Hey, so I have a strict 600 euro budget and I can only go very little over it if I really need to. This is what I came up with myself:

For reasons it would take too long to explain I can only buy from this particular store. 2 x 4GB ram here will cost me 80 euros, or I can get 1x8gb for just a little more than 60. Would that be worth it?

 

I don't intend on hardcore gaming, I play mostly MMOS on high settings.

 

I know there's no optical drive but seriously who still uses cd's lol

 

how will it do?

I recommend to change the GTX 750 Ti and get a R7 370.

I'd suggest getting a slightly better PSU. Other than that seems fine.

Where are you buying ?

you are overpaying if in the EU, and you pieces are not the best / chaepest

I know that but again, long story between store and me

 

As for the r7 370, thanks m8 I see it performs a lot better and is only 10 euros more expensive.

 

I didn't want to get more PSU than I needed, I don't intend on upgrading for a long while.

I am asuming that is coolblue.nl? I shall look for some parts on that site with some nice prices. I bought a 500 euro pc 6 months ago on alternate.nl which is gpu wise better then this

Looking better than the previous one. Didn't think that 750Ti's would be that expensive, though.

 

As other have suggested, R7 370 / 270 / 270x is probably a safe bet for change compared to a 750 Ti.

 

As for RAM... 4 GB could be enough, but might be better to up it to 8 GB if possible. As for whether or not spend more to get a dual-channel kit instead of a single module is worth it, maybe. Even if a dual-channel kit had a more-or-less better performance, a single 8 GB module would still be better than a single 4 GB module.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

So assuming that is cooblue.nl (I am 99% sure it is) change these 2 parts and it is a solid build:

GPU: http://www.videokaartshop.nl/product/407624/club-3d-radeon-r9-270-royalqueen.html (it is only 5 euro's more expensive then that 750 TI but MUCH better, believe me)
