Good day all,

I am looking to build a gaming PC, but I have a strict budget (+-$694.29) and some specific requirements;

The build must include;

  • Graphics Card (Any type of Nvidia Graphics card)
  • Hard-drives (No bigger than 128GB SSD / No bigger than 1 TB HHD)
  • Motherboard (The motherboard does not need a 7.1 audio jack)
  • A computer case
  • Power supply (500-600W)
  • CPU (Intel i-5 only)
  • CPU cooler
  • RAM (8 GB only)
  • CD reader / Writer

That is about it, if you have any other recommendations please let me know! I have all the other computer peripherals.

 

I am from South-Africa so I have to work with a tight budget because of the exchange rate.

 

Thank you!

Pretty sure most GPUs at this price point don't need 500-600W, 430W would be plenty.

 

Where are you buying from we have no point of reference, pretty sure a 694 USD build in the US will cost way way more in South Africa, unless you intend to ship everything and the shipping isn't included.
