Hi everyone,

I've been looking for some advice on parts that I should use for my work PC. I have also seen some sites and videos with parts listed but I am still unsure on how to proceed with this. I have had some experience building but no where near selecting parts.

Approximate Purchase Date: Tomorrow (12/10/14) but the week is fine.

Budget Range: $0 - $600 - Delivery won't matter as I would like to pick up locally.

System Usage: Work, e.g (MS Office, email and YouTube)

Monitor: No.

Need to purchase OS: No

Parts to Upgrade: I already have 4GB of Transcend DDR3 1333 RAM, GTX 650 1GB and a 320GB Western Digital HD. So I'll need to fill in the gaps of the system.

Mobo, CPU, wifi card, case and PSU. (Stock cooler for CPU will be fine.)

Preferred site for parts: msy.com.au

Parts preference: Intel

OC and SLI/Crossfire: No.

Additional Comments: As for software, MS Office, Chrome, Adobe Reader will be mainly used. A quiet PC would be nice too.

Why upgrade? My laptop currently is not sufficient in running those applications.

Thanks for your time and help!

Is space a consideration for this build? If so, M-ATX might be an option to look into. Mini-ITX is too, but unless you only have 1 stick of that ram, you will need a new set for 8gb. Also, some mini-itx come with built in wifi. I was thinking something like this.
