2400€ Build

maxdepalma · June 28, 2015

Hello, I need a new computer and I decided to build it myself. I am not new to this but I have never actually chosen the parts so I would like some help for a build that is in between a workstation and gaming rig. I have €2400ish to spend in total(Peripherals included) and I live in Italy. I usually edit videos and photos, I watch movies and I work with Virtual Machines but I also do some casual gaming. ALso looks and resolution are very important to me. Silence is optional.

Thank you in advance!

It's a shame, most people with a budget like that could make a better build but Italy has quite the lack of supplies in stock.

The Italian pcpartpicker is limited to Amazon.it so I used the UK version just for ease of use. Your budget is roughly £1700 when converted from Euros so you should be able to get a similar spec locally or online.

I haven't included a Mouse or Keyboard as you can pick those yourself depending on your needs. The BenQ Monitor is a 1440p IPS screen.
