in the next 3-4 years. And what do you mean by pay a little more. How much is that?

Discant

that is not extreme. $1070 for the bundle. No brainer OC confirmation at least 4.4Ghz. if you want extreme , I can tell you what is extreme

I just realised the MSI gaming boards and Maximus VI Hero don't have Wifi support.

Another suggestions on motherboards with wifi? My cpu is the i7-4770k.

Build in Wifi support mobo is not really Build in.

Dont be fooled by the word build in.

It is actually buying a mobo + wifi card preinstalled for you.

It is actually the same as buying a mobo and ownself install the wifi card.

It is cheaper that way and giving you the flexibility to install any wifi card on your own preference.

Thanks for enlightening me.
So which wifi card should I go for? Does it matter or are most wifi cards rather the same?

For GPU, should i go for Asus GTX780, MSI TwinFrozr, or the Gigabyte Windforce?

I'm still kind of stuck between the Maximus VI Hero and the MSI-GD65. Price difference is around $20. $728 vs $706 with the mobo+cpu bundle by tradepac.

I would probably go for the ASUS GPU if i go for the Asus MOBO. But could you provide some advice here?

Thanks. (really close to finishing up my shopping)

Wifi card very much depending on your home network subscribed bandwidth.

It varies between a N150 all the way to N900 also have. Depends on router also dual band or single band.

Well if you dont mind paying more then just get the Asus board with the Asus GTX780. It will be pricey imo. But you pretty much paying more on the brand and premium pricing.

Few hours ago, its 129.99 on Amazon. I went to email them to see if can waive off the shipping fees already. they reply then suddenly price jumped up to 159.99. I think I would rather buy locally if its 159.99.

Oh ya! Thanks for reminding.

If I'm not wrong it's MSI at AMK right? ASUS and the rest are located at Ubi area?
