Mervin Lim :

I'm not sure how much help this is, but here are a couple of links. I'm not exactly sure on Singapore prices or reputable retailers for there. I used PC part picker to put these together. I used Australia as the country because I figured pricing and availability would be similar to Singapore.

If you have any questions, just ask.

The AMD build has a better GPU because it had the price decrease on the processor to be able to afford one. It should be able to play GTA V at 60 fps in 1080p with no issue.

I haven't included an SSD to save money and put it on the GTX 970. Better have better graphics than lowering wait times by a bit. You can save like 60$ and get one whenever you have the money.

Here's a build with a better motherboard and PSU. Please note that an aftermarket CPU cooler is not necessary for a non-overclocking CPU.

Parts List.

Or go for this AMD Build

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VGXrsY

I think OP will be able to get the AMD Build suggested above. All these parts are available all over Asia. I know because I am from India. If I can get these parts here, it will most probably be available anywhere in Asia. The question is the price difference.

Vaggos :

This doesn't link to anything.

Vaggos · Jun 9, 2015

lol. sorry i m from mobile and its kinda difficult. can u see it now?

senseijtitus · Jun 9, 2015

That part list is good. But the PSU I would say should be better. I would not suggest a Corsair PSU.

Vaggos · Jun 9, 2015

not all the corsair psu's are bad

but i know what u mean. then add 10-20 $ more for a better one

senseijtitus · Jun 9, 2015

Antec EarthWatts Green 650W is a good efficient PSU. So is High Current Gamer 620W.

Vaggos · Jun 9, 2015

or g650m from coolermaster

senseijtitus · Jun 9, 2015

I will definitely not suggest Cooler master PSUs. They are known to use low quality Capacitors.

zared619 · Jun 9, 2015

These are all good builds, but OP is in Singapore, so none of these builds, with the exception of maybe mine (still not sure on the price difference / availibilty between Australia and Singapore), are relevant to what the OP can have access to.

Vaggos · Jun 9, 2015

coolermaster are one of the best brand depending the model of the psu

The best PSU's are in this order. Never buy anything that isn't one of these

1. Seasonic
2. XFX
3. Silverstone (Could be 2, but I consider XFX to be more price efficient)
4. EVGA
5. Antec/Corsair (they both have some bad models)
6. Everything else that you don't want to buy.

Cooler Master makes good cases, coolers, and some peripherals. Don't buy their PSU's. I'm sure some are decent, but go with the tried, tested, and trusted brands.

Vaggos · Jun 9, 2015

this isn't a very good mobo though

senseijtitus · Jun 9, 2015

Please check the PSU Tier List which is from this forum its self.

Vaggos · Jun 9, 2015

ofc not all models are good but many gopd bramds have bad psu(usually the cheap ones

senseijtitus · Jun 9, 2015

That is the same Mobo I am using with an FX6300 and works well enough. I do 3D modelling & Rendering with my rig. It is pretty decent and is one of the very few MOBOs in this price catagory with a VRM Heat sink. Also capable of overclocking since max TDP is 125 Watts.
