    1. What is your budget?
    I

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming, mostly current console generation level games (Watch Dogs, new Arkham game, Far Cry 4, etc); ideally it'd last me at least two years. I'm fine with medium level graphics.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes (though I can use linux for the few games I have so it's not a necessity).

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No.

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes. If it's not too expensive. I can currently use a 1024x768 one.

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. 24 inch

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?
    1024x768. Plan on 1920x1080

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Just something that'll let me connect by wifi in the room below

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes (assuming it won't void warranty)

    8. How can you pay? Credit Card/Cash

    9. When are you purchasing? in 21-28 days

    All in all I just want a PC that'll last be about two years, has wi-fi and ideally, gotten from a website that'll build it for me like this place: http://www.hardwareversand.de/home.jsp

    Oh and I don't mind having a slow 250GB HDD or something. I can alway upgrade it when I get money. At the moment I just want something that'll play games
    One other thing which be massively helpful would be a card that has two HDMI ports so I could use my tv as a monitor for games and use the small monitor for browsing the internet or whatnot.

    I'd advise not gaming on the tv to be honest, as the response time is generally quite poor. Also overclocking the cpu is a very grey area. Even though it's what the k series are for, it still voids it afaik, and you would have to buy an extended warranty.

    Videocard is pre-owned afaik, but should give very good performance.

    I've played a few games form my laptop on it and it seemed fine.

    Well I'll change ot not overclocking but I did pull this up:
    4HV20Y347DE Intel Core i5-3470 Box, LGA1155 161,86 €
    HV1148UZDE ASUS H61M-F, Sockel 1155, mATX, DDR3 36,74 €
    HV20MI70DE 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport Series DDR3-1333, CL9-9-9-24 63,29 €
    HV203CK1DE Cooltek CT-7788 schwarz, 500W ATX 2.2 33,45 €
    HV1025N5DE KFA² GeForce GTX 760 EX, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort 197,59 €
    HV12H5K5DE HGST Travelstar Z5K500 500GB 7mm 36,87 €
    HV25TP78DE TP-Link TL-WN781N, 150Mbps, PCIe x1 10,99 €
    HV33W7H6DE Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (SB-Version) 83,59 €
    HVZPCDE Rechner - Zusammenbau 11,00 € (this is the assembly)

    Total value: 608,85 €

    I'm kinda deadset on the 760 though not sure what brand I want. From what I've seen on YT it seems to be the best card for value. And apparently the site didn't say there were problems with anything I picked so I assume this isn't too bad a build.

    No they definately wouldn't be the best you can get get either an r9 280x or else the card above. Also get windows on reddit software swap for 70 euro off.
