Cheapest Mini-ITX Case? SILVERSTONE SUGO SG-13 - Surprise Giveaway !!


Customarily people build pc in Mid-Tower ATX cabinets and finding a room for your ATX desktop is always burdensome to many people and especially for people in India with one room and numberless stuffs on their table. So worry not, we have a solution! Why don’t we go for Mini-ITX build which will use less space and gives a beast like gaming performance? Throw away your mediocre laptops and go for compact and portable ITX builds.

Silverstone is a unique case manufacturer which has exceptional types of cases in different layouts and unique design. It is notable for its different small form factor cases and its legendary air penetrator fans. Here we have Silverstone SG-13B (B stands for Black, Mesh front panel) which is elegant compact and fits into practically any space without standing out like a sore thumb. Before going to the description check our detailed Unboxing and Review of Silverstone Sugo SG-13 cabinet in our channel. Smash the Like button and Subscribe our channel here’s the linkWe are making a GIVEAWAY CONTEST once we reach 1,000 Subscribers, so subscribe us fast Hurry up! Participate in our Giveaway - Steam Gift Card worth Rs. 1,000 or PUBG PC Title


From the front, The Silverstone SG-13 comes with a grid like front panel with mesh and it is removable. It also comes with 2 USB 3.0 pins, headphone and microphone jack. Underneath the front panel we have dust filters and mounting holes used to install fans (radiators) up to 1x120mm/140mm.

 
The sides and top panel has grill vents for ventilation and easy airflow but doesn’t have any dust filters. The power and reset button are on the top side of the panel. Underneath the top panel you can install Two 2.5” SSD or One 3.5” HDD.
 

The rear view has enough room space for power supply bracket, Motherboard I/O panel and two external expansion slots. Like many Mini-ITX gaming cases, the expansion slots are secured externally rather than internally.


 


The bottom of the cabinet has one more dedicated 2.5” SSD support. The bottom of the case comes with motherboard mounting points pre-installed. It also has four rubber stands beneath the case and no opening for airflow which I think isn’t a problem as the dust would’ve collected in the bottom. This Sugo SG-13 is capable of housing Mini-DTX or Mini-ITX motherboards, a standard ATX power supply up to 150mm long or SFX power supply and a 10.5" dual-slot graphics card. We recommend you to find SFX power supply which uses less space and gives more room for other components.

The sides and top panels of the case are of single piece and removable. I wish that Silverstone should’ve used thumbscrews instead the normal screws here which would’ve made panel removable a lot easier. Once removed you can see the frame is of solid steel and they are quite huge which makes Sugo SG-13 heavy duty. This Sugo SG-13 comes in many variants with colors of Black, White and Pink. Here are some of the recommended products stated in the official product page:

 Remarks:
* Installing larger 140mm based radiator or fan will require the removal of the upper drive cage and sacrifice available room for graphics card to 9.3" (236mm) minus the thickness of the radiator.
* Maximum length for PSU is 150mm; we recommend 140mm due to varying connector locations on PSUs and the unique structure of SG13.

The Silverstone Sugo SG-13 is currently unavailable due to Pandemic Covid-19 situation. So we are unable to hyperlink the prices in India but we have attached prices that are available in international markets. The prices are same regardless the models you choose to buy.

Best gaming PC build at Rs. 30,000 for PUBG and other AAA Titles: April 2020

Low on budget for gaming? Fear not! We got you covered. This is the right place to look for budget gaming.

Building a PC is very confusing and time consuming because picking a right component which is economical and squeezes the best possible performance is very essential. If your dad has given you a budget and you are an entry level enthusiast gamer then you’re at a right place. We will help you in assembling a gaming pc which will come under a budget of Rs. 30,000 and gives best possible performance in that budget.

We have heard from a lot of people that gaming pc can be built with a budget of at least Rs. 50,000 or Rs. 60,000 but you are mistaken, you don’t have to kill your pocket and you can still play those same AAA game titles in 1080p high settings with this low budget gaming beast with 60 frame rate and no lag (so tell your friends, you are no longer a Noob). Not only gaming but also it can handle light content creation or various processing.

But if you are still looking for a budget build under Rs. 50,000 then bring your cursor and click here. For now let’s go to our budget build at Rs. 30,000 tour and I bet this build will not disappoint you at all.

Disclaimer alert: We have assembled this build by using online prices from MD Computers, Prime abgb and The IT Depot. Prices may vary if you buy from your local dealer. If you are buying the parts locally then bingo you can make this build even at more low-cost. With the cost you saved you can upgrade few components as well which I will let you guys know in the end.

BEST BUDGET CPU FOR GAMING: AMD Ryzen 3 1200/1200af (link)

AMD Ryzen 3 1200/1200AF

Intel is always ahead in its single core performance but now AMD has changed the dictatorship by introducing its new Ryzen CPU. As it is a budget build, we are going for AMD’s Ryzen 3 1200/1200AF which is a quad core processor clocked at 3.4 GHz. We hardly recommend if you are purchasing processor at local market, search for Ryzen 3 1200 AF model having a box No- YD1200BBAFBOX. They are not available in the online market. The price link we have given is of Ryzen 3 1200. This processor is great for gaming as well as video editing. It also comes with stock cooler which you don’t have to purchase separately. If you want to know more about the processor then we have made a review on AMD Ryzen 3 1200.

Best budget Motherboard for gaming: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX (link)

MSI A320M-A PRO MAX

Picking the right motherboard for your build is very important because it controls all the parts of pc. We chose MSI A320M-A PRO MAX because it’s cheaper and high quality Motherboard. Some of you might be thinking why we chose A320 series rather than going for B450 series motherboard which has better options for future upgradability. Well our answer is budget is the only constraint. We made this build by looking in mind for current available market prices and the gamers who aren’t much interested in upgrading the components like CPU. If you guys can lift up your budget by pleasing your father then at the end of this article we have made another build under Rs. 35,000 which will perform the same and help you for future upgradability. But for now we are sticking to MSI A320M-A PRO MAX which is very best deal at this price point. You can also buy any A320 motherboard from any reputable brands like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI or ASrock depending on pricing and availability.

Best Budget Graphic Card for Gaming: Asus Radeon Rog Strix RX 570 4GB (link)


As I have promised for 1080p gaming with 60 fps in high settings and better performance, This Asus Radeon Strix RX570 is the best choice. The right gamer will always choose a better graphic card which can outperform most of the other gaming build with high CPU and higher RAM. This graphic card is cheaper and handles top AAA game titles easily. We have seen many articles online suggesting entry level graphic card like Nvidia GTX 1030 which is an inappropriate choice because it cannot run AAA title games at high settings. We suggest you guys to look for graphic card in local market which will save cost.  This is the best you can get for this build.

Best RAM for Ryzen 3 1200AF:  Adata XPG D30 8GB DDR4 3000MHz (link)


Before going to RAM specification there is one thing we suggest before buying a RAM for your pc. You should always put ram in dual channel mode (i.e., two RAM sticks) especially for Ryzen build with identical higher frequency that you can get in budget from identical brand; because it will improve your speed and performance of pc while gaming and video editing. Our motherboard supports DDR4 ram up to 3200MHz, we have picked a single 8GB RAM stick with frequency of 3000MHz because there were no 4GB RAM with higher frequency in online market. We recommend you to find a pair of 4GB RAM’s with equal higher frequency and it will cost you same as this 8GB RAM or maybe less.

Recommended SMPS or PSU: Corsair VS450 (link)


This Corsair VS450W power supply is affordable and sufficient choice for this build. As we are building a budget build we don’t need any bronze or higher certification SMPS.

Storage: WD 10EZEX 7200RPM 1TB (link)


There are two options here you can go for HDD or SSD. We have chosen WD 10EZEX 7200RPM 1TB HDD because at this price point you can either buy 1TB HDD or 256GB SSD which will not be a sufficient storage.

Best Cabinet: Antec GX202 (link)


Picking a right cabinet with right size and has room for Airflow is very important. Antec GX202 is the best budget Mid Tower Airflow gaming cabinet which comes with very good I/O support, proper Cable management and enough space for storage drives. This cabinet comes with preinstalled one rear fan of 120mm and two white LED fans of 120mm in the front. This cabinet is simple but better than cheap cabinet Intex or Zebronics and gives the best gaming feel with fully transparent side window.

Here the total cost of the build is very slightly higher than Rs. 30,000 it’s because of the online prices which will fluctuate at any time. But we recommend you all either to buy all the components from local market or partially local which will save a lot of cost.

We have made another build under Rs. 35,000 with all the same specs except the motherboard which we have selected Gigabyte B450M DS3H. We made this build because if anyone is likely to invest little more than 30k with a purpose of upgrading their pc in future for better performance rather than building a new one. The main upgrade will be on SSD, processor and RAM which the motherboard can handle at ease. The Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard also supports 4 DDR4 RAM slots expandable up to 64GB and has an RGB connector for your gaming style. With just lower investment in future you can increase the performance of pc, Play game titles at very high res, high Frame rate and faster video editing and rendering or content creation. You can compare above and choose the right low budget gaming build.

Future Upgrade options:

If you plan to upgrade you pc in future when you save some extra money, then you can add these following things:

SSD: The very first upgrade should be an SSD which will help in booting up pc and load the titles faster. You can install your Windows operating system in it. Here we have suggested ADATA Ultimate SU800 256GB M.2 SSD which is best in budget with price of Rs. 3,025. This SSD is faster than other SATA III 2.5 inch SSD because it contains DRAM (Dedicated RAM) in it, so it does not consume the PC’s RAM which in turn helps in stable performance.

Processor: If you are likely to go for build under Rs. 35,000 then the B450 series motherboard can handle present generations Ryzen 3rd generation processor and can increase in performance exceptionally.

So, that is our list of components for low budget gaming pc build under Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 35,000. We highly recommend you to impress your father to spend some extra Rs. 4,000 for future upgradability. We will sooner come with a lot of new builds between the prices of Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1 Lakh with reasonable components explaining why and how.
