What resolution is you monitor? You could get away with half the budget if its 720p

1080p

It's this monitor, using a HDMI>DVI converter.

I attached a sample below (all part seem to be in stock at the moment at hardwareversand).



If you need lots of storage you could bang in a hard drive on top of that (and even pick a smaller SSD to offset the cost somewhat).

You could go cheaper on the motherboard if you want (as cheap as €40-50), just make sure it if you need any particular feature it has it.

The motherboard and case are both m-atx, which its middle of the road in size, there are smaller (which are a bit more awkward to build in) which save space and can look neater, and larger which are easier to build in and has more scope for adding additional components, better cooling etc.

Up to yourself and your needs.

I picked the case as it was cheap and in stock, but seeing as you are going to be looking at it for the forseable future you should probably pick something you are happy with. Other factors like how quiet the case is may come into it as well, you can check up reviews if so

If you need a dvd/BR drive you will need to add it. The motherbaord comes with normally 2 sata cables for connecting drives, so if you end up with an SSD, hard drive and dvd drive it would be worth adding another cable to the basket.

If you intend running any power hungry programmes other than gaming it might be worth mentioning.

There are better brands and models of that graphics card, im not really well up on it, but that one was in stock and at the cheaper end.

Hardwareversand (where these are priced), dont take debit card, only bank transfer and paypal (+3%).

Also have a search of the forum (or look through some of the threads) on how to use geizhels.de , which is a discount site, could knock 5-10% off your total costs.
