Hello all,

The PC I described in the subject line is my first DIY project, and this is my first HWZ post! (I hope it's in the right section.)

Based on some research so far, and a look at some price-lists for local shops (Fuwell, LD, TradePac), this is what I've come up with:

Case: CoolerMaster Elite 110
Mobo: GigaByte GA-H87N-WiFi-ITX
CPU: either an i3-4130 or i3-4150, depending on which shop...
GPU: PowerColor HD7770 1GB GDDR5
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 (valueram?)

HD: WD CaviarBlack 1TB
SSD: Samsung EVO 840 120GB

PSU: Seasonic S12II Bronze 520W

PCPartPicker part list: (...)/p/RnfXJx


Based on the price-lists, this adds up to about $900. Regarding monitors, keyboards, speakers, etc. I'm intending to use what I already have (nothing fancy, but all working quite solidly).

I'm not sure if I may have missed out something crucial (I didn't know to look up for WiFi, for instance, until some time into the search, for instance). One thing is the optical drive, but that's not super crucial for me; also have a USB version if I ever suddenly need it.

Regarding use-purposes, mainly office uses, including some web design; recreation-wise, I'm guessing that this will run dota 2 and older stuff like TF2, etc.

Any comments, criticism, tips, etc. regarding the above proposal?

Thermaltake - Global - Core V1 - CA-1B8-00S1WN-00

This Thermaltake Core V1 better and more space for wire management and HDD or SSD placement, Elite 110 too cramp for itx. Available at Fuwell only, don't think any shop has Thermaltake case. Hope it helps.
