hi all.. i am intending to upgrade my system and will be using my existing ssd and psu.. intending to build a mini-itx system to save space..

using it for office work and photoshop.. must be able to run dota2 at max settings.. do not require monitor, mouse, kb, os..

keeping my budget at S$800 (raised to S$1300)

any recommendation please..



requirements: casing should be within 280mm (L) X 320mm (w) X 300 (H)

p/s: anyone knows where to buy Lian Li PC-Q03?

currently using a plextor 128 m5 pro and Corsair HX520W.. would it be necessary to upgrade the psu?

Why not wait a few days and see what AMD has to offer for first full HSA supported Kaveri APU?

would the APU be powerful enough to run games? sorry i am out of the hardware scene for a long time >.<
Upcoming (in just 2 days) A10-7850K packs the same amount of GPU shader cores (or compute cores) as HD 7750, and with all those new HSA features, it'll be exciting to see how they benefit you over competing Intel builds... HD 7750 is a slight performance boost over your current GTS 250.
