If not planning to overlock might as well drop your processor and mobo and get a better gpu

I5 + r9-390x or I7 (k series) + 970 for gaming both abt same price . for me I chose I5 with better gpu

Get 6600K skylake.
As good if not better than 4790K in games

Save the $150 and move up the GPU to EVGA GTX980 at Amazon with free shipping and international warranty.

New chipset may not be the best option for a newbie.

980 at $575++ on Amazon is good also, but does it has warranty in sg ?

nope buy from amazon means have to either ship back to amazon or back to manufacturer which is normally in taiwan

Cpu + motherboard buy local.

R9 390X local selling ard S$600 plus only.

Few things to change.

You wont need a unlock chip to get the most of it. Are you intending to overclock, are you intending to use any of skylakes offering such as m.2 or any other features?

If not you can wait slightly a little longer for skylake to come out with locked version i5 and more upcoming b150 and h170 motherboards to reduce the overall substantial savings.

I dont see why people die die must get a unlocked version when just because in the market only got z170. It is like forcing people just to buy high end board + processor.

TS. Things to note, you can wait for more stuffs to roll in.

Board + cpu buy locally to get the bundle discounts. No point buying it separate.

390x would be a better buy in local. If you can save up for board + cpu, you could land yourself with a 980ti instead.

But question is do you intend to go high res gaming? If so then invest on a 2k res monitor.
