Recommend me a build!! 1.6k

[UnRiVJuNo]

Hello all,

Haven't looked into PC builds lately. So I am kinda out of reach these days. Help me recommend a build!! 1.6k including monitor and a case with big big cable management area. D

GPU doesn't need to be very high as long as can play games like dota2 and battlefield on good frame rate. I am thinking gtx 760 might be pretty much enough? Wanna throw in a good capacity SSD. Rig is for moderate usage of gaming and some programming like python, C+, C#, visual basic etc. Just need all those programs to load super fast.

Thanks!!

I need a monitor.

For keyboard, cheap Logitech one should be fine together with decent dpi mouse?

Yes, wifi card is needed. I will check back with my friend about broadband speed and router details.

Built-in monitor speaker should be good enough.

OS not needed.

Thank you.

Thanks for the recommendation, roy. Any other set up ideas that I could probably use?

If your budget is slightly on a high side. Can improve further by having a 240/250/256gb SSD. We are talking about $45 more if you buy from Amazon.

You can also improve on the Chassis also. Good and solid chassis do goes a long way. Chassis like Fractal Design Arc Midi, Fractal Design R4, Corsair Obsidian 350D matx chassis, Corsair Obsidian 750D, Corsair 600T.

Other than that it is a pretty much solid PC if you are looking to game for battlefield.

All along TP is selling at 219.

Dont even need to bargain. BUT a word of caution. Please remind TP salesman to give you the power cable. This is the only monitor that comes without the 3pin header. Only comes with the adapter. Be it wherever you buy. Tp or PC themes. Sometimes one will forget and assumed that they have include inside the box.
