In a month, I will buy new PC considering that the one I have now is too old already as you all can view the info about it on my avatar there. What you think, it is really old PC?:D The purpose of the next build is still same as before for home/office use mostly like Microsoft Words & Excel documents, Internet access, watch movies and play moderate games such as Pro Evolution Soccer, Medal of Honor and Total War series. I didn't overclock my CPU as it not really necessary. I prefer SSD will use for boot drive as first priority follow by Antivirus and Microsoft Office documents. Is that allright? Then HDD for files related to movies, games, pictures etc. Is that okay too? I wish this build will able to endure at least for 10 years:love: Please give some comments so I can improve the build later. Here is the link http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Libero/saved/qz26Mp

Made some changes, and got you a better system, for less. The CPU is basically an i7 4770, without IGP. Managed a better GPU, changed the monitor to a nice IPS monitor, for less. The MX100 is a nice SSD for the money. Changed to a 2tb drive, as that 1tb black was overpriced. Changed the motherboard and case for better ones as well.
