building a budget gaming pc

irishlad94

its my first time building a gaming pc i want to spend no more than 600e and have no earthly idea where to start. games are mainly gta and tomb raider/uncharted styles so a wide array of colours also need a monitor as this will be my first desktop. my main priority is decent graphics, speed and storage. any help would be massively appreciated

Cutting it tight with a monitor. Hardly stretch to €650 or less?

1080p monitor €100-120
Second hand R9 270X €135
i3 4160 €115
H81 board €60
400w PSU €50
1tb HDD €55
8gb RAM €52
Zalman T4 €20

That's actually €620 delivered. If you can't stretch at all let on.

Any Qs ask away

The magician that is digital solitude strikes again. Didn't think that'd be possible at all. A decent gaming pc for 600 sure but a monitor as well. Never fail to amaze me.

I was just wondering where I would get those parts for that price? And thank you

Best best is going to be hardwareversand.de and use geizhals.de to get a bit of a discount as well.

Hardwareversand.de after using the geizhals.de affiliate site.

Get the R9 270X from ie.webuy.com, or a CEX if there's one near you.

Will preform better than a PS4 or Xone for the time being, hopefully a few years before they catch up, if at all. Check out steam to see the prices you'll be paying for games.

Uncharted is a PS exclusive though, not to burst the bubble

And lastly what type of monitor is best to get for that kind of price?

Digital Solitude

BenQ 2450 is about that price, 24" 1080p

If you're struggling with geizhals shout and I'll post links, not everyone gets it

Yeah I'm struggling with the website a bit I don't know what brand of Rams and such?

That's everything, bar the graphics card. Total from HWVS is 465 so you should match budget

You will have more exposed on the back of the case directly from the motherboard.
