can the experts here recommend me a low end rig w/ budget 500 for simple usage?
only using it to browse web and watch videos, gaming wise only expecting good frame rate and high settings for LoL. not gonna play those killer games.

don't need monitor keyboard and mouse, just cpu will do.

*i don't need 1tb hdd, is it possible to get ssd with lower memory within my budget? probably need less than 150gb of space. only gonna store a few games and some apps that's all.

For the SSD, you can consider the Zotac T500 240GB on Lazada. It was recently selling for 82-90 but currently OOS. With credit card discount, 74-60 + 3 for delivery.

As for the rest of the rig, you might want to consider the second-hand market. There are some good deals out there.

i got the following except for the psu u recommended, instead got a 500w master cooler one, but at a lower price as well. why 300w psu yet 99? hexa 500w also cheaper than that :s11:

now only lack of my gpu, what are the performance difference in palit/asus/gigabye 750ti though?

Wait so what have you really gotten? Cos the $99 is chassis + bundled PSU. And i bet you gotten another chassis cos you bought a CM 500W PSU which is standard ATX form factor.

well actually mine, is case+psu @99

if u want cheaper gpu will be either palit or zotac.

performance, i dun think will fair that much, since this is a lower end budget gaming gpu.

currently i have the following :

500gb hdd + samsung evo ssd (my friend got it for me as a gift)
ASUS H81M-K + i3 4160
8gb valueram
500w cm psu

so basically i'm still lacking a gpu, chassis and wireless card.
will be getting 750ti soon but trying my luck to find a 2nd hand one.

edit : i don't really need a mini itx tower, as I have more than enough space for a atx tower
