Hey guys,

I would like to build a gaming rig (budget around 1-1.1k) with OS, without monitor.
I play games such as dota 2, cs, cod, bf4. Don't have to run on ultra or what, but playable with like med-high.
First-timer here, so I'm hoping if you guys can recommend me shops that can help assemble as well?

Thanks in advance for helping :)

cooler master axe plus 500w = $60 via hwz
500gb Toshiba hdd = $63
250gb Samsung ssd = $206 via Amazon
Cooler master elite 130 chassis = $90
2 x Kingston 4gb ram = $82
Asus gtx660 = $270 via hwz

Had os and used my tv as monitor.

Just try mynextcom.

If you wanna save up more do your homework then try your luck in tradepac. May be able to ask for free assembly also.

Furthermore might be able to squeeze in a budget SSD

Asrock B75M DGS + i5-3350p ~ $271
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz ~ $89
Toshiba 500gb 7200rpm ~ $60
Silicon Power V60 120gb ~ $120
Zotac GTX760 2gb + Superflower HX500 500w 80+ Gold ~ $399
CM 311 ~ $52
Samsung ODD ~ $21
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM ~ $115

Total ~ $1127 Buy at tradepac. DIY

Add $20 to assembly fee. (see on negotiation skills and might be able to get it done for free)

MNC is reliable la... or are you affliated with other shops?

U see me affiliate with any shop meh? What I am giving is personal experience, u all dunno about MNC. His graphic card motherboard when u know him well can exchange after u use, he will seal it put in box and sell it as new. U just add on price for new graphic card u want if condition is good. (Like I say if u know him well)

Many patterns up his sleeves, he pull on others nvm but until he try to screw one of my client i bring in then i really dulan until forever dont step into his shop

This kind of small small things u are safe la... next time buy from sls make sure they show box and open infront of u sealed package. I will never trust MNC. As my fren was building a extreme high end pc, he jump the price up by $500. I know I can get even cheaper from every single shop pricing from tradepac and still can ask for further price discount. When I try to stop him from quoting my fren, he say give me 100 commission and let him tok. smlj, tok my fren $500 and give me 100 think i first day sls. lol

Before that, his shop is call alpha digitech. Those oldies from sls will know how he play patterns. If he can chop you, his face will smile like sibei friendly, when he realise cannot chop he will bochup u.

I'm talking about high end system, walk in diy, if u happy with their online pricing then no chop la, usually for parts u wont get chop, but if build full rig, best price still tradepac, video pro not bad also... but inside item new or not, i cannot say anything because i use to get the free "topup" upgrade from him and items old resold as new haha

Shops like VP and tradepac have their fair share of 'patterns'. Doesn't just apply to MNC.

So long story short, know your stuff when buying things. Applies to all stores, different merchandise. For guys. Usually will do research before buying anything.
