Build Advice New PC Build

[IdontKnowmyName]

Hey! I want to build a PC for a family member. I will order the parts and assemble them at my home,
get everything ready and then i'll deliver it to him and install it.

Approximate Purchase Date: Open. No preference.

Budget Range: 1.500€ after shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming. Strictly A:SE and MC but i want to leave room for some additional power just incase he finds a new Game.

Are you buying a monitor: Edit: Yes. If it falls into the budget, a 32inch monitor would be nice.
60HZ is totally fine.

Parts to Upgrade: New Build

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon Europe and other stores that deliver to Europe like Alza.

Location: Styria, Austria

Parts Preferences: I'll use the same case i've done in my own Build,
Montec Air 903 Base
https://at.pcpartpicker.com/product/kKcgXL/montech-air-903-base-atx-mid-tower-case-air-903-base-b

Overclocking: No

Multiple GPUs: No

I'll also need something that protects from static charge. Didn't care in my own build,
but i want to be on the safe side with someone else's money.

Your Monitor Resolution: I can't tell. Finding that out with the person im building the PC for would be an multi hour long process.

Additional Comments: Building it for a family member that is VERY PC illiterate. Anything that has the least chance of breaking/needing manual work is prefered.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: He has been constantly scammed by people with "ThIs Pc CaN rUn aNyThInG" just for me to check and find 20+ year old hardware.
I want to make sure that the PC i'll build for him runs like a charm.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Pretty strong build. CPU is pretty decent, has great gaming performance, along with a decent 1440p GPU.

Rest of the system is pretty well balanced. Some of the other users will have build options too, in particular @Why_Me among others. Keep the thread open for other options.

I wouldn’t go 32” as you’ll really want it to be 4K at that size, 27” you can get away with 1440p

@Why_Me Thanks for the build!

He said he "dislikes" his current monitor as its small, but ima run it by him to see if 27 inch would be enough!
Very affordable build tho, thanks for your time! 😊
