    At first I wanted to build my pc and I have all the parts picked out
    I3 processor
    Evga 750 GTX
    1TB
    8gb ram
    430 corsair 80+ bronze PSU
    Case
    MSI h8m1-p33 motherboard
    Windows 10

    But it cost 615 euro

    Can anyone find me any better/just as good parts for cheaper or a good pre built pc for cheaper . Any help would be much appreciated.

    If you want cheaper buy second hand, check out adverts.ie. But make sure to do your research as there are plenty of 8 year old "gaming PC's" being sold there for €400.

    I wouldn't recommend going any cheaper than an i3 and GTX750 for a modern build because the next card down from the GTX750 would be only about €20 cheaper and about 40% slower. You can get the Intel G3220 which is as good as the i3 in about 80% of games and costs half the price but in some games like GTA V and Battlefield 4 online its weak.

    So again I would stick with the i3+GTX750 combo.

    I don't know where you are getting your prices from but I just built one just now on Dabs.ie and it comes in at around €530 for this delivered:

    i3-4170
    H81 Motherboard
    ThermalTake Versa Case
    8GB Ram
    GTX750Ti 2GB
    64GB Sandisk SSD
    1TB Hard Drive
    430w EVGA PSU

    It would be under €500 if you drop the SSD.

    His Windows 10 licence I'd say.

    If you're willing to chance it, you can get a W7 key for €20 from reddit Jack. I've never had problems with them, but Terror and a few others have so there is a risk involved.
