the attached picture shows what I'm thinking of buying atm, however this exceeds my budget by 200 $.

 

I'd appreciate any advice on how to lower the cost or if I'm bottlenecking something etc.

(I want the company to assemble the pc for me as I'm afraid that I will break something)

 

1. Budget & Location

1500-1400 $ with peripherals

location: sweden

2. Aim

I would like to have a stable pc that can run games on fairly high settings

3. Monitors

just 1 monitor

4. Peripherals

I need all of the peripherals (mouse, keyb, headset) and they don't need to be the best of the best, I not too picky on that, (don't need a mechanical keyboard) and want to use wind.10.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I don't have a pc atm and need a new one

 

 

edit: the cpu is i5-8400 because it costs the same as i5-6400 in the store

Get faster RAM, the CPU and motherboard aren't compatible, the PSU is pretty bad, build the PC yourself, and get Windows from Reddit or Kinguin for ~$25

mobo and cpu don't work together, and psu is eh (look for a corsair cx/cxm grey sticker psu instead)

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
