Hey. I'm looking to get a new build. And I was wondering if you guys could help me :) . I am looking to get a build with Win 7 ( whats the diff between pro and home? ) and a 23" ish monitor. This would all be included in the price. Including the shipping ( if needed ). I'm looking for a Intel processor, and a AMD Raedon graphics card, mainly because its better value for money. Thanks! This desktop will be mainly be used for gaming but will be used for rendering videos and recording them from time to time. If possible, I would like to buy from a website that offers building services as I'm both stupid and lazy. Thanks a bunch!

Building services usually cost a lot and I would not recommend doing so, maybe bring it to your local hardware store to build.

What is your budget and what site do you prefer to order it from?

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Soon :)

Budget Range: $2250 Singapore dollars. Includes shipping.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, rendering videos, video recording, movie watching, surfing the internet

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: Yes


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: The cheapest legit one :)

Location: Singapore.

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, for graphics card, the best bang for buck ( generally AMD )

Overclocking: If I find out how to.

SLI or Crossfire: Possibly in the future when upgrading.


And when I said building services, I meant its prebuilt then shipped. The other way round is fine, but its inconvenient.

I have no idea where I can find a good Singaporean website to order from, so I'll just use UK because that's the closest one to you that I know sadly.
This is pretty much exactly on budget, I may have passed it a little bit for the bigger monitor.

I can't find anything where you can prebuilt ship it so get a local hardware store to do it.

This build can overclock lightly because it has AIR cooling; it is however fully overclockable.

Big 24" monitor and the best rendering+gaming combined CPU you will get. 16GB ram due to the rendering, you can in the future also add another 760 GTX and be fine with this power supply.
