[Weztimonial]

Hi guys, would like to get some recommendations on what I need, newbie here. Been using laptop previously. Not overclocking.

I already have kbm, dvd drive, casing, monitor, speakers.

Games: csgo, wolfenstein, gta5, saints row iv, batman games, farcry, dota, LoL, titanfall and many others on steam. Possible if play at best settings.

Uses it for watching alot series shows, photo editing on LR and PS, surfing net and streaming.

Budget: 1-1.2k, cheaper the better rah

thats all for now. thanks all!

Do you mainly streaming your shows or store and watch them from HDD?

And do you use plugins on PS that can use CUDA acceleraton?
