Don't like the 128GB SSD. I'd say 256GB SSD is the smallest you should get for the Windows drive.. I'm not saying buy them from newegg in the US... you can buy from where ever you want... just get one of the "models" at that link I posted.

I know its not ideal.. Aleeady stretching my budget.
I would have like Windows, d2, CS go on The SSD, but maybe Will get too full anyway. All those modells go for higher prices here.

Yesh

Guys,

How much difference would 8gb vs 16 do? Is 2x4 better then 1x8?
I think I Will go for an i7-8750h as CPU.
Also for my needs; is 1060 needed or Will 1050 ti do good enough?

1060is ideal imo so you get 250+ fps in csgo.
8gb is fine. 2x4>
Dont worry about ssd size. If you save 50+ then get smaller one and buy a larger one later to replace it if you need to.

Get one that has all this... or you WILL be wasting money replacing good parts for NO reason.

15.6", 256 SSD + 1TB HDD, 16gb RAM , Intel core i7, 1920x1080p or better, 1050Ti or 1060 or better, and finally by lowest price...
