1TB 7200RPM
ZOTAC GTX 1080 8GB DUAL FAN
EVGA GD 650W 80+ GOLD

Also for FPS gaming, is it no 144Hz monitor no talk?

Is TN panel really bad compared to IPS?

Thanks in advance!

No, if you know how to build yourself.

Yes, if you dont know how to build yourself.

You can source for parts at pc theme ask them assemble for $10~20

It is more like no $$ no talk.

Anyway, if you are open to learning to DIY, you can learn from youtube channels. Loads of informative guide. Can also state your budget, games u want play, other wants, etc.

Its not that cheap for pc theme, should be ard $50. Then again, best not to give false hope to TS and let him ownself go ask.

Crucial mx500 250gb now got promo.

Also for shopee shopback, my understanding from CSO is that the rebates are capped at $4. I believe its for per purchase or order. If other platforms got better deal, then go for it coz shopback need 60 days at least to draw out and min $10.

Yep capped at $4 per order. Have to buy separately. Can get the mx500 from lazada instead since there's promo over there and utilise liveup rebate.

Serving NS now but freaking bored so decided to get a gaming computer

Mostly for gaming(FPS games) since I have a MBP for other purposes
Budget around 2K bah(found the above built from those custom desktop building online and saw his reviews not bad)

Planning to get PRISM+ X240(for its 144Hz) and Tecware Phantom Keyboard

Add up around 2.4K hopefully it's not overkill(only playing every bookout x_x)

 

[singupingu]

Nope. Not overkill. In fact, very good match of i7-8700, gtx 1080 with 144hz 1080p, though preferably to have 16gb RAM as well

Which shop is it from? I only know tradepac's listed cpu+mobo combo price is for full rig only. Standalone combo is different price 8700+B360 for $596 is a really good price.

Sim lim square having price war between retailers now. Used to be only indian shops throwing price. But pct cybermind infinity fuwell is also going at it now. Cpu+Mb bundle pricing is actually sold below cost at the moment.

Is there a reason for the price war? I assume only CPU and mobo selling below cost? While everything else are selling at normal price?

 

[ragnarok95]

You sure selling below cost bo?

No shop in SLS will sell below cost one le.

With your connections should be easy to verify if it's true or not. But it's only for cpu+mb bundle.
