Gaming PC 1K budget

[Topre RealForce]

Hey all, helping a friend with gaming pc purchase. Not been in market for a few years so need your help.

Budget 1k inclusive Monitor (21-24").
Usage will be CSGO Dota2, hoping to hit max FPS for both at max settings.
Need wireless connectivity(Already advise him to go wired, but it's not my build).
Should buy wireless card or built-in wireless mobo?
Probably no SSD due to budget constraints, but would be nice if can squeeze in.

Thanks brothers.

Don't use USB, PCI-E is better.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Unfortunately he doesn't want to DIY, just wants a one-off purchase from probably pcthemes or something. I offered to built for him but he doesnt want to trouble me, so lazada/tp stuffs are out for him. But I roughly know what are the go-to parts now, i'll draft and try to squeeze since pcthemes more expensive and report back later, hope for some opinions.

He wants more convenience then ask him either topup or lose SSD or something else lor. But please emphasis to him that he BOUND TO LOSE MUCH from any downgrades from the build we've provided.

No difference, just that some people do not like to trouble others.

Yes probably have to lose out on that SSD. Agree, it is a very good build, and the lazada deals are great.
