is my budget setup ok?

[xinping]

hello everybody, basically i got a $500 budget to setup a budget pc. mainly for online show, torrent, surfing net, ms office and light gaming.

i had been studying the pricelist, threads on new setup and info from my friends. came out with the below

Asrock H81M-DGS + i3-4130 - $203
Crucial 1600mhz 4GB X 2 - $104
WD Blue 1TB - $68
Cooler Master Elite 241 Case - $48
Seasonic M12lii 520w - $99
DVD writer recycle back old one - free

total $522

by the way is there any good but cheaper alternative for the Seasonic PSU? my current pc, which is around 5 years old with a 500gb HDD, good idea to keep it?

i heard tradepac can give further discount, usually how many % will they give?

thanks for the help

1) Define light gaming. What games?
2) List down the specs of your old computer.

[MoneyFace =p]

Define light gaming.

Play Microsoft Solitaire is light, play BF4 in lowest setting also light....

hmm now i only playing l4d2

 

[royfrosty]

Light gaming quite open leh.

To some

Maple, or asiasoft related games.

To some

Microsoft games or Windows 8 store games

To some

Facebook games or any other flash related games

And the rest

Just purely dota2

L4d2 very easy to drive. A r 7 260x can yield max settings at comfortable fps.

4GB is enough for i3 for basic usage unless you are doing light photoshop,video rendering,etc.

Get FSP Hexa+ 450W @ $59.
