Explanation: 


I'm assuming this is built for a girl, from the title, but I guess I could be wrong...

 

CPU: Went Intel because I planned on having a dedicated gpu, and the i5-4590 is such a good deal at $160.

 

Mobo: Went itx, as most of my female friends aren't looking for a large rig to put on display, but instead something small to tuck away. H97 because the CPU can't overclock. Most important feature is the ac wireless connectivity. Having this built in is useful, and I have never met a girl with her router anywhere near her desk. 

 

RAM: Just the cheapest 8 gig kit I could find, just happened to match the Mobo.

 

Storage: SSD + HDD combo is basically required if the budget can afford it. Makes everything so much better. I know there are cheaper SSD's but Crucial builds fast and reliable stuff and there is no need in cheaping out on your personal data (especially when it's someone else's data).

 

GPU: 290 is now the best thing for your money. Yes, it will get a bit toasty in an mitx chasis, but there is no better value. Spent the extra $3 on the XFX instead of the MSI solely because I had extra budget and it color matched better.

 

Case: I personally love the look of this case. It's clean and small, with nice brushed aluminum. And yes, the PSU does fit with the GPU, I checked.

 

PSU: EVGA makes good stuff. While this is not their best, for a non overclocked build it will do just fine for $30.

 

Keyboard: Every single time a girl uses either my or my friends mechanical keyboard, they say that they would rather use their laptop's keyboard. So chicklet keyboard it is. I've never used a bad logitech product, so this will definitely not cause any problems.

 

Mouse: M510. I love this mouse. Used it for ~3 years before upgrading to the G602. It's wireless, with insane battery life (I literally change the batteries once in the time that I used it), no tracking issues, feels great in the hand, has a satisfying click... I can't rave enough about how good this mouse is, especially for being only $25. Best budget mouse IMHO.


This is a bit beastly for a "light gaming" rig, it's amazing how far $750 goes...

Sorry about the last minute switch.

For this Valentine's Day build, I went with a black/red color scheme as it fits the holiday, since some couples fall in love (red) and some break up (black). In it, there is a Intel Core i5, with a miniITX board from Asrock that has USB 3.0 and eSATA. Along with that, it has 8GB of Kingston Savage in red, 1TB of storage and a R9-290 that can handle current games at high settings. All of this is nicely wrapped up, in a AeroCool DS Cube case in black/red.

This build is for the gamer gurl. The specs comprise of the i5 cpu and R9 280 GPU. All in a red gaming casing from Corsair. Keyboard is non mech as not many gurls like clicky keyboards. And the mouse is good for ladies hands too. Great system to play online games and frag guys in CS.GO.

Very hard to find boards with eSATA thou. The port is rarely used as compared to usb 3.0

@CornOnJacob do 4 bucks matter?

Yes it does. From the contest rules page

12. You must stay under budget. If anyone is allowed to go even one cent over budget, it really raises the budget for everyone. However, once you submit your build, it doesn't matter if the price of the parts skyrockets or drops.
