Hi guys. Looking to get a build from pc themes. Any suggestions would be appreciated as no matter how I do it it comes up to 1.6k.


Just cpu without windows and would like to get the GPU from them as well. Use case is gaming on 1080p monitor.

Don't want hassle? Buy from manufacturers ba. U are better off with warranty than building diy

You do know that apart from the Mobo+CPU bundle, the rest of the prices are at SRP right?

since you're looking for best bang for buck build, why don't consider buying parts online and building it yourself?

U cannot have the best of both worlds and eat it. If anything happens to your diy PC, u are expected to solve it yourself or pay money to find an expert.

If u buy pre-built, u have warranty but won't get the best pieces. The best bang for buck is online shopping, not some sls price list.

Get value ram.
Get cheaper casing like tecware or deepcool.
Above 2 will save about 100 Liao.
Gfx drop to 1060 3gb. But also depends what game your sis play lo.

At that budget you can get more than what you're picking currently. If you're afraid of hassle, try get the core of the machine built there at a shop. Pay up the assembly fee, ask that they leave the relevant power cables plugged and routed properly so she can drop in the remaining parts bought online easily.
(i.e. 1x GPU 6/8pin, SATA power + data)

Items below get online and stack discount coupons:

• SSD, maybe HDD too
• GPU
• Maybe RAM
• OS

Already quite straight forward and you can save some and yet meet the same objective since you want to reduce the hassle factor. RX480 8GB/1060 6GB can be obtained at comparable or similar prices (online) but the MSI model is not one of them. Mobo choice MSI H110i AC (with AC867 WiFi) will meet the same objective at a lower price point. Or alternatively, most buy online and you fix for your sis.. hassle factor will be gone.

Maybe TS doesn't know how to build so let him be lor.
