Looking for a web browsing and web gaming system.
Will be using for normal games like

viwawa games , wahjong etc.

Web browsing asiaone , etc.

Currently looking at

Asus P8H77-V LE
i3 - 3220

4GB RAM

Samsung 840 120GB SSD
(Don't need HDD since I don't save movies on it.)

Seasonic S12II 520W OR M12II
(Pls Advice)

Thermaltake V3 BlacX Edition Casing

Samsung 24X DvD-Writer SATA

Windows 7 Home Premium


Is graphics card needed or onboard graphic will be good enough ?

Have my own monitor , keyboard and mouse.
Anything else is needed ? Or need to change ?

nope. hd2500 graphic in the i3 3220 is more than enough to run HD 1080p video and play facebook games and viwawa games

hd2500 comes with directX 11 support, shader Version of 5.0 and openGL Version of up to 4.0. Source : Intel website

you may wan to scale down your psu to just 300 watt in which fsp oem 300 watts is good and cheap ( 36$++)

also, i think u can choose a smaller case since you wont need hdd and gfx.

my 2cents.

Will the FSP PSU be reliable ?
Would get a 'ready' for additional GPU in case I want to add in like a GTX 660

Also which casing would you recommend to fit the Motherboard in ?

I bought one for to power up my dad's com and it had been 7 months. still going strong.

I read somewhere in this forum that the oem fsp 300 watt is 80+ bronze just that is was not certified.

What would your budget be ? I could help u to save even more, if your main purpose is for web surfing and viwawa. For a start, u may consider g2120.

Would stick to the i3-3220 minimum.

With a budget of $800 possible ?

Got a GTX660 on my other comp , so if i'm changing that would just put it over to this system. So will need a decent PSU to power it.

oh well,

i3-3220 + Asus P8H77-V LE = $311
4gb ram kingston 1600mhz = $43
Samsung 840 120gb ssd = $159
seasonic m12ii 520W = $99 (semi modular will make your cable management sweeeter)
Thermaltake V3 BlacX E =$65
Samsung dvd =$25
Window 7 home premium OEM = $120


Total set you back by $840 buy and build at pctheme. You can try trade pac for cheaper pricing.

Alternatively,
You may want to swap to

i3 - 3220 + Asrock h77pro 4m = $ 281

to meet your 800$ budget.

Hmm kk thanks :)
If I were to get the Corsair RAM and use only 1 piece of the 4GB RAM , will it be ok ? Or it must work 2 X 4GB ?

My other PC need an additional stick also :o

haha ... a corsair vengeance performance ram would cost you about $99 bucks.

They usually come in kit form ( meaning 2pieces in a set or even 4 pieces)

Yes. you can just slot in one 4gb ram. you can buy a kit and slot one into each computer. shouldnt be a problem.

but remember , anything more than 4gb, remember to buy 64bit OS.

ie. 8gb (quite common ) will have to go with 64bit os.
