First PC Build
Hollister11
I'm looking to build my first PC. My main uses will be programming, YouTube, Netflix, photo editing, and football manager.
Hey guys, would appreciate your advice. Have my own ideas, but would like some more knowledgeable opinions first. Thanks.
1. What is your budget? ~600. Could expand on that a bit if really needed
2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? As above
3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes. I assume I can't use the same key as my laptop
4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No
5. Do you need a monitor? Yes
5a. If yes, what size do you need. 24"
6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Keyboard, Mouse

8. How can you pay? Debit Car, PayPal, Credit Card

Steep to fit a monitor there too.
What's your own list?
i5 6400 €180
H150m €50
8gb DDR4 €35
120gb SSD €60
400w PSU €40
Case €40
1tb HDD €50
Total €455
At 600 rough with a monitor
Get Windows when you can afford it

I can save a bit more for a monitor. If my budget is 700 without a monitor what could I get.

The above with a better/nicer case. Add another 40 for the case. Another 30 for another 8gb RAM.
I'd say FM will run on the iGPU, if not, or you want a full gaming rig, a 460 or 1050.
After that, biggggger SSD
600 was actually easier than I was expecting, you can probably fit two monitors in handy enough seeing as you seem to be able to save okay.
A 1080p monitor is about 130, 1440p has much more room and is about 200
