he said 1TB should be more then enough and if i do need more storage i can use a external drives as he said some of the guys in the forum said a 750Ti should me more then enough to handle my games since i usually play at high settings.

as for the prodigy case he said its more easy to move around since I live in a HDB (public housing) because it's lighter and easy to carry and better ventelated.

Aren't 2x4 much better than single 8GB module?

im planning to get another 8GB to make it 16 GB because of my work

no and it gives him the ability to upgrade to 16gb.

A ~1300$ build and with an i5 and only a 750ti? That doesn't seem right. Upgrading it in the future is an option but to me it looks like a waste of money to get an entry-level GPU and replaciong it in the near future. What games do you play?

What games do you play because a 280x 770 and 290 is alot better than the 750ti
