Okay I'm going to repost this because many people are confused with my parts selection.

 

This is not a hardcore gaming machine nor is it a budget end build. My current budget is around 1400USD for the tower alone (always ready to raise my budget as I'm working), the rest are used to buy my peripherals and monitor.

 

Main thing I do on my pc is using ableton and fl studio for audio creation, I also edit/create pictures and videos mainly for music cover art & audio reactor videos. The only game I play from time to time is Dota 2 & SOMETIMES Mortal Kombat. These are the reasons why I bought the 960 from galax. -> http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-960-EXOC-White-Edition-2GB--1367-MHZ-Boost-Clock_p_30.html 

 

I want to overclock, that's the reason for the AIO. And yes I know I can get cheaper key for my new windows, just putting it there.

 

I consider every part with the aesthetics in mind. This will be built 2 weeks later and all the price will vary as I'm buying the rest of my parts locally. (I live in Singapore). Now will the glorious pc master race enlighten me for one last time before I move on from my i5-2410M + 410M 5 year old laptop.

I think you just mean more Vram

[MRE Teck]

First make the ram at least 2666mhz fast, get an hdd, odd video card brand, but over all seems good

Why would he need faster ram?  The ram is fine.  He might just want fast loading?  The brand is good.

Okay I will find the ram with the fastest speed when I'm buying it! Yes I'm planning to get a HDD & custom cables next month when the boss decide to pay me.

 

They are known to produce pretty impressive high end Nvidia cards though.

I will get the faster ram if the price difference is low!
