Firstly welcome to the forum!

 

Secondly make sure you follow your post so you know when people reply. 

 

Before we get started do you need a screen, OS and peripherals?

Some thing like this, you might want to get a second opinion to make sure that it all work, you might want to go with a cheaper graphics card to save money. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vhRGnQ

Well due to tax and other similar problem you might need to drop the SSD, or I'd suggest buying the SSD first and wait for your next paycheck to buy the HDD.

In Singapore I think the prices here is quite expensive an Asus 770 2gb cost 560 sgd. You can see the price list here in Singapore www.Fuwell.com.sg as reference. Some shop sells it a bit cheaper some a bit expensive but it's around that range.
