Hello there i need help in bulding my first gaming pc and i got a strict budget..
Im from greece prices here are way too extreme...and all this stuff about miners gpu prices are intense.
My budget is about 800 euro if possible id like to use less money as possible, Im looking for 1080p 60fps gaming high setting
Keep in mind that a 600$ pc USD is about 800euro here or even more...

CPUs are astoundingly resilient. Motherboards tend to give out before the CPU. As long as the CPU isn't running at the maximum temperature I don't think the CPU would die until long after you were finished with it. CPUs from 10 years ago are still running strong.

I recommended the ASRock Pro4 instead of the MSI Gaming Pro because the Pro4 has 4 RAM slots, that way you can run 2x4GB in dual-channel and still have room to upgrade to 16GB later. 2x4GB in dual-channel has better performance over 1x8GB in single-channel.

Other than that everything else looks fine. I have an EVGA 500B from a previous budget-build and it's okay if you're on a budget. RX 580 8GB is good I'd probably prefer it over the 1060 6GB anyway. It will last longer as...

I don't really know how prices are in Greece, but I'll try with PCPartPicker to get you an idea. I really maxed out your budget going for the better CPU and GPU. You could drop down to a Ryzen 5 1400 or even Ryzen 3 1200 and a GTX 1060 3GB if you wanted to save more money. I'm also unsure what else you need, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, Operating System, etc. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

(*Edit: Be sure the RX 580 8GB doesn't require 2x8-pin PCIe connectors, because the EVGA 500B only has 1x 8+6-pin connectors. Come to think of it, you may want a better PSU if you are going to overclock.)

Cases are up to you. Get whichever one you like and can afford. My first couple of gaming PC's that I built for myself had ridiculously cheap cases. I'd suggest making sure it has room for at least 120mm intake and exhaust fans, you will want both.

thank you very much for your time and helping me out!
i've never overclocked in general but i think ill overclock the cpu abit to see some results
if im gonna need a different PSU can you suggest me one by using this site here "http://www.e-shop.gr/trofodotika-psu" cause im probably going to buy everything thats available from there
BTW the ASRock Pro4 has latest BIOS in it or i have to download them to a flash drive or something and install them

I only really know Corsair, EVGA, and SeaSonic brands, so I'd recommend this CX650M http://www.e-shop.gr/psu-corsair-cx-series-modular-cx650m-650w-p-PER.643363

As far as I know the Pro4 should come with a compatible BIOS.

*Maybe someone else can help you with a cheaper power supply that is as good as the CX650M. The CX650M is modular, so that makes it more expensive. Or if you wait til later tonight I can research some of the brands on that site and maybe find a cheaper one.
