Hey i'm planning on building a pc next month since I'll finally be able to.

1. Budget & Location

My Budget is about 600-800 euros I think might be a little less(Netherlands).

2. Aim

I am planning on using it for gaming, primarily World of Warcraft but I'd finally like to be able to play some other gmes that are going to be released this year, preferably on med-high settings on a 1080p60 fps screen.(For people that wonnder i play on a 10yo something laptop now (Samsung R710) which only run wow at 800x600 with max of 30 fps if im lucky)

3. Monitors

I'm just going to use 1 monitor and maybe in the far future i will swit ch to 2 monitors but that wont eb necessary for another 5 years at least.

4. Peripherals

I have a mouse+KB although they're pretty cheap so i'd like to upgrade them at some point btu i will do that later down the line(although some cheap reommendations are appreciated) and I need to buy a monitor although i might eb able to scavenge one from a friend.

5. Why are you upgrading?

And I want to build this because I play on the aforementioned latop and want to play a game without frame drops on a  med-high(maybe even ultra) setting.

 

I already looked around a bit and asked some friends and they gave me some pointers, I mainly need help with the more in depth stuff of building I plan on buying it on the site "https://azerty.nl/" but any other sites that deliver to the netherlands are ok or just a list of parts so i can look for them myself. These are the parts I got so far I dont know how to choose a case, if I need another cooling, if I need a sound card, maybe video card/processor could be better for less(or save some money by having a slightly worse one).

 

My list of parts so far: https://azerty.nl/basket/?code=YTo1OntpOjE2ODQzNDtpOjE7aTo1MzAzNzU7aToxO2k6MTQxNzc1MztpOjE7aTo3NDUyOTI7aToxO2k6MzY4MTM7aToxO30=

 

(If I'm not allowed to post links like these please tell me and I'll take em out, couldnt find it in the rules)

Definetly get a better motherboard, try 16 gigs of memory,1060ti, and to cool your cpu a hyper 212 evo.

Why better mobo? 16gigs not always necessary, there is no 1060 ti, and why use a CPU cooler on a locked CPU?

is it worth picking 16gigs over 8? Will I notice it when gamingor can I upgrade that later?

I'm kinda new to this so thanks guys ^^

Well , seeing your budget I think you should start with 8 gigs. You can always update in the future. I'm gaming with 8 gigs and everything runs fine on that.

 

I dunno where you from but I order Al my parts at informatique. Great customer service and fast delivery.

My advice: Make an account on tweakers.net. There you can add a wishlist and you add all the parts on there. It shows in what shops the parts are the cheapest, and you can make an order list where it takes deliverycosts and gives you the way you can order your parts the cheapest. Plus it also shows you shop ratings so you can always buy from one of the cheaper well rated shops. I parted out my PC on tweakers and payed 1480€. If I would have ordered all my parts at Azerty I would have paid 1541. Thats worth the difference in my opinion. Thats my advice, the other guys have helped you with the parts :D

 

Veel succes en plezier!
