Hello guys,
I have created multiple threads on this forum in the past, but never got to build the builds you guys suggested me due to certain circumstances.

But now, I have no choice, because my laptop is dying 🙁
I have a budget of 600-630$, but where I live the prices arent as good as in UK or US (I live in the Netherlands)
The games I play now on my laptop are Minecraft, TF2, CIV and some other low-end games.
I have no plans on playing any next-gen games. Keyboard, mousepad, mouse, headphones and OS are not necessary. However I do need a monitor.

I hope you guys can help me out.
If I forgot anything just ask me and I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Also I do not prefer AMD over Intel or anything like that, just what is best for my budget to still get at least 60 FPS.

Thanks in advance,
Sep

The i3 has hyper threading and has better single threading performance than the FX-6300 and FX-8320. This build is better and you can also upgrade to Intel Broadwell in the future.

i3-4150 > FX-8320 > FX-6300

I wouldn't worry mate. I post a lot of builds here and the others usually agree with my ideas, so I presume that's a good thing. The only thing you could adjust is going with the standard ASRock H97 Anniversary instead of the H97M anniversary, It's easier to work with for beginners in general and has more slots. You would also have to change your case to an Antec One.

If you have questions, you can add me on Skype. Send me a private message if you like that idea. I live in Rotterdam.

It is a dutch site, but that is because I am from the netherlands :)
But if you guys can help me with a build, i can check the prices and see if it fits my budget

didnt spend 650€ because i am not sure if you want monitor to for that budget

i you dont mind buying from other country i suggest you to buy your parts from hardwareversand.de they have great prices dont know how much shipping cost to Netherlands. i am from Slovenia and it costs 11€ so i dont think its higher than that

EDIT: just checked shipping to Netherlands costs 9.99€

yes the cheapest one motherboard dont affect performance only difference is that more expensive one have more things on it like more sata plugs more pci slots... only if you buy CPU for OC that you will need to look at how many power phases does it have.

there is no bad ram company out there all ram has lifetime warranty

no problem

not really if you are building pc for the first time i would recommend watching youtube video how to build pc before you start building it this one is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bUghCx9iso. if your laptop isnt dead yet you could watch video while building the pc so you dont forget something

yes any case except ITX case just make sure it supports matx motherboard if you are not sure you can post link of the case here and i will tell you if it will fit or you can look here http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/?compatible_with=msi-motherboard-h81mp33 all of this cases are compatible with MSI H81M-P33 some cases might be missing because is american site so in EU you will find some cases that are not on Pcpartpicker

EDIT: if you are going with ATX motherboard than all of this cases are compatible http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/?compatible_with=asrock-motherboard-h97anniversary
