    I have been looking at a lot of threads in r/buildapcforme and other such sources of gaming pc's in my budget of €500. This is the build I have put together and I was looking for helpful criticism from some experienced people considering I am relatively new to this. Sorry for not having any links but I am not allowed to post any due to being "new".
    Thanks in advance!
