Hi, i did some research a few days ago for parts for my custom build pc. This are the results for the research
CPU = Intel i5 1155 (2310)
Mobo = Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3
RAM = Kingston DDR3 PC1333 2x2GB
HDD = Samsung SATA2 500gb 3.5"
Casing = Coolermaster Elite 310
PSU = Icute 450w
GPU = Nvidia GeForce GT 240 (Got it from my old computer)
CD Drive = LG GH22 22x Super-Multi DVD-RW (Got it from my old computer)
Total price = $560 without OS (Prices from http://www.bizgram.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=58&view=finish&cid=228&catid=5 )
Is this good? Any suggestions on other brands or parts to replace the parts listed above.
And should i buy the OEM or the retail version of Window 7?
Recommend me on which shop to get it build in SLS(Sim Lim Square) please!
Thanks

CPU = Intel i5 1155 (2310) Not gaming? Then go for an i3 2100. So much cheaper.
Mobo = Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3
RAM = Kingston DDR3 PC1333 2x2GB
HDD = Samsung SATA2 500gb 3.5" I'd rather you take a Hitachi 500 or WD Blue 500.
Casing = Coolermaster Elite 310 Get an mATX case like the Elite 341. Cheaper, better.
PSU = Icute 450w Piece of shit. Spend $35 on a 300W FSP from Chamoxa. It's proper.
GPU = Nvidia GeForce GT 240 (Got it from my old computer)
CD Drive = LG GH22 22x Super-Multi DVD-RW (Got it from my old computer)
Get the OEM version. Cheaper and there's no difference unless you upgrade your hardware often.
Get all your parts from PCThemes, and the power supply I mentioned (FSP ATX-300 with Active PFC) from Chamoxa. Bizgram fails.
That, or I can do all that for you + cable management, for a small fee. I believe SLS charges the same fees too.

I am a gamer so i5 would be apporiate for me. But i found out another processor: AMD Phemon 4X 945 that is cheaper than the i5. So which is better?
thanks for the reply anyway!
For gaming, an Athlon II X4 640 will do.
It's not like you're doing intensive stuff, so the L3 cache of the X4 945 is completely pointless.
And you probably won't be overclocking, looking at the kind of hardware you originally picked, so why don't you get this instead.
Athlon II X4 640
Asus M4A88T-M
2x 2GB KVR1333D3N9
WD Caviar Blue 500GB (Or Hitachi DeskStar 500GB if you want cheap)
FSP Aurum AU-400 power supply
CoolerMaster Elite 341 Chassis
Sell that GT240 and pick up a better card like a HD 5770 or HD 6790.

Okay thanks for the suggestions! Will look into the price and consider
