    1. What is your budget? €350-500 for a PC that would last 3ish years.

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming (League of Legends mostly, maybe CSS or L4D2).

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Hard-Drive, Power supply (5 year old 1000W) and maybe the case

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5a. If yes, what size do you need.
    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1920 x 1200. I don't plan to upgrade in the future
    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No peripherals needed

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Nope

    8. How can you pay? Whatever

    9. When are you purchasing? Whenever but the preference is soon as possible.

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? No help needed

    Other comments:

    My current PC (5 years old) has an E8500 and a 4770 and is starting to blue screen, freeze, takes forever to turn on and is making a loud noise while on.

    I wouldn't mind getting a SSD and a quiet build (So it can be on without a lot of noise).

    Damn, it's not stickied any more.

    Basically, we need to know more about what you want to help you. So. Budget? What will the computer be used for? Do you have any parts already? Monitor? HDD? Do you need an operating system? Etc.
