Hello guys,
   I am planning on building my very first mid-range budget pc by the end of the month. I have a stict budget around 600-650 euro and I would like your opinion on the parts I selected and if you think I should make any changes. Please if you do think I should change something, type why because I am new to this and I would like to learn more!

 

The use of this build is casual gaming, mostly TESO some other RPGs and some Call of Duty 4 and having it as my workstation for my university (Computer Science).

The link for the parts is this and I will type some key parts below.

CPU: Intel i3 6100
GPU: MSI GEFORCE 1050Ti OC 4GB
PSU: Corsair VS 550watt
Motherboard: MSI B150 PC MATE
RAM: Crucial Ballistix ELITE 8GB DDR4 (2x4)
 

Please keep in mind that my budget is very strict ,I can't give more than 650euro, this build is currently at 647 with taxes and delivery costs from Computer Universe and that I am fairly new to building computers and picking up parts!

 

Thank you for reading this,

    Marios C.

Well there's eshop.gr but they are more expensive than computer universe, currently that's the best website that gives me the best prices including delivery and taxes and the cyprus store is really expensive on most of the parts o.0

Either way, if the original build has no compatability errors or bottleneck etc etc, I will start getting the parts and join the glorious PCMASTER Race :D

Haha thanks mate, so do you find the build I posted vial?

no bottlenecks on your build, but the things that i would have changed are the case and PSU. You can get a cheaper case and invest on a better PSU.

Yeah my main concerns was the PSU, do have any recommendations? I really like that case, I had in mind the BitFenix nova at first for 33euro, but cable management was a pain as i've seen in reviews, might as well put it back to stay on budget. A case is kinda of a big deal for me because I want the build to look nice, I know it sounds stupid but I want to enjoy it while it's sitting on top of my desk :P

The  Corsair CX-Series CX450M  looks fine, less watt tho but I think it will get the job done.
