Advice for customise rig

[terrarossa]

I need advice for new rig since its my 1st time customising it. It's for just normal web browsing and simple games(i.e simcity). Not FPS games. My budget would be 1k incl monitor,kb/ms. Thx in adv.

SimCity can be pretty demanding on high detail settings:

CPU+MB: Intel Core i3-4150 + ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 @ $209
RAM: Crucial DDR3-1600 CL11 4GB X2 @ $76
GPU: PowerColor R9-270 2GB TurboDuo @ $215
SSD: Lite-On S900 128GB @ $83
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB @ $70
ODD: Samsung 24X CD/DVD Writer [OEM] @ $21
PSU: FSP Aurum S 500W [80 Plus Gold] @ $85
CASE: Xigmatek Recon @ $45
DSP: Dell S2340L 23" LED [eIPS] @ $189
PHP: Logitech MK120 @ $17

Total: $1010

Take note that there are things that is not available.

FSP aurum S 500 and 600w.
LiteOn s900. (Replaced by LiteOn MU)
Powercolor r9 279 2gb /turbo duo

Replace the psu to FSP hexa 550w. Or a more expensive superflower leadex 550w.

Replace the ssd to either samsung evo850 120gb or Transcend.

Powercolor r9 270 2gb could be have stocks. But very limited.
