    Hi guys,

    Have recently thought about putting together a new gaming build, I'm not necessarily looking to play the latest and greatest games but it would be nice. That said, willing to move a small bit on budget if needed. Any and all help would be appreciated.

    I would have a preference for intel over amd.

    1. What is your budget? €400 ish

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming, Browsing etc

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? I can rip my current pc for the SSD & HDD's

    5. Do you need a monitor? No.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Always

    8. How can you pay? Card, transfer, paypal etc.

    9. When are you purchasing? Maybe 2-3 weeks

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Should be ok.

    Thanks folks

    Tiny bit over budget
