Help with custom build pc

[Mrtaiyh]

Thank you for the input. A total newbie when it comes to custom build.

I want something small (+-) and quiet like the mac mini. Will be using it for msft office (many windows at once), home use (surfing and youtube) and basic gaming (Dota 2 (High), counterstrike (High) and hopefully it can scale for future title in medium setting).

Hope this machines can support displays at 2560x1600 pixels easily. (considering ultrawide 21:9 in the future mainly aiming at productivity)

Like a typical Singaporean, the cheaper the better (4-5 years use).

edit - Wifi (a must) and bluetooth (if possible)

Thank you.

Whats your Budget?

 

[Mrtaiyh]

Below 1k will be ideal. Instead of saying mac mini, small form factor will be the better term.

We can use Mini AC WIFI Adpater to reduce the cost.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you both Jian19 and MoneyFace =P for the great build!

If I were to spend a little more to get a i5 processor, which i5 processor will be recommended for the system?
