    Hey guys, gonna try keep it short and sweet. Gaming PC just to get someone up and running again. It want it small, concise and also, cheap. I have a few rough ideas for a build but I'd like to get a second opinion.

    1. What is your budget? [€300]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming/Internet/Drawing] (Mainly FPS' like CSGO, CSS, Killing Floor, some RTS like Starcraft, etc etc)

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [No]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [Hard drive/DVD Drive] Potentially a GT9400 or a Gainward HD4850 (This is only if the budget gets pretty tight)

    5. Do you need a monitor? [No]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1920x1080 x2] [No]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes]

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser]

    9. When are you purchasing? [ASAP]

    I'm mainly looking for recommendations for a Mobo, GPU, CPU and a PSU.
    I'd also be interesting in trying to get some parts perhaps second hand so I'm scanning adverts and the likes for anything useful. Thanks in advance for the help guys.
