Ok i tried this and it allowed me to enter the Bios , now i m pretty sure i have to uopdate my bios, the build date from my current one is like 2013 Thank you both for your advice Cheers

In the start i had a ROG Cg8480 from late 2012 , System specs were Intel 3770k , GTX640 , 700w PSU , 1 TB hDD and windows 8. Mobo is Asus P8Z77-M The issues only came after I upgraded my GPU to a MSI GTX 970 4g gaming . Immediately after i had changed the GPU, my computer would always say , Reboot and select proper boot device . I then went to the UEFI Bios and checked the boot priority , everything was ok , it could detect my HDD , but when booted into it , it would still say Reboot and select proper boot device . So then i tried booting into windows boot manager , and it worked. But after a while my system crashed and said Kernal Inpage Data Error, i restarted my system afterwards and everything worked fine , then the next day my computer crashed again and this time said Critcal Process Died and now when i try to reboot my system , i cant even get into my UEFI bios and the screen that is suppose to say 'Reboot and select Proper boot device' instead shows nothing except the blinking line. Thing I have tried I have tried to enter the UEFI by rebooting my system a few times but it doesnt work At this point i am really not sure what i can do anymore , so any help guys provide will be greatly appreciated

I would actually look for an OS form another Shop, but cuz i m buying so much from one store , i would also get lower prices on my other parts , But i did find one for S$128 instead

I know the OS is over Priced ... that thats the pricing of OS in my country , n ram prices iun my country are standardized somwhat... i chose this one cuz it matches the build

then just change it to a slightly more expensive asus board

Then he may wanna wait for the GTX 960 ... see how that does

For your budget , i dont think that a SSD is all that important and i feel that a 2TB HDD shud be okay for now , u may wanna add an SSD later on

I think that this would be a pretty competent PC for that price range , You can use the 250gb SSD to store all ur Games and the HDD for general Storage. I used a Single 140mm radiator so that you would be able to get some decent OCs on ur 4960k , MOBOs dont really matter all that much , i chose the case cuz it looked decent n it was ATX . Hope u Like it

I am from Singapore (Somewhere in South-East Asia) , the two main stores i m buying from 2 shops , I m buying MOBO and Case + PSU bundle from PC theme , the rest are from TradePAC . http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/priceLists (Here is the link for the price list if you are interested)

OK Hey Guys Thanks For Looking At This Post , Its my first time trying to make a build and i would like to see some of your advice and opinions on it. I am from Singapore by the way. OH yeah I wanna make this black and red themed , My budget for this build/upgrade is about S$2300 CPU : i7 #3770k (S$0) i want to reuse this CPU from my Previous Prebuilt ASUS tower MOBO : ASRock Extreme Killer 4 (S$188) I chose this cuz its the only MOBO i could find from the Stores in my country RAM : Cosair Vengeance Pro 1866MHz 8Gb x2 (S$226) I chose this RAM as it fits the Black and Red theme of my build Storage : 250GB Samsung 840 Evo (S$164) And Seagate Barracuda 2TB (S$108) I usually hear from Linus' videos that this is a decent setup GPU : 2 X MSI GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozer (S$555 X 2) I chose this as i remember Linus saying that this is a pretty decent setup and its colour. PSU : SeaSonic M12ii 750w Bronze ($?) This does not have a Price as it comes in a bundle with my H440 Case Case : NZXT H440 Black and Red (S$316) I chose this as it has a window and its Black and Red OS : Windows 8.1 OEM (S$ 138) I will mainly use this PC for gaming , I currently am using a ASUS monitor (No clue what model it is ) that is 1080p , i m thinking of upgrading to 1440p later on. So what do u guys think , where do u guys think i can save a bit of money . Thanks Guys for your time and words
