Hi guys,

need your assistance to help in a 1.2k budget system. This build will be use mainly for daily usage, surfing the net, streaming movies, gaming as well.

Would be best if I can have a 1k rig and a 1.2k rig to do comparison. Will also need to have all peripherals. Monitor, mouse, keyboard, speaker.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys for the recomendtions! I don't actually need an SSD though. So if eliminating the SSD, is there any parts that can be improved on?

Will need it urgently now. As the PC show is ending tomorrow.

Thanks alot!

EDIT: Will need a OS as well
