I am looking to build a S$750 in Singapore but this is my first build and I am not really sure where or how to start.

Usage: mainly Gaming, surfing the net, watching streams on Twitch

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I am. No preference of brand but I am hoping for at least 21".

Do you need to buy an OS: No

Preferred websites or parts preference: Since this is my first build, I absolutely have no idea where to buy the parts or what parts are good and I think that buying these parts are difficult in Singapore as there are no online stores like Newegg.

Overclocking: Maybe

Additional comments: I really hope this PC can run all sorts of new games and be kind of future-proof

If you want to 'future proof' your computer the one thing I recommend is getting an SSD. I included an SSD in the build. If you pair this up with a Radeon AMD 7850 2GB it will be under $750. However, if an SSD is something you don't need then you can get a $50 mechanical hard drive (which will last anywhere from 1-5 years then you'll have to get a new one) and an AMD 7950 3GB, and upgrade to an SSD later.

Also, it's a great investment and insurance policy to have a good power supply. I picked you one that is affordable and can handle any high end single GPU.
