Welcome to the ROG forum!

Not sure what exactly you are asking for...

You need somebody to build your system in Singapore? Or just an idea where exactly to buy these hardwares in Singapore?

Having no clue about the second question, but regarding the first one I can tell you that in this forum you will be able to find enough support to build your system by yourself.

Based on the given specs, that build will be a strong one!

Regarding the memories, my suggestion is to use a kit which is recommended either on the Asus site or was tried by the memory manufacturer. Most people these days are going with the GSkill memories and they work fine, so if you choose a kit from their recommended ones, you cannot go too wrong... It's just select carefully - you also could check around in this forum to see what other people are using...

Regarding the PSU: you have to clarify for what do you want to use your computer? Because if you're going to OC it, 660W may not be enough... even without OC, you're getting close to that Seasonic's upper limit... The thing is that you may want to have a little bit higher rated PSU then your system's actual need.

i've actually run through the forums almost on all section. i also read about the asus z77 boards also having problems as well with memories being installed on it. Let alone phoebus and the vulcan headset is having issues as well at the moment but i tend to believe in asus because it has never failed me once at all and i was satisfied with it.

well for the power i don't think i'm going to OC anything , because i lazy to OC and becuz my com specs are good enough and reliable i won't go through the hassel to overclock it and decrease my lifespan on the products.

as you mention if i were to choose G skill rip jaw i will have to go to their site and check the memories that fit my asus sabertooth motherboard ?

and i wish someone help me find someone local in singapore to deal with

For finding the compatible memories for your mobo, check this (GSkill's RAM configurator): http://www.gskill.com/configurator.php

Dear Zka17 ,

I'm sorry, I didn't realized that this mobo is so new that GSkill didn't updated their RAM calculator yet... I was checking on the Asus website, even they uploaded the QVL for memory yesterday! Here is a link: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...Memory-QVL.pdf

With this system I would go with a PSU between 750-850W...

Base on the link that u gave me , so the only 2 qualified RAMs are Corsair Vengeance ? and Transcend ?
