That valuation of the i5 4570 is a little low, even second-hand.
Windows 10 Pro is (if bought legit from Microsoft, which I highly doubt) way more than €80. So I'm not sure what to do with that cost.

I think €820 is a reasonable starting price, but you could probably haggle down as far as €700-750 and be happy with that. I'm allowing a little in the way of actually building the PC here too.

Yes you will get better value from building yourself. The parts are also last generation. Though that doesn't mean a lot in terms of performance upgrade. More a lack of futureproofing options.

Have a go filling out the form from the stickies. No harm in having a few options to choose from!

Its actually over estimating, average ebay price by sold listings is £80.

And Windows 10 is available for £80 on Amazon. Sold & Fulfilled by themselves.

Dont know but I was watching one on eBay out of curiosity and it's bidding is at 145 euro plus 10 posting from Glasgow. Cheapest I seen were about 110 but posted from us which is another 15 and tax on top of that and time waiting on delivery.

It's easy say Ohh it's only worth this much but its a ready to go build all built and parts put together and while I'd say 820 is pushing it I'd go along with valuation about 750 in my opinion.

The above would be a better bet. Just note that the H110 motherboard must be the DDR4 version, and the DDR4 RAM will only support basic 2133MHz, so no point in going for 2400MHz really.

The thing to also remember is that you can't take listed prices on adverts as 'the price'. Every seller has to make allowance for the inevitable blend of decent to ridiculous offers. Some do more than others.

If that were me and I had a machine for sale for €820, it means I would take around €700ish.

I'm planning the PC as a surprise gift for my stepson. He's been saving for a PC himself (with and intended target of €1200) but due to unforeseen circumstances, I'd like to try cheer him up and maybe take his mind off things.I wanted to do this for him. I'm not a gamer myself but I've been told that "he plays World of Warcraft mostly, his current pc is very laggy on World of Warcraft, he needs a good graphics card".
So any further suggestions on spend/spec's etc. would be very useful.
Thanks
