Hi everyone

I was hoping to get some help deciding on specs for a PC.

I'm in need of everything: box, monitor(20inch is fine), speakers, keyboard, mouse, wi-fi aapter.

My budget is around R10000. I mainly need it for general use: browsing, adobe suite designing and light gaming (LoL now an then). I'm interested in buying a system that's going to last me a long time an be upgradeable in the future.


Any and all help is greatly appreciate. Thanks!

I've also been very curious about the ASUS M51AC:

Was wondering if anyone has any experience with it and how it would compare to my above mentioned specs.
