Hello all,

I am looking to get a secondary PC to be used for gaming. This PC would be mainly used to play Dota and league but would sometimes be used for battlefield.

My budget is 1.3k. No monitor or other peripherals needed but would prefer the Fractal Nano S.

Anyone got recommendations on a build? Currently this is what I have gathered through researching online but is unsure if it's good.

MOBO + CPU : MSI H110i PRO AC // i5-6400

RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHZ

GPU : Zotac 1060 MINI

PSU : Seasonic M12II 520W

CASE : Fractal Nano S

HDD : WD BLUE 1TB

SSD : Evo 850 250GB

No need Corsair Vengeance LPX rams. Any valueram (Kingston/Crucial) will do.

Try to upgrade your i5 to 6500 for more value for money performance.

Thanks for the reply guys!

So my build is alright except that I should change my RAM (to a cheaper one) and my CPU for more performance?

what do yall think about the PSU compared to superflower that is always recommended?

Lastly, where would yall recommend to get OS from? Getting rest of the parts from PC Themes is alright?

Hi guys!

My friend has a change in plan and budget. As his family doesnt want a big case, one of his only choice is a slim itx case.

He is hoping you guys can recommend him a build <$1200 that is using the Node 202 or similar case?

Thank you!
