you dont need to buy thermal paste

get an ssd for god sake. its 2019. make sure you buy a ssd which has dram cache. you will regret not buying a ssd.

power supply is overkill

 

buy cpu, ram, mobo and gpu used. it will save you a shit ton of money

It's 2019 and you're using only a HDD.. Please don't!! At least get a small SSD and plug in a HDD later. Something like a 250GB MX500 should already be fine..

Trade out the HDD for an SSD, I would likely go for a CX550(M) instead of that EVGA PSU and straight up remove the thermal paste and fans (I would likely just get two Artic fans for like 7 euros a piece).

 

You could also look into going second hand if you really want to save some money. I see 2600(x) CPU's go for 100-120 USD/Euros online on eBay/local places.

get rid of thermal paste idk why u have that there cooler has it on.

 

I seriously recommend getting a ssd too like especially in 2019 you will not regret it. Idk how anyone lives without a ssd.

 

Maybe go for 4gb version of gpu?

 

if u need to really decrease price u can prob go cheaper monitor.

i thoguht you said you already have a ssd? also dont forget that ssd is very small capacity so you wont be able to download any games. Your not really supposed to go over about a half of an ssd's capacity.

 

also that monitor is a bit too much of a downgrade i think...

You can get a gtx 1660 or rx 590 for the same price as the 1060.
