Hi everyone!
This is my first build, and i would like some advice on where to buy parts, I have an idea on my build so far but like i said it's my first time building a computer, let alone a Decent Gaming one.


Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Would like to get everything ordered this weekend, Sooner the better!

Budget Range: 400-500 Euros

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming - Media - Surfing Web - Working (Homework/Projects) -

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: Just Buying everything :p

Do you need to buy OS: No, I'm going with Windows 7 ^^

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I don't know of any good websites for parts here in Greece and when i looked up the parts on pcpartpicker UK i noticed they were a bit more expensive if i were to order them from there. So at the moment I'm just using Plaisio.gr

Location: Glyfada, Greece

Parts Preferences: I would like Intel and Nvidia, don't know too much about AMD but I'm pretty sure Intel/Nvidia trumps them :)

Overclocking: Maybe, Not quite sure how or if it's that beneficial, still pretty new to all this

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1440x900

Additional Comments: I'd like a quiet-ish PC if possible and im planning on playing games Like DayZ (Arma 2 Mod), Probably DayZ Standalone, Battlefield 4 etc. My Current PC can barely handle Minecraft at 20 fps XD.

I also put a little list together, i was planning on (You Will more than likely have to translate it all to english :) ) :

Hope it's alright ^_^ i think it's all compatible
Also, I'm not sure about cooling etc.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Well, My computer is fairly old, and it Isn't built for gaming it's more of a office/work PC If that. I'd like to finally be able to play with friends ^_^.

That looks pretty good with the exception of the case and PSU - no name PSUs are *NEVER* a good idea and that case looks like it's just cheap plastic junk. You should definitely go with name brands here - for the PSU anything from Corsair, Antec, XFX, or Seasonic are your best bets. And for case most of the same brands apply.
