whoa what a generous budget if you can wait, hoot from amazon SSD first



Crucial 480gb -269 ~ $345sgd

Amazon.com: Crucial M500 480GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal Solid State Drive CT480M500SSD1: Computers & Accessories

too small for you can hoot the 960gb one @ 439usd (439 * 1.285*1.07) = $603 sgd

yah enough, my 80GB de now crying for space

 

[royfrosty]

Then throw in a 480gb ssd will do.

 

[Jian19]

Why not gtx780 sli ?

 

[EatSnakeWarrior]

Why not gtx780 sli ?

whats the local price for a 780 ti?

 

[royfrosty]

you reckon it would be better to stick to single card or a sli would be better?

 

[royfrosty]

you reckon it would be better to stick to single card or a sli would be better?

I would say a single card for 1080p resolution is more than enough.

If going for 1440p this single card is still kick a$$.

SLI this card can go 4k liao. lol

 

[ryuxdragonx]

With SLI you'll spend a lot more on power and your psu.

Unless you're a heavy gamer who wants only the absolute best, I think just get the best single GPU you can which makes upgrading in the future simpler. Besides, you're just running a single panel right?

 

[Lil_d3viLz]

3500 :O Got lobang job bo? Haha.
Single gpu will do.
Play around with watercooling, lightings, fans, blingbling, modding , custom casing.

 

[SuPeR_NoVa]

looking to water cooling also,hmmm

 

[ryuxdragonx]

If you're talking about the closed loop WC then I think don't bother haha, unless you need WC. If you wanna try doing water cooling for fun, custom loop is a lot more rewarding haha. Go for an 800D or 900D monster uh, fun for builders

If you want to play with lighting, check out the NZXT RGB hue thingy. It's a little pricey but makes your custom PC very bling bling
