PC Recommendation + Online Recommendation

[Deathscythe7]

Hi guys, i'm looking for a new gaming rig. budget about 1-1.3k.

i mostly play dota 2 and steam games, but i'd like to be able to play AAA titles maybe on high settings etc.

was thinking of using i5, no need for monitor, kb&m and other peripherals.

anyway, any recommendations for online stores, person to do DIY and delivery?

contacted ivanfortran but he's currently unable to do it due to personal issues. not sure when he will be back.

Hello! what's your hard disk requirement?

Hello! what's your hard disk requirement?

have nothing specific in mind actually.

what are the benefits of having a SSD besides faster boot up and loading?

i don't think i need a very large disk space for the SSD as i'll probably only install steam games.

although i have a max budget of 1.3k, i'd like to cut it down as much as possible. but i'd like to get a good cpu/mobo and gfx for a little future proofing. would be great if i can cut cost on other stuffs.

do you have any recommendation for online stores or persons doing DIY+delivery? i'm not as keen to go down to SLS to haggle for cheaper price and lug back the com, although i might do it if it's really significantly cheaper.

thanks!
