700 euro gaming pc?

yehcheese

1. What is your budget?700

2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming(mostly), internet.
3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes

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? I'm fairly sure its 1366x768, i'm content with that.

6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No.

7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No.

8. How can you pay? Debit card

9. When are you purchasing? As soon as possible although i obviously have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to building a computer and as such it hard to predict the delay that would cause.

10. If you need help building it, where are you based?
I'd rather use the 'build' option on hardwareversand, seeing as thats where most people link components from this shouldn't be a problem right? (This apparently adds twenty euros to the price)

Oh also how much does the shipping from hardwaresand cost to dublin?

Thats about the limit to your budget anyways once you include windows. If you arent overclocking you can drop the cpu cooler if you want, might be able to fit an non-overclock intel build in as well (though sticking with AM3+ socket gives you more upgrade options in future). That 7850 seems a tad expensive.
You could save a tenner with this (tenner shipping)

The psu in that build doesnt have sleeved cables, not a major issue but just so you are aware.

Any space limitations or anything else? There is plenty of recent builds around that budget on the forum for ideas

I think you got a little unlucky fourn is usually pretty active..

There are a load of builds recently around the same budget as yours

For 1366x768 gaming that 7850 is more than enough to play any game on highest settings

In regards to the CPU.. It can be easily and safely overclocked.. Although you prob won't need to initially

Building it is not that hard.. Most parts can only go in one way and there will be good instructions both with the parts and online.. The Other Benifit is that if something goes wrong you'll know how to fix it

You won't need much power to get good frames at that res. A 1gb card will do the finest.

Went a bit over budget to throw a nice case in. There's plenty of cheaper cases that will do fine as well. Might as well pick one you like. It won't matter much if you aren't overclocking.

That case is available in silver and white as well and is sound dampened. Probably the best value case atm. Has 3 fans, good features and looks great. I can see them going up in price once they start selling.
