[playboysg]

Hi,

I would like to DIY PC. My budget is $1,000.

Minimum configurations i5, 8GB Memory, 256 SSD

It is mainly for general work usage and not much gaming.

Could you please advise some reliable shops?

Kindly let me know what is the highest specs I can get with the above budget. Excluding monitor.

Thank you.

Will you advise me to get 256GB SSD + 1 TB hard disk or topup for 500GB SSD?

Can they help me to transfer the current hard disk to the new DIY PC? So that I have 2 hard drives.

I would say, if you can afford the 250gb SSD go for it. Currently I am using a 120gb one and all I can fit on it is OS + 1 -2 games max. depending on what games too. usually you would want to put games/programs that have long load times like BF4 / adobe programs so that is already 40+gb gone on top of windows. 250gb you would really have alot more freedom.

For os, you can try getting from G2a : https://www.g2a.com/windows-8-professional-32-64-bit-cd-key-global.html
