Must tell us whether you need monitor keyboard windows etc. And what kind of games you wanna play at what settings.

Quite rare to find in sg and pretty sure all S340 hace side windows.

What's the usage? I7 pretty much not much improvement for gaming.

You won't get anything worth it when you are setting aside 1.4k for a i7 machine. Which is impossible.

Sorry forgot to mention, just need the PC coz i already have mouse, keyboard n monitor n all. And for the games, no details yet but basically Call of Duty.

Ouu okok no worries, I'll source out the Casing from somewhere else then.
And the reason i pick i7 is because i do occasionally do Video editing so it'll help with the render with the compromise of not getting a pro gfx card like Quadro. Extra cores would help i believe.

That's what I thought too... just trying my luck. But please do take a look at the reply above, thats the reason why i wanted an i7. Anyways, I will consider bumping the budget to get a decent i7 for the extra cores.

Took a look at the stickied post (PC Buyer's Guide II) last updated Nov 2014. Looks like the entry level i7 system is above $2000+

Skylake i7 would definitely help with the Video editing part im gonna do...

Whats your suggestion for the budget for a Skylake i7, considering to "maximise" the benefits of Skylake as compared to Haswell, im guessing the GFX card in a way has to be on par?

Video editing will be aided by HT but it's not by much. You must consider the price difference (More than 200$!) before committing.
