Hey dudes, building a desktop for simple web browsing.

[Budget]
RM2,000, the lower the better

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
None

[Personal preferences]
SSD, W10
Would having only a 120GB SSD be sufficient for normal usage? No games, no movie/tv show downloads

No need for dedicated graphic card

OS installation will take around 20GB, so you have around 95GB+/- left, should be enough for normal usage, I have 120GB SSD also, only have Windows 10 and some important files inside, left around 85GB now.

Intel Pentium G4400 - RM 265
MSI H110M Pro-VH - RM 329
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 197
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - RM 229
CM Elite 350W - RM 126
CM Elite 344 - RM 145
Logitech MK200 Wired Combo - RM 65
BenQ GW2270 - RM 439

Total: RM 1795 (Techview price inclusive of GST)

Windows 10 Home OEM key is around RM 300 if you buy from retail/physical shop, I am not sure what is Techview's pricing on Windows key, you need to ask them for more information.

If you look for Garage Sales, there are actually many sellers selling at ridiculously low price, you can buy from them if you dare to take the risk, need to beware of fake/stolen/duplicate key though.

This build can use MicroATX casing right?
I looked up the PSU you suggested, and I see it has no efficiency rating. Would it be worth investing in a PSU with 80+ Bronze rating?

Yep, it is mATX build, you can use mATX case.

Because budget issue so I picked a very low end PSU, of course you can get a better PSU with 80+ rating if you want like Corsair VS450/FSP Hexa+ 450W etc but you will need to increase budget.

I see, long term I think it would be better to invest a bit more on the PSU. Read that it protects the other parts.
How much extra would the Corsair/FSP cost?

I know i3 would be overkill for my usage.
What would you suggest for a system with i3 and budgeted at 2.3k + monitor + keyboard mouse and W10?
