[DIY] Require suggestions on CPU parts

[nickivan]

Hello! I am attempting to build my own computer but I lack the experience of selecting the parts needed. I need some suggestions of what parts to get inclusive of a monitor. My budget is around 3k-4k SGD and i plan to make a gaming computer(with/without accessories) that is able to run the newest games(Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor)at high graphics smoothly but also still be able to play some old games such as Dota 2 and CS:GO without problems. Thanks and please do give any ideas that you have.

2) As your budget is excessively generous, you may wish to take a walk around SLS and check out the casings and monitors displayed there and to try out the keyboards and mices being displayed there. Opinions may vary widely among different people pertaining these things and you may want to find something that suits you better than what is suggested.
