Hey! You've got the right idea with your 3D modeler setup. For a budget of $100–150, focus on essentials first. Look for affordable MOBO cases, RAM sticks in good ranges, and consider used or refurbished SSDs or HDDs. Stick to reliable brands like Crucial, Kingston, or Samsung. For the PSU, choose a decent 650W+ unit. A case with good airflow and decent cooling works well. Shop around on sites like Amazon, Newegg, or local electronics stores. Prioritize what you need most and skip premium features until you have more funds. Happy building!

Consider Aliexpress or Amazon when searching for components. A full PC might be better suited given your budget. Providing a location would help you get a more relevant response.

Consider checking eBay or local listings for an older workstation with a LGA1150 socket motherboard. These setups often come fully assembled, including the CPU, RAM, and everything you need, typically priced between $100 and $150. Just verify the GPU compatibility with your case size.

That's great advice! Your GPU looks decent for its profile, and it should work just fine with the available PCI slots.

Low profile is sure to work then. I’m not used to Hong Kong prices; they might be costly, so you’ll need to look into it yourself.
