Tech Tip (ha ha ha) required for a gaming pc... cheap!

Hello there!

So, long story short: I'm a 21yo guy, nearing his degree in Computer Science (I'll get it in July, supposedly).

After that, I'll go for a master in Game Programming, and I'll need a new pc (as the one I have right now is a notebook with a i5-4210u, 8GB of RAM and a GT820M 2GB).

My idea for the pc is a good bang for the buck pc, for a budget that is like... 600 euros. I will buy from Italy obviously... any tip or build?

Not necessarily parts from this year, also something less recent but still good to play any game at 1080p with, possibly, high quality. 

 

Thanks in advance <3

It'll play 1080p  60fps, likely at medium settings. Shouldn't be too bad a system, you could also look at different cases should you not like the look of that one.

Awesome job from @Eastman51

The only thing I'd change is that sometimes you can find 1tb SSDs for around 100 euro, which may be better if you hate partitioning like me.

 

Edit: maybe also get a cheaper case and a better processor?

You realize I have an Rx570 8GB on the list, right? The APU alone obviously can't do 60fps on medium.

I changed the case to the cheapest I could find on PCP Italia. Depending on budget flexibility he could get a 2400G instead though....

First of all, thanks to everybody that answered! 

Then... @Eastman51, that build seems pretty good, but some pieces don't have prices, so I fear it'll be a little higher than that... 

And, btw, 40 US$ is like 35€ rn, so... not terrible!

Finally, in that video it says that he uses the APU for the test, not a different GPU...

No problem!

And I realized that after I linked the list, sorry. I updated it with everything but the mobo with pricing. You can probably still find it online somewhere, but you can look at alternative B450 boards if you edit the PCP.

Would an ASRock B450 Pro4 be a good alternative? It's ATX format and not too exaggerated for price...

see one of the benches i did with them, and yeah they have no heatsink, but 2 b honest they dont even get really hot with good airflow

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/13624168

Yeah, with good airflow heatsink won't be a problem... maybe I'll look to invest more money into a bunch of RAM with lower latency, but not for the time being ^^'
