I need some advice on my pc building planning, the budget is around USD$600.

I am planning for a pc with a budget around 600USD, maximum is 650.My location is Indonesia. The use for the pc is:

-a lot of ms office stuff

-everyday use(browsing, youtube-ing, and other)

-little bit of media consuming (movie watcing etc.)

-little bit of photoshoping and video editing(just little bit)

-and some gaming. The games is : Counter Strike, Minecraft, etc.

Any spec. Recomondation? I'm thinking of an i3, w/ 8gb ram, but i have no idea on the gpu. And i need a lot of storages, A LOT! Maybe 1 or 2tb or even more. SSD isn't important. I aslo need OS(windows 64bit), monitor (just 1, 1080p is enough), and keyboard & mouse(normal edition, not gaming edition). I'm new at this forum, and thanks for your reply. But I'm sorry for any of my english mistakes.

Since youre doing Video editing, an i5 may help your rendering speed (unless you dont care about speed and just want the barebones).

For GPU, 750Ti will do you well in CS and MC.

 

Some random dude will put up a parts list for you. :P Im a little busy now.

I'd agree. Get a 750 ti for the video card or maybe a 760. Depends. I'd go with an i5 though. You can really make use of those extra cores and the difference is noticeable.

What is the difference between modular,semi modular, and non modular PSU?

Modular - You can choose which power connections are connected to the PSU

Semi-Modular - the essential power connections cannot be removed from the PSU, but some of the more optional ones such as 6-pin GPU connectors or Molex connectors can be removed.

Non-Modular - None of the connections on the PSU can be removed.

 

The modularity of the PSU doesn't necessarily affect the performance of the PSU itself, but it's having a (semi-)modular PSU can allow for easier cable management - which in turn should lead to better case air flow.

The build looks good.  My personal recommendation would be a 750ti then you would have a decent all round machine but another upgrade could be to change the CPU to a k series for overclocking and get slightly more performance.

K series refers to unlocked Intel chips, such as the i5-4670K, which are meant for overclocking and don't have any limitations placed upon them (physical heat and voltage stability excluding).

 

It's going to be a little tough to just game on an integrated graphics card, especially if you're not just playing 2D games or browser games. I would recommend trying to put in an AMD R7 260X or Nvidia 750Ti for a relatively low-cost graphics solution that provides great value for your money.

 

With your budget, I would honestly scale back on the processor - unless you NEED the quad-core. An i3-4160 or similar processor should suit you just fine for what you are looking to spend.

That price is ridiculous for a 450W PSU

 

750Ti isn't a great card, it's quite low power and by spending a few $ more, you can get a far faster card in the R9 270

I'm not planning to play heavy game, mainly CS. Is 750 Ti enough for CS?

CS will run on a potato, you should be fine :)

750Ti isn't a terrible card either; It's still a Maxwell architecture card, despite being a 700 series card, so support for it will last for a good while.

If you want to save money

An amd apu could potentially suit your needs (read the new a10-7870k or 7850k)
