So basiclly im on a tight budget and had to build a pc for general tasks and bit gaming. Im gonna list the parts and then explain them.

 

Mobo: H81M-P34 (LGA1150)

RAM: DDR3 8x2 at 1600Mhz

CPU: Xeon E3-1270-V3

GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro+ RX 470 4GB OC

Case: Random Prebuild 

CPU Cooler: Random Gembird 

Case Fan: Random Gembird

SSD: Kingston A400 480GB

PSU: Deepcool DE500v2

 

 

Let me explain the budget king. 

The Mobo was pulled out of a old pre build ( diffrent prebuild )

The Xeon replaced I3 4170 2c/4t monster and gave me a good upgrade. I bought it from aliexpress for 30 euros.

Xeon is 4c/8t and 8MB cache and converted from server to desktop use. 

RAM is also from aliexpress for 20 euros, upgraded from 4gb to 16gb, also thats max the motherboard can take.

The RX 470 was bought from facebook marketplace, ex mining and self soltered hdmi port. It replaced a GT 730 2GB.

Case was pulled from random old prebuild, i remember it had gt 310 when bought in 2008.

CPU Cooler was intended to use for the i3, but it happened that it now sits on the xeon, runs kinda hot but not that bad so i will upgrade that latter.

Case fan came with the pre build case.

The SSD was actually bought new and works as a charm. 

PSU also from facebook marketplace, i needed the 8-pin for the gpu, bought it cheap and the seller included a sata cable ( idk why but thats chill ).

The Total cost was about 150euro and i use is everyday in dorms with a LG 1600x900 60Hz monitor. Thats why i think its a budget king.

If theres any more things i can add or change please recommend.
