    1. What is your budget? around 550 for the guts of the machine, haven't considered a graphics card yet.

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming for older games (current config w/out GPU) and modern games on moderate graphics levels (with graphics card)

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? no.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No, have an existing rig with fairly antediluvian GPU (GeForce GT 1030) but lots of mem & TBs of HDD that will become a photo editing / general use machine.

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    Will probably just buy in bulk from amazon.de for simplicities sakes. Basically looking to swap out an existing machine with one that has, for now, similar GPU power (the integrated graphics on the 5600G are about on par with the GT 1030 apparently) but more modern and performant in every other respect. Most of the other machine was pretty top end about ... ohh ... 10 years ago. Plan is to pick up a graphics card a bit later, but it'll be reasonably entry level as well. I need WIFI on the MB because I want some flexibility as to where this goes, and Micro ATX with, admittedly a fairly large case, but it's smaller than the existing one. One system drive, one drive for everything else.
