Hi can anyone help me recommend a gaming PC build with a budget of roughly $600-700? That can at least run present games. :s12:

Go look at the pricelists download. Then you can easily do the math.

1)
Intel G4560 + H110M-A M.2 D4 ($192)
Zotac GTX 1050 2GB ($189) / Zotac GTX 1050Ti 4GB ($225)
Tecware F3 ($49)
WD Blue 240GB SSD ($149) / PNY 128GB SSD ($89)
WD Blue 1TB HDD ($72)
8GB Kingston 2400MHz ValueRAM ($89)
FSP Hexa 450W 80+ ($59)

The build suggested above by MianBaoFren will cost you around $700+ from PCThemes. (Can ask for discount if you are getting the whole system from them)

Suggest 1050 upgrade to 1050Ti and SSD downgrade to 120GB if planning to get HDD anyway.

Now with GSS Sale, Qoo10/Lazada can get the items cheaper probably if you do some research and find good deals.

2) Depends what is your case.

3) I'm not sure about the reliability, can check with other more experience bros here :s13:

If I'm you, I'd save up more money (About $1k Budget) and get a new rig with a 1060 3GB. Because your RAM, GPU, CPU, Mobo is ancient already. Is your PC is pre-built? All the parts seem to be from 2008 era. Suggest if getting new rig don't reuse your PSU already.

What case are you using? If you are planning to reuse parts from your current rig, perhaps let us know what is the specs of your current rig?

How old is your PSU? The psu looks ok if you are going for a budget build..

Hi ivandrago166, you have to check whether your casing can install a MATX motherboard as my suggested build is using this.

Note all prices from Tradepac.

CPU & MB Bundle: i5-7400 & Asrock H110-HDS@$307
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR4 2133MHz 8GB@$84
GPU: ZOTAC GTX1060 3GB@$292

Total build cost (without OS): $683
Reuse casing, power supply and hard disk.

Do look out for any coupons or sales on Lazada or Qoo10 that can be used to offset the cost of your GPU. Lazada is having a sale from 6th to 8th June.

For future upgrade, please add an SSD for your OS and games. This will make your PC boot up faster, improve system response and reduce game loading time.
