I’d prefer an SSHD setup. I’ve spotted 1TB models for under fifty dollars. Recently, I’ve noticed some impressive offers on Corsair CX power supplies to stretch my budget further. Budget Corsair options are fine; seasonics are solid too. Right now, Newegg has a unit for thirteen dollars. I also found processors cheaper from various sellers on eBay. I bought an R3 1200 for eighty-four dollars using an eBay coupon, and an ASRock B350 Pro4 for fifty-seven dollars. If you’re patient, you might discover better deals, getting more value or saving money overall. A used graphics card like the GTX960 would also work fine.
If you increase your budget to roughly $520, you can achieve substantial upgrades. A solid-state SSD will boost performance markedly, and the Barracuda offers better reliability for data storage. To present a polished appearance, consider purchasing a semi-modular PSU for an additional four dollars. Refer to the part list below.
