making my first PC

[GhostGhost]

hey guys, so im fairly new here, and this has been on my mind for the longest time, having a proper PC for gaming and school. I may sound like an idiot here, so sorry in advance.

 

ive always wanted a PC ever since my friend got his, i play on console everyday but i also want to play with my friends on PC too. ive done some research and found some builds my friends recommended me, but im very unconfident about my ability to make a good PC. im essentially looking for a build somewhere around 400-500 euros (i live in EU) that would run games like CS:GO, GTA, PUBG etc. i realy dont want to sound like some a**hole but im just looking for some advice and guidance as to where i should look for parts etc.

 

thanks guys!

Do you know anything about the parts or would you like some recommendations? And would you be playing on your TV or on a monitor?  I can throw you together a list on pcpartpicker, and there are plenty of vendors out there, such as Newegg. However, all of the different components have different sellers. You should keep in mind that you'll need to purchase a copy of windows if you don't already have one. You can also customize how much storage you want, since you may not need a whole bunch.

ideally id want to play on a monitor since that would be better and yeah, im really just looking for recommendations, i also heard that putting the parts together yourself is much cheaper then having an already built one sent to you

I have  few comments on the list.

First this build really needs an ssd. It you can't get both get a $20 (Or Euro) SSD and then a hard drive later if you need it. Also you might want to wait until CES 19 if you can. New AMD cpus will be released and they sound amazing. Also the price of the 8100 should go down then.
