>**What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.**

Heavy-ish gaming. Guild Wars 2, Rift, Battlefield 4, Dota 2, League and other AAA titles such as Watchdogs, Witcher, Tomb Raider etc

>**What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?**

1800 Singapore Dollars/~1440 US Dollars/~1110 Euros

>**When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.**

As soon as I can - a week from now hopefully

>**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)**

Possibly the case, even though I already have a midtower. Most likely monitors. I currently using [this](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) 1200p monitor with my current build.

>**Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?**

Singapore. Possible sites are Newegg.com.sg

Also a few price lists here (sorry about the quality, some are better than others): https://mega.co.nz/#F!MMxzBTzS!wvHpFH7RJpCriTY9-8j8_A

>**If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.**

This is my current build:

Samsung T260 25.5" Monitor


Corsair GS800W PSU

Corsair 1 x 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3 Ram stick

Samsung 500 GB HDD

GA Z78X D3H motherboard

Gainward GTX770 4GB

i5-4670k

I'm up to reusing anything that can be reused, but also not against just buying most things new such as a motherboard and GPU for example

>**Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?**

Probably down the line.

>**Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)**

Small SSD and a decent amount of storage, 1TB+

>**Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?**

Nope

>**Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?**

Nope
>**Extra info or particulars:**

I am not really satisfied with my current build. I don't know what's going wrong but the 770 doesn't seem to be doing the trick and doesn't perform nearly as good as most benchmarks. I'm looking at getting the G1 GTX970, and two monitors and for that I'm up for suggestions on what I should replace such as more RAM, new motherboard etc or anything else

Thanks!

Your rig is still good for gaming ! GTX 970 4GB will give you an improvement of 37% over GTX 770 4GB . SLI will be the fastest option but will cause a lot of trouble - some games will stutter hugely .
