I used to DIY my PC too. However, I just buy off the shelf today.

If you work out the cost, it is about the same. Moreover, you do not have to worry about any of the parts breaking. I have ever travel up and down Sim Lim several time because of RAM problem.

good point.

but those pcs bought from shelves, some parts may not be what you wanted.

but if you diyed, you get all wanted parts right?

go to sim lim, buy everthing from one shop ( look for the shop that offers generally cheaper prices) then ask them to help assemble... some shop do it for free, some for maybe $20

if you are hunting for a local assembled at Sim Lim, make sure to check if they offer AGP card or slot for future upgrade.

I went cheapo some time back and now the Intel Extreme Graphic can't play alot of FPS games

get those with at least 2 fans on casing, top and side.

also they are already using those exhaust duct with large fan for the cpu.

If you intend to overclocked, water-cooled.

How can you enjoy your game without a good monitor and good speakers..

No body seems to mentioned that?
