Unless otherwise stated, buy at PC Themes, #04-15, and ask for discounts. DIY yourself. If you can't into DIY, go to PC Care & Solution at #02-32 and ask Nigel to help you assemble.

Notes:

1) Take a walk around SLS and take a look at the computer casings. What is adequate to me may look ugly to you. You may want to choose your own casing.

2) Go to Cybermind or Xtreme solutions to try out the mechanical keyboards and mice. What is adequate for me may be uncomfortable to you. You may want to choose your own pheripherials.

3)Go to Cybermind or Challenger to try out the speakers there. What is adequate to me may make your ears bleed.You may want to choose your own speakers.

4)This rig is good for 1080p gaming only. If you want 1440p gaming, more money will be needed for better GPU and monitor.
