My Q9400 is giving me some problem, thinking to replace it soon.

SSD 120g is a must!
Reusing my Andyson 550w psu and wd 2tb hdd, LED monitors
No need mouse, keyboard and OS

Anyone can recommend me a build? Budget is 700 or less I hope.

Usage is very very light gaming, will be doing photoshopping and mostly you tubing and Internet. Was thinking to rely on on board graphic? Hmm will leave for the gurus here to commend.

Unless you don't mind ivy build then you could probably take the rest of the budget into a beter gfx card.

Asrock B75M - DGS + Intel i5 3470 ~ $297
Kingston value ram 8gb ~ $75
Palit GTX 660ti 2gb oc ~ $338 IIRC

also $700.

Any mobo combo with acceptable inboard gpu?

Thanks Roy for ur input

If you want onboard gpu. I think the best choice would be the amd APU processors.

Asrock fm2-75m-dgs + a10 6800k ~ $288. This onboard is still way better than intel igpu.
