Hi, i am looking to buy a slightly above average gaming pc, maybe just enough to play games like gta 5, just cause 3, witcher and etc...

i am looking to build a custom pc on my own but i am not sure what hardware to buy and would appreciate if hwzers are able to recommend me the parts.

I am building the pc from scratch so i will need help in recommending of a full set of cpu. No current budget in mind but not looking to buy super high-end graphic cards


thank you!

What level of gaming image quality settings are you looking at?

Any preference for colour scheme? E.g. Black with White/Red/Blue/Green/Gold/etc…
Need any of these within the budget?

Windows
Monitor
Speaker
Keyboard
Mouse
WiFi adapter

Placing PC on table or floor?
Any physical dimension constraint at your PC holding area?

Will your monitor screen position be facing any bright light source like window?

Which internet provider plan and router are you using?
Is your home in a relatively new apartment built in the past 8 years?
How far is your upcoming PC located from the router?
Any obstruction between your PC and router?

Need any of these within the budget? colour is not a consideration to me, any colour will do. Preferably the one with the least cost

Windows no
Monitor no
Speaker no
Keyboard no
Mouse no
WiFi adapter no

Placing PC on table or floor?
Any physical dimension constraint at your PC holding area? playing on a big table, with my current comp setup, there is still allowance for 1 comp

Will your monitor screen position be facing any bright light source like window? nope

Which internet provider plan and router are you using? Singtel, the miotv thingy
Is your home in a relatively new apartment built in the past 8 years? nope, old apartment. built for more than a decade

If PC to be placed on the floor, better for power/reset button and I/O ports to be on the top of chassis for easier access.

And i meant monitor screen to avoid glaring from any bright light source.
