You can't. Only she can get one IF she can find a job before her visa expire. Even that isn't a guarantee unless she has qualifications of her own.
You might be able to get her a long term social visit pass provided you can prove that you were in a common law marriage prior to arrival here but she still cannot work
The best way of insuring she can stay here is to marry her.

It will be close but it's doable as long as you have a frugal lifestyle and don't blow it all by staying in a condo. (2500/mo up to 25000/mo)
3. I would be working in Fuji Xerox Towers in the city. What should be the districts where i should be lookin for accomodation.
On your salary, at least 4 or 5 MRT stations from the CBD.

You only option will be HDB.

is there a big diff in HDB prices and condos??
also is it poss for foreign EP holders to get HDB's.
also, in case if my gf does not get a job within her visa duration is it poss for me to marry her in singapore and get her a dependant pass

Not that big from practical point of view. condos typically got some facilities like swimming pool, gym, tennis court etc. Newer HDBs looks inside very similar to the condos apartments but you also pay adequately for this in your rent.

To rent - yes.

I'm fairly new to this site so apologies if I'm being dense.

This link says that only PR can rent HDB and monthly salary should not be more than $1500.
What am I missing?

You are not going to rent directly from HDB. You are going to rent from a Tenant, not from the government, so that rule doesn't apply.
You can start by looking here:

These are the requirements that an owner must fulfill to rent his place and some info about the prices.
Good luck!

Excellent link! I forgot about that. Anyway, I have added that link to the Housing section of my links page below so it doesn't get lost. It's right at the top of the centre column! Good one mate!
