In it's current carnation, my PC is bordering on about 5 years old now, though bits of it date back to 98. I figure it's high time to start a new build from scratch. My hope is to build a future proof PC that will still run the latest games at max or close settings in 3 years time. I'm a bit out of the loop on modern tech, but spent the last couple of weeks browsing this form, along with various hardware review and comparision sites.

Originally I wanted to aim for a budget of €800. Building a PC is all about compromise, and I realised that I had to compromise too much for €800, so I let the budget swell a bit. I came up with the build listed below, it's slightly over the €1100 I wanted to spend, but I'm for the quality and performance, I think it wil be worth it. I would appreciate thoughts, perhaps I haven't chosen some components that are the best for the price, or some could be replaced with cheaper parts that are just as good.

Also, I've been building my own PC for about 10 years now, but tbh I'm a bit sick of it. I was nearly going to buy a pre-built, but as usual, you just can't find good value in those. I noticed HWVS have an assembly service for only €20, does anyone have experience of it? Do they just assemble and test the components, or do they install the OS on top of that. I think I saw another service listed as sofware install for €50, which seems a bit steep. Ideally it would be nice to unbox it, plug in the monitor and switch it on, but the pricing might be excessive to expect that.

They just put the parts together and give you the leftovers. They won't put in heavy heatsinks and cards that could get damaged in shipping. They probably test that it switches on but that's it.

It might be no harm to get windows 7 Pro in case you go above 16GB of RAM... depending on your work, although 16GB is a lot. If you're a student or have kids going to school, you can get this a bit cheaper with software4students.

Thanks I'll check out windows pro. About the memory, as I mentioned, I want a future proof computer as much as my budget will allow. When I build my current PC, 1 GB was the norm, and people thought you were mad to go over 2. At the moment my 4 GB struggles. RAM is cheap at the moment, an extra €40 is worth it, even if I won't see the full benefit of it for a few years.

It sounds like the assembly service isn't really worth it. Guess I'll just suck it up and build it myself
