Hardwareversand comes highly recommend when buying components for a build, but, there have been a lot of **** ups reported on this forum from them building it. I'd go with Bloodbaths pre build linked above. It's a fair price and at least you know the job will be done right.

Item|Price
be quiet! SYSTEM POWER 7 500W - bulk -|€53.59
8GB-Kit G-Skill RipJaws PC3-12800U CL9|€66.03
WD Blue 1TB 6Gb's|€52.43
BitFenix Merc Alpha|€32.93
Gainward GeForce GTX 760, 2GB DDR5|€216.29
AMD FX-8320 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+|€132.54
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0, AM3+, ATX|€66.26
Shipping|€18.99
Total|€638.88

Or if you want to build your own and get your own source of windows this is a much stronger build. I could go i5 non overclocking version either to fit it in the 600 mark or go with the FX 6300. Only thing that is missing is the CPU cooler but you can add that whenever. Not a neccessity this stage to buy it and overclock at this stage.

I'll knock up an i5 build in a bit but 760 is much much stronger than a 7870

Yes, absolutely up to date. He posts in this forum all the time and recommends builds. He's no cowboy.

would it work out much cheaper for me to build it myself? will it have better graphics then a ps4? also what fps should i expect from something like this in the games mentioned?

If you're up to doing it yourself then you really should because you'll be in a better position to fix it if things go wrong. I only recommend Bloodbath because you wanted to pay to get it done at Hardwareversand.

if i was to go with building it myself would i be using pritty much the same parts as bloodbath? i think if everyone is in agreement i will just go ahead and buy his build then

If you are not familiar with computer parts and don't fancy spending a few hours fiddling with wires and possibly plugging cables into the wrong sections then get it built by someone who does it regularly.

If you need to add parts yourself later on then at least you'll know how it all fits together correctly and will be able to unplug the part and replace it in an identical fashion.

Also I assume you still need to add thermal gel to the CPU etc these days? (been about 10 years since I last did a build). Messy stuff.

Yep I knew what you meant, I was saying that you should get him to build it for you (unless you want to fiddle with all the wires/thermal compounds, etc yourself)

No you won't need anything other than cash if you get him to build it.

Get a better graphics card than the 7870 though. You should be able to fit it in

would i just be better off offering the build he made instead of changeing it all with a new graphics card?

Note bearfear's build doesnt include a OS aswell. Thats another 70 euro or so if you cnt source a free one in college.

Yep. Can always upgrade later, but by the looks of it that setup is good.
