$500 budget

I don't have a mouse, a keyboard, a monitor, or even a hard drive—though I do have an SSD
I'm looking to hook up two monitors, assuming the motherboard actually supports that kind of thing...
The PC just needs to handle Corel and some Office work.
I'm willing to shell out a few extra bucks if it means getting a more solid configuration...

It’s a Zalman ZM-T1 PLUS micro tower. Dimensions are 189(W) x 427.5(H) x 364(D)mm. Supports micro ATX / Mini ITX motherboards.
ASRock B85M Pro3, s1150.

8GB stick of Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3. 1866MHz, CL10, 1.5V. It's got standard PnP timing parameters. Simple enough.

👍

It’s such a steal... I might just throw in a little extra luck and call it a win.
Can I actually hook up two monitors to an Intel graphics card?

One monitor via VGA, the other through DVI.

I think I can still squeeze this Kingston SSD 120 GB V300 into the budget
Is it actually any good?...

Is he doing alright?

He isn't quite as legendary as everyone makes him out to be—if you have the option, I'd honestly suggest heading over to... $13 Is this SSD a bit on the pricey side?

I couldn't find any specific details or context attached to that link—it looks like just a product page from an American retailer. If you were trying to show me a specific part or ask for my thoughts on some hardware, could you drop a quick note about what it is? I'd love to weigh in once I know what we're looking at.

That’s great,
I should be able to make it through $13 🙂

The PC is running great, but I was wondering if there's a decent graphics card out there that won't blow out my current power supply?
I'm not looking to run some massive AAA title at max settings or anything—just looking for something that can handle World of Tanks or WoW when I have a spare moment... those would probably be the only games I'd play. Right now, I'm stuck using integrated graphics, and while it works, I’d really love to actually be able to bump up the settings a bit...

So, how much love you got left in the tank?

1000-$400, though I suppose I could push it a bit higher—if I actually felt like putting in the effort... which, let's be honest, I don't really feel like doing right now. If there’s anything available for that, though...

R9 270

An EVGA GTX 950 Best Buy is definitely the move if you're looking at this price point.

Do you think the power supply can actually handle that? I mean, if I'm gaming, it would only be for maybe an hour a day at most...

EVGA TS Series 450 w? You'll be just fine.

Is there any particular overseas shop you'd recommend I hit up? I've got some funds sitting in my PayPal account just waiting to be put to good use...

I know some domestic retailers like Magazin RS offer PayPal as a payment option, but obviously, you're going to pay a premium for that convenience.

In Germany, PayPal
