    Hey,

    Trying to get a decent gaming build for a friend for less than €500. He already has a graphics card (ASUS EAH5750 FORMULA).


    How does this look?
    Also, how much is delivery from Hardwareversand ?

    The CPU is overkill paired with that graphics card, but he can always change it in the future...

    Shipping costs 30Euro, and 3% of cost extra if you pay with PayPal.

    That's about €90 off your build right there.

    Drop the cooler+paste, not needed on that sort of budget
    Get the 7200rpm Spinpoint F3 500GB instead, the green drives aren't great as boot drive. The 6GB/s is lies for any mechanical hard drive.
    You could change the case to a Xigmatek Asgard
