First try with PC-Buildig

[Feix11]

Hello everyone,

as a former Playstaytion Gamer I want to build my first PC, but my money and knowledge is limited. (as an engineering student I currently work at 450€ a month)
Next thing is I don't even have peripherals yet so I'm open for every option. 1080p gaming with mid to high settings is enough for me (at the moment!).
This Rig is not thought to be top of the line I want to use it mostly to play racing simulators with a steering wheel, first on one screen later maybe on three so a bit upgradeability should be given. 

And I don't want to buy new parts every year so I hope this is enough for a decent PC.
Behind every product I'll tell you my thougts so you understand why i chose those products.

I have absolutely no idea how to choose a motherboard so I hope you can help me with this. Please explain me why you changed some parts (I want to learn something)

 

Price between 450 to 650€  please note i need peripherals too

BTW I'm open to older Products and used ones as well

 

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($189.99 @ SuperBiiz)                 Linus told me this one is enough for gaming 
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG M9i 48.4 CFM CPU Cooler  ($19.99 @ Newegg Marketplace)       Had good recommendations
Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  ($46.97 @ Jet)             only one Stick to upgrade in the future (if 4 GB is enough tell me)
Storage: PNY CS1311 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($64.99 @ Jet)                                  ssd is a must have for every new pc 128gb would be ok too but the pricing was not much different
Storage: Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($67.88 @ OutletPC)                 at least 1TB but for 20€ more i got 2 so I got that going which is nice (1tb would be ok too)
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB OC Edition Video Card  ($149.99 @ SuperBiiz)   a good gpu I think
Case: NZXT S340 (Black/Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz)                                looks cool in my opinion (case should have a window)
Power Supply: EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($38.49 @ SuperBiiz)       psu from a good brand and 450W should be more than enough
Total: $645.29

Thanks in advance

You have a really good base. Prices do change so always shops around and keep an eye on things. Peripherals start cheap and can get spendy quick to upgrade as you go. Your fundamentals are pretty good with lots of room to upgrade here and there when you get some more money. You will see huge difference compared to console.

Use PCPartPicker Germany. There are a lot of things in your build that could be greatly improved. For instance, rather than wasting your money on a cooler that provide any real benefits over the stock cooler on a locked chip, you could get a better CPU or GPU.

 

PCPartPicker Germany also has better deals on cases and power supplies. This Nanoxia case is an absolute steal.

 

Here's a better build with peripherals. However, you'll need a Windows key and a monitor to game. I included those too. The CPU is cheaper, but still performs almost as well, and the GPU is better. The combination will perform a lot better than a 6500 and a GTX 750 Ti. I had to go over budget, but I also included an amazing backlit (customizable) mechanical keyboard and a gaming mouse from Cooler Master.

Good response, but you don't have to quote the entire, enormous first post. OP gets a notification for every comment, and you can always snip quotes. It makes it easier, as other users don't have to scroll over a page-long response, and far easier for users on mobile, who have to just keep scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.

No idea why would someone spend that much money on a case for a low budget build. (cheaper case would mean maybe a rx470)

I included one in my build. There's this 20-euro Nanoxia Case that looks like a Define S, has sound dampening, and is an absolute steal. I could probably do an RX 480 8GB if he/she didn't need a monitor, Windows, and peripherals.

Thanks for the fast replys!
i chose the expensive case just because i liked it and the black and blue colour scheme is with me since long ago (my mountainbike and helmet etc. are black and blue to).

but saving 40€ is good too.
I'm going to add a 128GB SSD to your solution for windows even if that breaks my budget. I like the backlit keyboard! Never heard of that brand before.

Thanks for the help
see you racing!
