Hi,

I'm looking for a rig that can play game such as Shadow or Mordor, Dragon Age 4, Farcry 4 etc.

Budget is $2000 wireless adapter, monitor, OS, wireless keyboard and speaker.

Is this build good?

i7 4790 asus vanguard b85
kingston 8gb ddr3 1600 hyper x
msi gtx 970 4gb gaming
crucial mx100 256gb ssd
wd 1tb blue
samsung 24x dvdrw
seasonic m12 ii 620w evo
fractal design arc mini r2 with window
corsair af120mm twin pack led fan
dell s2340l 23 inch ips panel monitor

Does anyone or shop have a Build + Delivery service?

Thanks!

Reason using Wireless Adapter is because the router is quite some distance from my room.

That's why "moneyface" is recommending you to get homeplug. I'm using the 600mbps model from Sineoji though. Wifi i'm getting 30-40mbps (whether is at room or super near the router), using the homeplug i'm getting near to 100mbps. I'm using 150mbps BBP btw~ :) Cheers~

Also, wireless cards/mobo with wifi is not worth paying for. :)

Never tried before. I using singtel 150 plan.

With wifi I'm getting about 9mbps.
With homeplugav to my rig I got 30+ to 40mbps.
With homeplugav and a cheap asus router then wire to my rig I'm getting 60mbps stable.

Haha. Plus now I got solid wifi in my own room.

Used Sineoji 600 homeplugs before . I guess my home wiring is old(older HDB). So the speed im getting max 60-80. My plan is ST 300 btw.

Using wifi (5G), able to hit 200, some days higher.

It depends on which sockets your homeplugs are connected, your wiring, and whether there's any other interference(multi plugs, extension etc)

Best is same circuit, new wiring and almost no interference. This is what I know, any pro can help out too :o
