Joseph22 Turbocharged October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 Even for higher end builds I also spend the least on the case. Only spend more for the case if still within budget after getting all the desired parts. Nowadays even the cheap cases also not too bad already. I am using this case DIYPC FM08-Blue2 Black Computer Case. IIRC around $50 only. If you do not have problem with heating. of course you wont need to get a good casing. Anyway, not necessary for gaming casing too. just need a full tower if facing heating problem often. BTW a good casing can be recycle so its doesn't really cost a lot if you consider that you can used it for another 20 years? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 Ha like I said. Every part had been swapped out over a course of 2 to 3 years. Psu is a seasonic. Last one should be some cm one. After few months sure got some failure to boot or shutdown or reboot after boot up. Software issue la. My wife also likes to click on some rubbish pop-ups and has all sorts of spyware installed.

Vid Hypersonic October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I am currently looking for gaming desktop but not alienware? Thinking of getting at sim lim square for those custom made in the shop. Any bro got any good recommendation which shop do good gaming desktop? Get it built at sim lim sq lor at Fuwell, Cashtronic or PC Themes. Get a decent i7 processor and a solid graphics card, at least a GTX760. RAM at least 16GB, best to go for 32GB. SSD no less than 256GB. This config can last a long time already. And got extra budget should also invest in a good cooling system. Make sure the CPU casing not too small for good ventilation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLZT 6th Gear October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 You can contact this guy to quote you. He will go over to your house and build the PC for you. Quite highly recommended on HWZ. Ivan HP: 96667754 [email protected] http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/hardware-clinic-2/fortran-still-around-3286128-11.html Yeah, he got very good after sales service also. I've built 2 desktops from him in the past 4years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 Yeah, he got very good after sales service also. I've built 2 desktops from him in the past 4years. Actually, I've never built anything with him before as I always prefer to buy my own parts and DIY. But I've purchased some other misc components from him before and he seems reliable. Of course, his feedback on HWZ has been generally good so far so I would recommend him for someone who doesn't know how to DIY and wants to avoid the hassle of going down to SLS (and trying not to get cheated).
