I want to buy a PC (buy the hardware and build it myself) at about the price of 800 euros. The PC i want to buy/build will be exlcusively for gaming purpuses only (1080p gaming). Note that i would prefer it to be able to play games that will be released the next 3-4 or so years decently. The only parts i won't need to buy are the mouse, keyboard  the OS and the storage unit (HDD / SSD). This means i will need to buy a new monitor. Please give me your suggestions because i don't have any experience of understanging what performance a given system will have exactly. Thanks in advance :)

Do you have a set price range or is it all or nothing?

Seems like its not your day...  :unsure: 

Two problems with your build:

  • The motherboard doesn't have pricing in PCPP, which means it is not included in the end price. So it's over his budget.
  • Apart from that the motherboard would've not been a good choice anyways, because the CPU has a locked multiplier. That means he doesn't need the Z97 chipset and would be fine with a H97, H87, H81 or B85 chipset.
