Thank you for the 2 recommendation!

Just curious on a few question:

1. MOBO being chosen. What is the diff for H and Z series?

2. Sharkoon 3w9000-w a good casing?

3. How to decide on the brand of RAM. Personal pref?

4. Just CPU cooler need or just HeatSink will do?

Appreciate for the enlightenment !

Graphic Card can buy at Lazada soo much cheaper.

ZOTAC Geforce GTX 980 Ti Omega OC Edition 6GB GDDR5 @ $975
Palit GeForce GTX 980 Ti Super JetStream 6GB GDDR5 Graphics Card @ $975

Bring it over to PC Themes for installation.

I don't think your nick HWZ will allow you to use.

Bro, not everyone needs the latest tech. For Skylake and maxwell, it's good enough already. Pascal/Polaris will be ex and the increase in performance might not justify the high price.

Totally agree with you.
Doesn't mean new stuff is always the best option.
Old stuff with relatively good price performance ratio is better option

suggest that you apply to featured sponsor with HWZ before you get banned :s13:

You ought to look at the target audience. TS has a $3K budget. Moreover, this is purely for PC without any peripheral. This would have tell us he wants the best gaming performance he can get with his money.

Sure, new parts come with hefty introductory price premium on the initial stage. Thats why i have been telling people to wait till 2H for prices to cool down. Likewise, you would see top end part proces tumble like no tomorrow.

Remember how Radeon R9-290X was selling at $400+ last year on Lazada from its original range of $800-900 anyone?

Furthermore, this next gen ain't just architectural improvement, but more importantly a huge jump from 28nm to 14nm silicon node. This means you ought to see vast performance improvement compared to the last 3 years of stagnation.

The wait is certainly painfully, but definitely worth it. ;)
