so I need some suggestions for my PC build.
I would like a small micro-atx I would prefer either 960 or 950 for graphics
I would like an Asus MoBo and intel i5
many thanks:)
I only need the system, no peripherals
i would prefer an ssd and hdd combo, but i can deal with hdd only aswell.
Budget is 600$-700$
my budget isnt really tight, i could go even up to 750-800$, but would prefer not going higher.
the PC is for both gaming and work(not a heavy work, but some)
 
Solution
mATX check
GTX 950/960 - added a GTX 970 which has hugely better perfomance and twice the VRAM.
Asus Mobo check - would suggest a cheaper gigabyte though, as brands are less important than what you actually get for your money
i5 chip check
15 dollars above budget, if you want to get below budget, get a GTX 960 4GB instead.
