Is the monitor in the 600-700 budget?

freddylithium

The most i can spend all inclusive would be 750. Monitor size can be reduced if neccesary

A ben q 22inch would be about 115 from italian amazon so that leaves 635 for the rest. This is one that digital solitude specd for someone a few weeks ago which is pretty close and you could probably save a bit on the case if you really wanted to from what he has allowed for or go for a lower spec gpu either. Or even drop cpu to an i3 and save 40-50.

i5 4460 €180
H81M board 50
1tb HDD 50
500w PSU 60
case 50
8gb RAM 50
Second hand R9 290 €200
Total 650

freddylithium

And he is the one that builds them or?

Ant695

No he is just one of the regulars that give people specs when they want to know what parts to use. You should be able to build it yourself or if there is someone on here near you they may well volunteer to help you out with it.

Another alternative if you don't want to build it yourself would be to look at terrorfirmers builds on adverts and see if there is something in your budget and then just grab a monitor.

freddylithium

I haven't got a clue on how to put a PC together. Is it difficult? i.e. hours of tutorials?

Ant695

Not difficult. It's like lego once all the parts are compatible they just click together. Have a look at some build guides on youtube. There are literally thousands and it will give you an idea of what to expect and see if you'd be comfortable with it. I just watched a video this morning of a guy do a build with a 3 year old helping him.

freddylithium

I had a look at terrorfirmers builds on adverts and I saw one for €600. Would you reckon that's a good PC for that price?

Ant695

It is yeah. I was going to link you to that one if you weren't comfortable with building yourself. Should be good for most games and with the 150 left you could even push to a 24 inch monitor if you wanted.

Digital Solitude

Terror has a serious PC for €820, its far better than what you'd build for that money. I know its outside the budget but is worth saving up for imo

freddylithium

Yeah I saw that one too. Might possibly make an offer on one of them. I have to do some more research on all of those specs before I do anything.

How does adverts work in terms of paying?

I think you contact seller and arrange it. Like paypal they would message you their email address, postal order they'd message you their details etc... so depends on how you are paying once you have agreed a price.
