Hey all, I have a budget of 1k for my desktop including speakers and I would like to order the parts from mynextcomonline and built them myself ( alittle lazy to go down to SLS).

I don't really game much, so I have allocated a smaller budget for gfx, and I will like SG-02 due to its form factor

The specs will be as follows:

Intel* i5-4*570 +MSI B85M-G43 = $384
G.Skill Value 1600MHz 8GB(1x8GB) = $97
Palit GTX650TI-OC = $184
WD 1Tb = $85
Dvd rom = $24
Silverstone SG-02 + Thermaltake Sma*rt SE* 630W* Modu*lar = $162
Altec Lansing BXR1321 2.1 Speaker = $42

Total = $978

Im also thinking of ordering a Asus 7850 which costs US$125 ~ S$163, as it has a better performance than 650TI 1gb

Can some laojiao advice me on my plan?

Thanks in advance!

If you really wanna game on desktop instead then just channel more to GPU.

Time to make your desktop more useful be it for gaming or be it for general usage.

Anyway if you wanna game in desktop my suggestion as per follows.

Asrock b75m dgs + i5-3350p ~ $271
ADATA 8gb 1600mhz ~ $85
WD blue 1tb ~$78
Palit gtx760 2gb ~ $345
Silverstone sg02 ~ $88
Fsp hexa 500w ~ $58
Samsung ODD ~ $21
Altec Lansing speakers ~ $42
Total $988

If let's say you really don't wanna game much then drop to powercolor 7850 2gb ~ $222
Add in a ssd silicon power v60 ~ $120

Total ~ $985

Both buy at tradepac. Diy
