Please recommend PC for me

[NOTSomebody]

Hi All

I am a total amatuer in this self building of PC and has never done before.

Please recommend me some build that you think is feasible with a buget of 1-1.2k.

Main usage will be photo editing and streaming/movie. Slight gaming only.

I require a CPU and an OS. I have monitor(using 32" LCD tv), keyboard, mouse and speakers.

Thank you very much in advance!

Are you doing photoshop intensive?

Hmmm.. more like medium instead of intensive usage of photoshop.

Then just get an i5 with 16gb of rams

Msi b85m g43 + I5-4570 ~ $347
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz x2 ~ $178
WD blue 1tb ~ $76
Plextor m5s 128gb ~ $128
Leadtek gtx650ti 2gb boost ~ $201
Cm311 + fsp hexa 500w ~ $105
Samsung ODD ~ $21
Windows 7 home premium 64bit oem ~ $115

Total $1171 buy at tradepac. Diy

Add $128 for an i7 if needed.

If you cant build one then best is go pc themes and get your components and ask them assemble for you with a fee. Pc themes pricing will be about $50-70 more. With additional $30 for assembly.

Else you can go to tradepac. Buy everything and go to nigel shop and ask for help. With a small fee for him.

Thank you Jian19 and Royfrosty for the suggestion. After much research, my build should be as follow and I guess I will be building it myself as I wish to be more hands on on my own PC and I believe it is not too complicated to learn right?

Msi b85m g43 + I5-4570 ~ $384
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz x2 ~ $178
WD blue 1tb ~ $82
Plextor m5s 128gb ~ $135
Leadtek gtx650ti 2gb boost ~ $249
Samsung oem drive ~ $21
Sharkoon T28 + Seasonic M12ll Modular 620W 80+ PSU~ 186
Windows 7 home premium 64bit oem ~ $120

Total : ~1355

However this build exceeded my budget by a bit. I am thinking, whether is this build a little overkill? I am hoping that the build can be somewhat a little future proof and for future upgrade.

1 more question is that I am thinking to leave out the gfx first and use the onboard graphics until next month then get the gfx, is this advisable?

Apologies if I am asking noob question.

Buy from tradepac. Their prices will cater to your budget.

I will go down and check their prices this weekend because the price list I saw on HWZ are mostly written as offer without the actual price. However, to be within my budget, it will be a 10+% discount, is it possible with TradePac?

The price you are seeing here that we are quoted is from tradepac. Been there a couple of times and record down.
