woah thanks for build. Which processor is faster? should be the G3220 correct?

Yes. G3220 is faster. And ZBox ID18 MiniPC processor slower (Ultrabook Celeron, not Desktop Celeron). For normal usage, Pentium paired with SSD is important, cause it means OS operation is smooth and the bottleneck is now the processor.

If you've got extra change to spare, do consider upgrading the PSU to Seasonic S12 520W at ~$84. Overall a more solid and all-rounded PSU with a 5-yr warranty. Even in the very unlikely event it goes bang, can just bring to Corbell and get it exchanged straightaway.

CPU + Mobo: Biostar H81MHV3 + Pentium G3220 - $126
RAM: ADATA 4GB 1600MHz - $49
SSD: Plextor M6S 128GB - $104
PSU: FSP 300W OEM - $39
Casing: Generic ATX casing (Headway, Vios etc.) - $20
Wifi: TP-Link WN722N USB - $26

Usually fuwell etc they charge more if I buy using credit card right? Any shop doesnt do this? And is there a 350w seasonic psu? 500w a bit overkill

All shops will charge sextra for CC. NETS depend, some like TP don't, some like PCT do.

That's the lowest retail Seasonic, I don't see OEM units lying around. FSP is the only one ($39 but 1-yr only). Generally FSP Seasonic and Delta PSUs are of "safe & OK" standard.

If that PSU chibabom and take out all your other components, only got yourself to blame. Quality costs money.

Use the one which still has warranty. If both bo, I'd personally use FSP because they're the larger OEM. I myself have a spare OEM FSP
