Need help with parts for my first gaming pc! budget max €800

[PCTDROOD]

Hi guys!

I want to build my first gaming pc and my budget is no more than €800, which might be low budget, but it's all I got.

My goal is to play most games without lag (not necessarily max settings). For example I would love to play Left for Dead, Dead Island, Just Cause 3, Far Cry 4, CS:GO, Borderlands (all kinds of games basically!) without lag en if possible in decent settings.

I'd like to know what parts I need in order to build one (CPU, Motherboard, Case, etc.) and what builds you guys recommend (AMD or Intel, 8GB or 16 etc...) I have already got a monitor, but no OS! Would like Windows (probably 10...).

I'd love to hear what you guys can tell me!

Cheers.

This would be a nice build. The MB has the 1150 codec for upgraded audio. SSD storage for progams. HDD storage for data (photos, videos, documents, etc.)

Thank you very much Bearmann! So you believe this is all I need in order to play games like the ones above? I am new to this world of building a pc and playing all kinds of games but very enthusiastic. I do have some questions in addition: what does the category "other" mean? Do I need to overclock?

Thanks anyways!

Yes, it's a good gaming PC. I had to add it to the other column because its not available for purchase yet. It's supposed to be released on June 29th. Overclocking isn't likely to help your current build. In the future, if you were to get a better GPU, you may benefit from overclocking the CPU. For the i5 6600K plus cooler, it would add at least €66 to your build.
