    Dont worry man, someone will knock a build up for you.

    With your budget you should be playing most new games at 1080p at or close to max settings bar the very demanding games like Crysis 3,Metro:Last Light but they would run nicely with a few settings turned down.

    The monitor and copy of windows does push up the cost of the build so id expect to be spending close to the €1000 mark.

    You'll get a very nice machine for that:)

    You would be looking at parts like:

    I5 4670k
    Asrock pro3/4 z87 motherboard
    8Gb of ram
    128gb ssd
    1tb hdd
    AMD Radeon r9 280x or Nvidia GTX 760

    That would be about the sort of system you would be looking at.

    If someone hasnt thrown you up a build by later ill post one up for you to get the ball rolling.

    Although bloodbath (very knowledgeable and regular poster here) normally gets round to throwing up a build for most people who ask on here, and he knows his stuff!
