Buy at PC Themes, #04-15, and ask for discounts. DIY yourself. If you can't into DIY, get PC Themes to assemble for you for a fee.

Notes:

1) This rig is highly capable of playing the latest games and upcoming games smoothly in 1080p in High-Ultra settings. (Mostly Ultra, unless the game is very new or very poorly optimised.)

2) Got Mastercard? Buy the GPU, SSD and the PSU from lazada.com on a Monday and get 10% discounts when you pay with a Mastercard. Do note that discounts are capped at $50 per transaction and you will need to buy the items seperately.

3) Consider waiting for SITEX and buy a Dell S2340L at a much cheaper price at SITEX.
