    This will be the first ever pc I will be building myself. I’ve seen a couple YouTube video on it but that’s pretty much it. My friend kinda recommended me a build but I don’t know anything about it

    Also I’d love if I could do an RGB vomit pc, that would be really amazing.

    If you could also recommend where I can buy these parts that would be great too!

    1. What is your budget?
    €2,000-2,500

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?
    Gaming and streaming, I mostly play mmorpgs like FFXIV<, WoW, or GW2, and major AAA games

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows?
    Maybe? I have a license for my laptop which is broken and I’m replacing it with this new pc but I’m not sure if I can transfer the license.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer?
    No

    5. Do you need a monitor?
    No
    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] [Yes/No]
    I have a 1440 now and might get another one because I like dual monitor setup

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals?
    Just a speaker

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking?
    Yes, in the future when I’m more comfortable

    8. How can you pay?
    Bank transfer, debit card

    9. When are you purchasing?
    As soon as possible

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based?
    Cork city



    Heres the build my friend set up for me

    Intel Core i7-10700K 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor
    Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler
    Asus ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING ATX LGA1200 Motherboard
    Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
    Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
