First PC, budget €400 - €500 any suggestions? low-medium end gaming pc

[DaanRozema]

I want to build my first pc, but because I am very new to this I don't know what parts I should buy. So I was hoping someone on the internet would be kind enough to help me out

I am willing to spend somewhere between 400 and 500 euros, I will only use the pc for gaming and web browsing. It doesn't have to be a very high-end pc, at the moment I mostly play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I'm not planning on overclocking it. What I do want is the possibility to upgrade it later if I start playing heavier games or whatever. I do want windows 10. (I don't know if that matters)

Cpu: I read into it a bit and found out that a quad-core would be enough for most gaming, and from my own experience with my laptop I think that somewhere around 3,4 GHz is enough. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Motherboard: I have know Idea what I need or what I want, from what I read I think a Mini ITX will do me just fine, but I'm not completly sure.

Ram: I read 4 GB ram is good enough for wat I want, but as I sad I might somewhere down the line want to upgrade it to 8, I don't know.

Case: In would love to get a case that is easy with the cabel management, I do not care how it looks, as long as it's not so ugly I can't even look at it

Gpu: I've got no idea.... I'm not interested in SLI or crossfire.

Storage: I don't think I need an SSD.

I don't need an optical drive.

I don't have a monitor yet, suggestions are ofcourse appreciated.

I live in the Netherlands, maybe it matters for shipping, I don't know. I hope I did not make to many grammer mistakes and I hope that there is someone out there that is willing to help me, Thanks in advance.

I see you added a SSD card to the list, can't I better get a normal hard drive? It will be slower, but it can store more and it will be cheaper.

The Motherboard is a micro-atx, now I don't really care that much which one I'm getting, as long as it does the job. But could you please explain why you choose a micro-atx and not a mini-itx? I'm just currious.

A regular hdd is very noticeable slower, defenetly not recommanded.
you play a couple small games , + eveything you download + browsing will be stored on your hard drive.

your pc will feel more responsive, snappier, tabs programs open way faster.

just add that hdd later when u get enough money, believe me, its enough for 5 large games , few small games and your os .

Ditch the ssd and get 8gb of ram. 4gb is not enough nowadays even if you are only playing cs go. Also because of ditching the ssd you can get a 1050ti for usually 10-20 euro more.

Btw when looking for good prices use tweakers.net great site for us dutchies lists all the sites that deliver to the netherlands and belgium.

Now I got 2 people saying 2 different things...

Do you say that I can skip the ssd and don't need a hdd, or do I need an hdd? do you say that 8gb without ssd but with hdd will be just as good and cheaper, or don't I understand you correctly? sorry for my noobieness, but I'm new to this stuff.

btw, when I search on pcpartpicker.com for corsair vengeance lpx ddr4, I get a lot of options, I see one 2x4gb for $77. I don't know which one superninja12 suggested, but it looks like I can get 8gb without a problem.
