Asrock H81M-HDS + i5 4460 302 tradepac
kingston 8gb PC1600 DDR3 44 tradepac
FSP Hex 550w 80+ 69 lazada
Kingston 120gb SSD 54 tradepac
GTX 970 (2nd hand) 380 carousell
Cheap Casing 20 Anyone knows where can get cheap casing?
Total 869

trying to build a gaming PC (ex OS and Screen) for a fren at <900.
Main game is dota2 but should be able to support most modern games at 1080p high.

decided to go w socket 1150 since much cheaper than 1151.
chances are there wont be any incremental upgrades anyway.
mainboard+cpu pricing from tradepac is quite unbeatable.

im just thinking whether it makes sense to lazada ssd,psu,ram. there's some card discount right?

Don't get the kingston v300, bad performance. Can consider used r9 290 instead for gpu, they're usually around mid/high-$200s and perform only slightly worse than gtx 970. Saw a bunch of used coolermaster elite 311s used for $15 at carousell a few months back, can consider that for case. Otherwise its $24 for the cheapest matx case at cashtronic.

What's the $24 case at Cashtronic? Any pic?

Tradepac cpu+mobo pricing is for bundle pricing, meaning buy whole PC. If just cpu+mobo alone, it should cost +$30 more or so.

Lol, then TS have to ask lor. But at least, he is mentally prepared for it if it doesnt work for him.

get this 450W instead of 550W: http://www.lazada.sg/fsp-hexa-450w-80-159163.html

another one is to get GTX 950 if u still wanna cut some more.
