Hi guys, intending to build a new rig mainly for entertainment (eg HD streaming, simple video/photo editing) and casual gaming, not hardcore gamer. I've got a build in mind...

CPU: i5-3470
MB: AsRock H77 Pro4/MVP
RAM: Kingston HyperX 1600 2 x 4gb
GPU: MSI GTX650 PE OC 1GB
PSU: Seasonic M12II 620W Mod
SSD: Plextor M5S 128GB
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
Case: Corsair Carbide 300R w/window
OS: Win 7

No need monitor, k/b and mouse. I have optical drive from old PC to transfer over. Wanna try to keep cost down 800-1k with similar specs. Possible? Any advice/quotes?

Many thanks.

What is your budget?

Is your optical drive using sata or IDE connector?
