Please be realistic. You won't get all those for 1k. Maybe not even if you go 2nd hand.

As you have listed, monitor + cpu + gpu already exceed your budget. Please review your new budget or lower your expectations.

https://www.newegg.com/global/sg-en/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3889207

AMD RYZEN 5 2600 + ASRock B450 PRO4 AM4 = S$350.08 and free shipping.

You buy local 300+195 = $495(almost S$500)

Buy online save S$150.00 can allow you buy better monitor!:D:D

Anyone kind to share what are the benefits (other than looks) to go for MSI gaming pro carbon ac vs. say for example bazooka plus or tomahawk? Cause the prices are slightly higher for the different models which I may or may not need the additional features.

Eg. basic features I need: 4 ram slots, 1 x m.2 drive slot, 1 x PCI-E for GFX. ATX or mATX both ok
