New Budget PC for gaming <€650

mp5sd5

<EDIT> hit the wrong button, figure is €650

Finally got the money, been needing to do this for a while, my old PC finally gave out after many many problems, need to buy pretty much a whole new PC, looking for an i5, would prefer a 750 just for future-proofing, should I wait till they shrink or buy now? I have a small hard drive still (half) working from my old PC, and I have a new 5770 I've been dying to use I also don't really wanna spend to much for Windows 7, still have an RC key and 32-bit disc but I wanna go 64-bit, will I need to find a torrent for that and use the same key? Or will I have to spend on the full 64-bit version?

Anyway list of stuff I need;
HDD - preferably 1/1.5 TB and 7200RPM
Case - looks don't matter, smaller is better
CPU - i5?
CPU HS- something quiet enough, with cooling enough for OCing
Mobo - something with easy enough OCing, P55>H55
RAM - 4GB at least, 1333 or 1600 MHz
PSU - whatever'll power everything with enough room for OCing
I have a GPU and DVD +/-RW drive

I know it's an ambitious build for the price, fingers crossed ye can help

For €550 unless you go dirt cheap on pretty much everything you won't get an i5 in there, you'll have to make do with an i3.

This is around €550 and there's no aftermarket cooler, you just can't get all you want in €550, if someone does I'll be impressed!

He already says he has a 32bit key. He just needs the 64bit disc.

Sorry hit the wrong number, meant €650 :P

Well you'll have to download Windows 7 then. But what will you do when the RC runs out in June I think it is.

This comes to about €640. Mobo has 6GBs sata and 2 USB 3.0 for a little bit of future proofing too. I always liked that mobo.

AFAIK it becomes semi-unusable from the beginning of March. System will hang or shut down every 1-2 hours until you buy a retail copy. It'll self-destruct completely on June 1st IIRC.

Fixed

Thanks for the fix.
Yeah I was hoping I'd be able to get that mobo actually In regards Windows I can save up for the full W7 in March making do with the RC until then, can't really afford a full OS right now, could I buy an Upgrade Version and install that over the RC?

Solitaire

~€80 for an OEM version - handy if you're not replacing the mobo anytime soon

And no, you can't install anything over the RC, you're supposed to do a fresh install once you have a paid license

Tried to keep it similar to what has been posted. This has better ram, and a ** edit, just noticed you had a DVD drive so I added a cooler.
