I am looking for a PC build for CS with 60-120 FPS, and my budget is 800. Wondering if anyone can recommend specs to fit this criteria. Thanks.

If u play cs, should at least get a 144hz monitor, thus fps should be getting around 200 should be fine.

At least get a i5 8400k with GTX 1070. Cs fps do increase if u have a better cpu though.

I am using i8 8700k with GTX 1080ti, very much overkill but was previously on 1440p 165hz, now downgrade to 1080p 240hz.

H310M HDV + i3 8100 @ 256
Tecware Nexus M @ 55
FSP HYPER K 500W @ 69 (non-ideal)
Kingston 8GB ram @ 115
Samsung 250GB @ 109
1050/1050ti @ 200/250

Total around 800/850.. prices from PC Themes pricelist before discounts.

I Suggest you go for 1050ti 4GB minimum.

These prices can be easily lowered, using vouchers and discounts.

Do take note dynacore doesn't entertain 1-1 exchange or provide any after sales service ,not newb friendly.

Their prices not bad though.

Well, just sharing my personal experience.. pre purchase they are very friendly.. well any place is until issue occur.

Aftersales service completely different story..
That time my item DOA so i called them up and ask for one to one exchange.. they refuse and told me go to their shop to check which of their item is like that (i guess they meant DOA). I didn't bother with their unprofessional attitude.. just go rma myself.

Not surprised or first time experience this sort of thing anyway. In sim-lim most In shops are like that.

Thank guys!! I also looked at bizgram, the price seems competitive. Was thinking if I should buy some components from Amazon Prime and Lazada for better pricing and rebates. This may work out better than purchasing from the shops.

I think they meant to ask you to go down to their shop so they can check for you, whether is DOA or not. You gotta think fair too, they are afraid of inexperience user causing non-returnable damage, or customer's choice of courier cause damage while sending over, which cannot RMA too. No one wanna run a losing business, not especially some hardwares are darn expensive like a GPU per say.

My experience is that I did exchange a corsair fan that's rattling with them within 1 week coz it's defective. I brought my receipt to them, pass the fan and all the packaging in good condition, let them test and prove its rattling and I got a new one on the spot. So, I don't get your situation. You do not want to go down to the shop and expect them to send you a new one, or what other services are you expecting from them?

At least, SLS is a lot easier to reach than most of the the distro.
