Budget Gaming PC Build.

CPU AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core $102.59
Motherboard Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ $84.99
Memory G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 $43.92
Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $59.98
Video Card XFX Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB $89.99
Case NZXT Source 210 Elite (White) ATX Mid Tower $44.99
Power Supply Corsair 430W ATX12V $19.99
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) $82.98
Monitor Asus VS238H-P 23.0" $147.58(ALL PRICES IN USD)

May I know where can I get all these parts?

I tried ordering online from Amazon and only the Motherboard couldn't be shipped to SG -.- so I was wondering if any shops in SG has the MOBO.

PS. What is this Potential Issues/Incompatibilities?
Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.

All this can get from SLS. And im not surprise it will be slightly cheaper with warranty. Why not give us a budget you looking at so that we can help you.

My budget is SGD1000. Just looking for something really affordable to put together and start gaming.

I heard that SLS the stores over there sell their items at a cut-throat price? Is that true?

And have you guys ordered anything online? Did it almost always come damaged?

Roy, can you give me a price check for the build I've posted? If I can have a gaming rig even cheaper, then I'll go with the cheaper one.

Really want to just have a usable gaming PC.

I prefer Asus product more too.

I just recommended something better than you have in mind. Not forgetting the gpu is a few tiers higher. A better cpu also.

And fyi you are doing the impossible. Monitors. Motherboards. Cassing. All this could not be shipped to sg. You must use a forwarder to forward it to sg. And that will cost you a bomb. Its not gonna be cheap.

Not forgetting buying the whole rig in overseas is not advisable also.

Choosing AMD platform is already a wrong path to begin with. :o

And read this to find out more about ASRock...

Wow you're saying the entire sls is selling overpriced items. I think your idea of amazon + third party forwarder + no local warranty for bulk item = real throat cutter.

If everything can buy from amazon, sls would die a slow death.

It's only cutthroat if you allow yourself to be. And yes, did you even consider the shipping?

An item can arrive intact and still not work on first bootup. That's the luck of the draw. And hoping it doesn't die because you're going to have to send back the items to US for any warranty claims.
