Hey guys,

Im planning to buy a budget pc, mostly for gaming (mostly multiplayers) and apps dev (visual studio, photoshop,...) .

I have a budget of 700$

What do you think of this one?
I already have a Samsung 830 SSD.

Case Coolermaster 690 usb 3
Motherboard Gigabyte Z77-D3H
Cpu Intel Core i5 3470
Fan Hyper 212 Evo
Gpu Gigabyte HD 7850
Psu Corsair CX600 v2
LG DVD RW 24X

Thanks

Hi, it's better to just drop the cooler and that motherboard since you have the i5-3470, it allows for better card like the 7870.
