First thing, the prices between PCPartPicker and the local stores like Sim Lim and Funan would differ a little. Don't get conned at Sim Lim either lol. Also, I'm trying to choose parts that I think would be readily available in SG - though it's hard to guess.

$1200 SGD = $960 USD

PC Parts Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/21Jgx

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Microcenter)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.94 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card ($183.98 @ Newegg)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($83.98 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer ($15.00 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($84.98 @ OutletPC)
Monitor: Samsung S22C300H 21.5" Monitor ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Keyboard: Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Wired Gaming Keyboard ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder 2013 Wired Optical Mouse ($52.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $962.81
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

- Decent gaming mouse, non-mechanical keyboard
- One of the lowest cost Samsung HDMI 1080p monitors
- HD 7870 is the recommended graphics card for BF4, you can get good FPS on medium/high with that
- 8GB RAM is all you need for gaming, and the Corsair Vengeance line is one of the best

If you don't need a 'gaming' mouse and keyboard, then we can cut the price their and beef up your PC a little more (but only by $50 tops).

Hope you find this helpful!

Hey abang, I too am from SG. 7870 would be equivalent to a 660ti, but compared to it, has a very good price/performance ratio.
AMD has a very good price/performance ratio compared to Intel.

I believe those prices are in USD. They also don't include the mouse, keyboard, monitor, windows 7 OS, and optical drive. All of this deducts a lot from your $960 USD budget. Keep in mind that GPU is more important than CPU (as long as there is no bottleneck; ie, there is no super weak link within the build).

- FX 6300 is a decent performer all around but it would lose out to its pricer and costlier Intel Core i5s ($170-200 USD)
- I chose AMD CPU and GPU because of the cost-performance that it delivers
- Likewise, the HD 7870 2GB is equivalent to the GTX 660 Ti
>>> http://www.bf4blog.com/battlefield-4-retail-gpu-cpu-benchmarks/
>>> HD 7870 is just below the GTX 760 2GB at much less the cost

Like DarkReduction said, it's a tough ask but doable. Let me know if you want to change anything from the suggested build.

the price I wrote are from newegg USA so $
and he said his budget could go up to 1200$
so that leaves 247$ free enough for keyboard, mouse, speakers and windows...
darn I forgot the monitor =O

and that fx 6300 + hd 7870 in comparison with a i5 4670k on a msi z87-g45 + r9 280x would make a ridiculously huge difference if he wants to do some editing and gaming on a 1920x1080 monitor >_>

SGD = Singapore Dollars
1200 Singapore Dollars is equivalent to USD $960.

Sayken, now you know why we keep saying "SGD". The build is overbudget ;)

Hey man, it looks fine. You're probably going to Sim Lim or Funan, and they won't have the exact components that I, or you have listed, or at the same price (it could be higher for some, lower for some).

Take all these builds with a pinch of salt, and make sure you're open to alterations when you start looking for parts cause they might not carry a certain brand or a certain model.

Just heads up :)

Hey BarrothKill, that list is crazy expensive. If you do a simple price comparison it is EXPENSIVE!

MSI GTX 760 2GB is 409 SGD = 328 USD.
Newegg sells this GPU for 260 USD.

Hah Singapore inflates prices so badly... And yeah... sleep time. Someone else will help you out ;)
