First time build- please help

nadser99

Decided to attempt to build my own pc. Not too worried bout the actual building of it but to be honest don't have much of a clue bout the best components for my budget. Which is 600 euro.

1. What is your budget? 600euro
2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming, Internet, Downloads
3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes
4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No
5. Do you need a monitor? Yes
5a. If yes, what size do you need. 19 or 20
6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Wireless
7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes
8. How can you pay? Credit Card, PayPal
9. When are you purchasing? 2-4 weeks


I know its a big ask considering my budget but any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could use your TV (presuming you have one ) instead of a monitor for a while.
Probably a better idea to spend that 80euro on the GPU instead of the cheap monitor that you will likely want to upgrade again in a while seeing as its only 1366 x 768.

There's a good BenQ 22" 1080p monitor that I had in the build before I decided on the 18.5", but it was €100 so its a no-go.

Really appreciate the fast replies. I think thats a good idea bout the monitor. Pobably will hold off on it and put the money into the GPU. You guys are the best. Thanks for the advice.:D
