Buy at Tradepac, #05-18, 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 for a fee.

Notes:

1) Since price is no object, a R9 295X2 is included in the build to allow you to try to play Battlefield 4 at 120FPS on Ultra settings in 1080p.

They're left with Asus 980. Zotac is selling ref cards for 799 sgd i dont see any reason to go for anything higher for ref cards.

ah sorry forget to mention...i only play on 1 monitor since other 1 for minimap viewer
Not much difference. Battlefield 4 GPU benchmarks by Techspot mentions that even the GTX 980 is only capable of an average of 93 FPS at max settings.

Assuming u wan 120 fps @ 1080p constant for bf4 , gtx980 is just nice for it with a mixture of ultra/high settings

haha then i guess put a price on the rig is needed i guess since u all giving such overkill rigs..
erm... $1.5k rig ?

U say price not a issue wad :s22:

Drop to a gtx970 then, around $500 and should be able to game @ 120 fps with AA turn down or off.
