Advice for new gaming rig

[LoneRanger95]

Hi.

I am currently looking to build a new gaming rig to play normal games such as dota2 and cs go. My budget is around 1.5k, and i do not require the peripherals, but i require os and wifi though. Would prefer to get all the parts in one shop and assemble it there as well since it's my first time getting a gaming com.

Any advice is appreciated very much,thanks!

I think I will try a small form factor setup in this case

i5-6400 + Gigabyte GA-H170N WIFI @487
1x8GB Kingston DDR4-2133 @84
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB @159
WD Blue 1TB @77
Zotac GTX950 @269
FSP 450W SFX @99
Silverstone SG-05B @79

Total 1254

Windows can buy from Reddit

and actually you can save more if buy the SSD and graphics card from Lazada

All right that build seems good for me. May i know where i can get all the other parts and have it build at the shop itself? Also i wanna know where else i can upgrade since i have $200+ left for my budget. Thanks alot!

Oh my prices are all based on PC themes price list

And if you really want to upgrade, you can get a Zotac GTX970 instead of the GTX950, but my justification is since that you play MOBA and CSGO most of the time, you don't need that much graphic power. However, if you are playing AAA titles, you can look at a GTX970

Just get an ethernet cable to plug to the desktpp, faster speed anyway unless your router too far away in which case you bobian.

Cpu fan can just use the stock one cus you not overclocking.

Case fan might want to consider get 1 or 2 depending on how many fans your case comes with. Typically a desktop has at least 2 fans, one for intake and one serve as exhaust. Should cost about 20 dollar each for this but if got discount even better cus you don't really need a fancy one. Last time I went to PCT they had a bucket of old fans they were selling for cheepcheep.

Nono if u are buying according to kaikax's recommendation, you don't need another wifi adapter coz that recommended motherboard already have onboard wifi.

Case fan I think u might need to buy one for exhaust according to what I see from kaikax's recommended casing specs only comes with one for the intake... Not familiar with small form config...
