Decent Gaming Rig & Internet TV Rig

[the-alchemist]

Looking for a decent gaming rig to play Dota 2 and edit RAW images, will this do?

CPU & Mobo: i5-4570 & MSI B85M G43
Ram: G.Skill 1600mhz value ram 8GB
ODD: Samsung DVD RW
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
GPU: MSI 7770 1GB
Case: Silverstone SG02
PSU: Seasonic S12 520W

What's the difference between mATX and ATX? Any downsides to getting a mATX case?

Also looking for another setup for just internet browsing/PPTV for another person, any recommendation? Haswell if possible...

Thanks!

mATX is usually smaller then ATX hence less PCIE slots etc

To clarify, I don't need more than 1 dedicated GPU and I don't intend to OC, so mATX should be sufficient as per my original post yea?

If that's the case then yes you can get a matx board

Ok great. Thanks. Any other recommendations for the rig that will only use IPTV?

Depends on what medium you want to put the video out to.
Budget and low end would be to go for Celeron processor coupled with a budget board, and just get a normal graphics card would do.
You could even use the On board graphics if no gaming is intended.

For the best price point for the gaming rig, is the setup listed ok?

actually i wont recommend 7770 ... i would rather you pay abit more to go for 7790. much better in perfomance. the only good thing about 7770 is it has lower power comsuption when in idle mode.

sauce: Radeon HD 7790 vs 7770
