Budget PC for a friend ( ~ €500)
parts are bought in the Netherlands, probably at www.alternate.nl
System is running Windows 7 and is used for school, browsing and a little bit of gaming (Mainly to play Sims3 and such games)

This is what I've got so far:


  • ASRock Z77M 77,9
    Intel® Core™ i5-3350P 157,9
    Kingston ValueRAM 8 GB DDR3-1333 Kit 61,9
    XFX HD7750 Core Edition (FX-775A-CGF4) 84,9
    HGST HTS721010A9E630 1 TB 74,9
    Corsair 430CX 41,49
    Sharkoon VS3-V chrome 29,99
    LG GH24NS70 16,99

Currently at a total of €545.97

Any suggestions?
Where can I save money, or what part should I change?
 
Thanks, I thought Z77 was the only chipset that supported the PCIe 3.0 and all Ivy Bridge features... Didn't know that Z77 is for overclockers.

Very usefull information, thanks
