[mathew1993]

hello guys !
i am having troubles finding out what does tray/oem means ?
i went to some pc store and find out they have a speical offer which is :
i5 4670K Tray/OEM
MSI Z97-G43 GAMING ( which support 4th gen and the next 5th gen )
CPU Cooler: ASUS AMA Phantom
and only for 340 dollar
and the guy who's selling show me everything new inside boxes , setup was awsome
but i didnt get what tray/oem :/

what does it means ? and is it good buy ? .
currently i have ( h81-plus mobo , and i5-4440 cpu )

It's not special. It just means you only get the cpu. No stock cpu cooler included unlike the retail version.
You also only get 1 year warranty which the retail give you 3 years.
You don't get the retail box either.

Tray OEM means that it is not a boxed CPU and does not come with a bundled cooler like the box version. It has shorter warranty as well!

so what do you think ?

so what do you think ?

it will be be a waste of money to get that bundle your cpu and the one specified will not make a big improvement
put your money towards a better gpu, psu , motherboard what ever you need

I think youd be spending a lot of money for a sidegrade. You will get no noticeable performance increase between the 2 unless your overclock the 4670k, and even then it isnt worth the $340 "upgrade".

so what do you think ?

If you can get the OEM for cheaper then go for it! I've never had a CPU go out before, so the warranty is fine. You already have a CPU cooler so why spend money for the intel stock cooler you'll never use.

It is OK for that price but nothing special. Board is a budget board and cooler is at best OK http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/ama_phantom/5.htm

dude you don't need another i5 what is so hard to understand about you won't get a performance increase

 

[mathew1993]

no need to insult dude 🙁
am just picky every one has a z motherboard with i5 90 something lol
and i am just sitting here with my 4440 , anyway if no preformance increase then i'll just keep it

yeah sorry im just not having a very good day today just forget i said that
but invest in a better gpu if you need one

 

[mathew1993]

yeah i already did , gtx 970 asus strix for 360 dollar 🙁 ( if i bought it online would have much lower price , but non would dellever out side europe )
will this build last for 2>3 years ?
or do i need to chance something ?

yes it will last a while being able to handle newer games at max settings 1080p
but i would just save the money incase something fails since you pretty much have everything you need for a long time
or save money to upgrade to sli 970 or a i7k series later on
