Looking for a gaming build

[martx21]

Hi all,

So I've been looking for a good gaming build but I'm afraid that I just raise my money for computers for playing nextgen games with amazing graphics but I just need a PC for playing not really high graphics games like League of Legends and maybe Minecraft, doing school stuff and maybe sometimes record a bit. Budget is around 600-700€ (components + monitor). If anyone can help?

Best regards!

I didn't know if you needed an operating system or not, but here's a build you could buy. If you convert the £ into Euros it finishes around 16 Euros more but if you can afford the expenditure then this build would be spectacular!

Prices may vary considering where you're from, but I could not anticipate this.

Hi
Take an i5 4440 for CPU, otherwise you will update the BIOS of the mobo
You can get more perfs by taking a cheaper CPU and stronger GPU

 

[Mr Pedantic]

I generally forgot about the BIOS update which may be required but there would be no need really for a better graphics card as he would only be playing "CPU intensive" games anyway.

That's about 672€.
This is major overkill for Minecraft and League of Legends, but you will be satisfied with the performance.

Prices in Britain are a lot more expensive than in the USA, but of course if where you're at has similar prices than to the USA the go for the above build. It would help if we knew where you were purchasing from 😉

Thanks alot guys but one problem: the memory that voyboy suggested isn't available in my country so I thought that is this one a good memory? It's also the cheapest one... https://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-ct102464ba160b

 

[martx21]

Case also not available in Estonia so need a new one..

 

[voyboyfan]

Hmm.. You should look for CAS 9 or less.

Is this one avaliable in your country? https://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c9d8gab

Are the Fractal Design 2300/2500 avaliable in your country? They will fit your R9 280 with no problem.
They are also very cheap, about $40.

The case is, the memory isn't. Also forgot about the PSU, also not available... I'll just show you the list of memories and PSUs that are in my store so you can pixk from there:
