newegg asks a 15 buck shipping for the case alone !
my suggestion would be to start saving up n upgrade ur cpu to i7 7700 and add another ram stick of the same brand if necessary when u have the cash. sry bro

i only game lightly. 1080p and more focused on a lightroom what about an i5 and 1050 for $700?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

an i5 7500 itself is costing a sweet 230 there. in that case, go for rx460 instead of 1050. also, u can go for ryzen 5 1400 instead of 7500. 4cores/8threads.

How good will the pentium work with lightroom

 

[Lucky_SLS]

lightroom is not such a cpu intensive task. the pentium would do fine. its for modern games that u need a powerful cpu.

since u r going with 1x8gb, a 2 slot mobo would be fine for future upgrades.
i changed to a lower priced ram model.
the new green label cxm r good. the grey ones not so. so try the one in the list.
the 1050ti is much better n rx470 is steeper.

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/QcCW7h

i would still suggest u wait for the ryzen 5 1500x reviews n buy it if its good. it releases on april 11. this mobo would suit u if u r buying ryzen https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/crs8TW/asrock-ab350m-hdv-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-ab350m-hdv

Ya, theres like 10-20% dif? what about games like bf1

 

[Lucky_SLS]

if u r gonna tax ur gpu to its limits, rx460 it is.
