ALL PRICES IN SGD. The current total cost is $1233 and i was wondering if there are better options and components for this budget of $1250 for the same specs. I'm also slightly paranoid that my components are not compatible. Since im buying from a single shop, i can only use parts from"https://www.dropbox.com/s/in6z6g0en4yjf0e/Pc%20Theme%20Pricelist.pdf"
Can you also help pick a nicer casing without exceeding the budget. Thanks in advance!!!!!

CPU: I5-4440 3.1GHZ ($224)
MotherBoard: ASUS H81M-A(micro-atx) ($109)
Memory:CORSAIR VENGEANCE 1600MHZ ( 4GBx2pcs ) CL9 ($119)
Storage:SAMSUNG EVO 120GB SSD ($149)
2nd Storage:SEAGATE 2TB 64MB SATA3 ($112)
Video Card :GIGABYTE GTX 650 2GB DDR5 ($195)
Casing: Cooler Master SILENCIO 352 MICRO CASE($89)
Power Supply :C.M XTRM 625W EXTREME($89)
DVD reader: ASUS 24X DVD-RW SATA BOX ($27)
OS: WIN7 home premium ($120)

UPDATE- I just checked out another motherboard the, ASUS B85-PLUS($165) and i feel that is would be a better component and even though it breaks my budget, should i actually splurge alittle more on it?

The original plan was for my dad to purchase a factory made computer from asus with this specs
4th gen intel i5-4440
(6m cache,3.1ghz, turbo boost up to 3.3ghz)
8gb DDR3 ram
1tb HDD
asus nvidia GT630 2GB ddr3
24xdvd-rw
usb3.0 & bluetooth 4.0 capabilities

for the price of $1200. so i convinced him that i can try to make DIY computer, and i just decided to get back the same processor as the factory made one, since i figured that 3.1ghz is good enough

His joiche is terrible because the GPU is not for gaming and too much overpriced. From the website there are 2 good options: Asrock Theme 3 and Gigabyte Theme 3 and the Gigabyte Theme is a little better. Can you also pick single parts or only systems?
