Advice for a desktop rig

[topsala11]

Good day gents,

I'd be grateful if I can get some advice from you guys with regards to a desktop rig.

Main uses would be for surfing, some gaming, movies and music.
As for gaming, I'd like a setup that can easily run on max for the
upcoming GTA V.

I'd like to run windows 7 on it. Perhaps need a wireless keyboard and mouse.
No monitor required.

Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Got budget? Over-clocking?

Preferably within 2k but budget but not a big issue. Overclocking not necessary. Thanks.

With 2k you can get a beast~ some more you don't overclock - save money on cooler

It's just a rough figure. I don't mind spending but then again, I don't need a system that's over the top from what I need.

Lemme try..

Mobo+CPU: Asus H87M-E + i5-4570
GPU: Gigabyte GTX770 4GB OC Edition
Mem: G-Skill RipJawX 1600MHz CL9 (2x4Gb) 8Gb
SSD: Plextor M5 Pro 256GB SSD Sata3
HDD: WD Caviar Blue (1TB)
PSU: Seasonic M12II-520W
OS: Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit)

Around $1860.. Can always bargain it down easily..

Casing you choose yourself bah.. Normally I go for Coolermaster.. But up to you..

Wireless mouse/keyboard, you also can choose yourself bah..

Not sure if you need DVD drive or HDD.. Ripping any off from old rig? If yes, you can save a bit..

If you wanna extend your budget, go for GTX 780.. $900+..

You go see my list and decide which ones you want or which ones can downgrade/upgrade for your personal preference bah..

not bad~
I love NZXT Phantom 410, Corsair cases and Fractual cases too. Cooler master not bad either.
The rig he suggested is good for your usage bro. Could upgrade and downgrade most of the parts. Maybe can get a better PSU, no performance improve though.
Mouse and keyboard usually will go for wired as there will be input lag using wireless and it is more expensive than the wired version.

Eh.. People always go PCThemes.. You can try there loh.. Normally takes around 2 hrs+ I think..

I always build PC myself..

You want can try yourself also.. Quite fun and satisfying in a sense..

Just open a laptop and a connection, go youtube, search for "newegg: How to build a pc part 2", then just follow it through.. Can't really go wrong with that..
