    Mostly Gaming

    Mostly Gaming

    Any particular reason you are getting 16 gigs of ram and using a big 100 euro 700w gold rated PSU for the parts you picked? What is total cost of the build you done up.

    Its a horrible horrible PC for the price!! I take it your budget is around 650? You only need 8GB of Ram as well.
