Hi everyone,

Someone helped to assemble this for me but we are no longer close so i'm paiseh to ask for help from said person. I intend to switch out some components such as the CPU+MB and GPU and I am looking to spend about 1000-1100sgd. I am looking to play GTA 5 on my pc and looking forward to fallout 4 and XCOM 2. I don't intend to OC the rig. Thanks!

You are sharp to have noticed. I bought it from Amazon this year. I am not knowledgeable when it comes to pc components, but I read up online and found installing a SSD to be do-able. I was hoping it would provide some performance boost to help with vehicle driving lag when I played far cry 4.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I would definitely upgrade my PSU first on all your recommendations.

But if you can choose, try to avoid their low-mid range series. Their high-end ones are perfectly fine, but still ironically overpriced compared to PSUs sold directly by manufacturers who in fact produce these very same PSUs for Cooler Master.
