Salaam,

I'm looking to buy a gaming pc. I'm in karachi. I'm planning to go to Czone this week to buy the entire PC, get it assembled and get windows installed. I checked prices on Czone, Galaxy, and GT store, and the prices are more or less the same. Basis the availability of parts and budget, this is what I'm going for. Planning to install a graphics card later. Probably going to buy a second hand 1060 or 1070 down the road.

Processor : i5 8400 - 26500
Mobo : wanted the Gigabyte 360M, but thats out of stock, so going with Gigabyte H370M - 14500
SSD : WD Green 250gb - 6790 (is this good, do you know)
Hard drive : Seagate Baracuda 1tb - 6000
RAM : Gskill 2400 8gb single stick - 11500 (2400 Mhz ram. Is there any problem, or should i go with higher frequency ram)
PSU : FSP Hyper K 600W - 5600 (I cant find this brand name recommended online. Should I go with this or corsair 650W)
Casing : Thermaltake Versa N25 - 5800
Additional: Assembling pc and installing windows - 1000 (do you guys know what windows they install and how updated is it or is just a windows 10 that is not activated)
Additional 2: Wifi stick - 1500 or so , and Wireless KB+M - 1500 or so

Questions: I'm not installing a cooling system, since apparently, the i5 8400 comes with a cooler. Secondly, I'm planning to connect this to my TV, rather than getting a dedicated monitor.

Total price is coming out to be 80500.
Anything that stands out as a big no, or should I go ahead with it.

But, should careful for buying a Mining card of GTX1060,1070

Power supply, FSP Hyper K 600W is better. Top 5 market share in PSU area in Globe.

Why do you need them to install windows onto it? You can do it yourself and it's really, really easy. You're not getting a genuine copy for Rs. 1000. Just download the ISO, or buy a disk from any DVD shop (should cost you less). They'll probably activate your Windows through KMSpico or another auto-KMS software, which you can do yourself. Microsoft Toolkit is a better alternative as many versions of KMSpico online are straight up malware and don't actually activate Windows.

Please don't get the WD Green SSD. Instead get a Samsung 860 EVO 250gb SSD, it costs around 11k but boy is the difference worth it.

Using the stock cooler is fine to get you started but you're probably going to need a cooler if your thinking of gaming.
