If buy from Fuwell, can prepare for potential carrot blending

Standard recommendation: PC Themes as you are a newbie.

You may also want to try mynextcom. Several people had been giving good reviews about their service. I personally notice them for their free delivery service, and quite a number of their prices for parts listed online are competitive

For $1100 OC is out of the question.

Asrock B75m dgs + i5-3470 ~ $292
Kingston Value Ram 8gb ~ $81
WD Blue 1tb ~ $81
Plextor m5s 128gb ~ $139
Powercolor 7870 2gb myst ~ $290
Coolermaster 311 + FSP Hexa 500W ~ $108
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM ~ $115

ODD optional @ $21

Total $1106 no ODD. If you wanna drop the idea of having an SSD then you can get a slightly better gfx card. Buy from tradepac and DIY yourself.

Prices are still cheaper in Tradepac over PC themes. But if you Kiasi type then go for PC themes but be prepared to pay slightly more.

Fuwell staff itself can kill you. Keep recommending higher and higher. Those whom are new confirm too psycho to get higher stuffs.

I think can take out the ssd and up the gpu to a 760 or a 7970 bah, ssd basically is a faster storage drive. Your loading time is decreased. If you put OS into it, your boot time faster. Depend on what games you play, If those not very timing-demanding one then can just go with a 2TB HDD

Sorry to burst your bubble, nothing is free in Singapore.

$10

Maybe can still find people that build PC as a hobby. They might build for you free just to gain experience. I'm still a noob, so I don't dare to build for you, otherwise I will be more than happy to help. Hahaha

Last I checked with PC Themes, $10 for assembly and $10 for software installation.

Usually $10. Or FOC if you bargain. Tradepac and PC Themes can bargain for free assembly. Mynextcom got free home delivery, no idea about assembly charge though
