Build for Gaming

[Mrkimmy]

Hello Everyone! My bestfriend from Netherlands wants to build a gaming computer for 800€ (shipping price + pc build). He wants to play games and record gameplays. 

He doesn't need any accessories/peripherals. Just the PC Build itself. 

 

I hope you guys could help my friend get a new computer!

Does he/she plan on overclocking?

[Rockyt]

uum if he wants good graphics AND gameplay recording...i think 800 MAY be a little less, still not too sure

No.

It can just be gaming.

No. 

This is my recommendation then. Note here for others; Reason I didn't switch the Z97 board to H97 is because color (blue/red = ew), and there wasn't too much of a price difference between them.
