Hey everyone,
This is the first time I've ever tried to build a pc. I'm looking to build a pc capable of gaming like watch dogs, assasins creed 4 etc and rendering software like vray and lumion 3D (for architect).
I did complete the list for PC configurations.

CPU : Intel Core i5 4570 3.2 Ghz
Mobo : Asus H81-PLUS (LGA1150, Intel H81, DDR3)
Storage : Seagate 1TB 7200rpm
Memory : G-Skill Dual Channel 8GB (2x4GB)
Video Card : Asus Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5
Case : Cooler Master N400
PSU : Corsair CX500
DVD Rom : LG DVDRW 24X SATA
Monitor : AOC 20"

I live in Indonesia, and here in indonesia my list is worth around $890.
Now, is that a good match or not? Let me know what to change
 
Solution
for a budget computer definetly use AMD GPU. With nVidia the only reason you should use them is if you NEED Advanced PhysX. Overwise you get more performance/price with amd. Recommend a r9-270x for that budget.

This was the build i would suggest.For MOBO: Dont go cheap but also dont buy one with stuff you will never need. For that processor (The same one I have actually, very good processor) I would recommend the ASRock z87 Extreme4

For CPU: The I5-4670k can easily handle most modern single-threaded games right now. And even the VERY FEW that utilize hyper-threading it still will play very well on.

For RAM: Vengence is very good ram but you can find ram for similar performance for a better price. My Recommendation would be: G.SKILL...


Thanks, but I doubt about the PSU Seasonic 360, cause it just supply 360watt for the pc. I've calculate my spec that need around 500 watt for the PSU.
Sorry i've not a lot of money for i7 processor, i7 worth around $280-$290 in here

Sorry for my bad english, hehe :)

For RAM: Vengence is very good ram but you can find ram for similar performance for a better price. My Recommendation would be: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 2x4gb. The mobo i recommended utilizes dual channel ram. so having two ram sticks will give better performance.

For HDD: I would recommend the WD Caviar Blue series, its like 8 dollars more but its 7200rpm instead of 5400 which will make a difference in game loading times

For Video Card: This is where that money you save from the ram will come into place. The radeon r7 250 will be able to play games but it will not play them at the quality you can get for a 900$ computer. For that budget I would recommend the r9-270x. Much better. Hits fairly good FPS for a budget computer.

For PSU: You are gonna want at least a 500w I will attach a pcpartpicker link for all of this.

For Case: I highly recommend the Antec 900 comes with 4 fans and is a fairly big mid-tower case

For Monitor: This will also be in the ppp link. Dont forget a DVI cord I will include that also.
