    So I went onto this website during the end of summer with high hopes of having a gaming pc up and running by october, but that never happened due to financial issue's and personal obstacles (sigh). I have also been going to collage and am doing a Pc maintenance course so I have learned a bit since then and a very helpfull member of this site put together a pc for me with a 600 euro budget. I have made some changes to the build and if i can get to show you the basket a link from a german hole sale shop could anyone double check to see itl all work for me. Also do they deliver right to your door and how long is shipping and how much and what are the chances of getting faulty hardware???? If anybody can help me please do

    I posted a link to it below im not sure how to make the basket go onto my page though

    Get a 7850 to replace that 650 ti. The 650 ti is a very weak card.

    Also I'm not sure if the SanDisk SSD is any good. But I've never used one.

    The SanDisk Extreme versions are pretty good performers, the regular ones are very run of the mill.

    OP can you fill in this, and use the this to format your basket into a table

    Initial impressions are that you have selected an i5-3570K and a motherboard that does not support overclocking. Also the GPU is fairly weak for a gaming build as tuxy has pointed out.

    I'd maybe go with something like this. An i3 build would be another option. For an i5/B75 build you'd need to lose the ssd to hit the 800 target. I like this build just because it has possible overclockings options at a later date, and will take an upgrade from AMD steamroller CPUs released next year.

    this looks good the links won't work though. I was looking at the AMD cpu 6 cores at 3.5GHz seems really good for the price would it compare to the i5 i chose. Personally id like an intel but what do you think of the AMD cpu. and the ssd would that be faster loading the operating system than the hdd even though its cheep if not il take that out change the motherboard and go with an i5...... and thank you for your help

    No problem thats a good choice, if you're not bothered about an SSD the i5 is a better processor, best of luck with it.
