Hey I'm planning to build a gaming PC and tight on budget.
I just want to ask which setup should I go for?
Asus Maximus VII Ranger + Palit Jetstream 760
or
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 + MSI N760 Hawk
or pay $60 more for the Hero? (Btw I'm at Indonesia)

Or is there any better option for the best bang for the buck at my condition?

Hi there,

What CPU are you going to use?
What budget?
Do you have any parts already?
Do you need whole build from me (us)?

I like the gaming 5. Might be able to find a gaming 3 for less if it works for you.

If you're on a tight budget why are you going for the MSI Gaming 5? What's the build you're going for?

niko24 :

I'm going to use the 4690k and I already have the CPU, PSU (X-750), and HDD.
I just want to know if you were I what would you choose and the reason, I'm confused.

iron8orn :

Hmm but the Gaming 3 seems to be not supporting SLI.

bsod1 :

I mean I'm in a tight budget for the MB and GPU. Which one of the options above you'll choose and why? Or are there any other opinion?

Strange choice of 4690K while beeing on tight budget for GPU. I5 4460 + R9 280X would be smarter but since you've already got CPU I would go with MSI set.

May I know why you picked the MSI one?

bsod1 · Oct 16, 2014

can you tell me what your budget?

Sandika · Oct 16, 2014

I have IDR 6,400,000 it's around $534 for the motherboard+GPU.
FYI : I got the CPU and PSU from my uncle as a birthday present. (Strange, huh)

But that motherboard costs over $250 at my country *blah*.
Can you go to enterkomputer.com/simulasi.php and simulate the 1150 Socket Motherboard and GPU for me?
Budget is IDR 6,400,000
