First PC build

[KingDavid5551]

Hello!

 

I'm going to build my first gaming pc soon. My maximum budget is 900 euros. I also need to buy monitors and keyboard inside this budget. 

 

I'm from Estonia, so I expect to buy all my parts from one Estonian shop, to avoid any struggle with taxes and shipping. The link of decent Estonian components shop is here https://www.galador.ee/  I'm adding it just in case. Keep in mind that components are more expensive here than in US.

 

Can you judge my current choise of parts?

 

I'm going to play on 1080p and I play games like batllefield 4, gtaV, Age of Empires III and CS-GO.

 

Thank you!

how much is the RX 480? if you can make some compromises i would do it in order to get the bump from 470 to 480 - it is well worth it.

I could make a compromise and get GPU from amazon GB or DE.

 

I also saw that I need to buy the i5-6500 that is boxed, so I could get the cooler. I chose the tray version by accident.

Looks alright. Personally, I'd change that monitor to a FreeSync one: https://www.galador.ee/1230-monitorid/3449394-monitor-aoc-g2260vwq6-21-5inch-d-sub-hdmi-dp

It looks awesome. However, I've never heard of that keyboard brand, and it looks like a membrane keyboard. See if you can find a cheap mechanical keyboard in your area; it's well worth it.

Thank you! It's some cheap Eastern-European brand. I highly doubt they sell these outside Eastern-Europe region, that's why you have probably never heard about it. I will look for mechanical keyboard. @Aereldor

I just want to add: you can buy either version of the CPU but I would NOT use the stock CPU cooler.  They are junk and a good CPU cooler isn't very expensive, you can get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO pretty darn cheap and while it's BIG (make sure it fits in your case) it will perform *significantly* better.  It should also come with some thermal paste, but you can get some Arctic Silver V for a few euros without any trouble.

I will consider it. I know the stock one can be pretty loud. @aithos

It's not just that it's loud, the thermal pad that comes with it is really poor for transferring heat and they just don't cool very well because they are tiny.  I don't know the price in Euros, but the cooler I mentioned is about $35 so we aren't talking about a lot of money to get something that will perform several times better AND will increase the overall lifespan of your build.  Heat is the enemy!
