1352037 2013-08-25 22:29:00 I had a 60gb SSD for my C drive at one stage, it was fast but it filled up so quickly. Slankydudl (16687)
1352038 2013-08-26 06:27:00 What graphics card would you all recommend for my budget? Don't really mind if games don't run with full ultra graphics and stuff coz I'm definitely not a huge gamer...

I will definitely find out what brand the PSU/HDD/SSD's are. And probably get a 120gb or more SSD.

Do you think I'm being realistic getting a Haswell i5, 128/256gb SSD, 8GB RAM, Full HD monitor, 'Branded' PSU, 500gb HDD, Graphics Card for my budget of $1100? Or am I pushing it a bit?

I don't mind buying from different places to put the price down.

1352039 2013-08-26 06:30:00 Well any gpu will work with most builds..... what is your budget for a gpu? Slankydudl (16687)
1352040 2013-08-26 06:38:00 Probably $150-$200 if I can find other parts cheaper. sahilcc7 (15483)
1352041 2013-08-26 06:39:00 A larger SSD will cost you plenty, so the price of $1100 WILL be pushing it if impossible. You would be better off forgetting about the SSD and putting the money towards a Graphic Card.

Really rough figures, depending on brands, a 128GB SSD + will be around $200, with 250GB $300.00 +.

So with the 250GB thats around 1/4 + of your budget on the SSD alone.

1352042 2013-08-26 06:44:00 Alright, I'll probably get the SSD later then. sahilcc7 (15483)
1352043 2013-08-26 07:39:00 SSD's aren't necessary.... just nice. I would suggest an amd 7770 for your gpu
imho amd is better for low price gpu's atm

That sounds pretty good. But a monitor and OS will probably go a bit out of the budget.
