Notes:
1) Due to severe lack of budget, this rig comes with an i3 4160 and no SSD. If you are unable to spare another $60 for this rig, get a Zotac GTX 660 Synergy Edition for $189 instead. The GTX 660 is likely to be able to play Battlefield 4 at Medium settings in 1080p only though.
2) This rig should be capable of playing Battlefield 4 at High settings in 1080p.
3) Got Mastercard? Consider buying the GPU and case from lazada.com on a Monday and get 10% discounts when you pay with a Mastercard.
